Obama Enjoys Big Edge in Voter Trust on Medicare

Even after that limp first debate performance that wiped out the Democratic convention bounce and tightened the Presidential race across the board, President Obama enjoys a 15-point edge in voter trust on Medicare, clearly a central issue to the campaign and voter turnout on November 6.

This represents a six-point increase for Obama since the last poll, which was conducted in September, and almost certainly reflects VP Joltin’ Joe Biden’s aggressive debate with Paul Ryan and their heated exchanges on our favorite program (the poll was fielded October 10-13, after the VP debate).
