Looks like the poll is history....on this thread and the other one. Is that what you meant by an Orphan?

An Alien Abduction is more like it.

Amazing that this is an MSNBC poll?! My!! Oh, My!!! Is the Zero really starting to wear thin with some of the Obots?!

58 % gave him an F (37,189 responses)

No. An orphan page is one which does not have a “parent”. I do development on wiki software and that is the term used to describe a web page which to which no other page refers. Thus, it is an “orphan”.

Consider this thread on FR. John Robinson could delete the reference from the “Latest Posts” page while the thread still existed. Anyone who was examining the thread would still be able to click on the links, post new responses, and use all the other features of the thread. But as soon as you navigated away from this thread you would NOT be able to locate it from the “Latest Posts” page because John had destroyed the link which pointed to it.

I believe that this is what has occurred to this msnbc poll. MSNBC created the poll and had a clickable link to it from their “Politics -> White House” page. [I assume this because the “breadcrumbs” at the top of the poll page indicate that this was the original link.] The poll ran for a while and apparently turned strongly against Obama. MSNBC, not wanting to publish anything which disses Obama, rewrote the contents of the “Politics -> White House” page after they had deleted the link to the web poll page.

Before this occurred several bloggers copied the URL of the poll page and published it to friends. Thus, we at FR can still see the poll. We are even able to “vote” in the poll, but the poll is not available to visitors to MSNBC. It has been censored, which of course liberals are allowed to do. It is only conservatives who are not allowed to censor content. [sarcasm off]

Thanks for the lesson, Watchman.

I think you nailed it and MSNBC pulled it or hid it somewhere once it became evident their Boy was taking a beating.

As polls go though, 37001 votes at last count was larger than polls I've seen before.

If 96% had given him an A, the media would be shouting about this poll.

You bet they would.

I’m surprised they left the poll up this long. You think this will be reported on the evening news?

If you were grading Barack Obama on his performance as president, what would he get? * 40702 responses

He gets an A

He gets a B

He gets a C

He gets a D

He gets an F

Maybe they're hoping some lefties will get out of bed before noon and vote for Ted Mack's Washington Amateur Hour.

[Arrowhead1952]

With 70% between the D & F, he will be below 50% approval rating sooner than most expect.

[DJ MacWoW]

I don’t believe polls that have good approval ratings for Obama. I live in a lefty state and Hubby works in one and neither of us have heard anyone that approves of what he’s done. Most polls are skewed to suit the outcome that the client wants.

I live in Austin TX, and it is as liberal as San Fransisco. There were so many BO stickers on the cars here, but they have all but disappeared. I have on “bleeding heart liberal” on my van pool, and even she has shut up.

After Jan 20th, she asked me if I would support Hussein now, and I told her I would show him the same respect the left showed Bush the past eight years. She was thrilled - until I asked her if she remembered the “F*** Bush”, “Impeach Bush” “*”, “Chimpy”, etc. Her smile quickly turned into a frown. It sure is different when the shoe is on the other foot.

Hubby works in NJ on a service route. People are complaining to him about Obama. There’s real anger out there.

[Arrowhead1952]

SO, can we say the honeymoon is already OVER? HMMMMM!! Seems there is real “buyers remorse” already. I wonder how many would like to “recall” the BO?

I just tell the disgruntled (d) voters “I told you so” and walk away laughing. THAT really gets under their thin skins.

[DJ MacWoW]

Hubby smiles and tells them that he's probably not eligible to even be Prez since his father was a Kenyan. They usually look as if that never occurred to them before. So I guess it's not only buyer's remorse but they also want to dump him. Most were VERY angry over the stimulus bill.

However, the hard left is still in raptures over him. Hubby comes in contact with few of those.

It’s up to 61% now.

Jimmy Carter, you may no longer be America’s Worst President and live to see it.

[Arrowhead1952]

The biggest problem with most liberals I have contact with, is the decline of their savings and their stock investments. Even the hard left here is upset with the direction their stock is headed.

[DJ MacWoW]

Wait till the fallout from the stimulus hits. And Bushes tax breaks expire. Ted Mack’s Amature Hour the DC version will really be hearing it.

[Danae]

61% give him an F now.
