Obama Fatigue

As he has since January, this week, Barack Obama enjoyed much more visibility as far as the public was concerned than did John McCain. By a margin of 76% to 11% respondents in Pew's weekly News Interest Index survey named Obama over McCain as the candidate they have heard the most about in recent days. But the same poll also shows that the Democratic candidate's media dominance may not be working in his favor. Close to half (48%) of Pew's interviewees went on to say that they have been hearing too much about Obama lately. And by a slight, but statistically significant margin - 22% to 16% - people say that recently they have a less rather than more favorable view of the putative Democratic nominee.

Not surprisingly, a very large number of Republicans say they have heard too much about Obama lately. But 51% of independents shared this opinion, and as many as a third of Democrats thought so too.

The "All Obama; All of the time" media train is finding out their conductors are on the wrong track...

He's an empty suit, and no matter how the press touts him up and avoids scrutinizing him, the rest of the country knows he's nothing but another Chicago ward heeler with no principles. McCain could go play in Bermuda from now til November, and still beat him.
