CNN

Those numbers are groundless. Hillary is way better than male candidates. Obama is a segregationist (92% black voted Obama), he listened Wright's Anti-white sermon over 20 years, Oprah is his team, most of black journalists, or guests on TV are Obama's side and twist the story for Obama's benefit also they never speak the truth. I was shocked by Black people, especially Donna and Martin are obvious. Donna said she quit Democrat if superdelegate decide the nominee, I am looking forward what Donna say end of the Primary election because Hillary will win rest of States, then she will have more delegates. Donna, I don't want to hear that you bring another excuse for Obama from same mouth.

Get real department....all politicians have speech writers. Who wrote this one for Obama?? Several years ago somebody named Aesop wrote about a fable concerning storks and cranes and being known by the company you keep. Do Americans really want either basher confronting international leaders at the level we have seen in the Democratic race (bad word...confrontation)?

Millions of people including myself would like to here Barack Obama's speech that he prepaired himself until 2:00 AM in the morning. All CNN shows are segments of his speech. Thankyou very much. Can you air it before 12:00 AM in the morning. Thanks again. This preacher did the same thing with John F Kennedy. Allen Moser.

I used to be pretty attentive to the democratic race... however, ever since things have become a heated race between Barack and Hillary, hate suddenly started spewing out of each supporters.

It just sickens me to see the hatred people write in response to these articles. It has turned into a race of hatred and I have lost interest. If people could just open their eyes and see that BOTH candidates have proven worth of the spot. I honestly don’t care who wins anymore. Just stop the hate!

The most important message in Barack Obama's speech is hate the sin love the sinner as a child of Gods he is commanded to do this and guess what so is each and everyone of us.

What I mean by a nuclear bomb releasing perfume.This years primaries have become a disaster.I wish we could have only used perfume to stop world war 2.It took much more then that.I think we will all suffer because of all of this negative and racial divide for a long time.

Is that the understatement of a lifetime???That is like saying the nuclear bomb released perfume. There has never been this big of a difference or a choice between two candidates in American history.Thank God we still have free elections and the right to choose who we want.I hope we never become deprived of that!

All I hear is Clinton will do anything to win!! Well so would Barack!

I think Obama has a better chance of unifying the country, than Clinton.
Despite, the Rev. Wright controversy, I think Obama will bring the country together.

The speech by Senator Obama should have come of no surprise to people that he would have been so bold, so brave had to tackle a sensitive subject like race and in such a manner...Are we forgetting that this is a guy that opposed and spoke out against the Iraq war when it was popular and favoured??...This guy have a great character and shows his great ability to lead and be honest with the people....Love you Senator Obama, you truly touched me today, thanks for the speech.

Cnn please post this comment

Have those 56% for Barak and 49% for Hillary ever asked what kind of change they are going to give us or are they just going to accept what ever the winner decides is in our best interest.
Be carefull what you wish for, remember the throngs that used to wave, bow down, cheer and crowd in to listen to Adolph Hitler. to late they wished they had asked for clarification.

vote-McCAIN!!!!!

Obama's speech today proved he is JUST WORDS not change.

He has been taunting his JUDGMENT as a reason to vote for him. I find his judgment lacking. Let him keep Rev. Wright and I will keep Hillary.

one is for truth and change..............the other is not and twist things for their own betterment

This poll is an Old one, Obama losing support faster than they can post it . Even after his speech today he lost more ground. His Campaign is done. Hillary wins PA, and the tide goes her way from there.

there won't be any change, with obama he is not for the presidency. there is racial tensions because some churches like his keep the feelings raw and keep the conroversey over race live and well in his church. and in the public with his speeches of memories of the past. how can you be for the future if this is what you dwell on, and it doesn't heal the nation it was getting better but i think him running and bringing up mlk and and allthe bad things from years ago stirred up the hatred . let it be heal yourself and move on. obama you are into too much controversey with the pastor , your flip flopping saying one thing to people than telling the canadians it is anly politics. you are trying to say all the right stuff everyone wants to hear but you don't take stands with your pastor, resko, or any decisions that are hard.

wao , and i believe there is more to come from obama if dems think that obama will beat mc cain forget it . obama clearly lie , i belive he loss the white vote you cannot trust him , and he talks about jugdment he prove he does not have any , this prove you can never critisize some else without lloking at yourself in the mirror.

