The latest NEWSWEEK Poll shows the Democrat with a 15-point lead over McCain.

With numbers consistently showing rock-bottom approval ratings for President Bush and a large majority of Americans unhappy with the country's direction, the opposing-party candidate should, in the normal course, have attracted more disaffected voters. Now it looks as if Obama is doing just that. A new NEWSWEEK Poll shows that he has a substantial double-digit lead, 51 percent to 36 percent, over McCain among registered voters nationwide.

Obama's current lead also reflects the large party-identification advantage the Democrats now enjoy—55 percent of all voters call themselves Democrats or say they lean toward the party while just 36 percent call themselves Republicans or lean that way. Even as McCain seeks to gain voters by distancing himself from the unpopular Bush and emphasizing his maverick image, he is suffering from the GOP's poor reputation among many voters.

Good Bye Republicans!!

Where's my dancing emoticon

What will we call him?

President Obama, or President Barack?

I kinda like President Barack!!

Fanta you are starting to smell with your head being so far up Barry's butt.

There are a lot of hard working Democrats who should revel in this news!

Bump!

The only thing I smell is Republican fear that McCain is going to lose big time in November and the gravy train ends for them!
