Obama approval hits 60% as end of term approaches - CNNPolitics.com

A new CNN/ORC poll finds Obama's approval rating stands at 60%, his best mark since June of his first year in office. Compared with other outgoing presidents, Obama lands near the top of the list, outranked only by Bill Clinton's 66% in January 2001 and Ronald Reagan's 64% in January 1989. About two-thirds (65%) say Obama's presidency was a success, including about half (49%) who say that was due to Obama's personal strengths rather than circumstances outside his control.
This is the breaking news section, I hope this is ok, given it's #fakenews.... Once again:
"METHODOLOGYA total of 1,000 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones.Among the entire sample, 32% described themselves as Democrats, 24% described themselves as Republicans, and 44%described themselves as independents or members of another party.All respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflectnational Census figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, and telephone usage.Crosstabs on the following pages only include results for subgroups with enough unweighted cases to produce a samplingerror of +/- 8.5 percentage points or less. Some subgroups represent too small a share of the national population to producecrosstabs with an acceptable sampling error. Interviews were conducted among these subgroups, but results for groupswith a sampling error larger than +/-8.5 percentage points are not displayed and instead are denoted with "NA"."
So even by once again stacking the deck by using the same polling peoples they got for the other poll, they got what they were looking for.
Does ANYONE really believe Obama's actual approval rating is 60%?
