"MI-3 Poll: Does Battle Creek think health-care reform is GRRRREAT?"

I can't decide if this makes WeAskAmerica my new favorite, or new least favorite, pollster.

Two college polls (CA, NC) and one obsolete poll (MI -- it's from during the HCR debate).




Mixed approval and favorability (the latter Wisconsin only):



The same key applies to both maps. Take your pick.

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.

Fifteen states have checked in, and of these Alabama has two polls saying the same thing.  We can now add California and North Carolina. Because the North Carolina poll is of adults it is not as strong as a "likely voters" poll.  



deep red                  Obama 10% margin or greater  88
medium red              Obama, 5-9.9% margin  10
pale red                   Obama, margin under 5%  33
white                        too close to call  3
pale blue                  Republican  under 5%  14
medium blue             Republican  5-9.9% margin   20
deep blue                 Republican over 10%
 13

It also ends after the HCR debate; thus the asterisk.

The California poll was conducted by Greenberg, Quinlan,  Rosner. If you are excluding the Magellan one because it is a Republican firm, should you not include the GQR one because it is a Democratic firm?

It is a university-based poll with some oversight to prevent undue bias.  This isn't a "poll your buddies" effort.

Oh wow, a poll for WorldNetDaily. That's as useful as a poll for Kos.

Do you understand the distinction between commissioning and conducting a poll?  Kos and World Net Daily commissioned the polls but had nothing to do with conducting the poll.

In any event, the Kos poll is being questioned because of its far too favorable sample for Obama and the Democrat Party.

The funny thing is that R2K concedes in the article that the sample it is using is unreasonable.

The California poll was conducted by Greenberg, Quinlan,  Rosner. If you are excluding the Magellan one because it is a Republican firm, should you not include the GQR one because it is a Democratic firm?

Take a closer look again:

The Los Angeles Times/USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences poll was conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner in conjunction with American Viewpoint, both based in Washington, D.C. The findings are based on a random sample survey of 1,515 registered voters in California conducted from March 23 to 30, 2010. The maximum sampling error for results based on the overall sample of 1,515 registered voters is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.

And WND hasn't got a sample which is far too unfavourable for Obama and the Democrats and far to favourable to the Republicans?

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 49% +3

Disapprove 53% -2


"Strongly Approve" is at 34%, +1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 41%, u.


My guess would be a bad sample, but we'll see.

The horror scenario for Republicans concerning 2012 is taking shape.

Obama creates jobs and his poll numbers rise:

Friday’s report on job creation has provided a boost in both consumer and investor confidence. Confidence is now back to where it was when Lehman Brothers collapsed in the fall of 2008. Since release of the employment data, the number of unaffiliated voters who Strongly Approve of the President’s performance has increased from 20% to 27%. Forty-five percent (45%) of unaffiliateds still Strongly Disapprove.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 34% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7. These are the President’s best ratings since February 1.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

Overall:

49% Approve (+3)
51% Disapprove (-2)

Also: Thx to all for the already 200.000 clicks on this topic ... Smiley

I concur because "fair", in itself, is not necessarily a negative assessment
