Obama's Negatives Rise, Clinton Tops McCain in New Poll

Share

April 30, 2008 6:40 PM

ABC News' Ed O'Keefe Reports: Barack Obama's recent woes may be having an effect in the polls.

A new CBS/New York Times poll released on Wednesday shows Sen. Obama, D-Ill., and presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., tied in a hypothetical general election match-up, while Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., edges out McCain by a five-point margin.

Here are raw CBS/New York Times numbers now (among registered voters):

If the candidates were Obama and McCain, who would you vote for?
Obama: 45%
McCain: 45%
Undecided/Don't Know: 6%

If the candidates were Clinton and McCain, who would you vote for?
Clinton: 48%
McCain: 43%
Undecided/Don't Know: 5%

"Barack Obama's problems over the last few weeks, including his Pennsylvania primary loss and the continuing media coverage of his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, may have contributed to his weaker position compared to two weeks ago," read an analysis released by CBS and the New York Times.

Since their last poll four weeks ago, unfavorable views of Obama have risen 10% -- from 24% a month ago to 34% at present.  Obama's woes also appear to know few demographic bounds -- unfavorable views of Obama have risen among women, whites, independents and Democrats, according to CBS News and the New York Times.

Here are the raw CBS/New York Times numbers as of their last poll on April 3, 2008 (among registered voters):

If the candidates were Obama and McCain, who would you vote for?
Obama: 47%
McCain: 42%
Undecided/Don't Know: 7%

If the candidates were Clinton and McCain, who would you vote for?
Clinton: 48%
McCain: 43%
Undecided/Don't Know: 5%

An Associated Press-Ipsos poll released Monday found similar results.

In that poll, Clinton leads McCain by 9-points, 50-41, in a hypothetical general election match-up.  Obama, on the other hand, is "virtually tied" with McCain, at 46-44 percent. 

Obama strongly condemned recent comments made by his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, on Tuesday, a move that many political pundits consider high-stakes but necessary gamble by his campaign to control a spreading political firestorm.

Reacting to what he called the "spectacle" of his former pastor at the National Press Club, Obama denounced Wright saying, "What Rev. Wright said yesterday directly contradicts everything I have ever done or said in my life."

"Whatever relationship I had with Rev Wright has changed as a result of this," Obama said.

The candidate went considerably further than he has in the past in distancing himself from Wright, accusing him of "insensitivity and outrageousness" in his Monday appearance at the National Press Club in Washington.

"The person I saw (on Monday) was not the person I met 20 years ago," Obama said.

So, let's focus on Barack Obama and his campaign and see where things stand in aftermath of latest Rev. Wright events.

In his exclusive blog on ABCNews.com, former Bush campaign strategist and ABC News political contributor Matthew Dowd opined that "Obama's statements in last 24 hours of being passionately critical of Wright and saying he was out of step with America were the only choice he had left. It was his only option and he seized it well."

Dowd laid out four points he views as critical to an Obama comeback emphasizing, "The biggest damage to him is that he held a brand of being an unconventional candidate in a time America wants a shift from the conduct of politics as usual. But he and his campaign have seemed very conventional of late."

Hey Ed,

You failed to mention that Obama has actually gained ground over Hillary in this poll.
But that would distract from your aim, now wouldn't it?
Show a little journalistic integrity.

Posted by: Jack | Apr 30, 2008 7:07:32 PM

The only way that super delegates will start to move away from Obama is if he loses Indiana and has a less than impressive showing in North Carolina.

It feels like Obama peaked months ago and it is Clinton with the momentum.

@Anette.

Just show up with a photo i.d.

No matter how you feel about it, that will move the process and voting along.

Please stop calling Sen Clinton Shrillary Obamas negatives have gone up because of his not being truthful and guilt by association is valid at this pint because everyone in Chicago tries to get ahead in schemes that are considered illegal everywhere else please do the right thing and nominate Hillary she will move this country forward trying to say Obama would bring a new discourse is a joke

"He does not know me now." Let's run the poll again in a few days and let that sink into people. The masses march out of the church house on Sundays disagreeing with their Pastor and talk about it all day and into the night. Now they have seen the power of mud-fights in politics and the pressure put on a man who unmistakenly looked like it was one of the most painful things in his life to do - publically distance himself from his pastor, the man who married he and his wife and Baptized his children. With applause the Karl Rovians had divided another camp - but what Senator Obama's campaign has been all about is rising above it all and from far, far behind the pack he has made it thus far. Take the poll again on Monday - this young man has been tested over and over and over and over. He continues on, thankfully. I'm sorry if I offend some of my fellow citizens, but I'm beginning to clearly see what Senator Obama has been trying to tell us from the beginning.

