A new USA Today/Gallup poll re****ts two out of three Americans are
concerned that McCain would pursue policies that are too similar to what
Bush has pursued. Forty-nine percent re****ted they are "very concerned."
(OK, they don't want Bush, they want a change)
As the presumptive Republican nominee, McCain faces Bush's legacy and his
low approval ratings. Bush's approval rating is 28 percent among
Americans.
However, 60 percent of Republicans re****t approval of Bush, as well as 55
percent of McCain sup****ters. Among Democrats, his approval rating is at 6
percent.
(OK, they don't want Bush)
As for Obama, he is "running as the 'change candidate,' and while that
would
seem to be the advantageous positioning in an election to replace an
unpopular in***bent, there is risk in advocating more change than perhaps
Americans would be comfortable with," Gallup's Jeffrey M. Jones re****ts.
"To
the extent that McCain and the Republican Party can paint Obama as looking
to make too great a departure from the status quo, they can make McCain
seem
like a safe alternative."
About half of Americans polled re****ted that they are concerned that Obama
would change Bush's policies too much, including 30 percent who are "very
concerned."
(I.e. they don't want change)
Truly, there is a large ding-a-ling factor with the American voters.
I hope that the US has not become a country of PJs.
