John McCain attacks helped him gain against rival

Republican presidential hopeful Senator John McCain got benefits from the attacks he made on his rival democratic senator Barack Obama. About 17% of the voters in America feel that they are not at ease selecting a black as their president.

McCain has his disadvantages as people feel that the economic issues will not be solved efficiently by McCain. Obama has support of 45% to 43% in Arizona and a drop in support is visible in the latest polls.
