Wright is viewed favorably by only 8%<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Pastor Jeremiah Wright, who has become part of the national political dialogue in recent days, is viewed favorably by 8% of voters nationwide. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 58% have an unfavorable view of the Pastor whose controversial comments have created new challenges for Barack Obama\u2019s Presidential campaign.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And a majority found his remarks racially divisive:<\/p>\n

Seventy-three percent (73%) of voters say that Wright\u2019s comments are racially divisive. That opinion is held by 77% of White voters and 58% of African-American voters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A majority of voters say it will make them less likely to vote for Obama:<\/p>\n

Most voters, 56%, said Wright\u2019s comments made them less likely to vote for Obama. That figure includes 44% of Democrats. Just 11% of voters say they are more likely to vote for Obama because of Wright\u2019s comments.
\nHowever, among African-Americans, 29% said Wright\u2019s comments made them more likely to support Obama. Just 18% said the opposite while 50% said Wright\u2019s comments would have no impact. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(via<\/a>)
\nIf these numbers hold, it won’t be good news for Obama. He better get out in front of this fast before it derails him even further. He needs to answer some of the questions that even his supporters<\/a> still have.
\nBTW, here’s<\/a> the response to the controversy from Wright’s church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
