Do weekend polls favor ‘Rats?

[April Lexington]

Heck, he just gave 32 million American serfs access to health care. Of course they now like him!

[HerrBlucher]

They are that moronic if they believe Gallup.

Obama 50% Approval: 43% Disapproval

[roses of sharon]

Your fellow Americans are moochers and looters.

Told ya.....we will have to let them steal our earnings and private healthcare, or kill them.

No in between.

[Mamzelle]

Just the perception of a “winner”—like his basketball curse.

[J Edgar]

If this be true - then the CommieCrates will rule, and you can expect ‘re-education camps’ to follow shortly!
How sad,but not totally unexpected!

[dfwgator]

Yep, they’ll go and watch their American Idol content in the knowledge that now their healthcare will be free.

[Habibi]

Well, he had a significant proportion of the far left that were mad as hell because he wasn’t moving fast enough. You gotta’ figure that there are a few of them that he has now (temporarily) placated.

No comment on whether they’re moronic. I’ll let that stand on its own.

Who believes Gallup at all.

George Gallup sold of this company years ago.

[padre35]

Whenever the Pres does something large people who don’t follow what is happening approve of the success.

Americans generally do not want to see the Prez fail, once details emerge the poll numbers drop backwards.

[R_Kangel]

If this passes, and probably will, I predict his approval will rise above 60% because he will garner the support from all of the radical elements that were upset with the president before.

Gallup: Obama Up 3 points. Approval Now Stands at 50% [Americans That Moronic?]

Moronic or still gulping the kool aid down by the pitcher full. Although I do not have statistics to support the tipping point where 49% of America works to support 51% who are incapable of refuse to earn their own keep, clearly this type of polling shows what the majority of America has turned into. It is a crying shame there is no where left on the globe to escape to - I would leave in a heartbeat.

[Ptarmigan]

People who answer the polls are probably more likely to be unemployed.

[Paradox]

He will get a big bump in all the polls, due to his base coming around and loving him again.

[Major Matt Mason]

A bump up in the polls is to be expected. He got one earlier in the year, but that bump was short-lived. People will remember that the economy is in a shambles pretty quickly and realize that this idiot hassn't done squat to allow for a recovery.

[presently no screen name]

You’re being played if you believe this. Propaganda abounds to take some of the stink away.

[Jukeman]

50% approval - that is Bulls**t propaganda. Screw Obama eternally.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Obama has just gotten a weekend's worth of prominent, adulatory coverage from the MSM, with newspeople calling ObamaCare "historic", "transformational", etc. - and his legislation won. Of course his ratings at the moment are up - the real test will come over the rest of the year as the implications of this bill are made clear - no one's even sure what's in it right now.

And this will be the true test for the GOP and their commitment to rolling back not only ObamaCare but Big Government in general. Liberals in this country have waged a multi-decade effort to erode this nation's belief in free markets, individual initiative and American exceptionalism, and the GOP has not only let it happen, they've joined in with efforts like the Medicare drug benefit. Embarrassments like Ted Stevens, Charles Grassley and Richard Shelby haven't been fighting for limited government - they've spent their energies on grabbing as much pork for themselves as possible. It's time for the Republican Party to stand for something more than the lesser of two evils, and time for believers in small government and individual freedom to start winning hearts and minds. If not, we're well on our way to European-style irrelevance.

This poll is too volatile too be accurate. According to Gallup, BHO went from -2 to + 7 in three days. A 10 point swing? That being said, both Ras and Gallup showed a BHO uptick yesterday. Either he had a really good day polling, or a bad day rolled off, or both.
