I didn't look back very far but I believe that Saturday's 5-point drop was the biggest single day down-swing for Obamugabe.

Way outside the statistical noise and that being downward is a good sign.

This poll has gone into full ping pong mode. It bounces around more that a bumper car full of flubber. I don’t know what is causing all the volatility, all the news seems to be bad. And that wouldn’t cause volatility, just a steady downward pressure. We are seeing that in Gallup *(42a 50d) but Ras is jumping around a lot the last week. I’m going to wait for a week of steady numbers before I try to read the tea leaves out or Ras.

Some Interesting internals from both Rasmussen and Gallup.

Rasmussen
73% See Significant Deficit-Cutting Agreement As Unlikely Before 2012 Election

Just 22% Support Government-Assisted Mortgage Payments

Overall, only half of his approval is strong and 75-80% of disapproval is strong. Landslide if it stays that way.

22%

Pretty much matches his Strong Approval base, huh?

These are the folks who “support Government-Assisted existence”.

Out of 975 polling data points from RAS Daily Approval Index, the Won has only been -22 or more 31 times.

IMHO Hussein is a two termer. The GOP better take over control of the Senate and increase it's House lead. I think this is the only way to stop the MARXIST that illegally sleeps in the White House. The GOP will not even touch the subject of whether he is a NBC or not, that is the power of Hussein's propaganda machine. If he is not stopped you are looking at the end of America as we all knew her.

And your reasoning as to why less than a -22 negative portends an Obama reelection?

Mass delusions are hard to overcome. Obama is the avatar, the concentrated grey droplet of every liberal, Marxist, liberal arts sophomore, immature, passive-aggressive ethos, peace-nik, coexistory, rainbow-unicorn, ideal since FDR died.

The RAS daily has NEVER had the messiah's total approval below 41%. IMHO his total approval as of late should be perhaps about 25%. He has a HARD CORE LEFT base made up of blacks and hispanics, the gay community, and all those riding in the wagon - remember 51% of all Americans do NOT PAY federal income taxes. The GOP MUST TAKE THE SENATE, and stop the messiah from nominating another libtard to SCOTUS, giving the libtards a majority on SCOTUS. Such an event will assure him that Obamacare will not be shot down at the SCOTUS level. That is more important than the left ideologues keeping the WH. We can stop him even if he extends his stay in the WH for another four years if we can get a majority of conservatives in the Congress. As many RINOs as possible must be tossed also.

So if I’m to understand, you don’t doubt Obama’s vulnerability.

You think taking the Senate back is more important than the presidency, because only the Senate can stop a liberal Obama SC nomination, but wouldn’t replacing Obama also stop the same?

Nope, I don't doubt that he is vulnerable, but with this performance he is turning in - certainly the worst in my lifetime - he should be at much much lower approval numbers. He has a base and maybe the big issue is will this radical base take off their slippers, get their marching shoes on and march to the polls.

YES taking over the top slot is preferable, but I also want the GOP to put the financial resources and field the candidates so they can take control of the Senate and can work as a back stop in case Obozo is given his second four years in which to destroy America. There is a disturbingly large portion of America that really want Capitalism destroyed and replaced with Socialism. If that is what we want as a country then amend the Constitution to that effect - Obozo does not get to do such transformation just because he holds the temporary office of Prez for four year. He has to be stopped in any manner thinkable.
