Exactly.

And it used to be the opposite with Bush.

Repondents would say their personal life was okay, but they were concerned about the unknown neighbor (the sad sack story they watched on network TV). And vote “wrong direction.”

Now they are having difficult times, but because the media builds up this turd, they say “right direction.”

This is, plain and simple, the effects of propaganda.

Dems 46%
Repubs 28%

A whopping 18% difference in oversampling.

And even at that bogus number the internals are bad for zero.

"He presents a very positive outlook," said Cheryl Wetherington, 35, an independent voter who runs a chocolate shop in Gardner, Kan. "He's very well-spoken and very vocal about what direction should be taken."

Clueless nitwit...

I thought Clinton was arrogant. BO makes the Clintons look like saints.

I never thought I'd agree with that, but you're right.

Holy crap...frankly, I didn’t believe you so I followed the links to see exactly what you posted. Not only that, but it is 1,000 adults. Not registered voters, not likely voters, just “adults”. This poll is pure crap.

Even worse... AP did their math wrong too.

It is only 27% Repubs. 9 Stong Repub + 9 Moderate Repub + 9 Lean Repub = 27, not 28.

Incredible.

I absolutely love the smell of desperation as the Antiquated Press pumps the sunshine.

“Cheryl Wetherington, 35, an independent voter who runs a chocolate shop in Gardner, Kan. “

Hey Cheryl, how’s business? Obama running a lot of folks into your chocolate shop to spend their disposable income?

As to be expected, AP is spinning as hard as they can for the Libtard.

Normally, I wouldn't have given this article more than 30 seconds of my time, but the audacity of the spin was so breathtaking, I had to keep reading out of sheer fascination.

It's not til almost the end of this lengthy article that "reporters" Ron Fournier and Trevor Thompson disclose that Of those who say the country is on the right track in the AP-GfK poll, 73 percent are Democrats, 17 percent are independents and 10 percent are Republicans. WTF?

Had Fournier and Thompson not had their heads so far up Obama's rear, they might have noted that the figure means that a whopping 90% of Republicans and 83% of independents think the country is on the wrong track and more than a quarter of Obama's own party agrees! At this early stage of the game, losing the confidence of more than a quarter of the people most inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt is a big deal.

And that's if we overlook the laughable breakdown of the sampling. The internals of this poll are startling for their imbalance. The poll had twice as many declared Democrats as Republicans, and a ridiculous 44% of those polled claimed to be independents or have no party affiliation.

He had a 90% favorable rating after 9-11 and, for various reasons, it dropped to less than 30% by the time he left office. If Obama doesn’t manage to turn this economy around (and he won’t), the middle of the road Americans that just wanted to throw Bush out will do the same to Obama. They’re not all long haired,homosexual, pot smoking, hippes with a hardon for Barack Obama though that surely describes many of them.

Liars. These are the offspring of Goebbels in our midst. I want to see every AP propagandist rounded up and shipped one-way to North Korea. Scum like this should not be allowed to live in America. They’re all seditionists. Engaging in seditionist conduct under freedom of press is not permitted.
