Is this an indication?

Obama is in deeper trouble than the polls indicate. A lot of the people who respond to the polls don't express their true feelings for fear of being labelled racist. Many of the poll questions/interpretions are probably skewed. For example, "Do you think the government should help the needy?" Of course you do, but when the results are interpreted, your answer to that question will become, "I support increased spending for food stamps."

At any rate, this poll wasn't skewed. In the West Virginia Democratic primary, Obama had an opponent, Keith Judd. Keith got 41% of the vote, a very good showing against an incumbent president who usually draws no opponent from his own party. What makes this especially sweet is that Keith Judd is a prisoner at the Federal Correctional Institution in Texarkana.

Ronnie Brown expressed sentiments that I suspect are representative of most of those who voted for Judd: "I voted against Obama. I don't like him. He didn't carry the state before, and I'm not going to let him carry it again."

I pray this is an indicator of what voter sentiment will be in November. If 41% of his own party would pick a criminal over Obama, surely a moral, upright man like Romney should cinch the election.
