The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

[Rowan]

Rasmussen polls on a monthly cycle. He'll poll New Hampshire when it comes up in the cycle. Look at the date he did it last month, and he'll do it again approximately the same date in this month.

[Rowan]

Why is that Pbrower just ignores the posts where someone calls him out?

Indiana (SurveyUSA)

34% Approve
57% Disapprove

This SurveyUSA poll was conducted by telephone in the voice of a professional announcer. Respondent households were selected at random, using a registration  based sample (RBS) provided by Aristotle, of Washington DC. All respondents heard the  questions asked identically. The calls were conducted from April 22 through 26.

UGLY! How did he actually win that state again? Haha.

Because John McCain was a lousy candidate?

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?

Because they have a long history of polling in New Jersey.

Rasmussen (June 20)

43% Approve (+1)
57% Disapprove (nc)

28% Strongly Approve (+3)
44% Strongly Disapprove (-1)

Obama SURGEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Rowan]

You need to add 10% because it is Republican HACK Rasmussen.

[Rowan]

We´ll get some more numbers later today from Rasmussen and PPP:

* Colorado
* California
* Oregon
* Virginia

Where do you find (on Rasmussen) where it says he'll be polling next?

Go to the website and on the left it says "Sign Up For Free Daily Updates". Just enter your e-mail address and you will get an e-mail each morning. In the e-mail it has what he plans on releasing during the day.

Gallup: 42/49

Ouch.

[Rowan]

Alaska polling is notoriously....bad.

[Rowan]

So only having 48% approval in WA means he is in the positives still on you map?

You're clearly forgetting the rule of adding 6 to Democratic candidate numbers.

[Rowan]

I don't even get the whole "Democrat" thing. I mean, I know it's a sure sign that the person speaking is a hack, but other than that... is it some kind of play on the word "rat"?

Some people think it's hilarious apparently.

[Rowan]

But yet PPP polls are fine? They both should be included.

PPP always measures approvals, not favorables.

I know. But Pbrower was making a partisan decision and I was just pointing that out.

[Rowan]

Pbrower picking and choosing what to include on the map? I don't believe it!

[Rowan]

Pbrower, no one in America even knows or cares about the Ryan budget. Please get out of your political bubble for once and look at things objectively.

[Rowan]

Rasmussen is starting a weekly presidential generic ballot now. Where should that be posted?

[Rowan]

Rasmussen is starting a weekly presidential generic ballot now. Where should that be posted?

Probably in the General Election section, but a Generic Ballot is useless and especially done on a weekly basis ...

What a waste of money.

All he had to do was add a question to his nightly tracking poll.

[Rowan]

This reminds me of their poll from 2010 that had Paladino performing really well.

[Rowan]

Under 40% for the first time in Gallup polling:

Approve: 39%(-3%)

Disapprove: 54%(+3%)

[Rowan]

Gallup at 38%. New low.

[Rowan]

Clearly that low rating is because all of his east coast supporters were evacuated from their homes or knocked offline.