Very interesting. What this says to me is that the American people like Obama more, but still have reservations about his preparedness to be Commander-in-Chief. –Obviously, this is where Obama needs to direct his campaign.

i believe obama can bring about change in america.he is the candidate to watch out for.

OBAMA 08 – I'M READY FOR CHANGE
LET'S GO AMERICA-DON'T BE AFRAID OF CHANGE...CHANGE THAT WE NEED NOW!! DO NOT BUY INTO THE HILLARY SCARE TACTICS. AS THESE DAYS GO BY, IT SEEMS SHE WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET THIS NOMINATION. THIS SO CALLED "GOAL POST" KEEPS ON MOVING AND MOVING AND MOVING!!

Maybe those folks who think McCain is all that and a bag of chips should read the Ticker item about Iran above. There's your foreign policy pro, hard at work.

He's the antichrist, she's the wicked witch of the west, and McSenile is looking better every day............

Let's boot 'em all and start over.

Donald Duck '08

If Obama is not the nominee than I will vote for McCain.

Barrack Obama is a great leader and it took much courage to make the speech he made today and not back down to the cynical people who thrive off hate.

Remember, Martin Luther King was also mocked and attacked when he made great speeches. Those same people will now say he was a great leader.

It's no surprise to see the hate filled cynics from the Hillary and Conservative camps so hurtful and attackful. Just more proof that their is still a great divide in our society with regards to race, gender, and religion while America stands for diversity.

I can tell you I am not proud of this country when I read so many Americans and their hate speech on these blogs.

Wow... 56% of Americans! That's the first GOOD NEWS I have about Sen. Obama in a week!

I just heard on Bill O'Reilly's show that Hillary's supporters are boycotting on blog site because Obama's supporters are so mean. BUT I have read mean and hateful things on this blog plenty from Hillary's supporters.

Time to unite Democrats, before you self-implode!

Qualities?!? Are you serious?

This election is like a "Twilight Zone" episode where everyone has been hypnotized into a cult.

"HOPE", "CHANGE", "YES WE CAN".

Hope in what?
Change what?
Yes we can what?

Can ANY Obama supporter seriously answer any of these questions?

Let see if Hillary ever told us a Lie? I looking forward to reading her white house documents

I listened to Obama's speech. For me, he failed to address why he has attended a hate-mongering church for the past 20 years. It's all fine and good to say that you know different aspects of a person. But the bottom line, you do not attend a church for 20 years that goes against your values. Obama talks a pretty line, but actions speak louder than words, and his actions point to his true character. He is very intelligent, and he obviously knows what people want to hear. The time for leaving that church, on principal alone, was the first day the reverend ever spoke such hate and racist talk, which I'm sure was 20 some years ago. Had Obama been the man he portrays himself to be, he would never have been a member of that church to begin with.

Perhaps John Murtha should have read this article BEFORE he endorsed clinton. If clinton steals the nomination with her 'politics as usual' dirty tactics, John Murtha can know that by doing so, he has helped "seal the deal" for John McCain! Mr. clinton's wife cannot win against McCain.

Woohoo! That's right he will bring about change. I will bring about change too if he's elected. I guarantee most others will feel the same way, yes WE can–and WE will.

Obama!

Perhaps John Murtha should have read this article BEFORE he endorsed clinton.

Good Poll!!!!!!!!! I agree

The sampling error of your survey? 25% +/_ – it is not clear who you sampled?

Obama will give us CHANGE alright!

We don't care about Hillary.

GO OBAMA MAN GO PRESIDENT FOR 2008 OR NOTHING.

Obama,s change--- now hear this,now hear this, all whites to the back of the bus!Oh yes, change you can believe in.

Yeah one is a white male, born and bred for leadership.

One is a black male and would be great at sports, except hockey.

One is a woman and should be making us a pie.

McCain '08.

Obama is a Black Dr Jeckle and Mr. Hyde not fit for the Presidency. You are, whom you keep company with. That are professed leaders of their race. Bigot and overt racists.

