BOSTON, Sept 15, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- With just 51 days remaining in the 2008 Presidential campaign, the Republican ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin holds a 4-point lead in the key state of Ohio, according to a poll released today by Suffolk University. McCain-Palin led the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama-Joe Biden 46 percent to 42 percent.
More respondents identify with Sarah Palin than with the other candidates. Asked which of the four candidates is "most like you," 31 percent said Palin, followed by Obama (22 percent), McCain (21 percent), and Biden (13 percent). In addition, 38 percent of respondents felt Palin has been treated harshly by the media, while 23 percent said she has been treated fairly. Among the self- described independent voters of Ohio, 42 percent said Palin was treated harshly, while 6 percent indicated fairly.

Only 31% think Obama is going to lower their taxes .....
Not surprisingly...
More good news! I like the numbers showing the indies heavily think Palin is being treated harshly by the media.
Hence all the “McCain is lying” Democrat talking points this weekend.
If a “University” poll has McCain up by 4 that means he is up by 7.
