Europe prepares for Obamania
US presidential front-runner Barack Obama will tour Europe and the Middle East next week, making much anticipated stops in Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Berlin, Paris and London. His exact itinerary has been kept a secret for security reasons, but his campaign says he will be in Amman, Jordan on Monday; Tuesday and Wednesday in Israel and the West Bank; Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Europe; and somewhere in all this, fact-finding missions to Iraq and Afghanistan. He will be accompanied to the war zones by two US Senate colleagues, Democrat Jack Reed and Republican Chuck Hagel, an outspoken critic of president George W Bush and the Iraq War.
Quinnipiac University Poll, conducted from July 8 to July13, 2008, showed Obama leading McCain by 9% points – 50% to 41% among the registered voters nationally. Reuters/Zogby Poll, conducted from July 9 to July13, 2008, showed Obama leading McCain by 7% points – 47% to 40% among the registered voters nationally.
