This is an old article if you look at the date. It far pre-dates this elections cycle.

The numbers, though, have nothing to do with anything other than those who were or were not polling below 50% prior to an election. It takes actual cases and adds them up.

Old or not, the point is that Obama has had approval ratings below 50% for some time. No matter what the data show, the MSM will have you believe that Obama will be the exception to the rule whether it is high unemployment levels, unpopular policies, the country being on the good or wrong track, etc. As we get closer to election day, we will see more of the same.

NB: This article was written in October 2010 just before the midterms. The MSM tried to discount the impact of the Tea Party or the fact that many Dem incumbents were running below 50% favorability. We know how the 2010 midterms turned out. I wonder how that affects the data in the article.