Yes there is. Hillary should talk about Peter Paul. Hillary should release her tax returns. Hillary should talk about Norman Hsu and the picture where Hillary and Bill are with Tony Rezko. Obama tells the truth Hillary tries to hide everything. Hillary will garnish your wages to force your compliance with Univ. Health Care.

You obama kool-aid drinkers don't have a clue as to what his change will be and members of congress have said they have not seen obama work with both parties to get ANYTHING done. Just because he says it doesn't make it so.
ANYONE BUT OBAMA!

Here are some more questions for pollsters:

Did anyone ask about who would lead in divisiveness? I'm guessing Hillary hands down.

Did anyone ask about who would be the choice of special interest groups and lobbists? I'm guessing Hillary hands down.

Did anyone ask about who would bring their own agenda to Washington? Again, I'm guessing Hillary hands down.

It's a bit surprising that Americans believe that Obama would be more able to bring about change when he calls himself a "Washington outsider". I have found nothing in his past to believe that he has the ability to achieve that task. Also, I find it interesting that Clinton is still perceived as less able to work with both parties to get things done when she actually has demonstrated just that. Don't know what experience voters are looking at when they ranked Obama more able to get both parties to work together. Again, show me where he has done that.

I should have said , "the public has been fooled into believing the Titanic is unsinkable".

Barak needs to drop out. His campaign is hopelessly mired in scandal which can only increase with time and destroy the Democratic party

McCain also does the poorest among the poll's participants when asked if the candidate cares about people like them: 51 percent said McCain did, compared with 55 percent who said the same of Clinton and 67 percent who said Obama cared about them.

Who would be the 67%? I must be the other 33%. I'm white, and I love my country.

It is time for someone new. Sen. Clinton is old at this game and has gottin nothing past. So if she has got nothing past in the past why should she be the next President. This Country is in bad shape in now is the time for new leadership which is Obama.

from the sound of it if obama becomes president us po' white fokes will be bustin rocks... not always a good change

What happened to a man being responsible for his own words? I think this racial issue has tampered with Freedom of Speech, of which the media bases its legitimacy.

Don't believe those polls. Either Hilary or Obama would be McCain. Don't be confused by it. The next president will either be a woman or a black man.

I trust Obama. He is a fighter and a uniter while Hillary is a fighter and a divider.

show what people know. Hillary has worked more with republicans more to get things done since she has been in Congress.

Oh God help America – they are so obsessed with celebrity, that they have ignored all the warning signs about Obama. Thank goodness all his lies are coming out now – in time to stop him steam rolling his way into disaster for the US and the world.

Q the Cliton fanboy's and girls telling us how CNN is biased and they will vote for McCain out of spite if Obama is the Democratic candidate.

Is this the best pro-obama message cnn could post with all the controversy surrounding Obama? I'm sure this survey was taken well before Obama's new delicate situation.

I cannot believe that Obama would sit in a church for 20 years, stating that this man was a good preacher and have the gumption to say that he never heard any of these remarks from this pastor. You have just lost a vote. I know you are not supposed to judge the person by the company they keep. However, I have a hard time stomaching or beliving that he never heard any of these comments. Like the broadcaster said, "No one ever said, man you should have heard that sermon last week." sad sad sad

Gob Bless America, God Love America, Let God Greatness Shine on Thee.

Isn't it Good News...

We just need to whether the storm. The Eagle shall Rise Again....

Yes We can.........

OBAMA 08

yes one is open and one is a liar. You do the figuring. And to Hillary Supporters, pleaseeeeeeeeee it is not Hillary. She is making claim to fame about her so-called experience. LOL. LOL. COAT TAIL OF BILL CLINTON!!

Obama 08

The major difference is that Obama is a speech maker, not an action taker. Hillary will get things accomplished. Obama will just talk about doing it.

The poll was taken before Obama's lies were brought forth to the American people.

The poll was taken before Obama's lies were brought forth to the American people.

How has Obama worked with both parties to facilitate any changes on Capital Hill? His record indicates that he has voted along party lines and demonstrated no evidence of bi-partisanship.Of all three candidates, he would be least based on past performance of abilities to work with both parties.

Obama is straight forward and tells the truth but Hillary lies and says what she needs to get by.

Obama is the most qualified to be president. I'm supporting him.

in my work office that a different story, so where are you media getting these no#... is it because you want to make it look like obama is a still front runner? which we know he's not, again the media trying to swag voters to do what they want!!!!!

