scotty is the first pollster to ask about “somewhat approve” of obama... because he is able to keep obama in the mid 40’s to low 50’s approval that way... and he keeps the IRS off of his back at the same time. This particular poll has obama at 45% somewhat approve.
The only time to truly trust polls is right before an election... and even then they can be way off... or if you get to look at internal polling of a campaign... they either get it right for campaigns or never work again.

Everybody’s got opinions. Nothing knew there. A grain or two of salt is usually worth taking when looking at polls.
I agree polls get more accurate as to the final outcome the closer they are to the actual election. But polls can and do reflect a moment in time. That result will change with the next moment in time that is measured. I don’t buy into the crap that all polls are wrong just because some result that one wants doesn’t emerge. If they were crap then companies wouldn’t pay huge dollars to have them taken.
