SurveyUSA is a roundup of voter perceptions about Barack Obama and John McCain and some of the numbers are, well, surprising:
* On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being very unfavorable and 10 being favorable, 13 percent of Mass. Dems gave Obama a 1 with 44 percent rating 1 to 5, the halfway mark.
* 21 percent of Mass. Dems say McCain would do a better job handling the economy while 14 percent of Mass. Republicans say Obama would do a better job.
* 29 percent of Mass. Dems say McCain would do a better job handling the situation in Iraq while 15 percent of Mass. Republicans say Obama would do a better job.
* 38 percent of Mass. Dems say McCain would do a better job handling terrorism compared to 10 percent of Mass. Republicans saying Obama would do a better job.
It would be interesting to see how many Mass. Dems are going to crossover and vote for McCain as well as juxtaposing those numbers with the Republicans who will be voting for Obama. Granted, there aren't a lot of Republicans in Massachusetts so who knows. But these three core issues could easily make someone wonder about where the election is headed.
Unfortunately, SurveyUSA doesn't have any New Hampshire numbers. :-(
