University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist Charles Franklin said the likely voter shift over the last week has to do with the economic crisis and that Wisconsin mirrors what's happened across the country."What we've seen in just the last 10 days in state after state and national poll after national poll is that following the financial crisis last Monday and Tuesday McCain's growing advantage that happened after the Republican convention stopped, turned completely around and has moved sharply back for Obama," said Franklin. "Since neither of these candidates has particularly distinguished themselves by their economic policy, they've both emphasized other aspects the fact that the economic crisis seems to be hurting McCain and helping Obama is politically very important."
WISC-TV also asked participants about the proposed government bailout and whether voters approve or disapprove of the government's action and only 32 percent approve and 61 percent disapprove with 7 percent not sure.
