Obama, McCain in Tight National Race
A new shows Sen. Barack Obama edging Sen. John McCain, 47% to 44%, in a general election match up.
"The tightening general election matchup between Obama and McCain shows some sullying of Obama's personal image over the past three months, despite his primary victories. Over this period, unfavorable views of McCain have risen as well."
Key finding: "Obama's slipping image is in some measure a negative reaction from frustrated Clinton supporters. Currently, just 46% of those who support Clinton for the nomination say the party will unite behind Obama if he is the nominee."
A new shows Obama leading McCain, 47% to 45%.
"This is a real race. Obama's vote has not risen above 48% and the intensity of support and opposition for each candidate is very similar."
