Rasmussen Poll Points to Ongoing Trouble for Obama

A Rasmussen Poll out on Friday points to an ongoing credibility gap on Obama and his relationship with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Just 30% of the nation’s Likely Voters believe Barack Obama denounced his former Pastor, Jeremiah Wright, because he was outraged. Most—58%–say he denounced the Pastor for political convenience.

Even more troubling for Obama’s Presidential ambitions is that:

Fifty-six percent (56%) say it’s at least somewhat likely that Obama “shares some of Pastor Wright’s controversial views about the United States.” That figure includes 26% who say it’s Very Likely Obama holds such views. At the other end of the spectrum 24% say it’s Not Very Likely that Obama shares such views. Just 11% say it’s Not at All Likely.
