The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

Gallup Daily:  http://www.gallup.com/poll/124922/Presidential-Job-Approval-Center.aspx

Approve:  46%, nc

Disapprove:  48% +2

It looks grim when you only look at the Rasmussen and Gallup numbers. Other pollsters have Obama around 50%.

Gallup and Rasmussen are not the only numbers out there. The fact that they poll everyday gives them just more media attention (and Atlas attention)

[Earthling]

And he won't be next year.

[Earthling]

And the 45% is a number from one pollster. Other poll show him higher than that.

[Earthling]

Well, yes, Gallup maybe around the longest, but just using their numbers as THE numbers to predict November?

Well, I'm not yet predicting.  The numbers looking grim, which they are, doesn't yet translate into losing.

Yes, but they look grim if you only look at Gallup. They are much brighter when you look to other pollsters.

Not on the dailies.  The only other one we have is Rasmussen, and Obama is generally not doing well.

The dailies aren't the only polls. The fact that you are polling every day doesn't make your poll automatically stronger than the other polls.

Rasmussen maybe has a Republican lean while Gallup's methods are outdated. I don't know if that is true, but it could make those polls less reliable.

[Earthling]

Nonsens, I am not saying that, you are. By ignoring the other polls that are much better for Obama.

The longer he babbles about birth control the more women will turn against him on other issues such as the economy. As that goes on it will lead to actual votes in the fall. Obama just doesn't have it with the ladies anymore.

That poll is from April 2011.

You are really a troll, right?

Wow, Bain, it is avalanche, in reverse, or it's just the bounce dropping out.

Or just a bad sample. Or just old Rasmussen doing his thing again.

[Earthling]

If that's what makes it possible for you to sleep at night.

[Earthling]

Eehh, not to dent your hope too much, but the head to head is Obama 50% (u) - Romney 44% (u)
