Why is Virginia blue on the map?

Didn't PPP have a poll that was around 51% disapproval for Obama recently?

I believe that PPP is a relatively reputable polling agency...

That was back in November. Another pollster, SUSA, had a disapproval rating in the high fifties. That was the last brown shade for November/

The latest poll rules if nothing less than two weeks old is available. The latest one is from a couple days ago and it was 50-50. It's aquamarine as a tie at 50%, and not blue.


Thanks for the clarification!

A tie at below 50% is better for Obama than a tie at 50% because it implies fewer people disapprove of him and more people are uncertain and could swing back in support of him. A 30% Green shade should not be used for a 50% tie.

It's the lightest shade of green available, a compromise between the pale shade that I have for a positive difference that I have with an approval (or favorable) rating under 50% and a white for an exact tie under 50%.

An exact 50-50  tie is rare.

California (PPIC)Sad

Adults: 61% Approve, 33% Disapprove

Registered Voters: 57% Approve, 37% Disapprove

Likely Voters: 54% Approve, 40% Disapprove

PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government, December 2009. Includes 2,004 adults, 1,565 registered voters, and 963 likely voters. Interviews took place December 1–8, 2009. Numbers in above table are for all adults. Margin of error ±2%.

Party id

NBC: D: 40 % R: 34 % I: 19 %

AP: D: 37 % R: 32 % I: 7 % dont know (Huh?): 24 %

Pew: D: 32 % R: 25 % I: 38 %

In the NBC poll: perception of the tea party: positive: 41 % negative: 23 %

All polls say the same: health care plan is unpopular.

The AP poll is very strange: only dem +5 in the party id but job approval at 56 %... Probably the outlier.

Maybe SUSA didn't do so badly in California -- if one goes with "likely voters". Otherwise it would be another dust-biter for SUSA. Missouri? I need say nothing more.

North Carolina (PPP)Sad

48% Approve
47% Disapprove

"For the first time since July in PPP’s polling Barack Obama’s North Carolina approval rating is back in positive territory. He has support from 77% of Democrats, 46% of independents, and 9% of Republicans. Since Obama’s numbers hit a low point of 45/51 in the state back in September he’s seen a significant increase in his support from independents (seven points) and a smaller one with Democrats (three points). His poor reviews from Republicans have remained steady."

PPP surveyed 593 North Carolina voters from December 11th to 13th. The survey’s margin of error is +/-4.0%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.

Rasmussen has also polled Michigan on Wednesday:

How would you rate the job Barack Obama has been doing as President… do you strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove, or strongly disapprove of the job hes been doing?

48% Approve
50% Disapprove

How would you rate the job Jennifer Granholm has been doing as Governor… do you strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove, or strongly disapprove of the job she's been doing?

32% Approve
66% Disapprove

If he loses Michigan, then it's a pretty easy win for the Republican whoever it is.

Three electorally-large states appear this time (MI, NC, PA)

North Carolina (PPP)Sad

48% Approve
47% Disapprove

Obama slipping in Michigan (EPIC-MRA):

44% Excellent/Good
55% Fair/Poor

49% Favorable
45% Unfavorable

"Michigrim" has an economy in transition -- to a Third World economy, that is, and few people like that. For the first time in nearly a century Michigan's #1 industry could soon be agriculture, a non-growth activity. Michigan's rating is an average of approvals.  The Governor's approval ratings are putrid.

Did anyone notice the crosstabs in that PPP poll on North Carolina? 
47% D, 34% R is questionable, but the poll favors the president, so let it be.
