With few Americans expressing a positive view of national conditions and President Bush�s approval rating reaching a new low (25%) in a Pew survey, the political environment favors the Democrats. Barack Obama holds a sizable 50% to 40% lead over John McCain, and a greater share of his supporters back him strongly. Moreover, the percentage of voters saying they have definitely decided not to vote for McCain has risen steadily, from 37% in early August to 45% in the current survey. Voters continue to express more confidence in Obama than in McCain to handle the financial crisis; 47% say Obama could best address the current problems while 33% choose McCain. Voters are especially critical of McCain�s performance in explaining how he would handle the crisis. Just 29% say he has done an excellent or good job in explaining his approach to the crisis while 67% say he has done only a fair or poor job. Obama�s ratings for explaining how he would handle the crisis are much better than McCain�s. Still, fewer than half (48%) say Obama has done an excellent or good job in this regard, while about as many (47%) say he has done only fair or poor.
