Brand new Rasmussen has him back up to negative 47-52 nationwide. Fascinating!

So brace yourselves for the next round of right-wing media attacks.

On the RCP average chart, Obama's disapproval has peaked Dec. 3 and is now falling again:

Going with registered voters for CA.

Liberals and secular humanists might want to get their passports ready and learn some foreign language at a level stronger than that of a  phrasebook if they want to live in a free country after January 2017.

55-59% medium red (50% saturation)

Q-Poll: Obama down to 38/57, Generic ballot 41-38 R.

[Lief 🗽]

Pew Poll: Obama's approval rebounds, up to 45-49

[Bandit3 the Worker]

RCP does of course count the Q poll, but not the Pew poll.

[publicunofficial]

CBS/NYT: Obama's approval is 42/50, up from 37/57 last month.


Specifically on his handling of healthcare, 41% approve while 55% disapprove. In November it was 32/65.


Congressional approval is 10/83, down from 11/85.

Finally the dead cat bounce has arrived.

They do include the Pew poll (look at USAToday/Pew):

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html

Interesting that RV in that poll disapprove 43-51, while unregistered adults approve 50-42, which means an overall approval rating of 45-49 among all adults.

The Quinnipiac looks like an outlier though ...

When the opposition Party has no program other than to resist the President on everything and render him politically impotent in the expectation that the public will eventually give in and accept its extreme agenda, nobody achieves anything.

The President shows that he practically needs an active campaign to keep his approval numbers up. If you don't believe me, then watch this:

http://www.barackobama.com/president-obama-mandela-speech/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=obama&utm_content=1+-+This+ones+worth+watching+and+passing+alo&utm_campaign=em13_x_OFA_20131210_x_x_jc_12act&source=em13_x_OFA_20131210_x_x_jc_12act

He must appeal to conscience, and he has always done far better in winning support from mass audiences. Winning over elected Republicans who get their instructions from the Koch syndicate is as impossible as speaking to statues.

He's up to 48-51 in Rasmussen now.

Both Rasmussen and Quinnipiac are the big outliers right now.

Take a look at the RCP average (a ton of polls came out in recent days):

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html

Currently, it's 42.3-53.3 on average.

But Rasmussen is 48-51 and Quinnipiac is 38-57.

If we average both, it's 43-54 - which again is similar to the average.

[Lief 🗽]

Rasmussen is the sole remaining voice of reason in these trying times.

Some years ago you would have been executed for a comment like this.

Or at least sent to the Forum psychiatric ward ...

Could it be that he is being disapproved of from the left?

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Could it be that he is being disapproved of from the left?

I think there was a poll a couple weeks ago that pretty much proved that was the case. I hear lots of complaints on the ground that he's too conservative.

It's like how the polls on Obamacare show most people oppose the law, but that includes a significant number who think the law doesn't go far enough.

That gives us two possibilities for the 14/16 cycle... 20 and 30 year old democrats and diverse democrats come home and let us keep the senate and keep us a national party or they decide to just go home, light up a dooby and slam a six pack and we lose the senate and only win a handful of states in the Northeast and pacific coast.
