Gallup has bad news for Pundits

[Robbins]

The new daily tracking poll doesn't fit their Obama Is terrable message.

Approval 50(+3)
Disapproval 44(-2)

I keep telling people gallup Is a seesaw.They may have Obama down for awhile but he will come back up.

[Jennicut]

But I thought his handling of the oil spill ruined his Presidency already?

5. "Can you say 'President Biden'?"

Predictions of Obama's demise has been greatly exaggerated. :rofl:

[Jennicut]

6. And I love Joe, but I only want him to take over if it was

absolutely necessary. I mean, has a President ever resigned before in the middle of their term (except Nixon)? With a 50% approval rating?!

The absurdity of it all....

[jenmito]

11. Same here...

and nope, never happened.

1. Galllup is wrong, Obama is less popular than Bush - he's a disaster

November will be a disaster for dems too

:rofl:

[FoxNewsSucks]

7. Don't forget that the republicons still control the electronic voting machines.

All this bad publicity and constant drumbeat of "the tide is turning against dems" is just cover for the next time the corporate right steals an election.

2. Reminds me of "Clinton's 'Failed' Presidency." Gallup doesn't balance its sample well, hence,

the volatility in their surveys.

In 2000, they had huge swings in their daily tracking numbers.

[elocs]

3. Yes, it is better, but is 50% approval reason for dancing in the streets?

:shrug:

[volvoblue]

8. After the past year of the beltway idiots trashing the man???

[jenmito]

9. It sure is! He has been attacked daily by nearly EVERYONE in the media over his

"cerebral response" to the oil leak.

[Jennicut]

10. Clinton and Reagan were both lower at this point in their Presidencies.

So yeah, I would say that is a pretty good # with the economy and a gigantic oil spill.

[Cha]

13. No one is dancing in the streets but it's amazing that it's that high

with the corporatemediawhores bashing him 24/7.

[Tempest]

4. Considering Gallup leans right

Obama's true approval rating is higher than 50%.

[Cha]

12. The punditheads will have to rev up their venom.

[Tarheel_Dem]

+1

[Ter]

14. That is not the current poll, he's at 46% on the official Gallup site

[Jennicut]

15. No, 46% was the weekly average of last week. It is 50% today.

[fugop]

16. They had to counteract that 50% with something!

Love how they had to put right under today's 50% approval that he hit a low last week. Oops!

[Jennicut]

17. It is all BS all the time, isn't it?
