My favorite part is in pdf internals is this line :The decline has occurred entirely among women registered voters – from 57-39 percent favorable-unfavorable in April to a numerically negative 46-50 percent now."

and for every percentage point Obummer loses, his sycophantic media loses at least five.

Their credibility is flushing down the dirty, smelly, sewer where they belong.

What are the real numbers in this poll? I mean the actual job approval, generic ballot and match up number? Personal favorability data is interesting, but not as important as the other stuff.

Obama’s “personal popularity” is a mirage... he has been getting a free ride up until now. Clint Eastwood signaled the gloves are coming off.

Say what you want, but when women can see a guy like this favorable by 57/39 in the first place, we’ve got a serious problem.

Nobody had to see what this vapor trail was going to do. He was unqualified to be president, pure and simple. And I’m not even talking about his birth deficit.

46% of women today STILL think this guy is good? Honest to G ladies... What the hell are you thinking with?

Men in the poll rated Obama 50%-47% favorable.

It’s way worse than that. Obama and the MSM are tanking. Even though I live in Montana, we still had old & young who wanted to give his hope and lies a try.

You cannot find a person who will defend this Idiot now. Mostly you hear people screaming at the Matt Liars of GMA who are trying desperatly to not only prop themselves up but the -1 who they pray will save their networks with federal funds.

Lowest since 1980. That wouldn’t be when Jimmy was polled would it. Imagine if the socialist frauds in the media weren’t covering his behind. Judging by the numbers decline you can see his TOP NOTCH APPOINTED ADVISERS are right on the money, as usual.

"... The decline has occurred entirely among women registered voters – from 57-39 percent favorable-unfavorable in April to a numerically negative 46-50 percent now. That’s Obama’s lowest score among women voters – a focus of recent political positioning – in ABC/Post polls since he took office."

Man. The ABC/Washington Post, yet.

Romney had great hair until he was given what for for it 4 years ago. I hope when elected he gets good haircuts again. I wasn’t for Romney but he is a good looking guy, no visible horns. Will be attractive to lots of women.
I think Romney will crush Bambi. I sure hope so, I am so sick of Bambi/ I shut my eyes to read HOTAIR.COM they post so many freaking ugly pics of him.

Looks like the occupation media propaganda machine is still in full tilt. Wow, a poll that has nothing to do with todays political self-identification, nor likely voter turnout.

Romney notched a slight 7-point gain in favorability among women from last week to this, to 41-48 percent, favorable-unfavorable. (Partisan preferences among women are very similar in these polls – Democrat-Republican-independent, 38-27-32 percent last week, 37-28-31 percent this week.)

METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cell phone Aug. 29-Sept. 2, 2012, among a random national sample of 1,022 adults and 842 registered voters. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points for the full sample and 4 points for the sample of registered voters, including design effect. The survey was produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates of New York, N.Y., with sampling, data collection and tabulation by SSRS/Social Science Research Solutions of Media, Pa.

More than that really. The left owns almost the entire entertainment and media establishment. That is a massive advantage and it probably gives the Democrats 5-10 points each election from the local level on up. It is also why the radical left has been so successful at changing our culture for the worse and destroying traditional values.

The new media has really helped, but instead of evening the score it actually had the effect of driving the old media even more left - and that old media, while on the decline, is still the dominant force in terms of reaching people.

That’s plain shocking. Whats more, I don’t believe it.

Perhaps that’s an indication that the female numbers are bogus too.

I’ve been out and about over the last month. I don’t see ANY Obama bumper stickers. In 2008 you couldn’t drive down the street and not see one every block. Most of the time you could look out and see three to five. They’ve all been removed, and they aren’t being replaced by 2012 stickers.

Is that evidence that anything near half the populace wants this guy back?

The media has been lying to one degree or another my entire life. This is the worst I’ve ever seen it.

The only thing Obama had going was that people, especilly women, thought he was a good guy. Two months of negative ads and phoney “war on women” rhetoric has destroyed that perception.

This is my favorite, 27% polled Republican, lol.

I told you folks the polls would begin to become real after Labor Day. The move to reality has started a bit earlier then even I expected. Start measuring the real change in numbers in many different areas. On election day, November 6, 2012, the end result will be Romney/Ryan, 57%, Obama/Biden, 40%, others, 3%. Obama goes down politically big time and takes/destroys a good portion of the Democrat Party with him. Shucks, I certainly warned the Democrat “dirt bags” to broom Obama when they had the chance, months ago.

Watch how Bill Clinton sings the Obama song while he daggars him in the ribs, politically. Hillary will reign supreme as the “only” defacto & actual leader of the remaining Democrat Party!!! Hate to say this, but....I told you so!!!
