Obama Still Pulls Country Together

The first major national poll since the Wright episode broke, and it's Hillary Clinton, and not Barack Obama, who has taken the biggest hit. Her positive rating is 37%.



I found this interesting:

On one of the most critical questions we've been tracking for a few months, Obama showed resilience. When asked if the three presidential candidates could be successful in uniting the country if they were elected president, 60 percent of all voters believed Obama could be successful at doing this, 58 percent of all voters said McCain could unite the country while only 46 percent of voters said the same about Clinton. All three candidates saw dips on this issue, by the way. In January, 67 percent thought Obama could unite the country; 68 percent thought McCain could do it; and 55 percent said Clinton would be able to pull it off.
