Quote:

Barack Obama�s campaign for the White House remains on track the weekend after the barrage of media coverage of his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Obama�s renunciation of Wright. Some of the damage Obama suffered in the wake of Wright�s re-emergence may have been reversed: Obama now leads Republican John McCain in the hypothetical fall contest, but he has lost some of his lead over Hillary Clinton on some key perceptions.
This poll was conducted after Obama�s denunciation of Wright�s statements, something most voters think he handled well. By a margin of nearly three to one, registered voters who have heard about the situation approve of how Obama has handled it, and 52% say Obama has been appropriately critical of his ex-pastor. But more see political expediency in Obama�s actions than see a true disagreement with his former pastor�s statements.
Overall, voters give approving marks to the way Obama has handled the Wright situation. Democratic primary voters are especially approving.
