Forgive me for associating this marvelous mingling of technology with art with the Vacuum-in-chief, but I couldn't resist an opportunity to post the pic.

And Obama's approval rating is at 48%,...

If this is an accurate depiction of our country then we are already doomed.

Better, but tied is not good enough. And Obama’s favorability is way too high.

It has been down below 50% for a long time. And 48% loses elections.

In a re-election scenario, this is the perfect place to be at July 1st especially when no one is paying attention to the race as closely as the junkies.

The incumbent depending on big news stories to just be even with an opponent that hasnt even really unloaded their big money yet or picked a VP? Keep it that way until September.

Yes, he is very credible. And he samples likely voters, not just registered voters.

I can’t understand why half the country doesn’t wake up.

Rasmussen is arguably the MOST credible.

(yes I 100% mean that)

It’s because we have the best education system the Soviet Union could devise.

Yes. The Communist manifesto has done very well, hasn’t it. So true.

Depends on the political climate and the day - he seems to lean Left and try tomanipulate public opinion. Once the truth becomes more obvious, he generally gets closer to "accuracy". Until October, I would take his polls with a huge grain of salt. Until then, he will likely do what the Left does with economic stats - over estimate the "positive" then "adjust" towards reality once the lie has been offered. I almost expect him to preface his "adjustments" with "UNEXPECTED - Obama not as high in opinion as we thought"

If the Soviet Commissar for Education developed our education system in the old USSR, Stalin would have had him shot!

can't understand why people think polls represent more than the sample.

I wonder how many points he gets from white people who do not want to be thought of as racists? I wonder how these people will really vote when they get in the polling booth?

Half the country doesn’t wake up, doesn’t get up, doesn’t suck it up, doesn’t go to work like the other half, doesn’t pay taxes like the other half.

They roll off the couch at some point and check their mail or their inbox to see if the gubmint money has arrived.

One of these days as you go through your normal routine, try to take note of how many people you encounter who work for federal, state or local government, and also how many don’t work (or not much) but still get a check.

We are outnumbered, my FRiend. Sometimes it seems remarkable to me that we ever win an election at all.

Exactly. Romney hasn`t even been nominated or chosen a VP yet. Plus, 0bama will finally be exposed at debates when he`s forced to defend the economy, jobless rates and of course 0bamacare.

A WHOLE lot of cards will go on the table before any conclusions can be made about this race.

I read somewhere a while back that the high marks Obama still gets from African Americans skews the favorability up some
