46 Percent (%)
by mabelle55

This is the percentage of voters that believes superdelegates should support a nominee based on the elected delegate count.

30 Percent believe that superdelegates should support a nominee based on which one has the best chance of winning.

While Obama followers would like "everybody else" to believe that HE has the best chance of winning, according to RCP's compilations, Clinton actually fares better than Obama against McCain. And Clinton now leads among Democrats: 47-42 as the preferred choice. Additionally, she holds a commanding lead in states with April and May primaries and caucuses.

Obama has won heavily-Black states (and anybody who denies this is living outside the bounds of reality). But his 20-year association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright (10 of which have been as a PUBLIC FIGURE), and Wright's "hate speech" have not and will not do Obama any favors among the traditional Democratic base: those who don't tolerate bigotry of any kind and who believe -- rightly or wrongly -- that America is the greatest country on Earth. His speech did nothing to answer the real question about his 20-year association with Wright and it once again pitted OLDER whites against Blacks. He dismisses and marginalizes OLDER white voters at his peril. And the polls now reflect this.
