Unreal. I wonder if this is statistical noise. The next few days should give us an indication.

I hope it’s just statistical noise, but he’s been trending up, especially in overall approval, since late last week. I wonder what gives...

The Kenyan’s poll numbers are rising. Not good.

Tax the rich, blame do nothing congress, blame Wall St, OWS mau maus, 2nd quarter GDP growth, Libya? What could it be?

Well I think we’re all greatly underestimating something. For the first time in my life that I can ever remember the “tax the rich” “screw them for their success” is not a just a fringe element of people anymore. What I mean by this is I don’t believe it’s just the OWS people. I think there are people you would not expect in your neighborhoods, daily lives, who secretly are angry at the rich and want them punished. I think there is an undercurrent out there in the country where people who have either stayed stagnant in their salaries or have had financial difficulties are blaming the wealthy for it.

I’ve never seen anything like that before in America, and its awful. Point is, I think it’d be unwise for the GOP candidates, and the right overall to dismiss the class warfare angle as a singular radical left wing OWS idea. I think it has gained traction, and I think people who don’t identify with the left or the radicalism of it are actually starting to agree with. Which is terrifying.

That’s my guess. If this keeps happening, we’ve got a trend. But otherwise, it’s not to be believed. He hasn’t done anything to cause this boost.

It could be noise but also could be due to the hate campaign in the media against the republican challengers. Meanwhile, obama has had nothing but suckups reporting on him.
