The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

[5280]

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

[5280]

My prediction map

198 DEM
308 REP

[5280]

So something like this for the 2012 election results?

226 - Obama
312 - Generic Rep

[5280]

You may as well make all the states toss up since nobody can predict the 2012 election correctly.  If it's similar to 2000, then my map would be the closest

Alaska (Rasmussen)

39% Approve
61% Disapprove

This telephone survey of 500 Likely Voters in Alaska was conducted by Rasmussen Reports May 6, 2010. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.

That's pretty good.

That's pretty good to be bad in Alaska!

pbrower has his maps skewed in favor for democrats, it's freakin obvious he wants Obama to win or he'd cry a river like a baby.

[5280]

That map is looking better everyday. Will the GOP win it back? Yes we can!

Be careful in what you wish for; you might not like what you wish for.  

What I wish for is to put pbrower on ignore cause he's annoying.

I like how CO and NM are surrounded by all REP states, makes you wonder how those two became swing states. Well, for one people bring their dumb politics around wherever they go. You think AZ and CO are the same politically, but that's not the case with the maps we have here.

Denver is the main reason Colorado is a toss-up. Due to its central geographic location, it has sort of become a general hub of the region, thus attracting all sorts of people. Not to mention the ski counties.

I guarantee you if Denver hasnt become so liberal, it wouldnt be so bad to live here but I miss the early 80s before it just blew up. Hell, I live 20 minutes north of the city but the traffic is crazy.

[5280]

pbrower, I suggest you use purple instead of white for the predictions map for 2012, it looks more like a battleground state

[5280]

my current prediction minus the midterm elections

Obama - 214
Opposition - 324

the light cannot be seen at the end of the tunnel, lol

[5280]

What if he failed Kindergarten,

Failing is the word you're looking for.

This entire thread is uber failure with pbrower2a in it.

FOX News/Pulse Opinion Research/Rasmussen:

Delaware: 45-46

Nevada: 40-52

California: 45-47

Pennsylvania: 37-54

Ohio: 38-57

Unfortunately for Republicans, nothing done for Fox News should be taken seriously, even if it is Rasmussen. 

Unfortunately for members on this forum, nothing should be taken seriously about this thread or Pbrower's predictions for 2012.  He skews them in his favor.

Pbrower, make sure to add these.

Right -- when this one is available:

California State Survey of 750 Likely Voters
Conducted September 20, 2010
By Rasmussen Reports

1* How would you rate the job Barack Obama has been doing as President… do you strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove, or strongly disapprove of the job he’s been doing?

       39% Strongly approve
       18% Somewhat approve
         7% Somewhat disapprove
       35% Strongly disapprove
         1% Not sure

...something is wrong with a "news" organization which tries to shape political life by putting out polls that it likes.

FoX News/Opinion Dynamics had objective polling in 2008 -- but NOT NOW!

If I see anything it is the statewide polarization characteristic of 2008.

Balance the two, you have always done that before, especially in North Carolina. You still need to add the other polls too. There is no reason for you to reject these when you take CNN ones.

I agree with what you say. Pbrower, balance out the polls if you only accept CNN over Fox News or alot of people will stop taking your polls seriously.

[5280]

Look at this guy, he doesn't even bother. What a tool!

[5280]

CNN is propaganda as well, it's all how you look at it. Any news station can spew out their biased garbage. Left-wing, right-wing etc...

[5280]

Anybody going to make an updated map for 2012?

[5280]

I'll be honest...Nevada and Colorado seem to be trending left.

I'm not certain Reid doesn't also beat Lowden and Tark or Bennett doesn't also beat Norton.

It looks like the West in general is moving to the left while the Midwest is moving heavily to the right.

The Northeast and South are what they are but there are some bright spots in both areas for the GOP and Dems (south carolina in the south and new hampshire in the north).

Seems like this state is trending left, and for the worst IMO. It'll be a messed up state in a few decades just watch, similar like CA and the leftcoast, runned to hell. It won't matter cause I'll find another place to move.

What I'd say the midwest and the rustbelts are trending right.

[5280]

Seems like his numbers are staying consistant recently, no drastic changes.

[5280]

Doubt it's a misprint, if it were then it would of been corrected.

[5280]

::facepalm::  I would suggest changing Oregon to a midshade of blue (temporarily)

[5280]

I'll just throw those Survey USA polls in this map for fun, it would look somewhat like this for 2012

Generic Rep - 284
Obama - 254

[5280]

This is a Democrat's dream for Obama's 2012 reelection

Obama - 405
Reactionist - 133

[5280]

Can someobdy please put up some maps WITH the surveyUSA polls?

[5280]

pbrower, get your head out of the sand and breathe some fresh air. Go outside, your prediction of Obama winning Texas is far fetched.
