In a dramatic reversal, an Associated Press-Yahoo! News poll found
that a clear majority of Democratic voters now say Sen. Barack Obama
has a better chance of defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in
November than Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
While Obama and Clinton are both sustaining dents and dings from
their lengthy presidential fight, the former first lady is clearly
suffering more. Democratic voters no longer see her as the party's
strongest contender for the White House.
Voters of all types have gotten a better sense of Obama, who was an
obscure Illinois legislator just four years ago. As more people moved
from the "I don't know him" category in the AP-Yahoo! News poll, more
rated Obama as inexperienced, unethical and dishonest. And 15 percent
erroneously think he's a Muslim, thanks in part to disinformation
widely spread on the Internet.
But Obama's positive ratings have climbed as well, while Clinton —
widely known since the early 1990s — has been less able to change
people's views of her. And when those views have shifted, it has hurt
her more than helped.
The New York senator's ratings for being honest, likable, ethical and
refreshing have fallen since January, and Obama scores higher than
she does in all those categories.
In late January, before Obama scored 11 straight primary and caucus
victories, 56 percent of Democrats saw Clinton as the stronger
nominee, compared to 33 percent for Obama. Now, Obama leads on that
question, 56 to 43 percent.
Still, the poll, conducted by Knowledge Networks, contains some
worrisome signs for the first-term senator. Those rating him as "not
at all honest," for example, jumped from 18 percent last fall to 27
percent in April. It came as he was put on the defensive over
incendiary comments by his former pastor. But many holding such views
are Republicans or conservative independents, who would be unlikely
to vote in a Democratic primary or support a Democrat in the fall,
anyway.
The most encouraging sign for Obama is that many Democrats who
previously saw Clinton as their party's best hope now give him that
role. About one-third of them still prefer Clinton, but they have
lost confidence in her electability.
"I would love to vote for Hillary," said Nancy Costello of Bellevue,
Ky., one of the more than 1,800 randomly selected adults whose
opinions are rechecked every few months. "I'm 67, and I'll probably
never get another chance to vote for a woman."
But Obama now appears to be the stronger candidate, she said, and
electing a Democrat in November is paramount. If McCain wins and
continues many of President Bush's economic and foreign policies,
Costello said, "I think I would just sit down and cry."
