Quote: Men: Obama 41, McCain 41. Women: Obama 54, McCain 25. Obama is viewed favorably by 61% of Connecticut voters, virtually identical to last month�s finding, and unfavorably by 38%. The latter is a five percentage point improvement from early July. McCain�s numbers are 51% favorable, compared to 54% last month, and 47% unfavorable, up from 43% in July. McCain has the support of 70% of the state�s Republicans, with 23% of GOP voters backing Obama. Among Democrats, 80% support Obama and only 9% McCain. Unaffiliated voters are evenly divided, with 41% for McCain and 40% for Obama. For 43% of Connecticut voters, economic issues are their primary concern this election year, compared to 23% who rate national security as first. This finding is common nationwide. In 2004 national security was the number one voter concern. Forty-eight percent (48%) say lowering the price of gas and oil is more important than protecting the environment, but nearly as many (45%) disagree. Almost half (49%) do not believe the United States has the best economy in the world, but 41% agree that most reporters make the economy seem worse than it really is. Similarly, despite Obama�s substantial lead in the state, 67% say most reporters try to help the candidate they want to win with their coverage, and 47% say the media is trying to help the Democratic candidate this year. Only 9% say most reporters are trying to help McCain, and 28% believe the media offers unbiased coverage. Those figures are similar to the national average. Other findings from the poll -- Obama crushes McCain 57-35 in Connecticut, and Lieberman would actually hurt McCain on the ticket in the state. Let's hope McCain picks him. "At this stage of the campaign, Sen. Barack Obama is rolling over Sen. John McCain in Connecticut. Quinnipiac University also has conducted surveys in seven swing states in the last two weeks and Sen. Obama is ahead in every one" said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D. "It still is very early in the campaign and Obama gets a bump from not having to run against Sen. Clinton any more, but for now, the Connecticut landslide looks like part of a trend." "Obama is winning among the demographic groups where he seemed to be having problems when he faced Sen. Clinton: white voters, especially whites with less than a college degree," Dr Schwartz added. If McCain picks Sen. Joseph Lieberman as his running mate, only 14 percent of Connecticut voters say they are more likely to vote Republican, while 32 percent are less likely and 52 percent say it won't affect their vote. By a 61 - 23 percent margin, Connecticut voters have a favorable opinion of Obama, compared to 46 - 38 percent for McCain. Because of his age, 23 percent of voters say they are less likely to vote for McCain, while 75 percent say it won't affect their vote. Obama's race won't affect their vote, 89 percent say. Barack Obama has opened a huge lead over John McCain in Connecticut. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds the Democrat ahead 52% to 35%. This is the first Rasmussen Reports survey of the race since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination and Hillary Clinton ended her campaign. A month ago, Obama led McCain by just three percentage points in the Nutmeg State. In March, Obama was up by a dozen points just before Pastor Jeremiah Wright became a campaign issue. Since wrapping up the Democratic nomination, Obama�s numbers have improved in both state polls and nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. In Connecticut, Obama has a solid 58% to 30% lead among women, but just a five point advantage among men. Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, Obama leads 44% to 37%. The Democratic nominee is viewed favorably by 62% of Connecticut voters, up from 54% last month. He is viewed unfavorably by 43%. McCain�s numbers are 54% favorable and 43% unfavorable, which have remained unchanged since the last poll. . .
