Based on almost all of their polls on the Presidents approval. This is one of the first ones where they were below the RCP average.

Umm, no.

They have always been pretty close to the average.

Opinion Dynamics is a decent pollster. I never noticed much of a bias either way in their numbers but if there was one it certainly wouldn't be towards the Left.

Rasmussen poll of Indiana:

44% Approve
54% Disapprove

Pretty good numbers for O there, as I don't believe there is anyone who thinks he can win that state again.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/indiana/election_2010_indiana_senate

Uhh, I think he can, that doesn't mean he will.

It's probably in the late 50's, given the pollster. I'm actually surprised it is not higher.

Oh come on, it's not even a Dailykos sponsored poll and how should it be any higher than that given his national approval numbers?

It's Vermont...

And? It's already way higher than his national approval numbers so I fail to see what you are getting at.

Yeah, that's kind of interesting.

People claiming that President Obama is seeing or going to see a boost in his approval rating due to the passage of health care reform are misguided.  If anything he's going to see a drop.  I would say he'll hover around the mid to low 40s (about where he is right now) for the rest of the next month or two after which he'll see a slow decline.  He'll be in the 30s by the end of the year when Republicans will sweep by houses of Congress, again because of health care.

Sure, people like a winner, and like to support the winner.  But it depends heavily on what said winner has won, and what the President and his Congress have just won is something that the American people overwhelmingly object to, as evidenced in every single poll taken on this topic.  *Note that I said "his" Congress.  The Congress no longer represents its people; if they did, this bill never would've gotten as far as it did and the entire issue would've been dead months ago.

Weren't you a Clinton supporter?

Yep.  I still am.  And I never said in my post above that I personally am against the bill or the president on this issue.  What I'm against are officials who're elected to represent the will of the people not doing their jobs.  When a majority of your constituents don't like something you're doing, you should either stop completely or go at it using a different approach.  The fact is, we need health care reform, but the way they've approached the reform hasn't worked.  So instead of having the support of the majority of the people, they're going to be shoving this thing down the throats (that's what she said - sorry...) of citizens who are against it.  It's going to backfire.

So elected officials should make all of their decisions based on what the polls say? Ridiculous, especially when you get completely different levels of support for this bill and so many other things based on how the questions are worded. Somehow I doubt you would have felt this way even if Clinton was trying to ram through a bill that did a lot more than this one does.

Based upon the 2010 projections and current approval ratings in the 40% range, if the election were held today, the Republican would win with about 338 electoral votes.

No.

Per Quinnipiac, Obama back at positive approval in Florida

50% approve

45% disapprove

http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1297.xml?ReleaseID=1446

Pretty surprised by that tbh.

Same here. It could be wrong but Quinnipiac is usually pretty good and it doesn't look that ridiculous, I suppose.

Obama is up to 52% approval on Gallup. The highest of the year I believe.

And only at 41% disapproval.
