The internals:
4/24/09 - Dem=35% | Rep=21% | Indy= 38% | Other=5%
And regarding why those memos were released:
WaPo: Release of torture memos political
(quote) A source familiar with White House views said Obama’s advisers are further convinced that letting the public know exactly what the past administration sanctioned will undermine what they see as former vice president Richard B. Cheney’s effort to “box Obama in” by claiming that the executive order [banning secret prisons and interrogation tactics] heightened the risk of a terrorist attack.
Looks like that Obama strategy has backfired.
if it was bush who did it to a democrat, the memo released would be treated as another scandal e.g plamegate
These polls are proof that the “dumbing down of America” gig worked for the D’RATS.
I note it is always the Post that finds and publishes the favorable figures.
I don't get it either but I believe it 100 percent after the last two elections we arrogantly ignored and laughed at polls just to take it in the ass...I totally believe that 69 percent of American believe that Obama has done a good job. If we continue to look at polls like a joke, we will continue to lose. Americans are really stupid right now. The one million Tea Party participants represent 1/2 percent of American population...If you take another 29 percent who agree with the Tea Party participants than you have your 29.5 percent who are against Obama. The rest approve and there's your 69 percent approval rate. The 1/2 percent don't know one way or the other. lol.
Indy= 38%
That alone means this poll is concocted horse$hit.
Wretch!, Barf!!
WaPo must be trying to set up his Wed. speech, and make up to BHO for Ripping him a New one on the “Torture” lies last week.
Heard today BHO has been on the Cover of Time 18 Times already. The Obama Times must be the Replacement for the NY Times folding in a few months.
Hey, MSM...If you Covered the TEA PARTIES in NEWS PRINT....100,000’s of papers would have sold as participants bought copies as a Personal remembrance of their Participation.
The MSM Blew the Opportunity from Sea to Shining Sea, by Ignoring Americans in Action.
Obama = smoke and mirrors.
Do we think the “media” polls are actually going show the truth? LOL
What goes round, comes round... remember that 0 and C0.
Solid on what?
Meanwhile...
Obama Wants $100B For Global Poverty
Geithner says crisis threatens work on poverty
By Harry Dunphy, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON – The global economic crisis threatens to reverse gains in fighting poverty, so banks that provide aid to poor nations must embrace changes in their operations, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Sunday.
Those development banks are at the forefront of efforts to eradicate poverty and promote sustainable growth, he said the World Bank’s policy-setting board.
“We cannot afford to lose time or lose ground,” Geithner said.
At the same time, he said it was important for the banks to conduct their aid business in the open.
They must face reviews to ensure they have enough money and are promoting fundamental changes, Geithner said. He added that their resources must be used to “achieve the maximum impact on long-term development objectives, including addressing the needs of the poorest.” …
Officials agreed on an immediate increase of $250 billion for IMF lending. A further $250 billion would be added later to an “expanded and more flexible” line of credit.
President Barack Obama is seeking congressional approval for up to $100 billion for that effort, matching commitments for the same amount made by Japan and the European Union…

How come nobody asked me?
I continue to find this more effort to prop their Precious up. Nowhere near 69%, period. He has at least what he got in the election, but I’m not buying he won over those who voted against him and it will drop soon enough when reality sets in because all his policies and movements show hostility to our nation’s safety and prosperity. I look forward to when they try to spin a bad poll. It isn’t going to stop, but they are going to try to prolong this illusion of grandeur.
Where did you get the internals? I also believe the results are skewed, but I didn’t see them in the article. thanks.
