If racism doesn’t explain the fact that McCain now only trails Obama in Deep Blue New York State by 5 percentage points in the latest poll, than what does?
A New York poll finds Sen. Barack Obama’s lead in the state has fallen to five points, down from 18 points in June.
The Siena Research Institute poll has Obama, a Democrat, leading Sen. John McCain 46 to 41 percent among likely voters in the heavily Democratic state. He led 51-33 in the June survey.
Likely voters say they believe Obama would do a better job revitalizing the nation’s economy, ending the war in Iraq, improving the health care system, and enhancing the education system. McCain, the Republican nominee, is seen as stronger on fighting terrorism and enhancing America’s strength in the world.
I can’t believe Sexy Sarah and all the McCain lies that the media is willing to repeat ad nauseam is the reason for Obama’s precipitous drop in the polls in New York. Maybe after Wall Street completely collapses people will regain their senses, but so far the only explanation I have is that a lot of people, even in a blue state, don’t want to let the “uppity” black man move into in their “White House.”
