Forty-nine percent (49%) have a favorable opinion of McCain, while 50% regard him unfavorably.
Interestingly, 22% say Obama would scare them the most if he showed up at their door at Halloween, compared to just 13% who say that of McCain. Scariest by far though for 42% is McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, while Joseph Biden, who is running with Obama, would scare just 10% the most.
Sixty percent (60%) also think it is at least somewhat likely that Massachusetts’ African-American governor, Deval Patrick, will join the Cabinet should Obama be elected president.
Forty-nine percent (49%) rate the economy as the number one issue in the election, while 21% see national security as most important.
Massachusetts voters trust Obama more than McCain on both the economy (59% to 35%) and national security (54% to 42%).
