It’s Obama 53% Clinton 39%. . . . Clinton leads among senior citizens but trails among younger voters. But, it is the racial divide that defines the campaign in Mississippi—Obama leads 80% to 12% among African-American voters while Clinton holds a 47% advantage among White voters.
Clinton receives favorable views from 72% of White voters and 66% of African-American voters. . . . Obama is viewed favorably by 92% of African-American voters and just 44% of White voters.
Think what you will of Clinton and Obama, there is no way only 66% of A-A voters should think favorably of Clinton and absolutely no way only 44% of White Dem voters should think favorably of Obama. Imo, this is the ugly side of the South, I am sorry to say.
Update [2008-3-8 18:8:44 by Big Tent Democrat]: Ironically, this will help Clinton in the delegate count math on Tuesday. I think that with Bennie Thompson's district, a 7 delegate district likely to go 5-2 for Obama, the three other MS district will at least got 3-2 for Clinton and maybe even 4-1. Clinton could lose by 10 and at least tie and maybe edge Obama in the delegate race in Mississippi.
