Clinton's own supporters disagree with Ferraro's comments

TPM's Eric Kleefeld notes a new Rasmussen poll showing Hillary Clinton with a substantial lead in the Keystone state, 51-38. Nothing new there, but this caught my eye:
A key statistic from the internals: Among Clinton voters, 39% agree with Geraldine Ferraro's comments about Barack Obama, while 47% disagree. Among Obama's voters, 93% of them disagree.

You know, I actually find these numbers reassuring (which in itself is sort of sad, I suppose). I would have thought maybe two-thirds of her supporters would have agreed with what Ferraro said. It's good to know a plurality disagree. (Rasmussen's polls are push button, so there's no reason to think the respondents were lying.)
