Obama casts McCain as rich, out of touch
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama Thursday depicted John McCain as rich, out of touch and less a foreign-policy expert than he claims—part of the increasingly negative tone of the presidential hopeful's message as he tries to fight the perception that his campaign has stalled.
Two national polls released Thursday showed McCain has drawn almost even with Obama in the last few weeks, thanks to an aggressive new tone and a series of negative campaign commercials painting Obama as a tax raiser who is ill-prepared to lead in a dangerous world. That, in turn, has prompted Obama to step up his rhetoric against McCain.
Both an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll and a CBS News/New York Times survey found Obama leading McCain by just three percentage points, 45 to 42 percent.
