emoting. For all the threads I've seen here and on the web saying Obama's poll numbers are going down. This poll is significant because is from Rasmussen who is considered by many as right leaning.

I'm for the Packers in the Superbowl.;)

Even with this whole five point boost, Obama's numbers are still down. Even Jimmy Carter was at 66% during the midterms. Look how his re-elecction bid went! :rofl

PolitiFact Virginia | Tim Kaine says Obama's approval ratings "fine" compared to other presidents
Reagan was the least popular mid-term president. At the start of 1983, with the nation emerging from recession, he had 37 percent approval and 54 percent disapproval. Less than two years later, Reagan carried all but one state in a landslide reelection.

Midterm poll numbers for presidents mean relatively little in the grand scheme of things. Carter had good numbers and lost, Reagan had dismal numbers and won by a landslide.
Your point only proves that you care more about partisan hackery than honesty.:(

1. Interesting that you don't even try to defend yourself. You simply make a "he did it first" defense. That only works in elementary school dude.

2. The OP simply posted poll numbers. I'd never criticize someone for simply posting when poll numbers go down so why should I criticize him for posting when poll numbers go up? Are poll numbers this far out from an election pretty meaningless? Yea. Does that mean this whole thread is by extension not that important? Id say so. Partisan Hackery? Not in my opinion.

3. Either way you were still incredibly wrong on the point you were trying to make with poll numbers.
 
Was wondering when this would be posted.. been weeks since Obama's numbers have gone the other way and not a peep on this conservative right wing boards.. and what happens when they are posted.. the right wing partisan hackery attacks and ridicules the whole notion.. typical.

Ironic... Show a poll or a thread you started on Obama's numbers going down, or Bush's numbers going up. :roll:

Do you attribute the recent bump to anything other than the shooting eulogy? If so, please give specifics and sources.

If anything it underscores that the public as a whole are fickle masses who are easily swayed. Polls are useless aside from showing general trends -especially on the cusp of an election (which is not the case currently). To a lesser degree polls can also reinforce and amplify a trend when people vote since we seem to get caught up on focusing on them so much, and often put too much stock in opinion poll results

PB - this really is not fair raining on the right wing parade like this. The big parades were set to begin today as soon as Rush went off the air to gloat over the Olbermann dismissal but then you had to go and post this information on an issue they care far more about. Have you no compassion for our poor right wing brothers and sisters to steal their moment of joy in this manner? Oh the humanity of it.

Hero worship sucks.
 
Here's a question: what do Obama's rising approval numbers say about what the general public is interested in? Does it help clarify or refine at all what the 2010 election "was all about?"

I think the rising approval number confirm that 2010 was about Democrats having too much power and using it on the wrong priorities. I think the rising approval number also demonstrates, however, that the Tea Party priority of lowering the deficit by drastically reducing the federal budget is not the biggest thing on the public's mind.

Interesting...

So, in your opinion what do you think is the biggest thing on the public's mind?

Jobs and a government that is working together to solve the economic crisis, rather than to appease the far right or far left.

Just wait until the Republican primary field is assembled and they start going after each other and Obama to tell the nation how they are going to go about undoing our numb skull president's incompetence.

Then watch the debates. Obama has a record he cannot run from this time. People have caught on to his slim shady shell game shtick.

I watch people post poll numbers all the time. The amusing part is that when Rasmussen says that Obama's poll numbers have gone down, conservatives laud them and liberals dismiss or make excuses for them. When Rasmussen says that Obama's poll numbers have gone up, liberals laud them, and conservatives dismiss or make excuses for them. Hypocrisy at it's finest. Either you accept them as valid and meaningful or you don't. Both ways.

Presidents tend to get a bump when they do the right thing after a Nation Tragic incident. Morbid as that maybe, Obama got a bump for a relatively positive response to what happened in AZ. It's not a shocker. Give it a month and see if it's a trend or blip.
