To: Maceman
Headed down again. I still think Rasmussen is scared of the liberals so has to put in an improvement now and then. I wonder where Gallup is today, maybe down to 37%?

Pay no attention to this. Numbers up- numbers down. Who cares?
Just work hard and do everything you can to make sure this asshat is overwhelmingly shown the door next year.
That’s all that matters.

RCP has him at -9 which is an all time low for that.
Face it, he’ll never go below 35% considering his base.

Conservatives and Republicans (ie. people with homes, jobs and families) are beginning to come back indoors after cleaning up from Irene. Zero's numbers should continue to get worse over the next week.

What they do not measure is intensity.
The negatives are highly negatively "charged", and thus, are more than typically motivated for voting, poll volunteering, poll watching, and motivating other voters.

How about a poll on impeaching Professor You Lie for dereliction of financial duties?
What fun that would be during the summer of 2012! Well, maybe not for the Liberal Intelligential Elite ( L.I.E. ) Media.

To: MNDude
You beat me to it. Even averaging all the polls that over-sample Dems and sample adults as opposed to likely voters, RealClearPolitics has him at an historic -9.2 low. If the pollsters’ methodology were corrected to accurately reflect both the electorate and likely voters only, Obama would be at least ten points lower. At least.
To: Seaplaner
I agree..you're onto something..in the 90's I remember the BGRs..broken glass epublicnas...couldn't wait to crawl over broken glass to vote against the Clintons...
The GOP now really is the ABO party..

Face it, hell never go below 35% considering his base.
That is one of the reason I follow the Rasmussen strongly support/not support list. While Obama is unlikely to ever go much below 40% is support is mostly among emotionally driven people. And people who are emotionally driven can either be whipped up to a frenzy or demoralized into inaction. With Strongly approve at the 22% level we aren't going to see the giant spontaneous mobs that brought out the youth vote for the first and only time in my lifetime. There will still be the rent-a-mobs but those are smaller. And as Wisconsin just proved there are limits to what vote buying can do.
If the stoners and welfare queens stay home Obama can't win. On the other hand there was some good news for Obama. The strongly disapprove is at only 41%, which is lower than it had been lately. The problem is that being angry is unpleasant. And rational people want to find something to think about that doesn't make then want to spew. So unless there is a major political story, like passing of Obamacare or the debt limit showdown, they tend to fall of the strongly disapprove bandwagon. The bad news is that with the economy in the crapper Obama can't stay on vacation and let the strongly disapproves calm down. The more Obama panders to his socialist base the more he will drive up his strongly disapproves.

Obama has/had a huge cult-like following. Some of the zombies have awaken, we'll see exactly how many in 2012, however.
To: GonzoGOP
And people who are emotionally driven can either be whipped up to a frenzy or demoralized into inaction.Very profound statement. "Emotionally driven" describes the entire liberal cohort.
I have posted many times here my contention that blacks in particular, will (statistically) sit on their hands in 2012. My contention has been that Obama is embarrassing them. "Demoralized into inaction" fits the hypothesis too. He simply cannot win without them.
To: Maceman
The media has begun their spin for the 2012 election. When Bush was president, everything was his fault. Bush Derangement Syndrome resulted in BO’s election and the Dems taking Congress. They seized the day and pushed thru Obamacare, despite objection from the majority of people. There was no talk of “compromise.” Now Republicans control the House, and the media is blaming “Congress”—not Obama—for the current crisis. The Tea Party in particular, who they claim refuse to “compromise.” Brainwashed Dem voters I know are stating they “hate” the Tea Party. They hate people who want to reign in government spending?? If Obama manages to eek out a victory in 2012, we are lost....
