I don't buy Gallup - 3 or 4% swings in such a short amount of time do show that it is a volatile electorate... but I, in all objective reason, don't see them as reasonable swings.

He's lost ground according to the AP-GfK data, with white voters, women, liberals and younger voters, in surveys taken just after the debt-ceiling debate.

Just for formatting:

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 46, +1.

Disapprove 54%, u.

"Strongly Approve" is at 23%, +1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 40%, -2.

Looks good for a change, but any national polls over the next three days or so are obviously suspect -- whatever they are. State polls outside of the storm zone will be interesting.


I made that point before the storm hit.  Smiley

I'd really wait until Thursday at the earliest before I'd start viewing the polls with normal skepticism.

Exactly. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in saying that that is the last national poll that I am going to consider valid until the power lines are up. The geographic scale of damage is far wider, and the storm affects far more people, than is usual for a hurricane. The states and DC affected comprise 140 electoral votes.

These are common on Gallup, which accounts for the "meh."  Actually these swings are within the MOE.

The main thing that I'm looking for on Gallup is the low point, and that is for historical comparisons.

I am not surprised that that is the explanation. The response to Hurricane Irene will soon matter far more.

ha ha...not funny.  31 is a totally different political reality than 38, because at this point in time 31 would not only be bad news for Obama, it would be a serious bad omen for his successor.

Something is up on Gallup.  Maybe they looked at it, thought is a bad sample or there was a fairly large sections of the Northeast they couldn't reach.  Looking at the areas with major disruptions, they equal 129 EV, all of which went to Obama last time.

Sure.  But I can also say 'transitory' and 'reversible' in that context.

Approve 43, -2.

Disapprove 56%, +1.

"Strongly Approve" is at 21%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 43%, +2.

It looks like a pro-Obama sample dropped out.  I'm sort of worried about the Irene effect on the polling, but these numbers are almost identical to the pre-Irene numbers.

Can you say "When" or "How low will he go?"

Right now, his numbers are lower than any other president since 1970, for this point in time, except for Carter.  Carter's numbers were improving at this point in time.  No incumbent that was re-elected had numbers this low at this point in time since 1970.

http://dailykos.com/weeklypolling/2011/8/25

independents voters: 33-66

Sample: D+6

I would like understand how gallup, polling adults (more democrats than "likely voters"), can give ALWAYS worst results that rasmussen, polling likely voters. On this, between Ras and Gallup, I prefer PPP... Wink
