The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

[You kip if you want to...]

America is starting to realize why we elected Republicans- they didn't screw things up.

Ahem...

[You kip if you want to...]

What will be the next state to go? New Mexico?

I have a feeling that Obama's bottomed out (for now) more green will crop up.

[You kip if you want to...]

Zogby Poll:

Approve - 31%
Disapprove - 64%

Obama to announce resignation on 22/06/10.

Source?

[You kip if you want to...]

Source for which?

I was asking for a source for that Zogby poll.

[You kip if you want to...]

Does Obama deserve to be reelected?

yes 44%
no 52%

Those types of questions are redundant. Only match-ups with actual people matter.

@ Rasmussen today:

50% Approve (+1)
50% Disapprove (-1)

When was Obama last at 50 or above on Rass? What's this bounce in aid of? The taliban leader who was found?

It could be. Note that the captive is the Taliban's top military leader. Such likely throws the Taliban into disarray and makes its defeat more likely.

Good news gets good polling results even if the President has little to do with the cause of the good news. Does he seem to be the sort to try to micro-manage the generals?  Of course we have yet to know the whole story.  

If we lose a single airliner, look for Obama's approval to drop 10 points overnight as he loses the women's vote.  If something worse happens, Obama will all but officially become a lame duck and will have a challenger to the 2012 Dem nomination.

I still don't get that arguement. You know what happened to Bush's approvals after 9/11, right?

BTW, PPP's monthly head-to-head's are due tomorrow.

hahaha. Just... no.

[You kip if you want to...]

He's really losing his support in the mountain west. Just a year ago there was talk that the region would become one full of Democratic and swing states. The swings in Montana, Nevada, and New Mexido, (and Colorado to a lesser extent) were profound. While I sort of expected this, it's still a strikingly swift swing against the majority party.

Is Obama losing Hispanics in those states, all of a sudden?

Texas (Rassmussen)
29% approve
62% disapprove
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2010/election_2010_governor_elections/texas/election_2010_texas_governor

...Lowest approval in the nation? Doubt it...

[You kip if you want to...]

If MA votes for a Rep in 2012, Obama is done!

LOL, if Obama loses MA i'll eat my hat.

[You kip if you want to...]

I'd like to see this thing without Rasmussen.  Their polls are always more in favor of Republicans than anyone else's and no one objective thinks it's accidental.

But every other company is a Liberal hack company, didn't you know?

[You kip if you want to...]

Historic facts (2004 and 2008) prove that Rasmussen is the best (national) pollster.

Not so much with the states though. And in November 2008, Rass wasn't as crazily different to the other companies, they are now.

[You kip if you want to...]

Gallup for the first time has Obama negative
46 aprrove

47 Disapprove

Obviously, Gallup is a hack pollster run secretly by Rasmussen Reports who are a puppet of Fox, who are a puppet of the Republican Party, who are a puppet of the 'States Rights' Movement, who are a puppet of the Ku Klux Klan, who are a puppet of massive corporations that benefit from picking on the little guy, who want to reinstate slavery.

Don't fall for this pro-slavery propaganda!!!

True dat.

[You kip if you want to...]

HCR boost, presumably?

I think it's more a very bad day rolling off the average.

[You kip if you want to...]

Those state numbers are hideous for Obama, for those states.

State polls tend to lag behind nationals in my opinion. It happens in Presidential elections to.

Hawaii(Rasmussen)

50%-54%- Light Green

Oh wow, somewhere actually higher than those who voted for him.

[You kip if you want to...]

Hawaii(Rasmussen)

Approve 77%
Disapprove 23%

What the hell happened to Hawaii? It was relatively close in 2004, and now Obama has sky high approval ratings there, and the health care plan also gets a 66\26 approval.

A couple of things, I think. John Kerry wasn't a particularly strong candidate, imho, and Obama is originally from Hawaii.

It's a Freedom State.

New Mexico (Rasmussen)

54% Approve
46% Disapprove

This statewide telephone survey of 500 Likely Voters in New Mexico was conducted by Rasmussen Reports, March 24, 2010. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

Not bad. Not much down from the actual 2008 numbers. It was +2 Obama in 2008, now it's +5 according to Rasmussen.

[You kip if you want to...]

Seattle-Tacoma (SurveyUSA)

56% Approve
38% Disapprove

What was the 2008 margin?

[You kip if you want to...]

We're getting Wyoming numbers later from Rasmussen. I think that's the first poll there.

If Obama's not got atleast 55% approval there, then i'll eat my hat.

Illinois We Ask America poll

Obama: 47/50

http://weaskamerica.com/2010/03/11/il-approve-46-65-disapprove-49-54-unsure-3-81/

LOL! No.

[You kip if you want to...]

Why is the Illinois poll not included, other than you don't like it's numbers?

Isn't it a GOP pollster? :S
