. The poll suggests that few of the McCain campaign's criticisms of Obama's trip have stuck, especially charges Obama was presumptuously acting as if he had already won the election and claims that he nixed a visit with injured troops because members of the media could not accompany him.
Instead, more than two-thirds of voters surveyed said the trip was appropriate for a presidential candidate, and 72 percent said they think Obama cares about veterans and the troops in Iraq.
A third of voters polled said they believe that Obama is arrogant, about the same number who said that of McCain. That result comes the same day the McCain campaign released a hard-hitting ad that declares Obama is the "biggest celebrity in the world."
"There is some danger for McCain in making these charges. Forty percent say he is attacking Obama unfairly, while only 22 percent say Obama is unfairly attacking McCain," Holland said. "Nonetheless, both men have very high favorable ratings."
McCain falls behind Obama in every single economic and domestic issue tested by the poll, especially when it comes to jobs and health care. Obama polls ahead in both those categories by double-digit margins.
McCain, who has pledged to extend President Bush's tax cuts despite his initial opposition to them in the Senate, trails Obama in that category by 6 points.
The Arizona senator also polls lower on the issue of high gas prices, a problem McCain has repeatedly said he's better able to alleviate than Obama.
