Someone last evening used the MFM in place of the MSM and I couldn’t agree more! I don’t recall who it was and I shouldn’t have used it until I made the effort to look back and find out and attributed it to them. My apologies to that person!
What caused this bounce?
? Announcing a presser where he’d take questions [MSM reports in good light]
? Announcing he would forego his scheduled Friday off to go to the Gulf [acting like an executive, zombies fawn]
? Marginalizing the conflicts regarding Sestak [zombies applaud]

None of the above, all Obongo said was that “It’s BP’s fault” the idiot electorate felt that was enough to get back in good graces with the Kenyon.
It’s unfortunate that you feel the need to continue to call me names. But that appears to be a personal issue on your part.
You stated that it was a bounce but gave no reason for this alleged “bounce”. Several others (myself included) say it’s statistical noise meaning one really bad day for Obama dropping off and a pretty good day taking it’s place, but purely statistical.
I am still waiting for your reasoning as to what caused this “bounce”.
I’m sorry that a modestly snarky comment seemed to hit a nerve and draw your vitriol. But there is no excuse for name calling. Grow up.
Looks to me like it’s up +230.
I swear I looked at it and it was down 200. Wonder if it dipped and went back up.
I take it you saw the “10 Types of Blogs Responses” thread?
No, I didn’t. Is it something on FR? In any case, could you direct me to it? Thanks!
I think that his announcement of sending troops to the border fooled some independent voters who were mad about the Calderon fiasco and helped his polls a bit.
Are we seeing the same poll?? The one you posted doesn’t look like a “bounce” to me......it shows a clear rise of the unfavorable and a decline of the favorable. Or am I missing something on this hot day out on my porch?
Look, when his BIG BOUNCE gets him “up” to -16, that is AWESOME.
I don’t what the polls say, he sucks.
Possibly, however the Raz poll is a 3 day moving average and I’m not sure even one day of polling would have been included in the latest survey.
Assuming that it had been included, it would have to be a monstrous change to elicit that sort of % change.
any ideas?
it was within the MOE. The MOE is +/- 3%. So you can have 6 point swings.
It’s within the MOE of +/- 3%. So 6 point swings are “acceptable”
Exactly! So many are missing the forest because of all those pesky trees. Sure we want the trend to continue but until we see this number actually driving back to 0 we are still "winning". I put winning in quotes because everyday with zero at the helm America is losing.
Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.
Down 200 from when the correction started.
Bounce from what?
