August and September were the weakest months in Obama's presidency, at least as measured by his job approval numbers. However, in October Obama seems to be making a comeback even as the economy takes a turn for the worse and as Democrats try to cram through Congress a deeply unpopular Health Care reform.
Despite the embarrassment of losing the Olympics to Rio and winning the Nobel Peace Prize though nominated only eleven days into his presidency, Obama's approval rating have stabilized and even begun to tick up. This is happening even though 57% of the American public believes that the country is on the wrong track. What can possibly explain this dissonance?

His numbers have stopped falling because the Press Kisses his ass and covers for Him ,Period
the reason it stopped dropping is the MSM can’t see bottom
I find it interesting that the polls associated with the TV networks all seem to be consistently moving up. However,the independent pollsters like Rasmussen still have him below 50% slightly.
Ditto what ballplayer and Doogle said. 10,000 “press secretaries” (AKA the DBM) will cover his butt from here to the end of time.
didn’t yesterday’s Zogby poll say only 43% would vote to reelect Zero?
Hmmm...An AT article working from a false premise
Color me dubious. The Pretender is still in full plummet. He won’t bounce till next Nov.
They have stopped falling because he hasn’t done anything concrete that has effected most people...yet. Gas prices are relatively low and stable. The MSM is telling them economic recovery is within grasp. They can still afford to eat out and grab a Starbucks every morning.
Forget the ratings issue, the story is fascinating. As long as things are going down as Obama says, people support him. When people feel optimistic that they can move up, they don’t.
I never thought about it that way. But his point is very very compelling. But ignore the numbers and his poll versus others. His theory is a good one.
Some people get excited by a rising stock market. That has to account for part of it.
bump
Is there a thread that has the text interview of the obamaista saying the source of the Detroit money was obama’s “stash”.
It looks like every low income black city.
While it is easy to focus on the national scene at FR, it is also important to do these same things at the local and state level to dismantle the Dem’s machines. We could also work to require political balance in our schools and college teaching positions, push for reducing the number of political patronage appointments, push for local term limits, limit the amount and where local politicians can get their campaign funds etc.
Still no white people.
What chew talkin bout Willis?
They’re testing polling models that give them the results they want. He’ll be up to “75% approval” soon enough.
Just call AP the Ass. Press
