Mar 21st CBS Poll: Good Reviews For Obama Speech

[PerfectSage]

(CBS) Sen. Barack Obama's speech on race this week, in which he discussed his relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his controversial longtime minister, has received largely positive reviews, according to a new CBS News poll.

But the percentage of voters who think Obama would unite the country as president has dropped since late February.

Sixty-nine percent of voters who have heard or read about Obama’s speech say he did a good job addressing the issue of race relations, and 63 percent of voters following the events say they agree with Obama's views on race relations. Seventy-one percent say he did a good job explaining his relationship with Wright.

When registered voters were asked if Obama would unite the country, however, 52 percent said yes - down from 67 percent last month.

Obama's favorable rating, which stands at 43 percent, continues to outweigh his unfavorable rating of 30 percent.

2. Too late.

He could have passed $100 bills and will not erase the memory of 20 years sitting under the good Pastor. Too late, too mcuh fodder for the GE.

3. How's that? Are we fools who are supposed to have forgotten that this already happened?

AND

By then, the good pastor's story will be out. Wait till other religious leaders like Jim Wallis, etc.... testify for this man.

Plus,
It is amazing how you keep believing that Hillary can even win this nomination when it is all but over for her. I'm amazed at your smugness, considering.

4. Too bad it's fodder under the bridge.

GObama!
Go Dean's 50 State Strategy!
Go Grassroots!

5. Wright is a better person than any of us.

Do a bit more research than MSM sound bites and it is fairly easy to see, for anyone who has a valid reason to be here. Know the person before you join is the "throw him under the bus" gang. Wellstone was hero too, btw, and would have been on Wright's side.

7. You mean the pastor that got three Presidential Commendations

holds four degrees and built the biggest congregation on the south side?

Ask the Clintons about the pastor. :hi:

6. 69 percent is an incredibly high number.

I'm pleasantly amazed!
