I heard there was a new Gallup poll out today. I heard it on Countdown when Keith was talking about how silly it was that Hillary was saying that Barack is unelectable. So i decided to cruise overthere and see exactly what the poll had.....
More below the fold...
Well so i went to Gallup and finally found the poll Keith was talking about. Here it is the poll that asked Democrats and Republicans who the would "LEAST" like to see elected. It is called "Presidential Candidates’ Weaknesses in Depth" and is a really good read.
When Americans are asked which of the leading candidates left in the race for president they least want to see elected president this year, 40% name John McCain, 36% Hillary Clinton, and 20% Barack Obama.
That in itself is not the shocker. The shocker is the numbers that damn the Clinton supporter Ickes' (spelling?) Jerimiah Wright argument. First let me say, with insane laughter, that it is incredible to me that somewhere somehow there are still 12% of 234 people that belive that Obama is a Muslim. That is approximatly 27 people that were surveyed that still buy into that crap. The sad thing is that it proves to me that there are a lot of ignorant people out there. Okay now back to the details.
Shockingly the Wright issue was way down at #5th reason with 8% on the poll of why people did not like Barack. It was trumped by experience, do not trust him, muslim, and disagree with his views. We know that the experience and trust we can work on but the rest of the stuff seems to be people who are obviously just too dumb to even try and change. Now to the good stuff.
Amoung democrats and democrat leaners 71% do not like McCain, 16% Clinton and a paltry 9% of Dems do not like Barack. I find this the most damning evidence against Clinton. Her argument is put to sleep with this one poll. Well in my humble opinion it makes it hard to claim you are more electable when more people LEAST want YOU as President of the U.S. of A. Even better, is the Republican answers. Heck 60% of Republicans do not want Hillary. That is insane! only 34% said they least wanted Barack.
Anyway i have droned on to the point i feel i will lose your attention if i continue on. if you want to check out the poll for yourself here is the hardlink for you copy pasters.
