Most polls show that Barack Obama has the lowest unfavorable ratings among the major candidates. This is probably the best indication that his race will not play that big of a factor. The logic is that most people who would not vote for a person who is black would have an unfavorable attitude toward Obama in a presidential poll.
A weaker point in polls is found in that Obama's supporters still include lots of weak to moderate supporters. However, these polls almost always survey highly-likely voters. One thing that can be seen quite clearly is that the Barack Obama campaign is attracting many people who would not qualify as highly-likely voters.
If these people turn out on election day, then the polls probably won't give an accurate count.
