Yet another poll gets the numbers right (maybe) but skews the reasons for the numbers all to hell. The AP-Yahoo News Poll out today shows that former supporters of Hillary Clinton are pretty unlikely to vote for Barack Obama, and are unlikely in the same numbers they always have been.
Duh.
Barack Obama’s support from backers of Hillary Rodham Clinton is stuck smack where it was in June, a poll showed Tuesday, a stunning lack of progress that is weakening him with members of the Democratic Party in the close presidential race.
Though the poll finds that most former Clinton supporters never supported Obama based on his qualifications, and still don’t, the article goes on to break down the numbers with a sense of bewilderment I find puzzling. There is also the obligatory “it must be because he’s black and they’re stupid” implication:
As during her primary battle against Obama, Clinton supporters are likelier to be female, white, and less educated than those who did not back her.
Yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah…
Let me explain something to The Clueless Followers of the Obama Messiah Myth, and I promise to speak slowly and use simple little words.
Clinton recieved support from a large number of working class white people in the primaries.
Most of them were women.
Many of HRC’s supporters have always believed that Barack Obama sucks as a presidential candidate.
A lot of the people who supported Clinton still think Obama sucks.
The white ones are still white.
Most of the white ones are working class women.
Who needs a freaking poll? Especially when there are pictures and news stories? The Chicago Sun-Times says Obama is having trouble drawing crowds to venues, like the one in Green Bay, Wisconsin, that McCain recently sold out.
Just a week ago, John McCain and his vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin — who can bring out crowds the way Obama can — appeared in this same stadium, Resch Center, to a crowd of 10,000 fans. There were an uncharacteristic amount of empty orange seats for Obama’s rally.
ABC’s Jake Tapper provided the pictures. Note that not all of the people who stayed away were under-educated white women. Like the people who know a real presidential candidate when they see one, and will accept no imitations, those who didn’t show up to see Obama on what looks like a bright sunny day, come in all shapes colors and sizes.
Poll that.

Thanks, ea, we do what we can, ya know? BTW, I don’t think I’ve ever been positively compared to fruit before, I think I like it!
I know I can count on you for at least one laugh a day. You are better than an apple.
CD, isn’t “journalistic neme messing” now a felony in at least three states and the District of Columbia?
Besides, I always thought “neme” was a contraction of “nonsense theme.”
Yes, I find these polls laughable. They aren’t going to ask the “real” reason so many of us will never vote for Obama – the election fraud. They won’t ask that simply because they’ve never reported that. They want it to be about race. That would follow the meme they’ve already invented for why Obama loses. And we musn’t change the MSM’s memes.