Here we come America! After the speech today, my support for Barack has become stronger!

Donation* check
Volunteering* check
Hope* check
Change* check

Obama!!! 2008-2017

This poll was obviously taken before Obama's minister scandal. America will no longer accept him.

Yeah, but it's a CNN poll...blahblahblah...

If political tricks were land Hillary would be Asia. If manipulation were rain, she'd be a monsoon. If back stabbing were cold weather, she'd be a Siberian winter. Need I go on.

We saw it in McCain's Iran comemnt: this man doesn't know even what he wants to say.... and Clinton we saw it that all she wants is power. Obama is the only genuine candidate in this race – everyone else is just politic as usual.

HILLARY will go all the way to THE WHITE HOUSE....Especially after the latest escapades of McCain and Obama! LOL...Keep your eye on certain trial notes, via "Chicago Sun". A certain candidate is now on the witness list and additional details provided at same site goes to show a very poor judge of friends and collegues. I wouldn't go as far as some by saying Obama's an "empty suit" but that's only because I'm polite! Bwark, the race is nearly over for you! Rezko will be your downfall !!! GOOD LUCK HILLARY! Your country needs you big time!

Interesting.

And Obama's ability to get things done on a bi-partisan basis is based on what specifically?

He has such a slim record at the national level.

He should have reached out to Wright to try to achieve a change in that man's racist mindset.

Go Barack!

Obama is genuine. Hillary appears plastic and fake because she simply isn't.

There should be a survey on who lies the most.

I bet Obama will win that survey.

World and USA would be proud the day when Sen. BARACK OBAMA would sworn as President of United States.

World has not seen so far a leader with million quaities.
it would be a greatest day on earth.

So wake up America, do your right.

Nav
Stanford University.

I believe that Sen. Obama will do his best to bring our country back on it's feet!

For Hildary...NAY!

As I was coming from a conference today I turned to talk radio. The coments from caucasions was amazing and authentic. many said that Obama's speech changed their minds and helped them to understand him better. They said they'd vote for himas of now. I scanned the stations and the response was the same. People want a sincere and honest candidate and not more of the same rhetorical bla bla bla. One caucasion radio host said she appreciated what her listeners had to say, however, the new stations and the Clinton campaigners would start to pick apart the speech and attempt to turn his own words against him. I was personally moved by the speech and happy that he said things that I had hoped he would say. I believe that mixed race people are some of the most misunderstood citizens in this country. Obama is correct in that we, as americans, need to begin to talk openly so that we can all begin to heal.

Finally, why is Lou Dobbs so skeptical about Obama's sincerity when we have all been through the Clinton lies, deceptions and dirty laundry. What questions does Lou have for Hillary and all of the dirty tricks that her campaign has pulled. Isn't anyone sick and tired of the Clintons and their dirty tactics which are making a mockery of the Democratic convention? Well, I am..

VERY INTERESTING !

SO, IF THE DEM CANDIDATES ARE SO SUPERIOR TO McCAIN, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT THE POLLS SUPPORT McCAIN SLIGHTLY OVER BOTH HILLARY AND OBAMA , INSPITE THAT JE IS VERY LITTLE IN THE NEWS ?

LASER??

Change is good if one knows what Obama is changing us into. He is a true polititian; and he rightious stance is not convinsing. He pronounced Rev. White as his family, but this is what we always ask about- your family, your friends in order to get into deeper roots and understanding of a politician. What we are finding out about Obama is not good.

Right now is not the time to experiment with Obama's left views and slogans of change and racial unity. We need Hillary to get us out of this mess with economy and continue working on equal right for all, including rights of white majority.

A lot of students ignated by Obama speaches and promises and influencing the outcome of the elections, favoring Obama. Parents should display their guidance and wisdom. Let's not allow our teens to make idealistic choices for the country. After all, we are paying for their tuition!

Come on, this is garbage information. sample size of 1000 people cannot represent anything and does not have any meanful information! Simply, it's because the sample size is too small to reoresent 300m people's opionion. Believe me, I'm a satistician.

How could CNN has such poor judgement.

I find this poll dubious. Do people actually pay attention.

