SOMEONE PLEASE POLL INDIANA AND MONTANA.

Are you kidding?

No one would poll the more interesting ones.

You mean to say New York and California polls don't interest you? Didn't you know that they're gonna be toss-ups in 2012...? Duh...

Utah (Dan Jones/KSL-TV/Deseret News)

53% Approve
43% Disapprove

http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=6306801

How come Utah is giving Obama good numbers considering how deeply red (Atlas:Blue) it is?

[You kip if you want to...]

Finally, Obama's standing in Indiana (to some extent):

Hamilton Campaigns (D) for Evan Bayh:

61% Favorable
38% Unfavorable

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/cheat-sheet/043009-white-house-cheat-sheet.html

That's better than I expected, although I guess his job approval will be about 56-58.

Georgia- Research 2000/Kos

Favorable 49%
Unfavorable 46%

http://www.dailykos.com/statepoll/2009/4/29/GA/291

Wow, that's pretty bad... it's not like he lost Georgia by a huge margin either.

Gallup is a joke. Maybe they should use three different tracking polls like they did during the election. Maybe one of them will be close.

Crap, they're showing what most other pollsters are. They're so terrible...

[You kip if you want to...]

Obama-surge ?

Gallup: 68-26 (+5, -5 in the past 3 days)

Rasmussen: 56-43 (+2, -2)

Is it because of Wednesday's TV stint? The whole thing from the campaign of Obama's numbers going up if he's on TV.

Zogby Internet Poll of 3.367 Likely Voters (April 28-30):

Rate performance of Barack Obama in his first 100 days?

54% Positive
45% Negative

http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.cfm?ID=1691

WOW! Zogby Internet has him at 54%, he must be doing well.

Liberal Democrat Fascist-Socialist Workers Party, apparently.

Didn't you get that memo?

[You kip if you want to...]

Gallup

Approve 66%(-1)
Disapprove 27%(nc)

Inching back down towards reality.

But Rasmussen's back up today to 57-43 (+1, nc).

Reality(to me at least) is 60-62%.

Yeah, it's probably been hovering at that point for a good few weeks. 60%'s a good guess.

[You kip if you want to...]

Wow, that's pretty sad that only just over half of California adults are considered likely voters.

Well the next election is November next year, nevermind presidential.

[You kip if you want to...]

Arizona (Rasmussen, 500 LV, May 6)

49% Approve
50% Disapprove

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/states_general/arizona/toplines/toplines_john_mccain_and_arizona_may_6_2009

That's suprising... So much for it being in swing state territory. Or is that just sour grapes that their senator lost or something?

[You kip if you want to...]

Latest update:

The slight negative approval difference in Arizona looks specious, but who am I to argue?

North Carolina looks so pro-Obama.

More PrObama than Rhode Island it seems on the map, lol.

PPP NC Poll

Do you approve or disapprove of President
Barack Obama’s job performance? If you
approve, press 1. If you disapprove, press 2.
If you’re not sure, press 3.
Approve .......................................................... 51%
Disapprove...................................................... 41%
Not Sure.......................................................... 8%

Eventhough PPP is a dem leaning company, those are still pretty good numbers for NC.

CA-8 SurveyUSA

Approve 84%
Disapprove 13%

http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=2328c94e-0f2f-4290-9293-7d4f2e11cd74

Why?  Just why?

Because it is San Francisco and Obama got 85% there ?

Alas, my question was not one of despair, but of bewilderment.  Who in the world blows their money on a poll for San Francisco?

The poll actually has some news:

Republicans and Independents don't like Pelosi in her own district.

That's suprising, I thought Republicans were totally in love with Speaker Pelosi.

[You kip if you want to...]

That's a very hopeful map for Obama.

I agree. There's about a zero chance that Obama wins states like LA (lol), TN, KY, WV or the western district of NE. AR is also unwinnable. SD and ND are becoming more favorable, but still lean Republican. But a Huckabee has a greater chance to lose them than, let's say a Romney has.

Utah at less than 5% margin for Republican - I thought that was just crazy.

So do I -- but Obama's most recent approval rating in Utah was above 50%.

Mitt Romney will absolutely crush Obama in Utah even if Obama has a 60% approval rating there. But I can see Obama winning Utah against Huckabee, Palin, or especially Gingrich. The Mormons pay much attention to "family values" -- and so far those of Obama look far better than those of Palin or Gingrich (or for that matter Bill Clinton). As for Huckabee -- he has said some nasty things about the LDS Church, and Obama hasn't.

We don't know who will be the 2012 GOP nominee for President, do we? We don't even know whether there will be a strong third-party candidate, do we?

You're probably being to hopeful there. Huckabee maybe though.

It isn't really surprising we have no polls from those 3 states.  They don't have any interesting races in 2010 so no one has polled them.

OT but HAHAHA amazing screen name. Google says it exists aswell. lol

I love how liberals hate Reagan, but always want to compare themselves to him.

You mean the same way conservative politicians compare themselves with FDR, Truman and JFK?

Oh Quayle.

[You kip if you want to...]

My suspicion is that Rassmussen's numbers dipped down because people aren't in love with the GM takeover.

What do you suggest then, leave GM to fail and cause another economic crisis?  If he ratings went down because of this, the American people are too stupid to know how the economy works. 

How exactly would it cause an economic crisis? You liquidate it and sell it off piece by piece. Do you seriously think the government can run a car company? When is the last time the government has done anything right?

January 20th, lol

[You kip if you want to...]

Well Zogby has him at 51%....

Zogby Internet, there is a massive difference between Zogby's normal polls and the internet polls.

[You kip if you want to...]

Current prediction -- for now. Alabama is definitely not a tossup.

Key:

GOP wins by 10% or more
GOP wins 5-9%
GOP wins up to 5%
tossup
Obama wins up to 5%
Obama wins 5-9%
Obama wins 10% or more

Much depends, of course, on who the GOP nominee will be.

OMG, I hope you really don't believe that. If you do go ahead and change your name to #1ObamaHack.

NC and IN before CO is laughable enough.

Hmm, I find it strange to see Gallup's adult voter model having lower approvals than Fox's registered voter model ...

Fox is a liberal commie poll, quite obviously.

New Mexico is really suprising. Wonder what the big drop there was for.
