Amazing. The NYT doesn't like McCain? I can't believe it. Me neither, I'm shocked.

Trust on Issues Voters Now Trust Democrats More on All Ten Key Electoral Issues Monday, October 06, 2008 Voters now trust Democrats more than Republicans on all ten key electoral issues tracked by Rasmussen Reports. The latest national telephone survey found that the Democrats have taken the largest advantage over the GOP on the economy since early June. Over half of voters (51%) trust Democrats more on economic issues, while 38% trust the GOP more. Investors are slightly more divided than non-investors between the parties. Investors trust Democrats more on the economy by a 47% to 42% margin, while non-investors favor the Democrats by a 62% to 29% margin. The economy is considered a very important issue by 80% of voters, up just one percentage point from last month. The survey was conducted the day after Congress passed the federal bailout bill, which was opposed by 45% of voters on Thursday. The Democrats have pulled ahead of the GOP on national security, an issue John McCain’s party usually holds the advantage on. The Democrats now have a three-point edge on the issue, which is considered very important by 64% of voters. Another issue that has shifted to the Democrats this month, taxes, is considered a very important issue to 57% of voters. The Democrats now hold a 47% to 42% edge on this issue. The parties are closest on the issue of immigration, with the Democrats holding a modest 40% to 38% edge. Though immigration was a hot topic early in the election, just 41% of voters now consider it to be a very important electoral issue. That is the lowest percentage found since regular tracking began in August of last year. When it comes to the War in Iraq, voters trust the Democrats more by a 47% to 42% margin. Last month, it was the GOP who held a four percentage point lead on this issue, which is very important to 55% of Likely Voters. The Democrats hold double-digit leads on government ethics and corruption, healthcare, social security and education. They also hold a nine-point advantage on the issue of abortion. While McCain has faired better than his party in terms of earning trust from voters, he now trails Barack Obama on the majority of issues tracked by Rasmussen Reports.