Posted by: OnTheGloryRoad | Apr 30, 2008 7:11:34 PM

obama is in serious trouble - i watch the comments on digg.com and there has defintely been a change in tone toward obama - two months ago one word against obama and you would have been 'dugg down' into oblivion but if you go there today a lot of people are expressing their concerns and being 'dugg up'

Posted by: scathinglybrilliant | Apr 30, 2008 7:11:36 PM

Its over for Obama he needs to do the right thing and suspend his campaign it should be Clinton/Edwards on the ticket because in 2004 Kerry was not nice to edwards and edwards wouldve won the ticket for them

Posted by: staniam | Apr 30, 2008 7:13:37 PM

and some Obama people are having ephinaies how interesting... Clinton will rise to the occasion and defeat him soundly end of story

Posted by: staniam | Apr 30, 2008 7:15:38 PM

Note that while Obama accumulates negatives and baggage via his associations, and it is not quite the baggage Hillary carries by being married to Bill. As far as family values goes, the Clintons send a very bad message. The Republicans will have their way the 'impeached' Clintons.

Posted by: democratfor08 | Apr 30, 2008 7:15:45 PM

If Hillary Clinton is the nominee it will be a guaranteed McCain win. All the young voters, new voters, African American voters, Independent voters, and Obamacans will either vote for McCain or stay home. The damage will not only be seen in this election but in elections for decades to come.

Posted by: Mike | Apr 30, 2008 7:16:04 PM

Obama is unelectable!
Who cares if he gets the nomination and looses to John McCain in November!
Sure either Hillary or McCain!

Posted by: Greg | Apr 30, 2008 7:16:47 PM

here's the hard numbers:

3/28 - 4/02 Obama 46 Clinton 43
4/25 - 4/29 Obama 46 Clinton 38

That's a +5 gain in the midst of Wright, Bittergate, and a PA loss.

Looks like Hillary is the one who should be worried.

If obama was like me in church, he fell asleep during the sermon. It seems that wright would cause me to go to sleep. So please do not fault Obama for what he slept through in church. Perhaps we can move on from this non issue and talk about a hundred year war in iraq and who can get us out.

Posted by: staniam | Apr 30, 2008 7:25:25 PM

If we could put up with the drug addict and convicted felon of a brother-in-law of Hillary Clinton, surely we can put up with ex-Marine pastor who can't getaway from the 60s view of how the US Government treats blacks. It is pretty obvious that Obama faces a double standard when it comes to disowning his pastor simply because most Americans are uncomfortable with a crazy black pastor though they tolerate crazy white pastors.

Should she become the number one contender, we'll hear a lot about Hillary's baggage - some of which have yet to be "rummaged through" though she claims she is fully vetted. For someone who wears her faith on her sleeve - we are yet to find out which church she attends and what her church group stands for. We all would like to know what the Clintons did to push Vince Foster to commit suicide and why Susan M. went to jail for the Clintons. Even if Hillary thinks her baggage has been rummaged through, the MSM will rummage through it again and this time she will be answering the questions instead of Bill. And the Rev Wright controversy will look pale by comparison.

If Obama is going to prison for laundrying money -then He will be in good company because "Bill and Hill" should be in there also.

I've had enough of some people blindly following Obama. I'm embarrassed for them! No matter what he does, they give him a pass. All of his associations (and close, long relationships) with racist, anti-American people do matter. They matter a WHOLE lot. He shouldn't even be allowed near the White House.

Posted by: NoHateHere | Apr 30, 2008 7:30:20 PM

THe demographics are changing you can say all you want the tide is turning we cannot have Obama in the white house period

Posted by: staniam | Apr 30, 2008 7:30:55 PM

Wright said nothing new!

Only Obama keeps changing his story.

Why isn't Obama winning and putting Hillary away?
Because we saw racist pastor and Obama mentor.

Obama had lost the white vote in every election since Feb 19.

Obama had only carried a small white majority in three states during the primary.

How does Obama win an election against McCain with three states?

This election isn't about who you're voting for, but who you'll be voting against !!!

Posted by: staniam | Apr 30, 2008 7:32:11 PM

It is sad how poorly educated people are here. The other candidates cannot compete with Barack's intellect, nor can they compete with is positive message. Therefore, they have to play to thier own xenophobic fears. Obama is the only choice for change that this country desperately needs. Hillary tells so many lies, she actually believes she is ahead. Her campaign makes up new math every day to try to sell the idea that she is electable. Go on Hillary, you are are tired candidate. For a candidate who is trying to show sympathy for average workers, it was hilarious to see her riding in that huge truck to a glass factory. GO OBAMA!

Posted by: staniam | Apr 30, 2008 7:35:19 PM

What they don't say is that Hillary has just as high negatives and Obama is ahead in head-to-head poll against Hillary.

By the way the one who said Obama is going to prison, how about Hillary current FEC fraud problem. Hillary is getting the free ride these days.

And those who think Obama is finished 2 polls today show he is back up, the most recent ones. 41-38 and 46-43.

