I understand your sentiment, but I'm only pointing out that these perceptions still exist among many conservative leaning voters... rightly so or not. For Obama to widen his lead, he needs to sway a number of these folks soon. It's August and the traction he's looking for has not yet materialized. Still, anything can happen.
