Favorable/Unfavorable. I think that we had a protracted dispute on what polls are to be accepted and which aren't. EGFP and favorable/unfavorable polls lost. Acceptance of such a poll introduces inconsistency.

No, the poll clearly says "approve" and "disapprove" (page 6).

The favorable numbers are

33% Favorable
55% Unfavorable
12% Neutral

Missouri State Survey of 750 Likely Voters
Conducted July 27, 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?

    31% Strongly approve
    13% Somewhat approve
       7% Somewhat disapprove
    49% Strongly disapprove
      1% Not sure



Key:


<40% with Disapproval Higher: 40% Orange (50% if 60%-69% or higher disapproval, 90% if >70%)
40-43% with Disapproval Higher: 50% Yellow  
44% with Disapproval Higher: 40% 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



deep red                  Obama 10% margin or greater  144
medium red              Obama, 5-9.9% margin  74
pale red                   Obama, margin under 5% 100
white                        too close to call  110
pale blue                  Republican  under 5%  73
medium blue             Republican  5-9.9% margin  47
deep blue                 Republican over 10% 116
 

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.

Has there ever been an election US history when self-described R's outnumbered D's. I thought was the worst, and that was parity.

The thing that's worried me the most about polling this round is how disparate some of the partisan break downs have been between pollsters. Do I trust the ones with the more standard break down or is there really this huge wave of republicans? I have a feeling that its a little of both. Many indies do lean towards one party or another but in most elections hate identifying with their party of choice. Maybe this year the Rep leaning indies have opted to drop the independent facade and tell their true feelings finally?

I know Fox News has Obama's approval rating as one of the lowest as of today. But over all, it's tended on the higher (well at the very least medium) end of the spectrum.

Once again people are using numbers only when it suits them. Fox News, while the organization itself is clearly bias, has had pretty fair polls of Obama for the past 2 years.

I didn't hear anyone complaining about Fox New polls when it had Obama's approval ratings and similar polls of his administration higher than most. But since they show him in trouble? Oh, it must be bias and wrong! Sigh.

So what happened in the last month or two that made Fox News Polls unbelievable? Did they only just switch from being fair and balanced to being right wing oriented? Once again, sigh.

Has there ever been an election US history when self-described R's outnumbered D's. I thought was the worst, and that was parity.

2002. Republicans made up 39% of voters according to the VNS; Democrats made up 38%.

I been working on some new maps. These map are of Rasmussen polls number because they are the only polls they do strong/somewhat polls. What I did is I took the all of the strong numbers plus half of the somewhat numbers and added them together. That would be the first map you see. The 2nd map, is a map of giving Obama 60% of the undecided numbers.

For Example:

State Josh: Obama approval rating:

Strong Approve: 24%
Somewhat Approve: 10%
Somewhat Disapprove: 20%
Strong Disapprove: 46%

46+10=56%, 24+5=29%; basic number(first map) 56% - 29% - 15% Rep State

For 2nd map: 60% of 15= 9; 29+9=38% / 40% of 15=6; 56+6=62%

So if the election was held today the state of Josh would vote 62-38 for the Republican Candidate.



Map one:



Key:

30% shade: 0-5% lead
40% shade: 6-12% lead
50% shade: 13-20% lead
80% shade: 21 and up lead

It's a consensus now that Obama has a negative approval rating.  This is certainly bad news for the Democrats.
