Poll Shocker! It's Not What You Think

Making no attempt to hide whatsoever that it is solidly 'in the tank' for Obama, the mainstream media has rolled out a plethora of polls of late, supposedly showing that Barack Obama has opened a significant lead over John McCain, one poll even showing a double-digit bombshell.

But wait.

As usual, there is something they are not telling you.

The latest CNN poll has some shocking numbers, but they are not what you might think. The polls showing Obama opening a significant lead over McCain are skewed because they fail to take into consideration one big factor--deep Democratic discontent over the fact that Hillary is not the nominee.

CNN shows that only 54% of Hillary supporters are backing Barack Obama for President. In short, that is not good. That means that a whopping 46% of Democrats who supported Hillary Clinton are not throwing their support behind Barack Obama.

This could spell big problems of a gargantuan nature for the Obama campaign in the general election.

Fully one-third of Hillary supporters now say they will stay home on election day rather than vote for Barack Obama, a number that is up over one month ago.

The poll conducted by CNN shows a definite trend among the Democrats that holds no good news for Obama. Instead of the Party healing its rift and 'coming together,' it appears there is growing discontent that Obama has earned for himself a 'say anything' candidate moniker.

Early in June only 35% of Democrats said they preferred Hillary over Obama. Since that time, that number has risen to 46%--almost half of the Democrats polled.

These figures show that Obama is on shaky ground within his own Party, regardless of what some of the national polls say about a head-to-head matchup with McCain.

With McCain getting some of the disgruntled Hillary supporters, and with the other part of the 46% staying home, it would appear that not only is Obama's halo tarnished and falling away, but he is growing a set of horns.
