Meh. It's still too far from November for polls to be TOO accurate. I'm sure his numbers will go up once he starts campaigning at home, once he starts going to the people, names his VP, appears in a debate or two. It's summer. People have their minds elsewhere.
Ditto.
I agree that the numbers make no sense, though. How can the current administration have such a low approval rating, but the the guy who promises to continue its policies be so high in the polls?
Because the race isn't Obama/McCain, but "Obama or Not?" Consider that recent poll where over 60% of McCain's supporters say they support him because he's "lesser of the evils."
Which worked for Kerry in 2004, btw.
