A CBS poll shows Barack Obama effectively stemmed the negative tide regarding the Wright revelations and received high marks for his speech on race relations. The poll stated that 69% of registered voters saying Obama did a good job of addressing race relations, and 71% said he did a good job explaining his relationship with Jeremiah Wright. The poll also indicated that 63% saying they agree with Obama on race relations.
Of voters who did follow the Wright revelations; 14% said they were less likely to vote for Obama as a result the controversy — but an an equal 14% stating they were more likely to vote for him, and 70% saying it made no difference.
There does appear to be some lasting damage, where on whether voters believe Obama can unite the country; that question he is at 52% Yes to 35% No, showing a precipitous decline from the score of 67%-25% in February---bad news for the Clinton whispering campaign!
