Barack Obama Watch: 42% Say Obama Should Quit Church

This Pastor is the INSPIRATION for the Title “Audacity of Hope” which is Obama’s Book. Pastor Jeremiah Wright has been Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama’s mentor and spiritual leader for 20 years.

The Jeremiah Wright story is not fading from the public. The latest Rasmussen polling states that 42 per cent of voters agree that Obama should quit his church.

Overall, voters are evenly divided as to whether Obama should resign his membership in the Church—42% say that he should while 40% disagree. White voters, by a 46% to 33% margin, say that Obama should leave the Church. African-American voters, by a 68% to 16% margin, say he should not. Wright retired last month as Pastor of the Church.

The story became big news in the past several days and has had at least a temporary impact on public perceptions of Obama. Last Thursday, 52% of voters nationwide had a favorable opinion of Obama. That figure has fallen to 47% on Monday (see recent daily results). In recent days, Obama has also lost ground to John McCain in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Then, there are the commentaries and parodies in RIGHT talk radio. Listen to Rush Limbaugh from this morning.

Barack Obama MUST pursue a different strategy regarding “UNCLE” Jeremiah Wright in distancing himself from the radioactive racist, anti-American Wright comments. As Flap said over the weekend: Obama will need to not only throw his Pastor “under the bus” but run him over – repeatedly.

If NOT then the Fallout will be NUCLEAR.
