After the Speech: 52% of General Population, Including 56% of Blacks, Less Likely To Vote Obama

Amazing. Apparently the Messiah’s race speech didn’t do the magic the media made it out to. According to the latest Insider Advantage/Majority Opinion poll, 82% of voters know about the controversy surrounding Obama with regards to Wright. But as Karl notes:

Of those who knew about the controversy and the speech, 52% said it made them less likely to vote for him.  Moreover, 56% of blacks said the speech made them less likely to vote for him.

Gee, think maybe it was possible to denounce Wright without the general African American population? Someone make sure Andrew Sullivan and Chris Matthews are alright.
