There was bad news out of California today for Barack Obama. A new poll by Public Policy Institute of California, just released, shows Obama leading by 15%. What's even worse, the poll gives Obama just 50% of the vote.
The McCain camp was obviously delighted by these results. One McCain backer who couldn't control his happiness was overheard saying: "I was so sure we would be down 17 points, so to have it 15 is just great."
John McCain even managed to pry himself loose from a Britney Spears commercial to remark that this proves California is in play: "Who would have ever thought that 35% of all of California supports me." This is truly a miracle.
The poll indicated that Obama is the choice of both men and women, but one McCain backer was not dismayed; "There is a lot more than that in an election, and we are confident we will be successful with the other groups."
McCain supporters were also heartened by the report that Obama only had a 2 point lead with whites. "that's hardly significant," said one, and the media people present all heartily agreed, as they slapped high fives.
The worst part of the poll for Obama was the finding that "regardless of who they support, likely voters trust Obama over McCain to handle environmental issues (52% to 28%) and energy policy (51% to 33%)." McCain backers were certain that this greater trust for Obama reinforces the fact that Obama is arrogant, and overconfident, and they couldn't be happier about it.
All in all it seems like another happy day for McCain, as good poll results for them just keep pouring in.
