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?

D 36
R 25
I 39

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

It's getting old seeing these inflated polls from the CBS/NBC types.

[Sam Spade]

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

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.

[SenatorShadowLands]

At least Zogby can follow a trend, CBS just seems to be like "Hey everything's wonderful, Obama hasn't moved in months, everyone loves him, and there's just a small number of crazy people who could possibly oppose his catastrophic policies."

Exactly and CBS samples are sh**t. They are according no importance to the US demography.
Well it's good to see that according to CBS Obama's approval in NY is from 56 pc!!

Is anyone more horrified by this? The current makeup of Republicans are too LIBERAL? What on earth have they done that was liberal?

The GOP base has gone off the deep end.

Here's how things probably were when Obama was at the nadir of his recent polling:



on the way to a catastrophic defeat before even Sarah Palin (), with America destined again to be committed to Jesus Christ and pure plutocracy as its only available saviors from... whatever.  Enjoy it, right-wingers; you might enjoy this snapshot:

Obama                             220

Indeterminable                  31

God's Appointed Leader  287

You may need to visit an art gallery or a national park to see something more beautiful, according to your tastes. Mercifully the Hard Right won't get a chance to sell Yellowstone and Yosemite away to clear-cutting loggers.

Recent nationwide polls over 50% approval  suggest that we will start to see things more like this:



Note the change in Virginia.

Remember: a few states have yet to be polled, and rules are rules with statewide polling.

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



Much like 2008!

The GOP base has gone off the deep end.

The Independents believe it, too though.  Perhaps there was some confusion between being liberal and being completely ineffective and hypocritical.

Virginia (Rasmussen)

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.

Virginia is now 5% better than the national average ?

[fezzyfestoon]

Uh, duh...it's only 2009.

Yeah liberal still has an extremely negative connotation.

Anyways though all of this Republican radicalism(the bad kind of radical Republicans) is creeping me out. It could be a good thing in 2010 for the Democrats because it will probably lead to more terrible nutjob candidates being nominated in competitive districts but it could also be a terrible thing.

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