Gallup

47% approve (-2)

48% disapprove (+2)

I would guess a bad sample.

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

The -3 net has to be his lowest approval to date on Gallup, correct?

Yes, and I still expect it's caused a bad sample.  If there is a still a problem by Tuesday-Wednesday, it might be something more.

There has been, arguably, some slight downward movement in Rasmussen, but well within the MOE.

Obama Job Approval chart - ALL POLLS
Updated April 11, 2010

Methodology (at this point - will probably start narrowing closer to 2010 elections)

- All polls per state done in last six weeks (must be started after Feb 21 for this week), maximum one poll per firm.
- Other polls done in last six months can be included, but no more than three polls per state can be outside the six week envelope and if more than three polls done in last six weeks, no polls before that.  (also if one poll done in last six weeks, then only two can be included in six month period, two polls, then one, etc).
- No favorable polls; no excellent/good/fair/poor polls; no Rutgers-Eagleton/Strategic Vision/any other questionable company; no partisan/internals, my judgment as to what is prevails
- National number is an amalgamation of 2008/2004 turnout with certain additional variables.
- Virginia Gov/Massachusetts Special polls ignored.  New Jersey Gov polls wouldn't be included under the methodology anyways.

Not going to have a chance to put up the Rasmussen numbers now, but the national numbers for both 3 poll/1 poll = 48% Approval, 51% Disapproval.

As for state polls without Rasmussen, I'll put that up later.  Its extrapolation is going to probably be 47% Approval, 47% Disapproval, unless something expected occurs in my maths.

Rasmussen has been reasonably stable, with a pickup in the "strongly approve" numbers.  "Approve" is arguably slightly better.

The trend has been in gallup that whenever Palin/talk radio takes a prominent role in the media cycle, Obama's approval rating has dropped (look at what happened to obama's numbers in the gallup poll the week of her book tour).  I'll concede this trend didn't apply to her tea party convention speech.

This is the map that goes with Sam's first chart: Blue is tie, Red Disapprove and Green Approve.

I'd say 45% approval is the even out point.

Obama Job Approval chart - RASMUSSEN LAST 3 POLLS
Updated April 11, 2010

Methodology (at this point - will probably start narrowing closer to 2010 elections)

- This chart covers an average of the last two/three Rasmussen polls within the last six months, or simply the last poll if no poll exists in that time frame.
- National number is an amalgamation of 2008/2004 turnout with certain additional variables.
- Virginia Gov/Massachusetts Special polls ignored.  New Jersey Gov polls wouldn't be included under the methodology anyways.

This is the map that goes with Sam's first chart: Blue is tie, Red Disapprove and Green Approve.



Even prior to redistricting, giving Obama the ties, and giving all the unpolled states except WV and MS, he ends up 198 EV's.  With redistricting, they may be net loss of 4-6 EV's.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 48% +1

Disapprove 52% -2


"Strongly Approve" is at 31%, +1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 42%, -1.

A slight shift and opposite direction from Gallup.

Rasmussen, Florida -- Republicans only:

Just 15% of Florida Republicans approve of Obama’s performance as president, with eight percent (8%) who strongly approve. Eighty-three percent (83%) disapprove of the job he is doing, including 71% who strongly disapprove.

Needless to say, the Senate campaign of Charlie Crist has melted down.

Louisiana, Rasmussen... Yawn!

Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.


Louisiana must be very liberal on sex, but not much else: David Vitter is leading Charlie Melancon by a huge margin in the Senate race, 52-36. Marginal improvement for President Obama, not that it is likely to matter.




Mixed approval and favorability (the latter California, Georgia, Michigan, and Ohio 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 (All polls are from 2010):

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

28 states have checked in since HCR legislation was passed in the House, and of these Alabama has two polls saying the same thing; those in Wisconsin contradict.

Georgia is favorability, and 45% favorability suggests about a 46% vote. 41% approval would have about the same effect.



deep red                  Obama 10% margin or greater  144
medium red              Obama, 5-9.9% margin  4
pale red                   Obama, margin under 5%  69
white                        too close to call  13
pale blue                  Republican  under 5%  18
medium blue             Republican  5-9.9% margin   55
deep blue                 Republican over 10%
 21

pbrower is missing a PA approval for Obama from Muhlenberg College at 45% approve, 50% approve.

I'll probably update these numbers every one or two weeks.

It is still consistent with the image that I show on my map. 45-49%  approval with higher disapproval appears sand yellow.
