Rasmussen: 63% Say Trip Does Not Make Obama More Fit to be President
Rasmussen ^

Posted on 07/23/2008 7:44:50 PM PDT by maccaca

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 Email to a FriendAdvertisement While Barack Obama has touted his travel to the Middle East and Europe this week as a “fact-finding” trip, 63% of Americans do not believe it makes the Democratic candidate any more qualified to be president.

A new Rasmussen Reports national survey, taken Monday night, also finds that less than a third (32%) think Obama will learn from his trip to Iraq. Forty percent (40%) say his mind is already made up about policies to deal with the war there. The Democrat has been accused by liberals in his party of softening his long-standing opposition to the war in Iraq in an effort to appeal to more moderate voters.

Only 39% of Democrats say Obama’s travels this week make him more qualified to be president, while 42% disagree. Eighty-six percent (86%) of Republicans and 67% of unaffiliateds feel the same way. The gap widens when how an individual plans to vote is factored in: 44% of likely Obama voters see the travel as a positive, while 89% of those who plan to vote for McCain disagree.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of likely Obama voters say he will learn from his trip to Iraq, but 66% of potential McCain supporters say he made up his mind before traveling there. Democrats overall are a bit more skeptical, with 49% saying he will learn on the trip. Among unaffiliated voters, a key bloc in the upcoming election, 28% think Obama will learn from the trip, but 38% think he made up his mind before going to Iraq.

Barry loves to preen before the cameras. The only thing he likes better is listening to himself!

Why else would he make such stupid statements like when he answered the question, “would you have supported the surge last year if you knew how it came out?” He answered , “No.” It was because he was so impressed with his own opinion, he refused to change it. Now that’s funny since his mantra is change!

Obama is not savvy enough to be doing this himself. Its some political strategists trying to get the world behind Obama, to influence our election. Its that, ‘let the UN run America’ philosophy. Lets make sure Americans know that they will be hated by the world if we don't elect him.

Agreed. The minority 37% are morons if they think this one little trip will give him the experience he needs.

Affirmative Action candidate, he knows he has a job in the senate and is part of some committee, not sure which one, not sure how many states in the union, not sure term of presidency, not sure what action he would have taken on Iraq, not sure about Jerusalem, there is one thing he is sure of and that is that he has flim flammed the press and half the nation.

Poor Katie, Brian, and Chuck :(
No gravitas!
Forgive the Schadenfreude but they have finally been exposed as we have always known them to be. Their will be a backlash from us “bitter and clinging” Americans who will be driven right into The Maverick’s arms.
I don’t even particularly like him but would crawl over broken glass now for the chance to vote against B. Hussein.
That arrogant, stuttering, stammering, and condescending buffon is being exposed for the Empty Suit that the informed public has always seen.
Fred Thompson said it best IMHO: “Electing Obama would be like handing control of a car over to a 13yo during a traffic jam.”
This typical anti-American politician may be great on the teleprompter when speaking to his most adoring disciples but if unscripted he sounds like a complete moron and has never answered a direct question. Even when they are complete softballs!!!
Come on you old dinosaur mediatypes!
You have just over three months to enjoy your dirty little affair right before the publics eyes and try to MAKE history rather than REPORTING it.
I for one won’t be watching and am happy to see that according to ratings I most definitely won’t be alone.
*Whew* Thanks again FR for being here to keep us informed, yet also provide that place to vent. I’ll Definitely be making another contribution towards the FReepathon for the sanctity this place provides.

Why does only 63% think OB's trip overseas does not make him more qualified to be CIC?

It should be 99.9%:-()

LOL!

Well, that certainly won't sit too well with the Effeminate Drive Bys now will it? Especially after all of their hard work and sweat. Why, they've just been working their tushes off for the DNC!

Facts don't matter to Liberals ( unless it is for their benefit ) ... it's all about projection.

Paging Mr. George Soros. Please pick up the courtesy phone. Your puppet needs another blank check.
