The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

THE SANFORD BUMP!!!11!!!!1!!

Why are people always pissing on Pbrower2a? As i understand it, he's not claiming that Obama will win this type of electoral victory in 2012, he just makes maps that take into account the polling data of today and then makes a projection of how it can be in 2012 if everything stays like it is today.
Things will stay like today? not likely. Is this unnecessary? You could say so. A bit dense? definitely. But apart from that i don't see anything wrong with what he's doing with the maps.

Even in his last post he said "I do not claim that either will happen"

Of course i could be mistaken but I've seen no indication that this guy thinks that the data for today will be exactly what will happen in 2012

Wasn't he 48 - 51 yesterday? or did you make a typo?

[Edu]

I just looked at some the Rasmussen polls you posted during the past 2 or 3 months and the 28% number of strongly approve seems to be consistent with what he had before (as far as i can tell these past 2 months he was always hovering from 26% or 27% to 30% or 31%).
Not saying you are wrong or anything, but i just don't really see an "erosion".

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 42% -2

Disapprove 55% , +3.


"Strongly Approve" is at 24%, -3.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 42%, +1.



While it looks like a big drop, all movement is within the MOE.

It's 45-55, not 42-55

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 45% u.

Disapprove 55% , -1.


"Strongly Approve" is at 24%, u.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 42%, u.

It's 45-54. And it says that 41 strongly dissaprove, not 42.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 48%, +2.

Disapprove 51%, -1.


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

If there there are out of range pro-Obama numbers tomorrow, there is probably a solid shift toward Obama.

If this happens, any idea why?

[Edu]

So this is the 5th straight day that Obama's numbers have improved. Nice.

Is there a post-debate sample in there?
