Someone else  (typically Rasmussen)  usually refutes SUSA polls quickly except in Kansas.  SUSA polls the same few states.

WY


30%-39%-Dark Dark Red
40%-44%- Dark Red
45-49%- Red
Under 50% approval but approval higher than disapproval- Yellow
50%-54%- Light Green
55%-59%- Green
60%+- Dark Green

I'm nt gonna use the SUSA numbers becuase they seem odd for the west coast, but here is what the map would look like with them

CA, OR, WA, KS


30%-39%-Dark Dark Red
40%-44%- Dark Red
45-49%- Red
Under 50% approval but approval higher than disapproval- Yellow
50%-54%- Light Green

These numbers cant possibly be right.  No way Obama is as popular as he is nationwide in California.

SUSA didn't do a national poll AFAIK. Perhaps according to them Obama is the upper 30's nationwide.

SurveyUSA shows lower approval numbers in general, and not just for the President. Recall SUSA's poll of Chris Christie that showed him with gravely poor approvals just weeks before -- and after -- other pollsters showed him net positive.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 49% +4.

Disapprove 50% , -4.


"Strongly Approve" is at 2%, +3.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 37%, -3.

Either a huge movement, or a bad sample.

SC update




Key:


<40% with Disapproval Higher: 40% Orange (50% if 60%-69% or higher disapproval, 90% if >70%)
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

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







deep red                  Obama 10% margin or greater  158
medium red              Obama, 5-9.9% margin  45
pale red                   Obama, margin under 5% 139
white                        too close to call  20
pale blue                  Republican  under 5%  63
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.

Rasmussen's approval numbers are useful, disapproval not so much.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 48% -1.

Disapprove 51% , +2.


"Strongly Approve" is at 28%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 40%, +3.


It looks like a bad pro-Obama sample is moving through the system.

Wisconsin (PPP)Sad

45% Approve
50% Disapprove

PPP surveyed 638 Wisconsin voters from June 26-27. The survey’s margin of error is +/- 3.9%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduceadditional error that is more difficult to quantify.
