The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

[Devilman88]

Briefly glancing over these...

Unexpectedly High:
Kentucky (40%)
Alaska (40%)
North Dakota (40%)
South Dakota (40%)

Unexpectedly Low:
New York (53%)
Rhode Island (50%)

Hawai'i is just absurd.

It could reflect a reduction in interstate polarization in voting from 2008.

That could be true.

NY (Rasmussen): 57-42

CO (Rasmussen): 44-55

WA (PPP): 49-47

MN -- too many undecided, CA too long a polling period. Otherwise OK.

Shouldn´t a tie be white in your map ?

I don't have a category for under 45% but tied, which is practically worthless. 45% or more? A tie would probably appear white. When undecided are larger than the margin of error one has a poll that says that most people have yet to have an opinion.

Most of the polls are Rasmussen, anyway, and they almost never show 10% undecided on approval of the President.

So in other words you don't want to use this poll because it makes Obama look bad.. Ok, good to know.

[Devilman88]

Obama is in decline. The majority of polls show that he's in negative territory. Ironically, Rasmussen is one of the most positive for him...

It's the news cycle. I there should be a rash of forest fires, then the President's approval rating goes down even if the culprit is an insane arsonist.

lol, you are funny...

The weekends polls are always good for Obama.

[Devilman88]

His numbers always gets better on the weekend

[Devilman88]

Approve 44%, -3.

Disapprove 55%, +3.


"Strongly Approve" is at 27%, -2.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 43%, +1.

While there is a bounce back, those disapproval numbers are off the high.

I'm gonna call a bad poll on that.  +3 Dissaproval is rather odd.

No it isn't, but of course Democratics think anything that shows them in trouble is odd, because they are to stupid to know that the avg america don't like what the Democrats and Obama are doing.

+3 disapproval since the last poll is rather odd considering President Obama has done literally nothing self destructive in the last few days - unless this is related to Hurricane Earl or that new oil rig explosion, then I could see it.

Windows calculator begs to differ.

No all it means it a really good Obama sample is moving out of the poll window dates.

[Devilman88]

Except numbers to go up next week, he's unveiling another economic recovery package.

I doubt. people don"t trust Obama anymore. It's the second time that Obama is strongly down after a speech.

It's the poor economic numbers that have come out that are hurting him, his speech isn't going to help him out so much. I can see his numbers start to rebound once he does his tour and announces this new "recovery package".

What makes you so sure that after his last "recovery package", voters are going to give him the benefit of the doubt?  I for one think that anything he says now is purely political in nature and will almost certainly not be directed at the midterms rather than actually creating a recovery.

People aren't just going to arbitrarily hate Obama because he announces a recovery package. The GOP will, but normal voters are going to welcome it. People are pissed at him because he has been focusing on Health Care and the war and not paying much attention to the economy. His numbers were through the roof when the stimulus packages were signed. 

What the "normal voters" want is not another failed stimulus package that will coast us billions of dollars that we don't have to spend. What they want is for Obama to keep the Bush tax cuts for the time being and for the Government to stop spending money we don't have.

MY CURRENT PREDICTION OF THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION:

I really don't see how Obama loses PA as well as an EV in ME, yet wins GA, MO, VA and it's too close to call in NC.  There's just no way this scenario is going to play out.

Nothing this guy does makes sense, he is just an Obama Hack who prays to him every night.
