Obama Leading In Latest Gallup National Tracking Poll - Wright Controversy Had No Major Impact

Poll shows Obama back to pre-Wright levels ... After over a week of speculation by the mainstream media over whether the Rev. Wright "scandal" would wreck Barack Obama's campaign, the numbers are in. The result? It won't.

Obama took a hit in national polls earlier in the week, but as I stated a few days ago, the hit was short term and he is now once again leading in Gallup's national tracking poll.


CBS poll:
- 69% of those who saw or heard about the speech said Obama did a good job.
- 71% said Obama did a good job explaining the Wright situation.
- 70% said the Wright controversy has had no impact on who they support.
Out of the remaining 30%, 14% actually said that the situation has made them MORE LIKELY to support Obama.
