Quote:

Voters’ attention to the campaign is about as high today as it was in October 2004, less than a month before that election. But things are much more fluid now. 13% of voters today remain undecided; and even though most voters who support each candidate say their minds are made up, 27% of Obama voters and 31% McCain voters say they could still change their minds.

54% of Obama voters say they like their candidate “a great deal” better than McCain, compared to 48% of McCain supporters who like him “a great deal” better than Obama. 22% of those currently supporting McCain see him as only “a little” better than the Illinois Senator.
