Well .. I would hardly call 46% a downfall .. since he was at 45% in 2004 when he won the re-election.
And .. that's the very point I'm trying to make. There is no downfall .. it's all an illusion. An intentional illusion.
And .. when the liberals do polls they use "adults" - meaning they are a person with no particular political anything - and they're over 18 - that's it. We have found that most of these people tend to be college students. Now I ask you - just what does a college student today know - NOTHING!
Secondly, the next category is "registered voters" - which doesn't necessarily mean they vote regularly if at all - but those people do produce higher numbers for the conservative side of the fence.
But .. the best results is gained from "LIKELY VOTERS" - why ..?? Because people who are the most likely to vote are the people who watch the news, who get info from the internet, who are aware of politics, etc. They make the most informed POLL TAKER. That's why the liberals never use them - but use "adults" instead. Are you getting the picture ..??
You can get any answer you want - if you use the right sample and ask the right questions. That's what CBS and their ilk do all the time - but that doesn't mean that any of their polls resemble anything accurate or "a trend".
With all the information available to us today, we have no excuse for being so ignorant about the ploys of the old media.
Again, this isn't an electoral poll, and doesn't claim to be one. You're trying to accuse it of being one, and pointing why it's not.
It simply isn't. It's a job approval poll, and likely voters, registered voters, non-voters, are irrelevant to that. The question is what do Ameicans think of the President's job performance. That is all.
Now... we can extrapolate from that a bit and make assumptions. If his numbers don't go back up before November, it will probably be bad for Republicans. But that's just us using this information to predict the future. The poll itself doesn't claim to, or try to, do that.
