The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

[Farage]

Minnesota Preview
 
Tomorrow we're releasing a poll looking at how Minnesota voters view Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, and Tim Pawlenty and how Obama does in a head to head against the Republicans.

There is some good news for Republicans in the numbers, but here are a couple key points:

-Only 6% of respondents who say they approve of Obama's job performance indicated they would support Pawlenty against him- not much of a 'home field' advantage for the state's Governor.

-As for Palin, well, all I can say is Goldwater.

tender you forgot to add texas ...

The Texas poll today pitted Obama against Romney, and although it gave a slight lead to Obama, it was something like 39-36 with so many undecided (obviously!) that it is worthless even at its purpose. 

I'm surprised that so few Texas voters know about Romney.

Job Approval / Disapproval
Gov. Perry: 42 / 32
Pres. Obama: 43 / 46

CBS News:

57% Approve
32% Disapprove

This poll was conducted among a random sample of 944 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone July 9-12, 2009. Phone numbers were dialed from samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher.

Obama comes down to earth in North Carolina:

Let's see what happens after he's back in the USA for a few days when he can address American audiences.

Obama comes down to earth in North Carolina:

... and still close. I thought that the Lyceum poll was an outlier.

Face it: if Obama is close in Texas in 2012, the GOP nominee is in deep trouble. I can think of at least one of whom many now tout as a likely challenger for the nomination (Barbour) who would probably lose. 

this map must be independent not partisan. ANd BTW the matchup was against Romney who has -at the moment- no appeal in texas. If it was against Huckabee it might be between +5 and +10 for huckabee ...

from diageo's poll:

Looking ahead to 2012, if the presidential election were held today, would you
vote to reelect Barack Obama or would you like to see someone else become President?

Definitely Re-elect Obama 31%
Probably Re-elect Obama 12%
TOTAL RE-ELECT 43%
Probably Someone 6%
Definitely Someone 33%
TOTAL SOMEONE  39%
Too early to decide 13%
Don’t Know / Refused 6%

Of course, only the right leaning pollsters are ever fair...

no that's not my point
before election day
rasmussen had obama leading by 6 while newsweek had obama leading by 13 or something.
I was laughing of loud ...

[Farage]

and according to newsweek, 35 pc of americans are liberal.

Rasmussen:

Approve 49%
Disapprove 51%

=o

Ahh, Obama's first negative approval. Given how different Rasmussen is compared to others, I expect the nexting polling to give Obama a negative approval will be early August.

that's good news ... for obama

[Farage]

I still think Obama will be a popular president. I'm also thinking that his lowest rate may be 45 pc but he will, like every president before, regain popularity. I think that he's calculating what he's doing and BTW he is smarter than Bush or Clinton.
He has and will always have a strong popularity among Blacks and Liberals, having 2/3 or at least 1/2 of the latino support and at least 40 pc of the White support.
American Electoral Landscape is changing and the only descent republican for the future is Charlie Crist

I whole heartedly agree with that. Future Senator Crist should run in 2016.

Why so His scandals can become national and destroy any chances for the GOP to win  in 2016 or 2020?

Crist has too many skeletons in the closet.

well quote them ...

Gallup today:

56-38 (+2, -2)

the bounce ...

[Farage]

Gallup just released 50 states, but they are from January-June polling so I have no idea what to make of it. Pretty much meaningless numbers.
