Thread Name: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
"...The question is this: Have white Democrats soured on Obama? Apparently not. Although his unfavorable rating from the group is up five percentage points since last summer in polls conducted by The New York Times and CBS News, his favorable rating is up just as much.

On the other hand, black DemocratsÕ opinion of Hillary Clinton has deteriorated substantially (her favorable rating among them is down 36 percentage points over the same period).

While a favorable opinion doesnÕt necessarily translate into a vote, this should still give the Clintons (and the superdelegates) pause. Electability cuts both ways."
