A Rebound For Obama?

Well the days following Jeremiah Wright's performance at the National Press Club, Obama took a hit in the polls. Now it seems Obama is set for a rebound. Following his press conference in which he distance himself from Rev. Wright, Obama's poll numbers have trended up ever so slowly. Here's the Gallup daily tacking poll:

As you can see, Obama was down by four points a couple of days ago. In today's poll, he's up by four. I'd say that would be a nice turnaround. And here's another poll from CBS/New York Times:

Democrat Barack Obama appears to have rebounded from some of the damage caused by the controversy surrounding his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.


In both polls, Obama has recovered relatively nicely from what is seemingly a temporary hit on his poll numbers. Much has been said that Obama is a "tephlon" politician, where any negative thing thrown at him just slips right off. That could be true, but I believe that Obama is truly a different politician. His appeal to many is that he is different from those in Washington for the longest times. In more cynical terms, he's less "corrupt" than the rest of the politicians. As stated in my earlier blog post, Tuesday will be another defining moment.
