The poll also notes that the two Democratic possibilities in the 2010 Senate race - Lee Fisher and Jennifer Brunner - beat both the Republican possibilities in the Senate race, former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman and car dealer Tom Ganley. Having said that, nobody polls above 37 percent in any of those hypothetical matchups, and no one is below 30 percent, so there's still a lot of undecideds, not yet thinking that hard about a Senate race that's more than a year away.
0bama doesn’t care about polls. He’s wrecking America and as long as he can continue to do so is all that matters to him.
2012 Elections? There might not be any.
Yet the MSM say 0bama “enjoys popularity in the polls.”
Im confused...
Thanks for posting this interesting data.
You are comparing apples to oranges. Obama has been in office less than 6 months. Let’s see what his approval rating is after four or eight years.
California will not be bailed out directly - our benevolent overlords think, perhaps appropriately, that the sheeple will fail to make any connection with a bailout of the banks California is now endowing with generous quantities of IOUs (both directly, and indirectly). Not all paper is made equal - the IOUs are not printed with the magical fairy dust in the possession of the treasury.
Anyway, summary: California offloads a portion of its deficit to the banks, the banks are too big to fail, the federal government rescues the banks. On the surface (bank rescue), everything appears to follow the Bush-Obama bailout paradigm. In reality, it is a cash transfer from middle America (future generations especially) to the California arm of the NEA and other public “works” unions.
The time for bullets in heads was 1913. We are at the stage of looking for ointment to apply between our wrists and shackles now.
Yes, I am threatening long-dead people! Hopefully no agency comes for me...lol.
I understand. If the trend continues, that's true.
My cursory search only comes up with a couple of years on the rasmussen site.
I'd like to see exactly what moose04 and kabar says: an overlay from Bush 2001 vs Obama 2009. In all the reporting and tons of articles, I've only seen snippets....not a full overlaid graph....anyone?
But I don't think 2001/2009 is directly relevant since 9/11 skewed Bush's popularity. Actually 2009 vs 1977 might be more interesting.
I wasn’t strongly disapproving of W at any point, but he sure took a lot of positions and actions that I disapproved of!
“But I don’t think 2001/2009 is directly relevant since 9/11 skewed Bush’s popularity.”
I was talking about 7/7/01 vs 7/7/09, obviously a pre-911 comparison.
“He’s not 0bama, he’s -3bama now” If he drops 3 more feet, he will be at the same level as Michael Jackson.......
Oh, we were talking points? Either way!
How was he six months into his presidency . Apples to apples
Good point. The Feds could use some of the $68 billion in paid-off TARP funds to “buy” the IOUs, never redeem them and bail-out California that way...
hh
This State is KEY to his re-election plans!
Way to go O.H.I.O!
Are there approval rating polls for every state? It would be interesting to see them.
Okay!

Turns out my wife had related this to me from a sequence she saw on Glen Beck's show. There was a reference to MA and NY’s fianancial problems, and some mention was made of the possibility of IOU’s, California style. She doesn't think it was an OFFICIAL consideration, just some “expert's” opinion.
So, take it for what its worth. My own opinion is that these socialist paradises, including Europe, are still enjoying the fruits of the largesse of Capitalism past, but inevitably the bill will come due. Thus, absence another Zero bailout, or a sudden lightning bolt of fiscal sanity, IOUS are an unavoidable part of the financial future of MA and NY.
We’re talking pre-9/11 2001. That’s what you have to compare Obama’s to. i.e. Bush in July of 2001. Keep in mind this was after a highly polarizing Florida recount. I think Bush was as popular as Obama at this same time.
