Democrat Barack Obama holds a two-to-one lead over Republican John McCain among low-wage workers but many are uncommitted to either presidential candidate, to according to a new poll by The Washington Post, the Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University.
Obama’s advantage is due largely to overwhelming support from African Americans and Hispanics, but even among white voters, the Illinois senator leads McCain 47 percent to 37 percent, The Washington Post reported in Monday editions.
The poll found that one in six white workers polled remains uncommitted to either candidate, the Post reported.
Most of the respondents were pessimistic about the impact of the November 4 election. A majority of those polled, both white and minority, said that no matter who won their personal financial situation would be unlikely to change, it said.
Apparently low wage workers are the only ones that see what is what in this election process. They are most likely correct that the only people that will benefit, no matter who wins, is the wealthy.
