Pew national: Obama 49%, Clinton 40%; McCain 61%, Huckabee 23%, Paul 7%

[Mr. Morden]

Pew national poll:

http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=398

Obama 49%
Clinton 40%

McCain 61%
Huckabee 23%
Paul 7%

Lots of interesting stuff here, like McCain's favorability in different subgroups:



What single word do you associate with each candidate (number of respondents, not %ages):



Interesting that for McCain, we have:

14 Conservative
12 Liberal

Number who say that troops should be brought home from Iraq now just barely outnumbers those who think they should remain for the time being.  Here's the %age by party affiliation who say "keep troops in Iraq":



A sizable minority of those who want to "stay" favor a "timeline" though.  (I'm using scare quotes on a lot of these terms, because the definitions are kind of fuzzy.)

Also, a surprisingly high 32% of respondents favor withdrawing from Afghanistan, and 24% say it was a mistake to go into Afghanistan in the first place.
