Barack
Obama may be the fresh face in this year's US presidential election, but
nearly half say they're already tired of hearing about him, a poll says.
With
Election Day still three months away, 48 percent said they're hearing too much
about the Democratic candidate, according to a poll released Wednesday by the
nonpartisan PewResearchCenter.
Just 26 percent said the same about his Republican rival, John McCain.
Obama,
the 47-year-old Illinois senator
who might become the first black US president, has dominated
political news coverage much of the year. According to an ongoing Pew study,
Obama has appeared in more news stories this year and more people say they have
heard more about him than McCain, the longtime Arizona senator who also ran for president
in 2000.
Two-thirds
of Republicans and about half of independents said they've heard too much about
Obama, as did a third of Democrats, a significant number.
At
the same time, nearly four in 10 said they've been hearing too little about
McCain -- about four times the number who said so about Obama. The poll
was conducted from Aug. 1-4 and involved telephone interviews with 1,004
adults. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage
points.
Another poll
by CNN and Opinion Research Corp. found that more registered voters thought
electing Obama is riskier compared to McCain.
According to the poll released Wednesday, 57 percent of the 914 interviewed
said that the Democratic presidential candidate would be a risky choice,
compared to 54 percent having the same feeling about his Republican
presidential rival.
A total 31 percent agreed that Obama could be a "very risky" choice
while only 21 percent said the same of McCain, the poll showed.
But when asked which candidate would be "somewhat risky," 33 percent
chose McCain, while 26 percent named Obama, it added.
According to the CNN's "poll of polls" released on Tuesday, Obama
maintained a 5-percentage-point lead over McCain, at 48 percent to 43 percent,
but there was still 9 percent undecided.
