Nice Mike, nice!
Even assuming the maximum margin of error of 3.5% going totally in BHO’s favor, that’s still some devastating numbers for him, especially after the MSM has been giving him all sorts of favorable coverage during this to aid in his “shedding of Jeremiah Wright” as it were.
I wonder if anybody has shown these numbers to the DNC super-delegates? Maybe it would “change” their minds regarding who to hand the nomination to…
Not that I expect these numbers will shake the “hope” based faith of the BHO true believers.
It appears to be the conventional wisdom that superdelegates are more afraid of the black community deserting them in the fall, than they are fearful that white Democrats will go to McCain in key states like Ohio and Pennsylvania.
They are counting on blacks to be forgiving of Obama throwing Wright under the bus, even though Obama said “I can no more disown him [Wright] than I can disown the black community.”
It will be interesting to see what happens on Tuesday when Indiana and North Carolina vote. Obama is holding the black vote in NC, but losing the white vote, just as he did in Pennsylvania.
If Hillary manages to come within low single digits to Obama in North Carolina, things may get shakier for the superdelegates.
Is the bottom falling out for Barack Obama? It’s too early to say that, but there are some disturbing signs.
…
But what about the voters? Here there are some ominous signs. The latest Fox News poll, conducted after the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s appearance at the National Press Club, showed Obama’s favorable/unfavorables at 63 to 27 percent among Democrats, compared to Hillary Clinton’s 73 to 22 percent. Suddenly she’s not the only one with high negatives. And 36 percent of Democrats say they would be disinclined to vote for Obama because of his longtime relationship with his former pastor. There’s more bad news in The Pew Research Center poll of Democrats. Obama’s national lead among Democrats is down from 49 to 39 percent to a statistically insignificant 47 to 45 percent.
…
All the numbers in this deluge of numbers tell the same story. Not just liberal but also many conservative commentators said that Obama’s speech on race March 18, in response to ABC News’ broadcasting of excerpts from Wright’s sermons, had solved any problems he had with voters, or at least with Democratic voters. And it was hard to argue with that conclusion, at least as to Democrats. Obama’s loss in Pennsylvania April 22, in line with expectations, didn’t necessarily contradict that. The response to Obama’s repudiation April 29, in response to Wright’s remarks April 28, is clearly different.
One reason is that Obama now has taken two diametrically opposed stands on the minister whose church he attended for 20 years, who married him and his wife and baptized their children, whose sermon inspired the title of his 2006 book, “The Audacity of Hope.” On March 18, his response was: No, I cannot renounce my pastor. On April 29, his response was: Yes, I can.

Thanks Machiavelli.

Mike Mike Mike.
“the lying America hater” That’s more than a little over the top. LOTS of assumptions going on there.
I can’t believe there are people that would assume Obama hates America because of Wright’s comments.
Your shallowness is showing.
56% said Obama shares Wright’s views (America hater).
58% said Obama denounced Wright for political expediency.
Nothing at all over the top there.
As usual, Sky55110 you’re a parrot for Obama, the lying America hater!
Michael Barone may have found the answer to my question:
Mike you have not let me down…. calling Obama an America Hater…
YOU have proven your shallowness
Oh give your transparent shallowness a rest you parrot.
Maybe you should direct your remarks to the clear majorities in this and other polls which reflect the same sentiment!
Or don’t you think saying “God DAMN America” “US of KKK A” is hateful towards this nation?
And perhaps you believe that the US government invented AIDS to kill people of color and deliberately got them hooked on drugs?
Now go get yourself a cracker Polly!
