Obama stalls in public polling

[red states rule]

What is happening to the messiah? He is stuck in the polls, and is not sealing the deal

Could it be his arrogance is showing thru? His constant flip flops? Calling people who disagree with him ignorant?


Obama stalls in public polling
By DAVID PAUL KUHN | 8/6/08 4:48 AM EST


In the two months since Barack Obama captured the Democratic nomination, he has hit a ceiling in public opinion, proving unable to make significant gains with any segment of the national electorate.

While Obama still leads in most matchups with John McCain, the Illinois senator’s apparent stall in the polls is a sobering reminder to Democrats intoxicated with his campaign’s promises to expand the electoral map beyond the boundaries that have constrained other recent party nominees.

That gap between expectations and reality comes as Democrats enjoy the most favorable political winds since at least 1976. At least eight in ten Americans believe the nation is on the wrong track. The Republican president is historically unpopular. From stunning Democratic gains in party registration to the high levels of economic anxiety, Obama by most every measure should have a healthy lead. Yet in poll after poll, Obama conspicuously fails to cross the 50-percent threshold.

Or as ABC News polling director Gary Langer asked, “If everything is so good for Barack Obama, why isn’t everything so good for Barack Obama?”

Why do you think the messiah is playing the race card, and now calling people who disagree with his tire inflation program ignorant?
