The Pew Research Center has a long and comprehensive look at Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign to become President.
Here’s their headline:
Obama Has The Lead, But Potential Problems Too — Increasing Optimism About Iraq
It’s been very telling of the Democratic party for quite some time, and now it’s Obama’s problem too. Why is it that good news in Iraq is bad news for Democrats? It’s exceptionally sad to think that the worst possible thing that Democrats can envision is actually winning the war against terrorists.
Pew’s summary:
Barack Obama is riding high as the March 4 primaries approach. Obama has moved out to a broad-based advantage over Hillary Clinton in the national Democratic primary contest and holds a 50%-43% lead over John McCain in a general election matchup.
However, the survey results point to several potential hazards for Obama. A solid majority of voters (56%) says Obama has not provided enough information about his plans and policies; in contrast, most voters say Clinton and McCain have disclosed enough information about their plans. Moreover, a plurality of voters (43%) says that Obama would not be “tough enough” in dealing with foreign policy and national security issues.
And those voters hadn’t even seen Barack’s newest surrender-and-disarm campaign video promises.
The more people find out about Barack, I hope the more they’re going to see him for what he really is: Bad for America.
