Shocker: Uneducated Whites Not Crazy About Michelle Obama

In what probably amounts to a sneak peek into at least one the McCain campaign’s tactical strategies for the coming months, an Associate Press poll revealed Monday that Michelle Obama is viewed unfavorably by 35% of Americans while just 30% view her favorably (34% said they didn’t know enough about her to have an opinion).

Among whites Cindy McCain is viewed positively by seventeen points over Mrs. Obama. Blacks see it the opposite, with 80% holding Michelle Obama in a favorable light.

Perhaps the most predictable demographic; uneducated white women seem to hold a particular disdain for Mrs. Obama. They hold her husband in the same contempt. Those numbers analyze themselves. Have a look at the reader comments on the CNN link. It makes for a pretty easy sociology experiment. Read through and place the readers in their appropriate demographic.

These poll numbers reveal a sad irony with regard to the sudden kinship that Michelle Obama suddenly shares with Hillary Clinton. For years Mrs. Clinton has been viewed similarly. A smart, successful, accomplished, outspoken black woman is just a bit too much for most of this country to bear.
