Here's yet another piece of evidence that John McCain has really fumbled in his reactions to the economic crisis: By a more than 2-1 margin, registered voters in the new
Pew poll say he's done a bad job explaining how he would handle it.
Do you think (candidate) has done an excellent, good, only fair, or poor job of explaining how he would handle the current problems with financial institutions and markets?
Obama: Excellent/Good 48%, Fair/Poor 47%
McCain: Excellent/Good 29%, Fair/Poor 67%
The poll also shows that registered voters trust Obama over McCain to handle the crisis by 47%-33%. In the overall horse race, Obama leads 50%-40% among likely voters.
This would all suggest that if McCain's pseudo-suspension was in any way meant to create the impression that he was up to handling the economy, it clearly didn't work.
