TIS,
I think we saw the "Bradley Effect" as recently as the Democratic primaries, where Obama was leading in the polls in Mass. and Ca. on primary morning, but Hillary won both handily. So mixed feelings about race still obviously exist for some people.
BUT, at this point, I don't think it will be enough to steer the election away from Obama.
Some people believe race could cost Obama as much as 6 points in the election, and it is the great unknown whether or not it is showing in the polls. On the positive sign for Obama, all signs points to a huge voter turnout for him, which will probably more than offset the 6 point race factor, should it happen.
