Poll: Obama energy advertisement fails to motivate voters

ObamaMcCainIn a tit-for-tat exchange of campaign ads with the presumptive GOP nominee, Barack Obama’s latest effort to identify his solutions for high gas prices did little to convince more voters to vote for the Democrat for president.

According to a new national study conducted among 295 self-reported Republicans, Democrats and independents there was no movement in voter support after viewing a new energy ad by Obama.

It also shows Obama lost support among undecided voters after they viewed the ad. Prior to viewing the ad, 23 percent of Independents indicated they were leaning to Sen. Obama.

After viewing the ad, this segment reduced to 11 percent with the balance moving to “not sure.”

The communications research study was conducted July 30-31 by HCD Research and the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion to gauge Americans’ views of an energy ad in which Obama responds to John McCain’s ad concerning solutions for high gas prices.

While viewing the ad, participants indicated their levels of believability by moving their computer mouse from left on a continuum. The responses were recorded in quarter-second intervals and reported in the form of curves.

I guess the bogey man of ‘mean old big oil’ was a flop ... Again, Democrat Marxists underestimate the intelligence of American’s to sniff out the truth.

Yeah, I've seen his latest diatribe of garbage running in Florida. Vapid. Pointless.

But, the LameStream Media (even the local "news" outlets) are in the tank for this hack.

If he keeps losing support no matter how the pollsters phrase the question, then Denver will be a very interesting convention.

The democrats will do whatever they can to ensure the oil prices do NOT drop before the election. They are simply SHAMELESS!!!

Q: What do Obama and Osama have in common?

A: They both have friends who have bombed the Pentagon!
