Gallup says Obama's support with white voters is similar to Kerry's. But is comparing Obama's support from a poll in early May, before a single shot has been fired in the general election, with Kerry's support from the exit polls of the 2004 race really apples to apples?

Therein lies the point: six months before the election this seems like a nearly meaningless comparison.
