Quote:
Obama leads John McCain 50% to 46% in the findings from Monday night. Ten days ago the Democrat had a five-point lead, 50% to 45%. He took the lead in Nevada – by four points - at the beginning of this month, the first time he’d been out front since July.Forty-nine percent (49%) of Nevada voters say Obama is the candidate most likely to carry Nevada next Tuesday, while 35% say McCain will win.
Obama made two appearances in Nevada on Saturday, his 19th visit to the state where he also battled Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries. McCain has not been in the state since August, although his running mate, Sarah Palin, staged a rally there last week.
Obama is viewed favorably by 51% of Nevada voters and unfavorably by 48%. Fifty-three percent (53%) regard McCain favorably while 45% see him unfavorably.
Forty-nine percent (49%) say the economy is the primary issue in the campaign. Voters in Nevada are closely divided over which candidate they trust more to deal with that issue. Forty-seven percent (47%), however, agree with Obama that when the government spreads wealth around, it’s good for everybody, but 43% disagree.
Nineteen percent (19%) say national security is the most important issue in the campaign. Voters trust McCain more than Obama by 10 points in this area.
