They must have taken this poll at a Kool Aid party somewhere in Nigeria or at Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid’s house(s).

I’m not buying any of their Goebbel’s-style propaganda between now and November. Everywhere I go, the mere mention of Zero’s name causes instantaneous profanity.

Breathe easier, ExTexasRedhead. Most Gallup polls, including this one, sample "all Americans." But practically speaking, they'll interview anyone with a pulse and include his or her responses in their results. The respondent need not even be a citizen, let alone a registered voter or a likely voter. This sampling technique makes the 'Rats look better than they would if one were polling to try to approximate the result of an election.

On the other hand, Rasmussen's presidential approval tracking poll, which includes only registered voters, has Zero's approval index at -13 (Strongly approve 25% - strongly disapprove 38%). Overall, it's 47% approve vs. 51% disapprove. When you consider that Republicans are statistically much more enthusiastic about voting against Obama than 'Rats are about supporting him, this tends to portend deep trouble for his re-election chances.

Incidentally, the Rasmussen's Congressional generic ballot (likely voters only) has the GOP with a three point edge (43-40).

Furthermore, there are whispers that the Obama WH may be colluding with friendly pollsters to fudge publicized results.
