According to
Harris Interactive, in a four-way race, Barack Obama leads
John McCain among registered voters 44% to 35%, while Bob
Barr, the Libertarian candidate, and Ralph Nader each
receive 2%. Sixteen percent of registered voters are
not sure whom they will vote for yet.
Among gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgender adults, 60% favor Obama,
while 14% favor McCain. Three percent of GLBT adults favor
Barr, while 1% choose Nader. Six percent choose
"other," while 17% of all GLBT voters
are not yet sure which candidate to support -- comparable to
the percentage of undecided voters in the general
population.
Among
independents, Obama has a 12-point lead (38% to 26%), but
one quarter of independents (25%) are not sure; 4%
would vote for Bob Barr, and 3% for Ralph Nader.
The findings also
show that 90% of African-Americans are voting for
Obama, as are six in ten Hispanics. Whites, however, are
leaning toward McCain over Senator Obama (40% versus
34%).
The results of
this Harris Poll were compiled from 2,690 U.S. adults
surveyed online by Harris Interactive July 3-11.
