Title: Rasmussen Reports: Latest Poll Numbers

" Time now to check in with Scott Rasmussen and Rasmussen reports he has the latest results from this polling that were taken last week. But this week to get a feel of how America leaning on a number of things in the news and 100 also some good mister John McCain tell us about it."

" daily presidential tracking polls -- it's 540. We ask people who are undecided which where they're leaning. John McCain comes out on top 47%. Of the vote. Barack Obama 46%. Now statistically insignificant to have a one point lead. It is the first time McCain has been ahead in any measures and Barack Obama wrapped up the nomination and by the way John McCain is viewed favorably by 55%. Of Americans Barack Obama by 51%. A lot of good news for John McCain in the last couple of weeks."

" You know just a few weeks ago about Obama was leading in some polls by nine percentage points so. Those numbers have slowly eroded in May be some negative campaign as it has something to do with that. What have Europe people that you pulled set about the negative campaign ads."

" Well it's interesting first of all you mentioned that bounds and a couple of weeks ago Barack Obama gave that speech in Berlin he didn't get instant -- we showed him going up by six points but that disappear right away as soon as the they speech itself made from the news coverage. A what we've seen in the last couple of weeks have been some different sorts of bad 22% of those who heard about the ads say that John McCain's ad featuring. A Britney Spears and Paris Hilton was racist with 53%. So Barack Obama's comment about not looking like other presidents on the dollar bill was races so there has been some. Awareness of it by the way. Even though those ads were featured on the Internet 69%. Of voters -- seen news stories about."

" You also asked the question about race that they thought that race is playing a role in this in this election what do they have to say."

" Well we asked the number of questions about the role of race in the campaign and this is a very difficult area to poll because you're not sure you're getting reliable information. Overwhelmingly. Voters tell us they personally are willing to vote for an African American president for president only 8% say they're not. But they're not so sure about their peers in fact among senior citizen group most likely to vote only 49%. Are sure. That they're peers would be willing to vote for African American president."

" accidents and that. They have a lower opinion of their peers than themselves like cats now. Well thought so some thoughts on that don't give us some more truthful answer about their fears that will themselves but it is going to be an issue. This campaign unfolds. Because we have 94% of African Americans say they're going to vote for Barack Obama in majority of white voters are gonna vote for John McCain and so about how you look at it it is an issue. -- Scott thank you so much the second with a heavily next week. Look forward to it."
