It's Labor Day weekend...

Why would anyone trust polling right now?

Most of what we are looking at is from before the holiday.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 45%, +3.

Disapprove 54%, -3.

"Strongly Approve" is at 26%, +2.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 46%, -1.

If this was a bad sample, it should start passing tomorrow.

Just over the last 3-4 days.

PPP seems to have worked the bugs out, so I am going to accept its most recent poll for North Carolina.

  Nebraska State Survey of 500 Likely Voters
Conducted September 2, 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?

18% Strongly approve
17% Somewhat approve
10% Somewhat disapprove
51% Strongly disapprove
  3% Not sure






Key:


<40% with Disapproval Higher: 40% Orange (50% if 60%-69% or higher disapproval, 90% if >70%); 90% red if >70%
40-43% with Disapproval Higher: 50% Yellow  
44% with Disapproval Higher: 40% Yellow  
45-49% with Disapproval Higher: 30% Yellow  
<50% with Approval Equal: 10% Yellow (really white)

<50%  Approval greater: 30% Green
50-55%: 40% Green
56-59%: 60% Green
60%+: 80% Green
DC, what else could you expect?


Months (All polls are from 2010):

A -  January     G -  July
B -  February   H -  August
C -  March        I -  September
D -  April          J  -  October
E -  May           K -  November
F -   June         L -   December

 

S - suspect poll (examples for such a qualification: strange crosstabs, likely inversion of the report (for inversions, only for polls above 55% or below 45%...  let's say Vermont 35% approval or Oklahoma 65% approval), or more than 10% undecided. Anyone who suggests that a poll is suspect must explain why it is suspect.

Partisan polls and polls for special interests (trade associations, labor unions, ethnic associations) are excluded.

Z- no recent poll

MY CURRENT PREDICTION OF THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION:




District of Columbia, assumed to be about a 90% win for Obama, 3                  
deep red                  Obama 10% margin or greater  156
medium red              Obama, 5-9.9% margin   49
pale red                   Obama, margin under 5%  135
white                        too close to call  8
pale blue                  Republican  under 5%   38
medium blue             Republican  5-9.9% margin  6
deep blue                 Republican over 10%   143  



44% approval is roughly the break-even  point (50/50) for an incumbent's win.  I add 6% for approval between 40% and 46%, 5% at 46%, 4% between 47% and 50%, 3% for 51%, 2% for 52% or 53%, 1% for 54% and nothing above 55% or below 40% for an estimate of the vote.

 This model applies only to incumbents, who have plenty of advantages but not enough to rescue an unqualified failure.

The notion that the GOP has the ability to challenge Delaware is hilarious.

Coloring white for a tie has nothing to do with Obama vs a GOPer in 2012, its simply meaning his approval/disapproval is tied at the moment.

If that would translate into the election, Obama might not break 205 EV's (redistricting is a factor).

White is for a tie under 50%. Look carefully at my rules. Any changes that I have made are either to add information or to change the general appearance. Others would violate consistency, and I am not doing so now.
