Random noise had the communist druggie hit the same low level on approval that he's been near for a week or so along with a positive blip to nearly his high on disapproval. If he holds at that low approval though, it may be enough to save America as a free country with a limited government.

Socialism Delenda est.

I don’t have cable tv, and it is interesting what I DON’T see on network news. I may have missed it; but, I have seen nothing on gunwalker...and I mean nothing at all. I have also seen nothing about bad solar loans.

Most people still get their news from the networks...and I have seen nothing on the Obama scandals.

Revealing black racism is inherently racist...
I don’t make the rules, I just point them out...

OOOPS! I guess even THAT makes ME a “racist”.

Back to the SA “floor” of 19%. THIS (imo) is THE number to watch.

The Strong Approves are where Obama would get his contributors, advocates, organizers, and campaign volunteers. He started out at 44% Strong Approves after Inauguration Day, and is now down to less than half that. This indicates his support is dispirited and unenthusiastic, while his opposition (80% of disapproves are Strong Disapproves) really dislike him.

A couple of important indicators will be today's West Virginia governor special election, and next month's state legislature elections. If they go against the Dems, look for Dem Party leadership to decide that Obama is now an unacceptable liability.

Interesting.

I’d think the opportunity would be in peeling off more ‘somewhat approves’, rather whittling his absolute base down into the lower teens.

But we don’t want him in single digits until right before the general election.

Tricky issue: Is it better to get rid of Obama now and have the risk of Hillary being a stronger candidate, or is it better to keep Obama on the ballot but risk another four years of his regime. I don't know the answer to that one. Hillary is far more capable than Obama, but it's not clear whether that is a good thing in someone who wants power over others as Hillary does.

I’m examining it from an “indicator” angle,
and I gather from your post, you’re more of a strategy angle guy.

Yep... you are correct... dims would never do something like that! stephanopolis interviewed obama this morning and he was spewing venom unlike any politician that I have ever seen. He blamed republicans, tea party people, Conservatives and whites for ALL of the problems in America... he says that the American people KNOW that he has tried to be the most bipartisan president ever... that he has tried to compromise with our side but that we are evil and liars and anti-American. This pos cannot be anywhere near these polling numbers... Americans by and large do not like hate mongers and obama is the KING HATE MONGER. stephanopolis was orgasmic with obama this morning.

I would consider a disillusioned core base sometimes a reverse indicator, as it would suggest that he was moving more to the middle. Likewise, when that core base number improves, it may mean he’s done something to mollify the far left—at the cost of more moderate voters.

Yet, even those disillusioned base voters would still be certain to vote for him in 2012, IMO.

As someone else pointed out, though, the SAs are the contributors as well.

“Reduced enthusiam” will be 0bama’s downfall in 2012.
His base just won’t turn out to vote for him.
They did so in 2008 because of the unspoken promise of getting a big check out of “the stash”.

Yes, we’ll be saved from the Marxists, but then we’ll have to fight to save America from the “Republicans.”
