Texas (Texas Lyceum)Sad

68% Approve
29% Disapprove

We interviewed Texas adults during the June 5-12 period, talking to 860 adults, 51% female, and 49% male. Three out of four said they are registered voters.

About a third of the respondents (32%) are identified as Hispanic, 11% as African American, and 54% as White.

More respondents (46%) identified themselves as Independents than as Republicans (25%) or Democrats (28%). More of those who don't identify with a party said they lean Republican (29%) than lean Democrat (22%).

Asked about their political outlook, more consider themselves Conservative (46%) than as Moderate (35%) or Liberal (19%).

LOL, thats an outlier. The only way Texas gives Obama a 68% approval rating is if Obama is at 75-80% approval nationwide.

The NJ, NY, and OH polls look about right.

North Carolina (InsiderAdvantage)Sad

50% "favorable opinion of his job performance"
37% "unfavorable opinion of his job performance"

What are you talking about? Obama is obviously just as popular in Texas as he is in New York!

For the Nevada poll, remember that Mason-Dixon had very Republican numbers in 2008, especially in Nevada, where their last poll was something like 9 points off and they had polls with McCain ahead by high single digits earlier in the summer.

The Texas poll is obviously an outlier.
But then again so are probably the Nevada and Arizona ones.

Obama *probably* takes Idaho come 2012. If you disagree, you have no grasp on reality.


Haha, what a hack. Obama obviously takes Idaho.

Of course the poll for Idaho is a surprise. Nobody expected Idaho to ever give anywhere near a 50/50 divide of approval and disapproval. The state won't vote for Obama except in a landslide reminiscent of LBJ in 1964 or Reagan in 1984. But that Idaho could be close at this point suggests big trouble for the GOP.

You're suggesting that Idaho could be close?

lol

Disapproval is larger than approval. But it's consistent with a poll in Utah a few months back. Obama just might not lose Idaho by a large double-digit margin in 2012.

New polls, some weird.



Go figure. Who is the Texas Lyceum? How could anyone poll a 68% approval rating for Obama in Texas when he slips below 50% in Florida?

Florida is in bad shape right now. Apparently Crist hugging Obama hasn't helped either here.

According to Obama's approval ratings map, this is the 2012 election map I came up with an average Republican opponent.  It's only speculation.

The closer to dark green, Obama wins that state.  Light green and yellow, Republicans win that.

Indeed.

Obama does 9% worse compared with the US (55%), but got only 2% less in the election ?

Unlikely ...

Not at all. All that needs to happen is that he goes up elsewhere, or remains relatively stable elsewhere.

The people they polled claim to have voted for McCain by five points and John Cornyn by two. IIRC that's not quite how the elections turned out.

Pretty good approval ratings, considering that they included the "fair" option. I hate when they do that, it doesn't give us a clear picture. Ask if they approve or disapprove, much simpler in my opinion.

It looks like Obama's approval ratings in the Rust Belt are holding up well.

I modified the Nevada poll to give preference to a "favorable/unfavorable" rating.



Current projection, and oh can it change!

Why is Montana pink along with the Dakota's?  Montana hasn't been polled yet neither has ND.