Hillary Clinton has year's of experiance with meeting with world leaders, she has been to Iraq and China. She has worked hard in the senate.

As for bring about change, she has done this throughtout her career. She has a great record in the senate in regards to working with republicans. Obama has been known to be very liberal.

And finally, judgement. Hillary is a fighter. Thats what dems need. Obama has shown a lack of judgement, especially in his misleading comments on Rev.Wright.

As for McCain, he is a close second behind Hillary. Experiance is crucial to bring about change. Clinton and McCain have it, Obama lacks.

I agree Barack Obama will bring change.

2008 Obama!!!!

Obama needs to GO where????...........................back there !

HILLARY "OUR GIRL" IN 08' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are the 39% who think John McCain will bring change?

Have your heads checked.

Has this guy said anything that will be different from the 8 years of Bush? Seriously, think about it, has McCain differed in anything from Bush, or has he CHANGED (flip-flopped) his views to match with Bush?

Think about it.

change.... good grief! Do people believe that just because Obama said it? Why believe anything he says now.

Experience is what matters most. Since I am a dem I will vote for hillary if Obama gets the nomination, I will become a McCain supporter.

I'd rather have an old white man than a flip flopping speech making deceptive black man.

Who has made this about race... Obama,,,, whine whine whine... NOBAMA!

WHY DOES CNN DISLIKE HILLARY SO MUCH?

Hillary all the way!

I am now today stronger then ever in my conviction that Obama is the President that I've been waiting for my entire life. As a student of business you need to reallize that change is not welcome or accepted by all. And the key to change is empowering people to make the change. Obama can motivate and empower the people of America to get involved in our government. I don't believe Obama is the solution I believe he is the vessel for uniting our country and getting Americans involved in the decisions that affect their everyday lives.

Interesting ratings. McCain and Clinton have factually demonstrated numerous times that they can reach across the aisle. Since Obama has been a US Senator there's been quite a bit of bipartisan legislation. Obama has been party to NONE OF IT. His history as a State Senator and US Senator is in complete opposition to his words.

Heard Obama today. There isn't another politician in the country today with the brains or judgment he continues to reveal.

If Obama is elected, I predict he may become one of the greatest presidents in our country's history. After ' W' we need some greatness to heal the damage done to us all.

Wonder what the diffrence is, Hmmm..... I don't see it.

A new poll says Barack will bring about change, more than any other candidate. That's an understatement. He already has–more than anyone will ever know.

Obama 08

I think Larry Elders is a poor representative of the black race, for the comments he made about senator obama. The man made a great speech today. To bad the senator has to defend himself at every turn of his run for president.

Amazing how all the pro-Obama info is above the cut on this ticker bit.

Dear Barack:

I only heard part of your race speech today. I am a 64 year old male who has had a black best friend for over 30 years. I saw him on Sunday for dinner. I am also British and he blames me and Britain for slavery. Although I have a PhD and have been a professor at UCLA I have no job. Please address positive issues and the hypocrisy in the US where more than race is involved.

You AND Clinton have brought negative campaigning to the surface. It is the main foundation of your campaign and used by opponents to attack you. These people manipulate the system to get their candidate elected. This is why we have George Bush as president and face Clinton every day. Clinton should be told about this. I will do this but she has no guts to listen. If you cannot see the problem maybe you should not be running either. I have admired Bill Clinton for years but no more. He has changed and lost his values and appears to be on prescription drugs. His WIFE is arrogant and is not acceptable as president. You are
her little black boy.

The race problem arose because of dirty politics. It has been discussed enough. Attack the negative politics that brought it to light. An opponent searched though 100's of sermons to find some negative statements to attack you. They were sold by Clinton to FOX News and others and played endlessly on TV news. Those who did this are evil, ones who would destroy our democracy for money. Tomorrow there will be another negative topic. The US does not need this. Please strongly condemn these dirty tactic. It gives the US a bad name. I have been trying to get you to this for months. You need to use STRONG supporter/surrogates to be on TV to attack the commentators are destroying your campaign. It is a conspiracy from you political opponents. They are running the issues you are talking about. Clinton and her tactics are your problem. I will not vote for a monster who could to run without her husband and will use any tactics to get votes.
They and their supporters are the American axis of evil.

