Clinton’s efforts are backfiring, the Wright blow-up held in check, McCain-not so hot, look at these numbers (MOE +/3.7%):

Favorability Rating: Obama 49% positive - 32% negative; Clinton 35%p - 43%n

Gen Election Matchup: Obama 44% - McCain 42%; Clinton 44% - McCain 46%

Would the candidate be successful at uniting the country:

Obama 60% yes; McCain 58% yes; Clinton 46% yes (can anyone say polarizing?)

On the Wright issue, 32% said Obama addressed it sufficiently while 26% said he needed to say more and 31% didn’t see any of the speech (they were off-planet apparently).

Overall, it looks like the whole thing didn’t hurt Obama too much, he only gained about 4 points in negative ratings since the last poll. Obviously, its only one poll and I don’t put entire faith in one poll–just to be clear, but its more positive than otherwise so its a good step in the right direction. Maybe it’ll get Hillary to cut out the garbage talk and focus on her own campaign rather than trying to disparage Obama all the time.
