  • Come on. ... Uses Barak against himself. Anyone could string together some flubs to make it sound incriminating. Sure he won't disavow Rev. Jeremiah Wright, does that make Barak a racist? I'd be more concerned if Barak jettisoned the Rev. because it would would show how easily Barak would abandoned someone close to him just to get elected. To do so is pure opportunistic politics of the ilk that's gotten our country's political system where it is today. I don't support those status quo politics.

    Most voters, 56%, said Wright’s comments made them less likely to vote for Obama. That figure includes 44% of Democrats. Just 11% of voters say they are more likely to vote for Obama because of Wright’s comments.

    However, among African-Americans, 29% said Wright’s comments made them more likely to support Obama. Just 18% said the opposite while 50% said Wright’s comments would have no impact.

    Overall, voters are evenly divided as to whether Obama should resign his membership in the Church—42% say that he should while 40% disagree. White voters, by a 46% to 33% margin, say that Obama should leave the Church. African-American voters, by a 68% to 16% margin, say he should not. Wright retired last month as Pastor of the Church.

    The story became big news in the past several days and has had at least a temporary impact on public perceptions of Obama. Last Thursday, 52% of voters nationwide had a favorable opinion of Obama. That figure has fallen to 47% on Monday (see recent daily results). In recent days, Obama has also lost ground to John McCain in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

    Sixty-six percent (66%) of voters say they have read, seen, or heard news stories about Wright’s comments.
