The issue hasn’t gone away, but Barack Obama seems to be weathering the storm over his recent remarks about small-towners.
The evidence? There’s THIS about the money he’s raising in the hamlets of Pennsylvania.Â
And there are THESE POLLS.
And there’s THISÂ about his biggest-ever lead of 11 percentage points in the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll.
And there are THESE recent polls in Pennsylvania, none of which show any lost ground for Obama in the wake of the controversial remarks.
If this issue doesn’t soon draw real blood from Obama’s standing, Hillary Clinton will continue flogging it only at the risk of losing ground herself.
UPDATE: Jed’s got a pretty good WRAPUP of the stuff I have here and more.
