The Number That Explains It All

From yesterday's CBS/NYT poll:

Many voters call themselves middle class, and more believe Obama would favor the middle class. McCain is still believed to be in favor of the rich.

POLICIES WOULD FAVOR WHICH CLASS?

	(Among  registered  voters)
	                 Obama	                     McCain
Rich                   8%	                         59%
Middle  class	  38                           	11
Poor	          22	                                 3
Treat all same 24	                               21

Fifty-nine percent of registered voters think McCain's economics would favor the wealthy; just 11 percent the middle class. Far more than being a "center-right" country, this is a middle class country, and a candidate who fails to speak to the concerns of the middle class does so at his own peril.
