Even voters who are planning to vote for Mr. McCain say their enthusiasm has waned. In New York Times and CBS News polls conducted with the same respondents before the first presidential debate and again after the last debate, Mr. McCain made no progress in appealing to voters on a personal level, and he and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, had alienated some voters.
Personal appeal is an intangible element in voters’ decisions. Each voter has a personal reason for connecting with a candidate or not. But the percentage of those who hold a favorable opinion of Mr. Obama is up 10 points since last month. Opinion of Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Mr. Obama’s running mate, is also up, to 50 percent last weekend from 36 percent in September.
In contrast, favorable opinion of Mr. McCain remained stable, and unfavorable opinion rose to 45 percent now from 35 percent in September. Mrs. Palin’s negatives are up, to 41 percent now from 29 percent in September.
Mr. Obama’s favorability is the highest for a presidential candidate running for a first term in the last 28 years of Times/CBS polls. Mrs. Palin’s negative rating is the highest for a vice-presidential candidate as measured by The Times and CBS News. Even Dan Quayle, with whom Mrs. Palin is often compared because of her age and inexperience on the national scene, was not viewed as negatively in the 1988 campaign. - LinuxLars, on 10/21/2008, -0/+13The good news is that I hope America has had enough of the negative campaign smears. As McCain himself said early in the race, paraphrasing, that if all you have is negative attack ads, you don't have much to offer.
- scottknick, on 10/21/2008, -0/+5With luck, the Obama landslide will be so large that it will totally discredit the theory that if you're behind in the polls, you've got nothing to lose by trying to drive up your opponent's negatives. It didn't work for Hillary, and it's not working for McCain.
- apastafarian, on 10/21/2008, -0/+5The great news is Palin's negatives. The thought of her coming out of this a rising party star, running in 2012 or beyond and getting the nomination is an almost inconceivable horror.
- redcolumbine, on 10/21/2008, -0/+4Obama will need a record landslide to overcome Republican vote fraud. From "malfunctioning" voting machines to voter misdirection and scare tactics, the GOP is pulling out all the stops to keep Democrats away from the polls, invalidate their votes, and rig the counts.

- samimnot, on 10/21/2008, -0/+3Dan Quayle must have a big smile on his face :-) these days...
Thanks to the GOP / Rove selecting GWB and now Palin....Dan seems almost intelligent, in comparison. - mikbunn, on 10/21/2008, -0/+2You're not excited about a Palin/the Plumber '12 ticket?
- dinot, on 10/21/2008, -0/+2For those of you wondering why this is happening, it's because of stuff like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGraCrU_mR8
- TruthExposed, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1Check their voting records, they do vote alike more often than not.
Both support the existing extraordinarily complex progressive income tax plan, each with some minor but unique tinkering.
Both support both wars, again with minor tinkering.
Both seem to be bailout thugs.
Both are big government spenders.
Both have virtually identical stem cell research positions.
Both support cash rewards taken by force from the US public paid to homeowners that can’t pay for their mortgage.
Both are for social programs.
Both believe in the pending CO2 holocaust.
Both support government funded health care – McCain via the tax code and Obama via direct benefit.
Both are pro death penalty.
Both will continue (at best), and likely increase the inflation tax.
Both support the reinstatement of freedom papers (AKA national ID Card). They believe this injustice should hamper the freedom of all people, not just former slaves.
Both have neglected to say what they think the police should do to any citizen caught without his national ID card.
Both support similar immigration reform plans.
Both will continue to spend the USA into oblivion.

If you want business as has been for the last 8 years, vote for a Senator, it doesn’t matter which one - samimnot, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1Very cool :-) that was a great link, thanks...
- inactive, on 10/21/2008, -1/+2First we need to get Obama into the White House, then we need to set out to abolish the 22nd Amendment in order to remove term limits on the President.
Obama/Biden in '16, '20, '24. - DangerCollie, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1Palin is an anchor dragging the campaign down but McCain also helped by shooting himself in the foot so many times. And the slavish adherence to talking points the campaign puts out is just nauseating. You can't have a discussion with someone who's always trying to beat you over the head with talking points.
I don't think the Republicans have figured out Rovian politics aren't working anymore. - rootn4obaman08, on 10/24/2008, -0/+0Of course Obama is viewed favorably. He comes across as one cool dude! LOL. McCain/Palin come across as angry and mean.
- MediaWeasel, on 10/21/2008, -1/+1Are you nuts??? lol Obama and McCain basically the same? Go wash out your mouth with soap young man.
Seriously - go read Obama's two books if you haven't already. Obama is as similar to McCain as a bar of gold is similar to a clump of soil. - TruthExposed, on 10/21/2008, -5/+1What does this matter? McCain and Obama are basically the same. They even vote alike more often than not.
I think this election will go to the establishment/business as usual candidate.
