Despite his new populist rhetoric, Obama hasn’t moved to 50%. His gain is likely to be ephemeral.
Probably a poll paid for Obama himself because nothing has happened in the past three weeks that could possibly change any forecasts for him.
The internet is making it really hard for old school politicians to peddle outright lies.
If these damn Republicans stop acting like asses anyone of them could win. Why they fight eachother and not him I so not know.
Look, the polling numbers are not static, they are going to move, but trends and trend lines are what matter. I ain’t buyin what their trying to sell, namely that Obama is on an upswing. There really is no evidence of that. Polling statistical noise is all I see here.
The’re not acting
Obama’s bouncing like a sack of manure
Today, however, Quinnipiac reports a moderate boost in Obama’s standing to 47/49, up from last month’s 41/55:
Just a wet fart in the scheme of things...FAIL!
His rating could have also taken a drop.
Obama’s biggest problem is overexposure. There’s no mystery to him and no change in rhetoric can conceal his policies or lack of them.
No poll this quarter has showing him hitting 50% and registered voter polls are Democrat-friendly.
Until the sampling data shows 35% Rep, 35% Dem, 30% Ind, there is not a lot of honest information to be gleaned from this. Whenever I see a poll result, I check the bias that they have built in and it reliably skews the results. This one, like most, is crap.
These are not the demographics of the poll, at least not thr important ones.
We need to see the %’s of Rep,Dems and Ind included in the survey. Liberal pollsters have a habit of oversampling the dems by anywhere from 6-8 points.
After that there would need to be other polls confirming these numbers. The only news last month, especially when this poll was taken was the market set a near term record for gains in the month of Sept.
There are ignorant people out there who believe the market is the economy, it is not.
“I still laugh when I remember FOX news reporter going out and talking to blacks in line that said they were waiting for their Obama money.”
Non-Breaking news: They are still waiting and they will vote for him anyway.

This is not even high enough on the polling quality scale to qualify as bullshit.
See my post #15.
1000%....the Boehner better get his a$$ in gear as well...
Obama is very likely to be reelected, because the false beliefs among our people that led to his election in the first place have not really changed.

Obama is getting a fairly significant Gallup bump as well. He was down in the high 30’s for awhile, but as of today he is back to 45% approval.
Class warfare rhetoric works. Also, the occupypublicparks crowd have helped him change the subject from government incompetence and debt to the supposed evil banks. The reason the media give these vermin sitting in parks so much positive coverage is they know it will help Obama - and it looks like it is.
