Even i'll admit that that's hackish. DKos's favourables arent even that high. Is the crosstabs like 45-35-20 Dem-Ind-Rep or something stupid like that?

NBC/WSJ is a good poll.  Don't confuse it with CBS/Zogby.

Zogby = JOKE!

Unless my tired eyes are playing tricks on me, the chart had Obama's approval and disapproval within a couple of tenths of crossing. Then along came CBS and CNN. What a fortunate coincedence.

On Pollster, it did cross yesterday.

Here's how I think America will look with a 52-47 split:


Make Indiana slightly republican and I agree, although i'm assuming that Deleware is a mistake.

Virginia (Rasmussen)Sad

50% Approve
49% Disapprove

This statewide telephone survey of 500 Likely Voters in Virginia was conducted by Rasmussen Reports September 1, 2009. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2009/virginia/toplines/toplines_virginia_governor_election_september_1_2009

Virginia is now 5% better than the national average ? Roll Eyes

That's 'cos Scott Rasmussen is clearly a hack for Obama and the rest of the Democratic Party.

The question I have is, will Democrats ever want control of the White House again after this?  They get into power and then everything falls apart for them.  They should probably just let Obama sink in 2012 and then use the time to rebuild. 

LOL, they're not Republicans 9 months ago.

So, if I get this right, about 50-55% disapprove of Obama, and the Democrats or Obama are all politically dead and the Democrats won't ever win elections again?

k sure.

IT'S TRUE! Glenn Beck had a story about it on his show.

Yeah, but they're hack polls. They still have higher approvals than disapproval so therefore, they're bias towards liberals and communists who hate America...

(...But yeah, i'm liking them polls, they even out Rasmussen's I guess.)

I agree. Republicans are gonna gain 150 seats in the house and 20 seats in the senate otherwise and Sarah Palin's gonna be the next prez. 53% of Americans disapprove of Obama... stick a fork in the white house, this administration is done.

That's NEVADA, not Nebraska. If Obama were up 48-41 in Nebraska, it would be time for the Republican to think of re-establishing a political career that does not contain 1600 Pennsylvania. Obama up 7% in Nevada? The GOP could still win without Nevada, but it would be difficult.



Harry Reid is in trouble politically:

    FAV     UNFAV     NO OPINION
ALL   36    52             12

He needs a good card to stay in the game. At least it's an outside straight.



... but John Ensign is in political quicksand:

  John Ensign
                            FAV    UNFAV    NO OPINION
ALL                           28   53            19
MEN                           31   49            20
WOMEN                   25   57            18
DEMOCRATS           11   75            14
REPUBLICANS           49   26            25
INDEPENDENTS   26   57            17
18-29                   22   58            20
30-44                   26   55            19
45-59                   31   51            18
60+                           33   48            19

Need I spell it out: T-I-M-E   T-O   R-E-S-I-G-N





Time to run for re-election giving the Dems a free pickup. Wink

The ironic thing is that if McCain or Biden was President, they wouldn't be as popular as Obama, but they wouldn't be as unpopular either. Obama's supporters are like "GOOOO OBAMA!!!!!!!!! CHANGE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!! CHANGE AMERICA!!!!!!! KICK THOSE REPUBLICAN ASSES", and the anti-Obama people are like "OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S A TRAITOR!!!!!!!!! LIBERAL PUSSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In fact, there's a lot of people on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace etc who have created accounts solely based on thier love or hatred of Obama.

Why is this? Well, it's because Obama as a glamour President, a different President, by most people. Politicians like McCain and Biden are seen as normal, and boring, by most people.

It's hard not to admit that Obama is polarizing and inspirational at the same time. If Palin was liked by independants, the same would be true of her if she ever became President some day.

Rassy

48/52

We've seen a 2-3 point rise on Rass and 5 points on Gallup over the past few days and RCP and Pollster graphs show a pretty noticable jump. The president's obviously had a better week than other recent ones.

I'm going to make a modification: orange is for polls that I consider indefensible because of their age  and because good evidence in surrounding states suggest that they are worthless:



Rationales:

1. South Carolina and Tennessee are much less Democratic than North Carolina and Georgia.

2. South Dakota is much less Democratic than Montana.

3. Utah is... Utah.





NE-02?

Hmm, he definitely seems to be getting a bit of a boost. That's good news going into this speech and whatnot.

I was reading somewhere that Obama's made a net gain of 17 on Gallup in a week. Definately some momentum building.

Uhh 17? I doubt that.

Yeah, I just checked. The article I was reading was obviously wrong. :/

Since the polls from August 26-28 (50/42), Obama's made a net gain of 9 points.

Kentucky (R2000/DailyKos)Sad

34% Favorable
63% Unfavorable

Do you believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States of America or not?

51% Yes
20% No
29% Not Sure


The Research 2000 Kentucky Poll was conducted from August 31 through September 2, 2009. A total of 600 likely voters who vote regularly in state elections were interviewed statewide by telephone.

Only 70-odd% of Democrats aswell and most Republicans believe it than dont...

I never thought that he would drop below 60% in Massachusetts.

[waiting for people to start complaining about the fact that it is Rasmussen]

Rasmussen has Obama at 50 nationwide, Mass is at 58%. Mass was D+8 in November. So it's about right.
