On the Democratic side of things, according to New York Daily News more are people ready to accept a Black President.
The Daily news suggest that a new poll suggests the country is a bit readier to make an African-American President than a woman. While Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are sizing up each other's White House prospects.
The poll found 86% of registered voters say they would back a qualified woman nominated by their party. For a black person, 93% say they would be willing to back the candidate.
The survey also found Americans think their fellow citizens still are a bit reluctant to elect either. Only 55% say the U.S. is ready to elect a woman; 56% say they can see the country selecting an African-American.
Such polls are likely to be seized upon by both Obama (D-Ill.) and Clinton. Each must convince Democrats that the country is ready to elect someone other than a white man.
Clinton (D-N.Y.) remains the front-runner, but Obama has vaulted to the second tier with 2004 veep nominee John Edwards. Head to head, Clinton beats Obama, 50% to 38%, Newsweek said. "Those polls suggest the country is a little more ready to elect a black President, but that gets ruined by reality when you throw in the specific names," Muzzio said.
Though there is some time before the 2008 elections, among democratic candidates for president, who is your choice?