Also, superdelegates have been swayed by Rev. Wright saga. Obama picked 5 supers in the last 24 hrs and Hillary 4.

Live with it, Obama will recover and sstill win the nomination.

No actual votes have been cast and CANNOT be cast until the convention. that goes especially for caucus delegates who frequently do not show up. That is why alternates are selected.

Superdelegates can say what they want. Clinton supporters will demand a vote in Dennver.

Posted by: geevill | Apr 30, 2008 7:38:38 PM

How do you like the known unknowns that Obama has mis-judged - his 20 years friendship, menteeship, and inspirationship by his good Rev. Wright?

He knew exactly what he was dealing with, yet he hides it from the people and deceives the voters, by changing his judgments 5 times!!!

I suppose you got to give him credit he only changed his judgment twice on Iraq, first against, then vote to fund it, and now against it again.

Posted by: lazy | Apr 30, 2008 7:38:58 PM

Forget what Jeremiah Wright has said because his problem is but a symptom of a much larger problem. I want to know when O'bama will reject the Black Nationalist and Black Power tone of the Church he has supported and attended for 20 years. A Church's whose vision statement is taken from the writings of the anti-White, Dr. James Cone? Martin Luther King Jr. said the Black Power movement is a destructive philosophy because we all need each other. Black Nationalism and Black Power are one step removed from Black Separtists which are hate groups according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Posted by: ShelbyBob35051 | Apr 30, 2008 7:40:26 PM

Actually, the latest polls is 46-38 for Obama vs. Clinton.

Ha ha ha ha by the way if Hillary gets the nomination you will see the Obama coalition also turning against her by not voting or voting for someone else.

Jimmy Carter said today that supers will not overturn the pledge delegates. Obama is the nominee.

Posted by: Anthony | Apr 30, 2008 7:41:33 PM

I've been hearing rumors (which i never give credit to) from several online sites that Obama will soon be airing ads which complain that bill cost him a vote because Monica L. is voting republican because the democrats left a bad taste in her mouth.

Posted by: staniam | Apr 30, 2008 7:42:10 PM

It's really interesting to see how the media slants things and how some people follow the media's lead and can't think for themselves.

Right now Obama is their victim and you are hard-pressed to find any positive news coverage about him. Next week, it may be McCain or Clinton.

Meanwhile, the haters continue to post lies as though they were truths and some people buy into it.

I support Hillary but intended to vote for Obama if he was nominated up until today. Now it looks super bad and I will be forced to vote for McCain if Obama is nominated. McCain does have an honest reputation. I just hate the republicans. Why can we Democrates not have some sense and nominate someone who can win. Hillary can and will win if nominated. Obama is going to get trashed like unbelieveable by the Republicans. Obama jumped onto the fast track to the Presidency. He is simply not ready for the Presidency. He did not know he would be vetted so deeply. He thought it would be like his Senator race. Presidential elections are different. Hillary has been vetted and can and will win. Hillary would have had all the black vote if Obama was not black. Hillary and Bill are life long supporters of the black cause. They have been treated terrible in this election. Vote for Hillary. We must defeat the Republicans. Obama said he wants to unite the people but right now he is dividing the people. His best move to unite everyone is for Obama to throw his support to Hillary immediately.

Posted by: DemocratForever | Apr 30, 2008 7:52:55 PM

i'm gonna TIVO Hillary's exit from this race. That evil gas bag peice of crap will NEVER be president and even if Obama loses I'll be happy that she will NEVER be commander-in-chief.

God damn America...NO..goddamn Hillary Clinton. And her feminazi, hateful redneck couldnt get a real job so had to work at a steelmill and blame affirmative action because your dumbass cant make a living because you dont have a degree or GED supporters.

I cant wait til all you old fucks die off so we can have a real change in this country the next generation.

More from cry baby Obama. Obama cries foul:

By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer 8 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama's presidential campaign wants federal regulators to investigate fellow Democrats who are backing Hillary Rodham Clinton's candidacy, taking intraparty discord to a new level of confrontation.
Obama's campaign lawyer, Robert Bauer, filed a complaint Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission, accusing the pro-Clinton American Leadership Project of violating campaign finance laws by running ads against Obama. The group is spending $920,000 for an ad in Indiana questioning Obama's economic policies. Clinton vindicated:

Lawyers for the ALP, in a statement issued Wednesday, said the group is operating independently and not coordinating its efforts with any candidate.

"Moreover, persons who have provided financial support to a presidential candidate are not prohibited by law from making donations to ALP, and if they do so, that fact alone does not constitute 'coordination' under the FEC rules," the statement said.

This kid Obama is too much. Grow up Obama. Get some decent friends and try again in four years. Obama will never win the GE.

BOTTOM LINE:
Barry is not presidential material
and overestimates himself.
that is why he is putting us through
this drama.
