Obama Picking Up Support in California?

(Posted May 22, 2008) – There’s some good news from state of California for Sen. Barack Obama. A new poll released today finds more folks shifting dramatically towards his candidacy and away from both Sen. Hillary Clinton’s and John McCain’s.
This trend could put the damper on Clinton’s argument that she is the only one who can win the states she’s won in the primary come the general election. Clinton beat Obama in California’s primary February.
The survey was conducted over the past 10 days by the Public Policy Institute of California and found 59 percent of likely voters have a “favorable impression” of Obama compared to 51 percent of voters who say they have an “unfavorable” impression of Clinton.
The presumptive Republican nominee John McCain didn’t fair much better than Clinton; 53 percent of the voters said they have an unfavorable opinion of the Arizona senator.
With only a few primary contests remaining, Obama is spending some campaign time working to woo voters he’ll need in November should he be the nominee. Today, he gave a speech to the B’nai Torah Congregation in Boca Raton, F la., and laid out his views on issues impacting Israel.
But there will be one diversion from the campaign trail this holiday weekend. The freshman senator will be filling in for his colleague and friend Sen. Edward Kennedy on Sunday when he delivers the commencement address at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut.
Kennedy who was diagnosed earlier this week with a malignant brain tumor asked Obama if he could be his backup. “Considering what he’s done for me and for our country, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him. So I’m looking forward to standing in his place on Sunday even though I know I won’t be able to fill his shoes,” Obama said.
Californians are late to the party but at least we have arrived.
Thank you California for getting on board.
Yes WE Can!!!!!
California, never to late to see change. Obama thanks you I’m sure
All I want to know is why hasn’t the media made a big deal about McCain and the Rev Hagees
statements. McCain is lying. Wright did not endorse Obama, there were no promises……hum
Check that out – that your monitored media!!
Californian’s have begun to see the light and are ready for a CHANGE! OBAMA FOR CHANGE. I hope that speech will be televised and I hope that Kennedy will be able to attend as Obama speaks for him. God bless both of these great men!
Black and Proud….Haggie was not McCain’s pastor, he was only a supporter. McCain was also not a member in Haggie’s Church. However, both Haggie and Wright made un-official endoresments that don’t really matter.
I love Hilary and applaud her valent effort but it is time to pack it up!
im WAITING FOR THAT ONE>>>
what is happening to certain comments they are not being entered.
where is the messages
I KNOW AND I DONT UNDERSTAND, I HAVE WRITTEN COMMENT AFTER COMMENT THAT DIDNT POST………………………
With the controversy around the lack of protection from the CIA I do not feel it is wise to indicate Obama’s future gigs locations.
PAMELA……..Your blog is untrue. Why not report the boost McCain has had in California since Obama has become the presumptive nominee? California voted overwhelmingly for Senator Clinton and now many in that state are looking at McCain….Keep it fair!
