Obama Leads McCain in WI by 10
A new poll shows Barack Obama with his biggest lead in Wisconsin since July.
The WISC-TV poll of likely voters shows Obama with a 10-point lead over John McCain. The poll done by Research 2000 on Sunday and Monday showed Obama with 51 percent and McCain with 41 percent.
The last time Obama had a lead that large was in July when he was up by 11 percentage points.
The newest poll was done in the wake of turmoil on Wall Street and the passage of a $700 billion emergency economic bailout bill in Congress.
A majority of survey respondents, 57 percent, say they think Obama is better able to handle the economy than McCain.
The new poll shows only 4 percent of the 600 people polled were undecided. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
