Rasmussen (June 23)Sad

48% Approve (+2)
51% Disapprove (-2)

28% Strongly Approve (-1)
41% Strongly Disapprove (-1)

Three of the numbers are still within the MOE range from last week.  No great collapse, but longer term possibly a slight decline.

Even if it is an internal poll (thus the letter S) it seems about right in view of other states. This is the first Virginia poll in a long time and I will accept it provisionally due to the absence of alternatives. It seems reasonable.


Massachusetts update, too:



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

43 states have checked in since HCR legislation was passed in the House.







deep red                  Obama 10% margin or greater  169
medium red              Obama, 5-9.9% margin  33
pale red                   Obama, margin under 5% 163
white                        too close to call  20
pale blue                  Republican  under 5%  39
medium blue             Republican  5-9.9% margin  98
deep blue                 Republican over 10% 65
 

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 52% or 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 demonstrable failures.

Only a fool predicts the polls for the next week. More significantly, this poll suggests that if things were as they are now when President Obama starts campaigning in earnest, then he wins about as he did in 2008 -- barring some catastrophic failure that no poll can predict.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 48% u.

Disapprove 51% , u.


"Strongly Approve" is at 27%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 40%, -1.

No great uptick.  No great slump. 

Arguably, there has been erosion for Obama from April/May, but not huge.

Even though Magellan is a Republican pollster, they are really good.

They predicted both CA GOP primaries almost entirely correctly as well as the KY Primary.
 
But we have to see if they are also that good when it comes to General Elections.

Those democrats are doing so badly. Obama is down to 45% nationally and even as low as 51% in Washington. Patty Murray is in trouble and now tied with Dino Rossi at 47%. Haven't those 2 run against each other before?

PPP surveyed 500 Texas voters from June 19th- 20th. The survey’s margin of error is +/- 4.4%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.
