One quarter of all registered voters say Obama lacks patriotism, according to the poll. That breaks down to 10 percent of Democrats, 29 percent of Independents, and 40 percent of Republicans who say Obama lacks patriotism.

McCain, a former Navy pilot and prisoner of war during Vietnam, is viewed as being patriotic by 90 percent of all registered voters.

Interesting. Obama must have been getting the same results from his private polling, hence the speech yesterday.

Listening to Crowley, she found it hard to hide her amazement that McCain is virtually tied with Obama.

Sanrene didn't you post earlier that polls this far out mean nothing? Yet you continue to post them....why?

[nick is rulz]

they mean nothing when they show McCain losing. They are very valuable when they show the opposite, and by "opposite" I mean "not losing by much" or "dead heat"

But it's likely the issue will not have a significant impact this fall

You left that part out.

Btw, i would rather be in obama's position and have that 5 point lead in this poll.

Obama holds a narrow 5-point advantage among registered voters nationwide over the Arizona senator, 50 percent to 45 percent. That represents little change from a similar poll one month ago, when the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee held a 46-43 percent edge over McCain
