This is the second time they polled Obama`s approval in New Jersey, but they didn´t post the April numbers on their website.

The failure that is Chris Christie may be causing people to look at Obama a little more favorably there.

Hey, that's an improvement (technically)!

[Eraserhead]

FDU has Christie's approval at 44/42, so who knows what SUSA is smoking.

And you are trusting a uni poll over SUSA why exactly?

[Eraserhead]

He just keeps going down, down, down.

There has been very little movement in recent months, so no, not really.

[Eraserhead]

omg the end is clearly near

Rasmussen: SC
42/57

That's actually good for him there, all things considered.

[Eraserhead]

Rasmussen: SC
42/57

That's actually good for him there, all things considered.

But it's Rasmussen so obviously he's really +5 there.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Wow, that was funny.

[Eraserhead]

Rasmussen: Hawaii
72/26

It seems that his numbers there will be outrageously high, no matter what.

[Eraserhead]

Maryland (PPP): 56-39

I guess he can still help O'Malley... if he chooses to.

[Eraserhead]

FOX News: 43-50

Congressional Ballot: 47R-36D

Sample: 41R, 37D, 16I

Interesting:

Obama loses among Independents in this poll by 36-56, but he was leading in the Ipsos poll by double-digits.

Trash.

[Eraserhead]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the new USA Today/Gallup poll that has Obama at 41%....ouch.

Probably an outlier but that poll should be good for a toxic news cycle. 

[Eraserhead]

Wow...I had no idea just how bad it's gotten...but the last 10 days, Obama's approval has sunk big-time. Down to 41% in some polls. Not long before he gets into George Bush 2007 territory.

Umm, Bush was in the 20s for much of 2007. There were a few polls that even had him in the teens. Obama isn't even close to that, although that isn't exactly saying much in Obama's defense.

Big news -- the last US combat troops are leaving Iraq.

Hallelujah!

Until the questions, "Who lost Iraq," is asked or an Iranian problem comes up.

You are truly laughable.

[Eraserhead]

Big news -- the last US combat troops are leaving Iraq.

Hallelujah!

I think you just had your 'Mission Accomplished' moment.

Why'd you quote yourself?

[Eraserhead]

That's really weird.

[Eraserhead]

He's more unpopular than philandering Governor Mark "Don't cry for me, Argentina!" Sanford? Wow! How quickly people can forget!

Or maybe people just think that failing in governing is worse than failing in your personal life.

But Sanford failed on both of those fronts.

[Eraserhead]

What's funnier is the WV approval numbers even though the Dem is the favorite for the senate seat.

Not by much, according to Scott.

[Eraserhead]

If there is real movement towards him (which I'm still a little skeptical about), expect it to lag in the state polling.

[Eraserhead]

Even the Washington Post/ABC News has him at 46/52 now!

OH NOESSSSS

[Eraserhead]

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 46%, +4.

Disapprove 57%, -3.

"Strongly Approve" is at 30%, +3.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 43%, -3.


A bad sample has dropped out.

103% ?

It´s 46-54 (+4, -3).

Gallup is at 46-46 (+2, -2) today.

Some wild swings lately ...

Maybe something related to 9/11 remembrance?

9/11 is still a GOP "day". In view of the 9/12 Tea Party rallies, so is 9/12.

Hardly. 9/11 is an emotional day. Much more likely that Obama's approval goes up slightly in the wake of his speech.

I didn't know of any speeches today. If 2008 is any indication, the more that people hear President Obama, the more they like him.

Question: does he have any coattails? 

Coattails? Really? Haha, maybe in like six states. Come on, dude. Stop trolling.

[Eraserhead]

Deal is clearly filth.

[Eraserhead]

New York (Quinnipiac):

47% Approve
48% Disapprove

(lolz)

Ouch!!!

If you think that's accurate I have some beach... well... you get the point.

[Eraserhead]

Huh? Wow.

I'm guessing he'll take a plunge tomorrow though.

[Eraserhead]

PPP Illinois: Obama 44-49

http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2010/09/obama-in-illinois.html

Whoah. I don't buy that one for a minute.

[Eraserhead]

HC law is more popular than the Democratic Party? I'm not sure that I buy that one but there would be some great irony in that if accurate.
