Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 44% -1

Disapprove 55% +1


"Strongly Approve" is at 25%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 43%, u.


There is erosion in the base.

It's the oil spill.  When that blows over in the media it will come back up a little bit.  As of right now, it doesn't seem like calling the spill "Obama's Katrina" (as retarded as it is) is helping him at all. 

And Rasmussen is probably a little more to the right, so I'd put his approval probably around 47-48. 

Not really.  Obama's strongly approve numbers were lower prior to Obamacare.  They "spiked" then pulled back a bit.  It really has only been in the last ten days or so that there has been this erosion.  I think the oil spill started 35 days ago, and for the first 20 or so days, those numbers didn't decline.

Now, the oil spill hasn't helped, but it doesn't directly look like the cause.

where are ppl getting the add 10 points to the approval? Just for the sake of doing it?

pbrower introduced us to the add 6 rule, where you add six to the approvals to get what percentage the incumbent will get in an election. I decided I would be a smart ass and add 10. I just made that up.

If you do not add at least 15 yuo aer a rethuglican HACK

It's Nate Silver -- not I -- who suggests the 6% addition to the a[[roval rating six months or so before the re-election bid of an incumbent politician.

Washington update (AL is favorability, and not usable).

Georgia Survey of 500 Likely Voters
Conducted May 20, 2010

By Rasmussen Reports

1* 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 he’s been doing?

29% Strongly approve
12% Somewhat approve
7% Somewhat disapprove
51% Strongly disapprove
1% Not sure:




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
56-59%: 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), or more than 10% undecided. Anyone who suggests that a poll is suspect must explain why it is suspect.

Partisan polls and polls for special interests (trade associations, labor unions, ethnic associations) are excluded.

Z- no recent poll

39 states have checked in since HCR legislation was passed in the House. I have just adjusted the colors for "medium" blue to create a sharper contrast.





deep red                  Obama 10% margin or greater  171
medium red              Obama, 5-9.9% margin  30
pale red                   Obama, margin under 5% 128
white                        too close to call  0
pale blue                  Republican  under 5%  39
medium blue             Republican  5-9.9% margin   66
deep blue                 Republican over 10% 46
 

44% approval is roughly the break-even  point (50/50) for an incumbent's win.  I add 6% for approval between 40% and 46%, 5% at 46%, 4% between 47% and 50%, 3% for 51%, 2% for 53%, 1% for 54% and nothing above 55% or below 40% for an estimate of the vote.

 This model applies only to incumbents, who have plenty of advantages unless they are shown to be failures.

So this would be the map if the election were tomorrow given the approvals:

No, remember you have to factor in the age wave and the plus 6 rule, so this should be a little bit more accurate

This is the second time they polled Obama`s approval in New Jersey, but they didn´t post the April numbers on their website.

The failure that is Chris Christie may be causing people to look at Obama a little more favorably there.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 42% -2

Disapprove 56% +1


"Strongly Approve" is at 24%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 44%, +1.


The erosion of the base is obviously there.  It is too early to tell, but there might be erosion in his other numbers as well.

Three things to note:

1.  Obama's disapproval numbers are tied for his highest number.

2.  Obama's "Approve" numbers are now lower than his "Strongly Disapprove" numbers.

3.  This could very easily a skewed sample.

And Rasmussen has the cristie approval in 50's. Susa is very curious on Cristie. And I think very wrong.

Fact: FDU sucks.

Just a note, Survey USA frequently reports wildly different approval numbers from other pollsters. That's not to say SUSA is more or less accurate. Instead, it's to say that you probably shouldn't compare SUSA numbers against the numbers you get from other polls for the purposes of conducting trendlines.

I think it's a function of SUSA's binary choice: You can either approve of the pol or disapprove. Those are your options. Most other pollsters, like Ras, give you the option to modify your disapproval with words like "somewhat."
