CBS-NYT Sez: Obama Stilll Up

Obama (D) 48%
McCain (R) 43%

Here are the new CBS-New York Times numbers. McCain gains slightly among Independents, but Obama gains slightly among Democrats and Republicans. They cancel each other out, so the final numbers are unchanged and Obama remains +5.

McCain holds an edge on most national security issues, but his numbers on Iraq are slipping. Meanwhile, Obama continues to gain on the economy. Overall, Obama is more trusted to make change happen while McCain still looks like a third Bush term.

Overall, the CBS-NYT numbers still look good for Obama.
