CBS Poll: Support For Obama Rebounds, O 50 - C 38

In Wake Of Controversy Over Former Pastor, Illinois Senator Builds Lead Over McCain, Clinton

(CBS) Democrat Barack Obama appears to have rebounded from some of the damage caused by the controversy surrounding his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.

On one key measure, Obama has seen a big reversal since his denunciation of Wright’s remarks on Tuesday. He now leads presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in the hypothetical fall contest by eleven points, 51 percent to 40 percent. That compares to a tied match-up in a CBS News/New York Times poll that was released last Wednesday.

Positive assessments of how Obama has handled the situation with Wright are also reflected by a continued lead over fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton in his battle for their party’s nomination. Among Democratic primary voters (those who have voted or plan to vote in a Democratic primary) Obama’s lead over Clinton has increased -- he now leads Clinton by twelve points, 50 percent to 38 percent. That’s up from his eight point lead in the poll released just a few days ago.

Despite Wright and all Hillary can throw at him, Obama strands tall.
This man will not be swiftboated.
Americans know Honesty when they see it.

3. I received my "BACKORDERED"....

obama bumper stickers yesterday...guess I need to get in line for the yard signs. I will be canvassing this summer and fall for the man. Funny how you can't even get the stuff right now.

4. I got mine from a neighbor a few units over.

He saw the Obama 2008 sign in my window and brought me a few stickers. That was nice. :)

I think my whole condo complex is for Obama. Long after Super Tuesday, all the Obama signs are still proudly displayed. There are no other signs at all.

12. I am not noticing many for either here in NE Ohio....

but it is early still, lets keep this kind of stuff updated....thanks for the reply.

(In '04 I used to count signs everyday on my travels for work...Kerry won the sign battle and the election, until they stole it.)

5. I don't wanna say "I told u so".. But

This is pretty much what I have been saying on DU for the last 2 days. That the non-stop Wright coverage will help Obama more than it hurts him. Now if he goes ahead and does very well in NC and holds IN close then watch this graph take off.
