So, humping the leg of Calderon did not give him a bounce?

So it looks like the last couple of days were not a fluke, and he’s trending down. If tomorrow is also in this range (-15 to -20) then it looks like his ObamaCare bounce may be ending.

Racists who only see his skin color, leeches, on and off Wall Street, who make a living off the taxpayers, and your average brain dead Democrat voter who does not pay any attention at all to what is going on in DC as long as “their team” the Democrats are running the show.

Here’s a link that works:

I can’t understand how ANYONE—except for SEIU/ACORN goons, ‘Rat Congresscritters, banksters, feminazis, sodomites, illegal aliens, and muslims—can still support the muslim communist Barack Hussein obama. He is quite clearly a total DISASTER!!!!

Is ANYONE scraping those obama/Biden and changey/hopey stickers from 2008 off of their cars? It would be a great idea to do it ASAP!!!!

90% of those are useful idiot morons who know nothing but handouts. 5% are useful idiot morons who simply hate the right. The final 5% are evil useful idiot moron elite wannabe's.

“...Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove Those figures also reflect the weakest ratings for the president since the health care bill became law. “

This must also include ignorant college students. I was watching a rerun of America's Funniest Videos from the Bush era and the audience was college students - after acknowledging this fact the host began to ask them questions - who was vice president, secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, etc. Not ONE out of the five or six people asked a question could answer correctly. That's horrendous! NOT ONE!!!

98% of the minority population.

If you remove that disproportionate factor, his negatives are about where GWB’s were.

His strongly disapprove will drop a lot from where it is today.

I still think the “true, underlying value” of the Rasmussen Index is right around -12, which is approximately the ten-day moving average.

Normal, run-of-the-mill sampling variation apparently caused Rasmussen’s Monday night poll to skew wildly away from the Big Ø’s supporters. It’s the kind of event that statisticians expect to happen in about one case out of 20.

And those out-of-range numbers from Monday night are still embedded in this morning’s Rasmussen report, since Ras always gives us a three-day moving average from his nightly surveys. In other words, it’s probably best to ignore the results from today, yesterday morning, and Tuesday morning.

But Monday night’s results will be gone from the Index value that Ras reports tomorrow — at which time the Index probably will be trying to move back up to a value around -12.

Still, the gloom, doom and cynicism I note on this thread and similar threads really don’t seem justified. If the Rasmussen Index simply stays locked at -12 until November 2012, the Annøinted Øne stands to be swept away in an electoral tsunami roughly equivalent to Nixon’s 1972 victory over McGovern or Reagan’s 1984 triumph over Mondale.

Looking forward to the drop. And hoping for the same with Pelosi, Reid and Biden.