The most recent poll shows that Barack Obama spends 14 minutes in the shower, Clinton spends 15, and McCain 10.

C'mon now with these polls.

"Yes, she would do anything, and she is running out of “anythings.” No redo of FL. No delaying the Texas Caucus results. Not stacking up a lot of Super Delegates. Subtle hints that Super Delegates will go with the voters’ desires.

Frankly, it is scary how delusional she is and how irrational her methods are. At 3:00 a.m. when the phone rings, I want that brilliant, patient, rational man I heard give a historical speech today to answer the phone. I don’t want one of the multiple personalities of Hillary to answer, and I am a woman–a woman who is willing to wait for the RIGHT woman for president."

Linda if you're reading this, I hope you don't mind, I had to repost it.

LETS TAKE THIS SAME POLL IN A COUPLE OF DAYS!

I am sure it will have Clinton ahead!! Obama has had a very large margin lead over Hillary the past 2 weeks and now she has cut that margin and the difference between them both is only 4-6%. Who is the one with the momentum now?

HILLARY CLOSE THIS DEAL – AMERICA IS BEHIND YOU!

WE LOVE HILLARY!

YOU GO GIRL!!!

"Survey respondents also ranked the Illinois senator highest — 65 percent — when asked who would work with both parties to get things done, compared with 56 percent who say McCain would and 52 percent who say Clinton would."

I am amazed at how people think that Obama will work bring about change, when both Clinton and has proven over and over again during her term in the senate that she works effectively with all parties by bring about substantial changes and legislation! Obama has not been vetted... this cult type following of him is dangerous for the country.

How? How will Barack Obama bring about change? How?

I am going to change the weather – if I say it over and over and millions of people hear me say it – will it be so????

It is funny to me that you have to read the FULL Story to see anything Obama does not rank first in. Very skewed way of presenting the information.

One candidate does not turn in her tax returns until the very last minute. She also hides her husband's library donor list.

Full disclosure is what we need in a president.

Obama 08

How can anyone say that Obama can unite America. Can you really believe that his campaign is not racist? This country is a lot less united since Obama started talkintg about the racist issues. The prove is in the black votes. And we all know it!

I would like to know based on what specific accomplishments do this 56% of people think Obama can bring change to America? I bet you all you want these same people still believe in the tooth fairy!

HILLARY 08

One is a user, and will use anybody, but especially minorites to get what she wants. The other wants all Americans to be represented and does not want to pit one group against the other.

One candidate will trash her opponent, and even praise the GOP to get what she wants.

Obama 08

To all the intelligent folks. Please rise above all of this racial garbage being thrown at you via the media and Reverend Wright's comments. These are not Obama's views. If you are smart you can see through it. If you are dumb, like some of the bloggers, you will never see it.

Again, the polls show what the voters have been saying. She represents the past the Baby Boomers who had their time. It is time for new leadership and a new generation. Funny how the people ripping Obama for lack of experience are the same type of people who would have ripped Lincoln and Kennedy, the former considered our greatest president and the latter revered as a man of great vision.

One candidate says she wants the people to be represented in Florida. But when it comes to the Superdelegates, they should vote anyway, no matter if they vote against the people's wishes or not.

In a nutshell, one talks out of the side of HER mouth, and the other doesn't.

Obama 08

Barack wants to serve the people, Hillary wants to be served.

Obama 08

One wants fairness, and the other wants to county Michigan votes, even though her opponents name is not on the ballot.

Character, integrity, just words to Hillary.

Obama 08

Would agree with those survey results. I don't think Clinton can work with both parites, too much of a right wing conspiracy argument during the white house years. McCain has been around a long time, but does seem to float back and forth occ. Obama seems to be the most flexable. In the end, not sure it matters, seems to be the same old DC yak, yak, yak from all of them. Voting in Novemeber isn't going to be fun. Have a feeling nothing will change come 2009.

Oh-kay...Take it in a few days when it will be more relevant. When Obama's lack of judgment sinks in with the American people...

I remember all too well the 1990s when a totally gridlocked Washington D.C. couldn't get anything done. Getting along with others and building consensus is not a Hillary strong point.

There is a character difference as well. Hillary has a reputation for deception, mean-spiritness and manipulation. Barack does not.

Obama 08
