Gallup: Obama Averages 61% Job Approval in June
Gallup.com ^ | July 8, 2009 | by Frank Newport

While Obama's approval rating has remained fairly steady, there has been significantly more change in the percentage of Americans who have no opinion of Obama, down from 19% in January to 7% in June, and those who disapprove of his job performance, up from 15% to 32%. Thus, the overall pattern has been a fairly stable positive rating of Obama's job performance, coupled with an increase in negatives occurring concomitantly with a drop in those with no opinion.

Oh... and a polling firm that got it right during the last three election cycles... unlike the leftist Gallup... Rasmussen says he is tanking and his negatives are growing quickly!

And you are right.

This is treason media BS, achieved by polling “all adults” rather than likely voters.

Have you ever seen Jaywalkers on the Leno show? That is half the sample for these polls.

Ras is your honest pollster. He polls likely voters and gives da One an approval rating of 52, disapproval of 48.

Gallup can’t be trusted because they frame questions to get the answers they want.
However, the Rasmussen poll does show the Independents beginning to see the light. That is the most telling factor for BO’s future.

Believe it. Think about the fawning press reports he has gotten.

The average American is watching Idol reruns right now and hearing snippets of news from the Obamaphiles in the press.

That is what we are up against.

Not one GOP politician will take on the press but the New Politics will see that happening because they are an adversary aligned with Dems.

Want to explain to me how 61% of the populace (granted 50% are far left Communist trash) can approve of being bankrupted, sold out to 3rd world status, and watching Obama destroy capitalism and PRIVATE enterprise?????

This poll is worthless. And, that's not a kneejerk reaction. The poll indicates that 37% of self-described conservatives give Obama positive marks. That is the statement that destroys all credibility of the poll.

Good news in Ohio though, with Obummer slipping below 50% approval rating..

That is a key swing state to use as a barometer versus “national polling”.

I think Gallup now has him at around 56% approval. Anyone have a good Flash Player?

Here’s Gallup’s daily rating (but I can’t see it). Where is he at today?

Look at the “Rasmussen” poll I listed showing a -5 point approval rating. There is no way in hell this idiot is above a “true” 40% approval rating...

I think these polls call on 18-26 year old kids and trash to po’ to have caller ID and say “I guess he’s doin’ good...”
