New survey shows 'Obama Fatigue' setting in

Probably because people keep doing surveys about Obama

A new poll by the Pew Research Center shows that Barak Obama's media dominance may be backfiring.  Nearly half (48%) of Pew's interviewees stated that they have been hearing too much about Obama lately that has caused them to obtain a less favorable view of him as of late.  

In contrast, Pew's respondents said they want to hear more, not less about Republican John McCain.  Just 26% in the poll said they had heard too much about McCain, while a larger number (38%) reported that they had heard too little about the putative Republican candidate.

Ironically, the conversation about Obama Fatigue will continue the conversation about Obama. But this is good news for John McCain, as McCain Fatigue would likely be a term employed by Jay Leno to poke fun at his age.
