View Full Version : WSJ: Poll Signals Pastor Controversy Didn't Hurt Obama. More.
The Wall Street Journal -- Poll busts the "myth" that pastor controversy would cripple Obama's campaign:
"The racially charged debate over Barack Obama's relationship with his longtime pastor hasn't much changed his close contest against Hillary Clinton, or hurt him against Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. Democratic pollster Peter Hart, who conducts the Journal/NBC polls with Republican pollster Bill McInturff, called the latest poll a 'myth-buster' that showed the pastor controversy is 'not the beginning of the end for the Obama campaign.' ... The latest survey has the Democratic rivals in a dead heat, each with 45% support from registered Democratic voters. That is a slight improvement for Sen. Obama, though a statistically insignificant one, from the last Journal/NBC poll, two weeks ago, which had Sen. Clinton leading among Democratic voters, 47% to 43%."
Obama, Clinton still on track... (http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2008/03/whats-new-16.html)

Jesus . . .
Even Nanci Pelosi is telling the Clintons to take a hike.
All that is "on tract" is the Dumbocrat party proving once again they know better than anyone how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Damn, that must hurt!

Quoting the WSJ, huh?
Murdoch publications!
However, most polls show that 1 in 4 still say he needs to address race further.
I don't care about this as an "issue" per se, but it is making things look well for McCain!

There's good and bad in all. Only an extremist would not be able to see that. And God knows I wouldn't want to be an extremist. "Liberal" maybe, but extremist? Nahhh.
Heck I'm already starting to miss my Bushisms, and there's still 9 Months to go.:D
Get excited about this, LIBS.

Since the hate America crowd was likely giving Barry's pastor a standing O, it's surprising that Barry didn't gain in the DEM polls.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows John McCain leading Barack Obama 47% to 42%. He leads Hillary Clinton 49% to 40% (see recent daily results). Among unaffiliated voters, McCain is essentially even with Obama while holding a wide lead over Clinton. When matched against McCain, Clinton earns a bit more support than Obama from Democrats. Obama leads McCain among voters under 40 while McCain has the edge among those 40 and above. McCain leads Clinton among all age groups.
New state polling has been released today showing potentially competitive races in Washington, New Jersey, and Michigan. Over the weekend, new state polls were released for Wisconsin and Virginia (see summary of recent state-by-state results).
Among all voters nationwide, McCain is now viewed favorably by 53% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 44%. Obama’s reviews are 49% favorable and 49% unfavorable. For Clinton, those numbers are 43% favorable, 55% unfavorable (see recent daily results). Among unaffiliated voters, Obama is viewed favorably by 56%, McCain by 52%, and Clinton by 35%.
In the Electoral College, Democrats lead in states with 190 Electoral Votes while the GOP has the advantage in states with 189. When “leaners” are added, the Democrats lead 243 to 240. The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator showed two changes over the weekend--Wisconsin moving from Likely Democratic to Leans Democratic and New Hampshire moving from Leans Democratic to Toss-Up.
