Americans grow weary of hearing about Obama
OBAMA EXPOSURE BURNOUT
...By a margin of 76% to 11% respondents in Pew's weekly News Interest Index survey named Obama over McCain as the candidate they have heard the most about in recent days. But the same poll also shows that the Democratic candidate's media dominance may not be working in his favor. Close to half (48%) of Pew's interviewees went on to say that they have been hearing too much about Obama lately. And by a slight, but statistically significant margin - 22% to 16% - people say that recently they have a less rather than more favorable view of the putative Democratic nominee...
...51% of independents shared this opinion, and as many as a third of Democrats thought so too...
"hearing too much about" is most likely code for we're sick of this guy and have made up our minds. Anyone who planned on voting for Obama would be delighted that they're getting 7x24 exposure to the Messiah and that he was crowding McPain out of the news.
Of course, 1/3rd of democrats must be racists for harboring such opinions.
