Baracklash In Kentucky

As I have noted before, people in Kentucky seem unusually hostile to Obama, and far more so than in any other border state, so Kentucky may represent an extreme case of surging anti-Obama sentiment.  Obama’s general election polling in Kentucky cratered post-Wright, so Kentuckians seem to respond strongly to all of these Obama controversies.  Nonetheless, it seems worth noting that in Democratic primary polling by SUSA, Obama has lost significant ground in the past two weeks and now trails Clinton statewide by 36 in a poll conducted 4/12-4/14.  SUSA sums up the change:

Compared to an identical SurveyUSA tracking poll released two weeks ago, Obama has lost ground among men and women, young and old, conservatives and moderates. In Western KY, Clinton had led by 30, now leads by 43. In Eastern KY, Clinton had led by 52, now leads by 63. in North Central KY, Clinton had led by 30, now leads by 39. In greater Louisville, Clinton had led by 12, now leads by 16. 

But remember, folks, no one cares about what Obama said and Obama is gaining ground daily! 

Update: Their Indiana polling for the Democratic primary, conducted 4/11-4/13, shows the same slippage:

Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released two weeks ago, Clinton is up 3 points, Obama is down 4 points. Clinton had led by 9 at the beginning of April, leads by 16 mid-month.

Of course, everyone seems to be forgetting that ARG Pennsylvania poll that showed a 20-point swing to Clinton and against Obama in one week.
