Poll Indicates Deep Trouble for Obama

The Gallup Organization is reporting trouble for Barack Obama which is not reflected in the day-by-day. up and down fluctuations of the daily tracking poll, according to CNS News Service.

According to Gallup, Obama's support among conservative Democrats has dropped 8 points to 63%.

Another troublesome trend is the fact that among liberal and moderate Republicans, support for Obama has dropped from 10% to 7%.

These numbers are significant when one considers that fully 37% of conservative Democrats do not support their Party's nominee and that fully 93% of liberal to moderate Republicans support John McCain.

The 2 key demographic groups are rarely mentioned in news headlines, but the trends observed within those groups are significant enough to raise serious questions about Obama's electability.

And if McCain nominates a running mate that is favored by Reagan conservatives, he is assured of a near-unanimous approval among evangelical Christians and other conservatives, which, along with Obama's falling approval numbers among the groups mentioned above, will spell major trouble for the Obama campaign.
