Gallup: 68% "Concerned" About McCain's Similarities with Bush

According to new numbers released by Gallup, one of the most respected polling firms in the country, more than two-thirds of Americans are "concerned" that John McCain will continue the policies of George W. Bush. Nearly half of those polled were "very concerned."

Two-thirds of independents, a key swing group, stated they were "concerned" that John McCain was "too similar" to George Bush. Nearly half, 47 percent, of all independents said they were "very concerned."

And why wouldn't they be concerned? John McCain is in lockstep with George Bush on tax cuts for the rich, an open-ended presence in Iraq, recycled Bush's healthcare plan, privatizing Social Security, and with nearly 8 in 10 Americans saying they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.
