And among likely voters it's 49-47. Ouch.

Edit: Although it's hard to see how you can only have 55% approval if 81% of liberals, 64% of moderates and 30% of conservatives approve of the job you are doing.

That breakdown is about 20/40/40 Liberal Moderate Conservative (which gives 54% Approval), which is about the Country's overall numbers.  Though this is California, so that does seem very odd.

Taking up pbrower's old job, hope people don't hate me too much.

-Missouri added.
-California added.
-Maryland added.



Key:


Below 40%: 60% Red
40-44% Approval: 40% Red  
45-49% with Disapproval Higher: 30% Yellow
50%: 10% Yellow (really white)
50-55%: 30% Green
56-59%: 60% Green

60%+: 80% Green
DC, what else could you expect?


Out-dated poll = 30% Orange

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


IF OBAMA WAS ON THE BALLOT:

(this year, Obama versus Republican Front-runner)

 


               
deep red                  Obama 10% margin or greater 102 
medium red              Obama, 5-9.9% margin 99
pale red                   Obama, margin under 5% 15
white                        too close to call  109
pale blue                  Republican  under 5%  5
medium blue             Republican  5-9.9% margin  50
deep blue                 Republican over 10%   164  

------
Total Obama 215
Total Romney 214

Odysseus how can you think OH and FL would be to close to cann today-NEVER!!!

House 2010: GOP:256 +77 DEM:179 -77
Senate 2010:GOP:52 +11 DEM:46 -11 Indys: 2 nc
Governor 2010: GOP:31 +7 DEM:9 -07 Indy: 0 +0
President 2012: GOP:393    Obama:131  Toss-up: 14

There`s a little change in the weekly electoral map forecast. WA moved from weak R to weak D!
If the presidential election would be held today a unknown GOP candidate would get 393EV while President Obama would get 131EV!The 14EV of NJ are a toss-up!

The Senate is 52/46/2  R/D/I!  Senate pick-ups for the GOP: AR CA CO IL IN ND NV PA  WA WI WV!

Governor picks for the GOP: IL IA KS  ME MI NM OH OK PA TN WI WY
but the Dems would pick: CA CT  HI MN RI
(and RI would go Independent)

And here is my weekly house forecast.
The Democrats will get LA_02 and DE_AL, but then these seats flip to the GOP for a gain of  77 seats:

Interesting and highly optimistic... the Dems are not losing 11 senate seats.

Approval ratings against a generic mean nothing, and shouldn't be extrapolated out to draw such conclusions.

Agreed.  "Anybody but Obama" sounds a lot more appealing then "Romney" "Palin" "Gingrich" or any other names that pollsters are throwing out there.

Hillary2012,

 There is no such thing as a "Generic Republican". Secondly, the only way Obama could lose Illinois is if it was discovered he was on a strict all-kitten diet.

Gallup: 41-50

Tied for his record low on approval, but also a points less unfavorable.  It sums up the last year nicely to know that his 52-week high and 52-week low are a year and 14 points apart.

Keep in mind too that Obama's approval rating is among adults.  His 50% unfavorable rating is among adults as well.

So the complaints about Gallup's likely voter model, some of which I consider valid and credible, wouldn't apply to what gallup is finding for Obama's personal numbers among adults.

Olysses-TODAY Obama would lostso badly against a unknown candidate
but 2years are a long time and naturally it will depends who is running for the GOP
I have now doubt that MN WA OR IL DE ME NM will not go red in the end of 2012
but the dems must campaign there and it will not be a blowout like in 2008

but CO FL NV NC VA IN MO are gone

OH PA WI NH IA are defenetily in play

If FL elects Sink, CO re-elects Bennet and NV re-elects Reid in a year like this, then none of them are "gone".

HC law is more popular than the Democratic Party? I'm not sure that I buy that one but there would be some great irony in that if accurate.

That's kind of a big drop.  Was their first poll registered voters?

Same as it always is: likely registered voters.  It's quasi likely voter screen, but one that doesn't make that big of a difference.  Obama is at 47/50 among adults in Gallup, so they are consistent.
