Good news from an AP poll just out...Obama up 10 nationally. But the write-up is worth a read.
THE RACE: The presidential race for Democrats nationally
_
THE NUMBERS
Barack Obama, 49 percent
Hillary Rodham Clinton, 39 percent
The write-up is guaranteed to send Clinton supporters into raging fits of outrage. I laughed at this:
OF INTEREST:
The two rivals' standings in the Pew Research Center poll have changed little from late February, the latest indication that so far Obama has weathered the controversy over provocative sermons by his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. While Obama has a mostly favorable image among white Democrats, those with unfavorable views about him are likelier to say equal rights for minorities have gone too far and to oppose interracial dating. Almost one in four white Democrats who view Obama unfavorably also think he is Muslim, when in fact he is Christian. Obama and Clinton both continue to hold slender leads nationally in matchups against the all-but-certain Republican candidate, John McCain.
Seriously? "Equal Rights for Minorities have gone too far"? "Oppose Interracial Dating"? What is the AP really trying to say?
