It is an AP Poll = zero credibility.

Unemployment is heading for depression levels and his job approval is going up? Sure it is.

But what was the underlying methodology. Did they select independents, conservatives, or did they weigh it to the Democrat/liberal side. They don’t say and the methodology greatly influences the results.

Adults (drunkards and dope addicts).

The poll of 1,003 adults was conducted Oct. 1-5, using both landline and cell phone interviews, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

It's a poll of “adults.” They don't even screen for voters, much less likely voters.

This polls runs counter to both the Rasmussen and Gallup polls. I don't buy it for a minute.

They polled the entire population of Detroit. I'm surprised his rating was that low.
