Obama hurt by furor over ex pastor: polls

[DemGa]

Some pretty serious shifts!

According to a New York Times/CBS News poll, 51 percent of Democratic voters now say they expect Obama to win their party's nomination. That's an 18 point-slide from a month ago when 69 percent said they expected Obama to take on Republican John McCain in the November presidential election.

The latest survey found that 48 percent of Democrats believe Obama, an Illinois senator, has a better chance of beating McCain than Clinton, a New York senator, versus 56 percent a month ago.

On the background/values question, Obama's score fell among small-town/rural voters from 46 percent support to 31 percent. Among elderly voters, Obama dropped from 52 percent identifying with his values to 36 percent.

1. Why did you leave out the part about

Obama leading Clinton 46 percent to 38 percent? An increase from 3% to 8% since the last poll taken by NYT/CBS. Cherry picking polls to make your candidate look better perhaps?
