Who would you rather hang out with at a Fourth of July barbecue: John McCain or Barack Obama?

If you said Obama, you're in the majority, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll released Wednesday.

Although many Americans still are deciding who should be president, 52 percent would rather grab a burger this weekend with Obama, compared with the 45 percent ready to chow down with McCain.

Men are about evenly divided between the two while women prefer Obama by 11 percentage points, the poll found. Whites prefer McCain, minorities Obama. Obama is a more popular guest with younger voters while McCain does best with the oldest.

The survey of 1,759 adults was conducted online, under the supervision of the AP polling unit, by Knowledge Networks from June 13 to 23 and had a margin of error of 2.3 percentage points.
