The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

[xavier110]

Maybe it's because of the school speech that will be shown soon. Think of the children and how Barack Obama will mold their little feeble minds!

Maine(KOS)

Unfavorable 23%

LOL Kos, he doesn't he try to hide his bias(or just awfulness).

In that same poll, voters are against same-sex marriage

Don't ask!

LOL, I'm not really sure how Ohio and New Hampshire can have even approval ratings when Obama is -10 in Pennsylvania, but okay.

[xavier110]

All of these Rasmussen approval numbers make zero sense to me and are wildly inconsistent.

[xavier110]

Huge Gallup swing

50 (+3)/43 (-4)

[xavier110]

LMAO.............

[xavier110]

Gallup
50% (+2)
43% (-1)

Alabama (PPP)

42% Approve
55% Disapprove

PPP surveyed 1,270 Alabama voters from March 27th to 29th. The margin of error for
the survey is +/-2.8%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting,
may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.

New York (Rasmussen)

54% Approve
46% Disapprove

This statewide telephone survey of 500 Likely Voters in New York was conducted by Rasmussen Reports March 29, 2010. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

LOL

Rasmussen has the same numbers like PPP for Alabama:

42% Approve
58% Disapprove

This statewide telephone survey of 500 Likely Voters in Alabama was conducted by Rasmussen Reports March 29, 2010. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

So he has better approval ratings in AL than he does in IN, says Rasmussen. Makes sense!

[xavier110]

Notably, though, when you compare North Dakota to the recent polls in Georgia and Florida, the strength of that approval is much weaker. (That is, many more of North Dakota's approvers only "somewhat" approve.)

But all that really matters is the strongly disapprove...the 51% who strongly disapprove in GA will not vote for him. He at least is in the mid-40's in the Dakotas, but then again the Dakotas aren't the type of states that would get too riled up about a politician.

[xavier110]

who has been reelected with a 44% approval rating since they started keeping track of that?

That's about where George W. Bush was in the spring of 2008. He won, if feebly, despite being a weak campaigner.

Freudian slip?

[xavier110]

Nationally:

Gallup - 46/46
Rasmussen - 49/50 (SA 28 / SD 37)

[xavier110]

Rasmussen: Hawaii
72/26

I feel so out of sync. When he was running as a candidate / first came into office I supported him for partisan reasons but thought he was an empty suit with a lot of rhetoric who didn't know how to get anything done. This is when most liberals were slobbering all over him.

Now that Obama's signed Lily Ledbetter, the SCHIP expansion, the stimulus package, credit card reform, health care reform (huge), student loan reform, and financial reform, and stabilized the economy, all of which I approve of more than disapprove, my opinion of him has shot up. He's been incredibly effective. But now most liberals are upset he didn't usher in some sort of liberal paradise.

It's pretty lonely being a pragmatic liberal. Most of them liked him when he was a pie in the sky dream, and dislike him now that he's actually accomplished something solid. Perhaps this is just some sort of derangement liberals suffer that causes them to be perpetually unrealistic? I have to say, I would not be a liberal except that conservatives these days are far worse. There's hope for the unrealistic. For the insane there's only treatment.

Liberals still overwhelming approve, even if some may be disappointed.

[xavier110]

Is he trying to manipulate the gubernatorial numbers?

[xavier110]

Approve 44%, -3.

Disapprove 55%, +3.


"Strongly Approve" is at 27%, -2.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 43%, +1.

While there is a bounce back, those disapproval numbers are off the high.

I'm gonna call a bad poll on that.  +3 Dissaproval is rather odd.

No it isn't, but of course Democratics think anything that shows them in trouble is odd, because they are to stupid to know that the avg america don't like what the Democrats and Obama are doing.

Thanks, I didn't know this! Plus it's "too" stupid, but that's okay.
