56% Disagree with Obama’s Comments on Small Town America Monday, April 14, 2008
Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide disagree with Barack Obama’s statement that people in small towns “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 25% agree with the Democratic frontrunner while 19% are not sure.
Partisan and ideological differences suggest that the comments are more likely to be a factor in the General Election than in the Primaries. A plurality of politically liberal voters—46%--agree with Obama’s statement while 33% disagree. Moderate voters take the opposite view and disagree by a 51% to 27% margin. Seventy-four percent (74%) of conservatives disagree with Obama’s statement, only 12% agree.
Democrats are fairly evenly divided—34% agree with Obama and 43% disagree. Generally, Obama supporters agree with him while Hillary Clinton’s supporters disagree.

I find it very depressing. Something I believe that has been true for quite a while. When we turn our backs on God, He will turn his back on us.
And the errors. There’ 12% of conservatives that agree ? Say whaaat ? Unless they’ve recently donated their brains, no conservative would agree with that.
Incase no one has noticed Obama supporters seem to all be elitists and look down upon anyone who doesn’t have a college degree and actually works for a living.
That's exactly what he's doing. We know his M.O. because he told us ----- he simply acts calm, no fast movements, and keeps a steady voice. Using that method he thinks he can talk his way out of anything, and probably will.
What a bizarre stereotype. I’ve visited the USA several times and found that the best welcome to be had was in the small towns. Even if they know nothing about Canada, as soon as they find out I’m a canuck they get insatiably curious. In the big cities OTOH they’re indifferent to strangers at best.
44% of Americans are as dumb as a pile of rocks?"
No, your first one’s right. Headline says 56% DISAGREE with Obama.
The Obama gaff is beginning to undermine their tendency to believe in impossible things (Hope delivered by the Federal Government, eg). But we still have a long fight against the buzzwords and the Old Media.
That’s it. Did they limit the poll to likely demoratic voters?

“They represent the portion of the population that are so self-absorbed they care little about anything outside of their own lives.”
I think you nailed it.
Only 25% agree, Even 1/2 of Dems.
You’re probably most correct here:
SnObama’s supporters are lying in an attempt to help him.
It’s not going to work, and he’s going to lose many of them, too.
