CBS Poll: Obama Leads, But..., CBS/NY Times Poll: Obama Bests Clinton By Eight Points Among Democrats, But Clinton Fares Better In Head-To-Head With McCain - CBS News

I guess the theory that dem voters would not take seriously Obama "scandals" is now debunked.

They appeared on the Today Show this AM and lacked credibility in my estimation. Explaining, defending the remarks made in SF and Rev Wright's impact.

I missed it with the morning coffee....seriously, who cares, we need a candidate who wants to discuss the issues, like the Economy. Until that pastor signs a government check or can veto a bill, I honestly think he's like any other nut who tells me the sun is already gone cuz it's last rays are reaching us and we're billions of miles away and we don't know it yet.

HillBillies aren't going to let something as tiny as mathematics and facts screw up their arguments.

Selective KEY statistics

Quote:
Today, 48 percent of Democratic primary voters think Obama has the best chance of defeating McCain in November, down 8 points from a month ago. Thirty-seven percent say Clinton is more likely to beat McCain.
Quote:
But a smaller percentage of Democratic primary voters now see Obama, who has been on the defensive following revelations of his controversial former pastor's statements and his leaked comments that some voters had become "bitter," as their party's likely nominee. Fifty-one percent now say they expect Obama to win the nomination, down from 69 percent on April 3rd, while thirty-four percent now expect Clinton to be the nominee, up from 21 percent a month ago.
Quote:
In a head-to-head match-up with McCain, Clinton fared better than her rival: The New York senator led McCain 48 percent to 43 percent among all registered voters, while Obama and McCain were tied at 45 percent
Quote:
Thirty-five percent of Clinton voters say they would vote for McCain in the fall if Obama is the Democratic nominee. Twenty-three percent of Obama supporters say they would crossover if Clinton heads the ticket.

By contrast, more than eight in ten voters who call themselves Republicans say they will vote for McCain in November over either Obama or Clinton.

Quote:
McCain leads Obama 47 percent to 44 percent among all female registered voters. That marks a 16 point swing from a month ago, when Obama led McCain 51 percent to 38 percent among the group. Among white women, McCain has extended his edge over Obama from four points to seventeen. He leads Obama 55 percent to 38 percent among the group.
Quote:
Obama's unfavorable rating has risen over the past month. On April 3rd, he was viewed favorably by 43 percent of registered voters and unfavorably by 24 percent. Now he is viewed favorably by 39 percent and unfavorably by 34 percent - a ten point increase in unfavorable rating.
Quote:
McCain is viewed as the best of the three candidates on handling an international crisis - 53 percent of registered voters say they have confidence in him to do so, versus 39 percent for Obama. He is also seen as the most patriotic, with 92 percent identifying him as such. Eight-seven percent of registered voters said the same of Clinton, and just 75 percent said Obama is patriotic

Scoreboard

Super Delegates

Clinton-260
Obama-244

lead down to 16 was over 100

Overall delegate count

Obama-1734
Clinton-1596

A difference of 138. For all the controversy over Wright, Obama's delegate lead has actually increased.

Mrs. Obama can't sign a bill and neither can Mr. Clinton.
I want to know about the Economy. I can care less about the silly matters that most people use or are swayed by as a distraction.

Politicians wives and pastors, are people and people have their own voices and opinions. And that's just what they are.

I care much more about the "process" that the person who ultimately has to make the decision goes through. With this in mind Barack tends to think, and surround himself in policy making situations with absolute experts. He could go to a buddist priest for salvation and if that's where he finds God then good for him.

I want to know about the Economy.

I've read the candidates plans as well as looked at proponents and opponents of each in equal measure, anything else is sideshow and for those easily entertained and prone to superficial reliance on rumormill data.
