50% of Voters Believe Ayers Issue Has Hurt McCain Campaign (poll, statistics, president)

[blacknight04]

Just 28% of voters believe that John McCain’s campaign has been helped by talking about the relationship between Barack Obama and William Ayers. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 50% believe talk of that issue has hurt McCain’s effort while 15% say it has had no impact.

The right wingers were so sure that this would be the downfall of Obama. Looks like it backfired big time.

I think Palin's "palling around with terrorists" comment helped the public reject the attack on Obama. Her poll numbers we're already tanking and she was seen as not credible.
