The Polls and Democrats
Two polls with somewhat similar results yesterday.
If McCain vs. Obama, 28% of Clinton Backers Go for McCain
Which I think goes to show that if you keep telling your supporters that McCain is better than Obama, they'll start to believe you, and that's something Hillary has done repeatedly.
The second poll give a bit more context, showing Hillary's negatives rising to ever higher levels, and this tidbit about who might be able to heal the party:
Because among Obama voters, Clinton has a net-negative personal rating (35-43) while Clinton voters have a net-positive view of Obama (50-29). Taken together, this appears to be evidence that Obama, intially, should have the easier time uniting the party than Clinton.
Most Obama voters are willing to hold their nose and vote for Clinton if they have to in order to avoid a McCain presidency. It probably helps that Obama doesn't run around telling everyone how much better McCain is than Hillary. But his supporters, listening to the underhanded tactics Clinton is using to attack him, are really growing to hate her. With this latest attack over Wright, I'd expect that to grow even worse.
