Kenneth, 60% is failing. Not an accomplishment. Pelosi is not a good leader.

Hofstra poll: McCain leads suburban voteBY KARLA SCHUSTER \| karla.schuster@newsday.com 12:16 PM EDT, September 29, 2008 newsday.com Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain holds a slight edge over Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama among suburban voters, according to a new poll sponsored by Hofstra University to be released Monday. The nationwide poll, conducted for Hofstra's National Center for Suburban Studies, found that 48 percent of suburban voters said they support McCain, compared to 42 percent for Obama. By comparison, the poll found that McCain leads Obama among rural voters, 51 percent to 35 percent, while Obama is ahead in urban areas, 57 percent to 34 percent. The results of the poll are scheduled to be released at 1 p.m. Monday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. "Suburban voters have decided victors in not only the last five presidential contests, but control of Congress and state houses," said Lawrence Levy, director of the National Center for Suburban Studies. The poll also revealed a significant gender gap in McCain's support among suburban voters -- suburban men favor him over Obama by a margin of 51 percent to 40 percent, while suburban women are evenly split, with both men drawing 45 percent. The telephone survey of 1,033 suburban residents and 493 urban and rural residents was conducted from Sept. 15-21. The total margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points; for suburban residents it was plus or minus 4 percentage points. Regardless of geographic area, all those surveyed ranked the economy as the issue they want to hear candidates talk about more than any other. Almost half of suburban voters -- 46 percent -- said it was their No. 1 concern, compared to just 9 percent who ranked the war in Iraq that way.
