The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

[Poundingtherock]

Pbrower,

The problem is that you accused me in the other thread of having my facts wrong when my assertion that the NY Times poll showed Obama at 39% favorables to be absolutely correct.

So why not take back your assertion that I was wrong.

Your argument that approval/disapproval is more important than favorable/unfavorable is reasonable but that doesn't change the fact that you were wrong in claiming that I was wrong about Obama's favorable/unfavorable rating in the NY Times poll.

Obama: 40/48 in Texas

[Poundingtherock]

Both Rasmussen and Gallup are outliers if you look at the RCP averages.

[Poundingtherock]

That doesn't appear to be the case as his approval among liberals in most of the polling remains high.

PPP(D) has shot down the notion that liberals are the ones upset at Obama.

[Poundingtherock]

Gallup and Rasmussen at 48% today.

[Poundingtherock]

Gallup: 48/45

Gallup really is one erratic pollster.  He was at 53/40 just seven days ago.

Quinnipiac Ohio: Obama 44/52

That High Point poll is no more credible than the Magellan poll.

Do you understand the distinction between commissioning and conducting a poll?  Kos and World Net Daily commissioned the polls but had nothing to do with conducting the poll.

In any event, the Kos poll is being questioned because of its far too favorable sample for Obama and the Democrat Party.

The funny thing is that R2K concedes in the article that the sample it is using is unreasonable.

[Poundingtherock]

Gallup shows no improvement: 48/46

[Poundingtherock]

The trend has been in gallup that whenever Palin/talk radio takes a prominent role in the media cycle, Obama's approval rating has dropped (look at what happened to obama's numbers in the gallup poll the week of her book tour).  I'll concede this trend didn't apply to her tea party convention speech.

Can we get the pic of the Duke hack Scheyer off the board?

[Poundingtherock]

It's a typo...it's 47/52 in today's Rasmussen.

I think the Arizona immigration law is hurting Obama.
