Duke, I told you in February/March what was going on within the Republican party (or where it's headed for the time being).  I'll repeat it if I have to, but it was as obvious then as now.

Yeah, it's just my first Labor Day in which I wanted to look at the polls.  Just got into politics last year.

Obama went down in today's Gallup:

Favorable: 53% (-2)
Unfavorable: 40% (+2)

Close to where Bush was 8 years ago and he didn't even propose a health care plan.

September 7–10, 2001: Bush 51% approve, 39% disapprove. The final Gallup poll of our pre-war era.

No need to repeat your little caveat. I remember what you said. No matter what happens, the Republican Party is still the lesser of the two evils when it comes to the things I care about.

What do you care about?  And I mean this in a serious sense.

I never thought that he would drop below 60% in Massachusetts.

[waiting for people to start complaining about the fact that it is Rasmussen]

I just went and fooled around at Pollster.com and interestingly, the most drastic change was removing Rasmussen.  The lines were much cleaner and the points were much closer together.  And his net approval jumped.  No other filters did that.

Rasmussen has Obama at 50 nationwide, Mass is at 58%. Mass was D+8 in November. So it's about right.

Nothing really new:



This time orange indicates that a state had a positive poll for Obama when it was last polled, but long ago and now unlikely to have any value.

White would be for an exact tie.

How old is NE-02? I know Obama's more popular there, but he only got 49% of the vote on election day. I doubt he still has a 50% approval there.

Yeah, NE-02 should probably be orange.

Yes, Rasmussen is a large outlier (that and Pollster adds a new Rasmussen poll every three days, which aside from Gallup, makes it weigh much, much more).

Obama's still doing decent nationwide, and he won NE-02, so it'd be close. But once you factor in the Age Wave, Obama would comfortably win it if the election was today.

The South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and  Utah polls are from the winter of 2009. That from NE-02 is much newer, and the district votes very differently from the rest of Nebraska.

If the state is re-apportioned in a way in which Nebraska's Congressional districts are allotted latitudinally  (so that districts split Omaha) instead of longitudinally, then I would make the change.

NE-02 votes more like Missouri than like Nebraska as a whole.

I would say eastern CO and western/central Nebraska vote similarly.  Same goes for southern CO and New Mexico.

Obama's Illinois approvals are almost as surprising as his Massachusetts numbers, and for the same reason.
