Unity Dissed

It's been over a month since Barack wrapped things up and Hillary packed it in. How is Unity going? Backwards.

In a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey completed in early June before the New York senator ended her White House bid, 60 percent of Clinton backers polled said they planned on voting for Obama. In the latest poll, that number has dropped to 54 percent.

And more Clinton supporters are contemplating not voting!

In early June, 22 percent of Clinton supporters polled said they would not vote at all if Obama were the party's nominee, now close to a third say they will stay home.

A growing number of Democrats would prefer Hillary to be the party's nominee.

In another sign the wounds of the heated primary race have yet to heal, 43 percent of registered Democrats polled still say they would prefer Clinton to be the party's presidential nominee. That number is significantly higher than it was in early June, when 35 percent of Democrats polled said they preferred Clinton to lead the party's presidential ticket.

Barack is going backwards with the base.

Obama won 59 percent of support from registered Democrats polled in June; now he garners 54 percent.

Unity is simply not selling very well.
