Bottom line as I see it:
1) Probably a bogus poll. Show me the questions and the actual data with the crosstabs and I can slice and dice it pretty much any way you want.
2) Obama’s approval is below 50% which is the kiss of death forany politician. Not necessarily a forgone conclusion, but any candidate below 50% is considered in trouble.
3) All Republicans are with the MOE, so it actually tells very little. Show me a few polls with the same questions over a period of time, not some goofy flash poll, then we’ll talk.
well it is a CNN poll so you are probably right about it being bogus to one degree or another

The above 2012 poll was done by a Dem polling firm before the health care disaster passed. O’s and the Dems’ numbers have steadily dropped since this poll was completed, I don’t buy CNN’s numbers, they don’t make sense.
In this poll 57% approve of Obama.
