Someone explain to me why Obama’s poll numbers improve when he comes out swinging at congress, yet the numbers of the Republican congress go down when they put out a tough line.
Push polling, probably.
Also, “congress” is some amorphous entity, ‘bammers is an identifiable person, so a person being attacked by a faceless entity (that has already been demonized) will be a sympathetic figure.
His numbers are higher because gas is lower. Most people don’t keep up with politics. However, if they have more spending money they give the credit to the president (mainly it is the only politician they know the name of). They are our low info voter and are growing daily.
