Jerry Shuster, a political communications professor at the University of Pittsburgh, said the furor over Wright's comments must have impacted the results. Joseph DiSarro, chairman of the political science department at Washington & Jefferson College, said Clinton's increased lead is not a surprise."Considering the losses that Obama took in Texas and Ohio, and when you add to it the negativity of the comments attributed to Reverend Wright, that's two shots to the body that Obama is having trouble dealing with," DiSarro said. "However, anybody who counts him out is making a big mistake. This is a very gifted politician."
The poll shows the percentage of Democratic voters who view Obama favorably plunged by 10 points to 47 percent since a Franklin & Marshall Poll last month. His unfavorable rating jumped from 16 percent to 25 percent.
Clinton is viewed favorably by 65 percent of those polled and unfavorably by 18 percent. Those ratings are similar to polls taken over the past year.
