Well, only partly, since his Strongly Approve - Strongly Disapprove went from -12 to -15.
So my question is, is Ras using the same sample to ask about the president's approval rating as he is asking O vs Romney?
I find it very difficult to believe that the people who are strongly disapproving of 0 will not vote for Romney. That would in Ras samples give R a base of 40 - 43%. In comparison 0's base is only 26 - 30%. Sure, in the total approval stakes the difference is much smaller, and sometimes even to 0's advantage. However, even though likely voters are polled, how likely are the strong dis- and approvals to vote compared to those that are not as decidedly for or against?
Unless there is a large section of those who strongly oppose Obama who for one or other reason decide not to vote for ABO then the Democrats will have a big job GOTV to be able to counter Romney's lead.
Scaniaboy,
Sadly that was MY screwup.
I saw the cached page on my browser. Did not check the day above.
It stayed at -12%
I have already alerted the admin to change the title.
Sorry!
