It appears that the American people just might be getting the message that Obama isn&#8217;t all that experienced. And how shocking is it that McCain beats Obama on Iraq as well! Iraq? What? I thought that Obama was giving the people what they wanted? Shouldn&#8217;t he get a majority on that one? Guess maybe the people aren&#8217;t interested in surrendering and leaving in defeat? <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When it comes to the economy, 47% of voters trust John McCain more than Barack Obama. Obama is trusted more by 41%. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey also found that, when it comes to the War in Iraq, McCain is trusted more by 49% of voters. Obama is preferred by 37%. McCain has an even larger edge\u201453% to 31%&#8211;on the broader topic of National Security. These results are little changed from a month ago.<br \/>\nObama enjoys a 43% to 39% advantage when it comes to government ethics and reducing corruption. McCain has a 44% to 38% advantage on taxes.<br \/>\nIt is interesting to note that while McCain has the edge over Obama on these issues, Democrats are trusted more than Republicans on a generic basis. This ability of McCain to outperform the party label helps explain why he is competitive with the Democrats in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking poll. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(<a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2008\/06\/01\/rasmussen-mccain-winning-the-trust-of-voters\/\">via<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big shock there!
