Obama's Negatives Higher than Clinton or Edwards updated
Somebody tell Chris Matthews.
Obama's
negatives are up to 51%, even after the abject fauning of the press. Clinton is at 50%, but that's after 15 years of
scrutiny and the worse coverage of the primary season.
Favorable Unfavorable
McCain 53 – 27
Edwards 49 – 42
Clinton 48 – 50
Obama 43 – 51
Thompson 42 – 42
Giuliani 40 – 55
Huckabee 40 – 47
Romney 38 – 51
Maybe it's because Mr. Hope is now being endorsed by — wait for it — lobbyists (h/t reader HM in Hot Topics).
A former South Carolina governor who now runs a lobbying and consulting firm threw his support behind Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama on Wednesday, despite the Illinois senator's constant criticism of lobbyists. … Hodges was also named co-chairman of Obama's national campaign.
A lobbyist as national co-chair. Stunning.
