Quote:
Holes in Barack Obama’s foreign affairs resume are spurring doubt about his readiness for a crisis – raising the stakes on his upcoming trip overseas and posing potential opportunity for his otherwise weaker Republican opponent, John McCain.Obama continues to hold most of the advantages in the presidential race, in enthusiasm, levels of partisanship, personal qualities and trust on top domestic issues, notably No. 1, the economy; and he’s improved in the past month among swing voter groups. But his experience gap vs. McCain shows up especially in global politics.
Americans by a wide margin, 63-26 percent, pick McCain as more knowledgeable on world affairs, rate him much more highly in terms of readiness for the world stage and military leadership alike, and put him ahead of Obama by 50-41 percent in trust to handle “an unexpected major crisis.”
