I wondered when this one was going to return.  Still, no much change I see, posts still lacking intelligent content for one thing.  Tongue

The worst kept secret on the forum quite frankly.  Whenever I read one of his posts, I kind of imagine that if you could  actually listen to the posts here, the voice you'd hear for him would be that of some bratty 14 year old kid, you know the sort that beats up younger kids at school for their money and has a superiority complex the size of Kazakhstan.  Tongue

I can't find the pollster's version of the poll but it is in this article:

FLORIDA APPROVAL:

"President Obama also earns weak job approval marks from Florida voters, with 46 percent saying he is doing a good or excellent job and 51 percent calling it fair or poor. The voters who delivered Florida's 27 electoral votes — independents — have turned on him, with nearly 6 in 10 negatively assessing Obama's performance."

Approval 46/51

"Coburn in 2012" just doesn't get any respect, does he?

No wonder. That fellow probably thinks that Rhode Island will be in play for Charles Manson if he wins the GOP nomination against Barack Obama.

Ohio checks in with a new poll, and a poll in Florida suggests that an average would be indistinguishable from a tie:



Letter change, but it still establishes that Obama has held his ground in Ohio, all in all, for a year.

I am now changing a letter for Oklahoma. I remain convinced that Obama has about as much chance of winning Oklahoma in 2012 as the Detroit Kittens football team has of winning the next Super Bowl, or of Khartoum winning the next available Winter Olympics. I'm six hours early on changing the letter to indicate "unpolled" -- but this time I am not going to change the shade of Oklahoma.

Not really, no.  Of course he would if he deserved any, though.

Please, Joe, it's only unpatriotic if the president is a conservative, and you're a member of the Dixiechicks. When it's a marxist socialist librul DemocRAT it's totally ok. Didn't you get the memo?

Interesting. Proves approval ratings this early don't mean much.

What I am waiting for is the President's policy of Afghanistan. His ambiguity certainly is not helping the view of him as a leader, and there is really no indicator on where he will turn. In my mind, he might follow the opinion polls on the issue, which might prove to be more negative in the end.

Arkansas give us our first November poll, as shown with the letter K (11th letter in the alphabet):



Which gives no support to the idea that Obama has making headway in the most obvious Clinton-but-not-Obama state.

Arkansas now looks like a likely pickup -- by Republicans in the US Senate.

Yeah, they have to reweigh them, which is why taking the leak ones at face value is just stupid most of the time.

But look at what data one can derive for them. The NYC poll is worthless for explaining how New York State would vote in 2012 because NYC does not vote separately from the state.

New Jersey and Virginia voters said that they thought Obama OK but in one case failed to re-elect a governor with huge political weaknesses (being associated with a powerful investment-banking firm that is now seen more as a part of the problem than a part of the solution) and in another rejected a weak campaigner for the Governorship.

Such happens. I could draw some conclusions about public opinion from exit polls in New Jersey and Virginia, and those would both strengthen the appearance of Obama support. But those exit polls are irregular samples and not polls of likely voters in the 2012 election, as the people who vote in odd-year elections are a smaller selection of voters.

Clarus conducted this statewide survey among 637 voters in Maryland, based on a representative sample. The margin of error is +/- 3.9 percent. Interviews were conducted via telephone by live interviewers between October 30 and November 2, 2009. (It should be noted that all interviews were completed before the Nov. 3 elections.) These survey questions were not asked on behalf of, or paid for by, any client, political candidate or party organization. This study was conducted for the internal use of Clarus.
