That's the things about Polls and Numbers...
... the only ones that are valid are the ones that support your position or candidate.
One of the comments mentioned Obama talking about his grandmother. I don't know why. When Obama talks about his grandmother, he just digs a deeper hole for himself. If someone relates what he said about the grandmother incident in his speech to what he wrote in his book, it raises more questions about his judgment and character.
According to his speech, Obamas grandmother "once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street." According to his book, she expressed fear about waiting at a bus stop when confronted by an aggressive street person who demanded money. It was his grandpa that interpreted her fear being due to the man being black. A more reasonable interpretation is that any woman alone, challenged by a male street person for money, might be fearful. The point Obama was making is valid, some white people do fear black men just because they are black. How he ended up using grandma to prove that point is dispicable.
