Could be a 5-10 percentage hit in the polls before the week is over.

However zero is headed off on a 10 day vacation to Marthas Vinyard - his poll numbers have always improved when he’s off vacationing

I would hope so. This obscene act is a major tell on the whole obama agenda.

This could be even bigger than the "Police acted stupidly" remark--that was given in July of 2009, and that was the BEGINNING of his precipitous slide in the polls...look at the polls, and you'll see he began to REALLY go down right after that news conference.

REPUBLICAN PARTY, YOU NEED TO BE CAPITALIZING ON THIS!!

Nope, It will have no impact. Anyone who actually gives a darn about America is already on the other side of the polls. Those still on his side are tribal (he is black and that's all that matters) or they are America hating communists. In either case they will support the building of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque.

I doubt that. Obama is around the 35-40 range among whites, 90 among blacks, and 55 among hispanics. This won’t affect him at all among blacks. Maybe a little among hispanics, but even a 10 pt drop there would be less than a pt total. Among whites he’s already near rock bottom among those who could possibly be against him. The liberals and dems will be highly unlikely to abandon him, just as conservatives stayed with Bush. And liberals are most likely to support this mosque anyway.

Given his strengths among blacks it will near impossible for Obama to fall below 40 in any poll. He’d have to be in the 20s among whites. His #s among whites are the same or worse than Bush’s were. But his 90% of the black vote has him 10 pts higher than where Bush(or any other white President) would be.
