Most voters disagree with Obama comment
The first poll is out to try to measure voter sentiment on Barack Obama's remarks about bitter working class voters.
The Rasmussen Reports survey asked voters nationwide: "Do you agree or disagree with Barack Obama’s statement that people in small towns 'cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations'?
Among all voters, 56 percent disagreed, and 43 percent of Democrats did. Not surprisingly, those who described themselves as conservatives were more adamant in their disagreement.
Among all voters, 45 percent said the comments reflected an "elitist view" of small town voters. The poll was conducted Saturday and Sunday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
There has not been a poll, however, in Pennsylvania, where Obama had narrowed Hillary Clinton's lead to single digits leading up to the April 22 primary, a must win for her.

well, first of all, it's phrased wrong. the poll question presumes that all "small town voters" are somehow hung up on something.
but only 56%? what the hell is the matter with people? and that only 43% of the dems disagree with the ststements . . . well, maybe the
Jedi Master Mesmerizes the Obamites thread isn't that far off after all.
