The new poll from CNN gives plenty of reason for skepticism, and not just because they failed to include any demographic data from their sample. Barack Obama hit his highest approval rating in months in the survey at 54%, rising from 52% earlier this month — but still underwater on almost all issues:
"President Barack Obama’s performance on national security and international affairs and his image as a strong leader appear to be behind his rising approval rating, according to new national poll conducted as the president was on an overseas visit to four countries.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday indicates that Obama’s approval rating among Americans stands at 54 percent, with 45 percent saying they disapprove of the job he’s doing as president. Obama’s approval rating appears to have steadily risen in the past two months, from 48 percent in early April to 52 percent in early May and the current mark of 54 percent.
“On specific issues, the president’s approval rating is over 50 percent on only three out of 11 items tested, and all three – terrorism, Afghanistan, and Iraq – are foreign or security issues,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “But his approval rating on every domestic issue listed in the poll is well below 50 and on most of them – including the economy, health care, taxes, and the budget deficit – his rating has remained flat or dropped since the start of the year.”

Obama approval at 54%
It can’t possibly be that high...can it?
You don’t really believe this, do you?
It said that his approval on pretty much everything domestic is in the tank. People vote on domestic issues. I think we’re ok.
When you oversample Dem’s by 20%, yes it can and will be that high.
Who the hell is cnn?
Okay, so how about sampling Republicans and Independents now, CNN.
And the other 46% at CNN are undecided.
Pulling out all the stops, the MSM appears to be going into an early panic.
What CNN did not tell you is that they polled people in the newsroom so this “poll” does not count..its CNN, if they told me that the sun would rise tomorrow I’d have to go outside and confirm it
The joke of the century past and present.
No demographic data = lies too brazen to back up with facts
CNN lies. All the time.
He continues to shuck and jive and photo-op his way through. When his numbers tick down.... it’s time for another photo-op.
CNN Poll!!!!!!!!!! Is this comedy??? sure the hell is funny.
If this rating does not drop...and remain...below 36%, the stain (and his entire regime) will remain in power until 2016!!
Please refer to my tagline.
54% of people polled at CNN’s HQ....
No cross-tabs provided, so party affiliations are not revealed. It is a poll of 1,007 “adults” however, which includes anyone over 18 with a pulse who answers the phone. By contrast, any poll of “registered voters” today would skew more toward Republicans than this one.
