Snap shot trends are bad.

Use this. I actually posted it before.

It shows you how much of an exception Clinton really is.

They aren't, because presidents start out differently and undergo different circumstances.

August 14-16, 2009 - Rasmussen Tracking

Approve - 49% (+1%)
Disapprove - 50% (-2%)

So Obama's current approval ratings are Bush 2004-esque.

Trends for comparison:

Carter Aug. 1977: 63/20

Reagan Aug. 1981: 60/29

Bush I Aug. 1989: 69/19

Clinton Aug. 1993: 44/48

Bush II Aug. 2001: 56/35


By early September, Carter had fallen to where Obama currently is.

Presumably, they're heading much lower.  The person who flinches at a showdown always gets hit.

Having Illinois 7 points more Democratic than his national numbers are actually pretty damn consistent.

Squinting

Can you imagine him at 25% in November 2012? That'd be horrible...

Yes, but the level of horrible would be determined by who the Republican Nominee is....

Democrats should have never wanted to win this election.  This has just been a disaster.  Democrats need to start running away from and against Obama like they did to Carter.

I have confidence that his approvals will rebound by this winter.

Don't blame the cycle. The economy isn't helping, but the real problem is a leadership vacuum.

Obama has no leadership experience and it shows. Bush may have consistently led us down the wrong path, but at least he could lead.

But, yes, you're right, it's time for 2010 Dems in vulnerable seats to shy away from White House photo ops. Maybe even for 2009.

This is a stupid statement on so many levels. Obama is still fairly popular, and is still extremely popular among the base. We have no idea what his approval ratings will be in the next year There are too many things that no one knows about that makes this a dumb statement.

According to Scott Rasmussen's off-year polling, he sure is.

And as everyone knows Rasmussen's off-year polling is terrible. There is no way Kirk is up by three in Illinois. I could see a tie or a close race but not Kirk leading.

How is a tie really all that different than a 3 point lead when you factor in the MOE?

eh I don't really ever factor in MOE's. There's a difference between a three point lead and a tie for sure though.

Well, I see two outliers here, one being the Ipsos poll. But, a poll being unfavourable to Obama, it must be legit. *eyeroll*

Doesn't matter because Ipsos and Rasmussen balance each other out.

Why does everyone conveniently keep forgetting that both Quinnipiac and PPP also have him at 50% nationally?
