Quote:

McCain has the support of 51 percent of likely voters if the election were held now, while 42 percent back Obama. Seven percent remain undecided.

The results include people who are undecided but leaning toward a candidate.

The poll also shows that most Kentuckians believe that the $700 billion financial rescue plan passed by Congress in September and signed into law by President Bush will provide at least some help to the economy.

Six percent of Kentuckians believe that the aid package would help the economy a lot, while 46 percent said it would help some. Thirty-seven percent said it wouldn't help much.

McCain and Obama supported that package, and it appeared to have little effect on their standing in Kentucky.

The latest poll, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc., of Washington, D.C., interviewed 817 likely Kentucky voters by telephone Oct. 27-29 and has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.

A Bluegrass Poll taken in late September showed McCain with a 53 percent to 41 percent lead over Obama. Six percent were undecided then.
