Repubs, Southerners Stands Mostly Behind Obama’s Uptick in the Polls

Following the news of killing Osama Bin Laden, the approval rating of President Obama increased eleven points in the New York Times Poll. It went from 46% in mid-April to 57% post OBL.

I am sure that the Leftists hosts on MSNBC who say that people in the South and Republicans in general hate President Obama because of race, missed this one: Obama’s strongest bounce is from Republicans and from Southerners!

Support for Obama between Dems is up seven points to 86%; Support between Independents is up eleven points to 52%; but support between Republicans jumped fifteen points: From nine to 24 percent!

Based on the four regions, Obama is up weakest in the West (five points to 54%); followed by the Mid-West and North-East (both areas up eight points); but is up EIGHTEEN points in the South.

These results show that those “Racists Republicans” are more than willing to tip their hats for Obama when he does something good for a change.

The MSM and all polls or at least all the ones I’ve ever heard of that make it to the MSM are merely the Official Propaganda Division of the Left.

ROTFLMAO!

“He acted like a real American president”.

Yeah, had to be pulled off the golf course, brought in to the situation room, sits in the corner like something the cat dragged in, and had nothing to do with the goings on whatsoever, except to try to abort or stall it.

Anyone who thinks the usurper had anything positive to do with the action is drinking koolaid.

The basic rule to apply is this: The arrogant do not get any good credit until they become humbled.

Pretty much the point ~ Obama does something we like his points go up.

If he'd like to hit the jackpot he could invite Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chucky Schumer and Joe Biden on a hunting trip in Wyoming, but first they climb up on some rocks to pet the goats!

If the bounce comes from those groups, it probably won’t last long...

Well, then at the very least, he got the heck out of the way.

Do you think the DUmmies are at all happy that “their guy killed bin Laden”?

That’s probably one of the reasons he was so reluctant and in fact, from what I’ve read, wasn’t involved at all, with the decision. His base doesn’t like it. And of course being a muzzie sympathizer at the very least, he has no animosity towards muzzies who want to destroy innocent Americans.

So Zero was reluctantly in tacit agreement - at best! - with this operation. The MSM is really confused - in between a rock and a hard place - they have to picture Zero as a gutsy president who practically offed Bin Laden singlehandedly so he he doesn’t look like the stupid weak buffoon anti-American muzzie lover that he is so Independents will vote for him*, but by so doing they are alienating his only real base, hardcore leftist kooks.

Poor, poor MSM.

*And I’m sure Indepents will not be/have not been fooled by this fakery anyway. The photo tells it like it was.

It is exactly as Rush keeps saying... ALL of these polls are designed to shape opinions and perceptions... not report on them.

if he really wants a boost in the polls, he should resign and take every librat with them to Kenya or someplace.
Other than that, he is SOL in my house.
