Obama unfavorables hit all-time high

While Obama supporters fall all over themselves extolling the campaign's "turnaround" following the Wright controversy (evidenced by a Gallup poll published today showing Obama up by three,) I'll just toss out a contrary poll from Scott Rasmussen that shows Hillary up by two -- a swing of three in her direction.

And that's not all.

On Saturday, Obama’s favorable ratings slipped a little further—46% favorable, 51% unfavorable. Before the Pastor Problem became big news, Obama was viewed favorably by 52%. One month ago, he was viewed favorably by 56%. McCain is viewed favorably by 54% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 43%. For Clinton, those numbers are 43% favorable, 54% unfavorable.

The last time he was even close to this territory was November 20, 2007 when his favorables were at 44%, his unfavorables at 50%, and not a whole lot of people knew much about him.

Obama may come out of this tailspin, but Andrew, to say that he has based off of one poll is a bit much, don'tcha think?

“evidenced by a Gallup poll published today showing Obama up by three,”

I was concerned for about 10 seconds ... then I found out that it was Obama v Clinton.

The fact is that Obama’s speech could be a hit with the liberals and a miss with everyone else, because he clung to the myths the liberals believe, while not answering in any way the concerns people not dyed-in-wool liberals have. Those concerns are not about Wright’s ‘racist’ statements, but the question of his *patriotism*. Wright doesnt believe in America, the churh Obama chose calls Africa the motherland, so where does Obama’s allegience really lie? What sort of America does Obama believe in?

It’s the Patriotism, Stupid!

Heck, I have it really bad. I'm a typical white grandmother. I'm supposed to freak out when I meet strangers.

[South40]

Did they factor his grandmother into this?

Those who are perched the highest have the longest distance to fall.

Cafe Press has a nice variety of “Typical White Person” t-shirts.

[armymarinemom]

This is going to make great street theater down the road.

“McCain is viewed favorably by 54%”

Any of them Conservative Republicans?

[LiberConservative]

“OsamaObama ain’t nuttin’ but a jive-ass wannabe anyhow. She-it.”

[c-b 1]

No they are part of the other 46%.

[Windcatcher]

"What do I know, I'm a Typical White Guy^tm..."

Yeah, I guess I should burn my shirt that says EΛΛAΣ on it. After all, I'm just a Typical White Guy^tm, too. I can't have any other identity beyond that.

[yield 2 the right]

NOT ME AT ALL, I WILL NEVER VOTE IF McCAIN IS THE (R) CANDIDATE!!!
NEVER, I SAY, NEVER!

[God luvs America]

bump....

[Jeff Head]

Sarge, we just need to keep hammering and getting out the word about:

The truth regarding Obama's and Trinity Church's Black Liberation Theology.

It is who Obama is and where his core beliefs have been formulated over the last 20 years.

...and it aint traditional, and it aint Christian.

[elmer fudd]

Nothing wrong with that shirt. Fraternities are as Typical White Guy as you can get.
