Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 49% +1

Disapprove 51%


"Strongly Approve" is at 31%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 41%, -1.

Obamacare probably rallied the base.



Obama would win with that. Add about 3% to the "Approve" and you get a fair estimate of the vote. A reason: many of those who disapprove of him as President will find no viable alternative among Republicans and will either not vote or will vote for a third-party candidate.

 

I'm just reporting, not predicting the general, which is about 2 1/2 years away.

Sure. Much will happen in the next 31 months and that will decide the 2012 election. I have simply said that 49% approval results in an Obama win at election time.

It's the "Age Wave" that's doing it, along with HCR. By the end of next week, Obama's approval ratings will be around 60%, and above 50% in every state except Oklahoma and Alabama.

A bit strange that SC's approval ratings are higher than NC.

What the hell happened to Hawaii? It was relatively close in 2004, and now Obama has sky high approval ratings there, and the health care plan also gets a 66\26 approval.

A couple of things, I think. John Kerry wasn't a particularly strong candidate, imho, and Obama is originally from Hawaii.

Gallup is bizarre, Approve is -1, Disapprove is +2.

It is proably adding to the disapproval from undecided

Hawaii, first time in a long time. 



Key:


<40% with Disapproval Higher: 40% Orange (50% if 60% or higher disapproval)
40-44% with Disapproval Higher: 50% Yellow  
45-49% with Disapproval Higher: 30% Yellow
<50% with Approval Equal: 10% Yellow (really white)

<50%  Approval greater: 30% Green
50-55%: 40% Green
56-60%: 60% Green
>60%: 80% Green


Months:

A -  January     G -  July
B -  February   H -  August
C -  March        I -  September
D -  April          J  -  October
E -  May           K -  November
F -   June         L -   December

C* -- March 2010, after the passage of health Care Reform legislation in the House.

S - suspect poll (examples for such a qualification: strange crosstabs, likely inversion of the report (for inversions, only for polls above 55% or below 45%...  let's say Vermont 35% approval or Oklahoma 65% approval), and more than 10% undecided. Anyone who suggests that a poll is suspect must explain why it is suspect.

Z- no recent poll (maximum 180 days) before December 1, 2009 except Montana (November 2009), which rarely gets polled.

Again, it's "only" Hawaii.

His "approval" dropped as well.  I have no idea what has happened to Gallup.

Hawai'i is intensely pro-incumbent, especially among the Asian/Pacific Islander populations.

And that's one of his two home states.

Approve 47% -2

Disapprove 53% +2


"Strongly Approve" is at 30%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 43%, +2.

The one thing for sure that Obamacare did was was rally Obama's base; the "strongly approve" numbers arguably jumped 5-10 points.  This might have increased his overall "approve" numbers, at least short term, by 2-5 point.

It does not look, other than an ephemeral bump, to have moved Obama's disapproval numbers in either direction.

Okay, so according to Gallup, Obama is in a decline, probably a tailspin, that will result 150 Democrats losing their House seats, a 15 seat loss in the Senate.  Obama losing re-election, and then being deported, when they find his birth certificate in Estonia!

Yes, I'm being sarcastic, but come on.  The only thing there that looks normal is a relatively stable disapproval rate (42%-45%).

If this keeps up, I'm going back to looking at Zogby.  Roll Eyes

Gallup
Approval 48 (-2)
Disapproval 45 (+1)

This is the latest daily poll (March 25), not to be confused with the latest weekly poll:


Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

Any poll before the HCR vote is now obsolete. I now think that the North Dakota poll (44%) is more reliable than the most recent polls for Indiana (39%), North Carolina (42%), and Florida (43%) -- all by Rasmussen. The difference is one week, and a week makes a huge difference. I would expect Indiana, North Carolina, and Florida to be about 2%, 3%, and 4% less Democratic than the US on a whole and North Dakota to be about 10% less Democratic than the United States as a whole.

So North Dakota may be about 7% less Democratic than the United States this week. OK -- North Dakota may have been out of play for Orwellian attack ads on HCR, and the other states were arenas for attack ads (my district in Michigan was, and my Congressional Representative was not going to vote NO). That's not much of an outlier. But Indiana 12% less,  North Carolina  9%, and Florida 8% less Democratic? No way!

We have had only two polls since the passage of HCR legislation, one in a State that Obama has no reasonable chance of losing (Hawaii) and one in a State that he has practically no chance of losing (North Dakota). I would rather see polls for States more likely to make a difference in 2010 -- like Colorado, Ohio, and Virginia -- but that's not what we have now.
