Wow! I can’t believe people hated it that much that it made them less likely to vote for him. And amazingly 82% of the people surveyed knew about the speech and the Wright controversy.

Of those who knew about the controversy and the speech, we asked, “Taking all this into account, are you more or less likely to support Obama for president?”
Less likely (52%)
More likely (19%)
About the same (27%)
No opinion (2%)

And among blacks it was even worse, 56% to 31% said they were less likely to vote for him. And Democrats disapproved by 48% to 28% but the really bad news was the Independents who by 56% to 13% said they were less likely to vote for him.
