Obama has crashed the bus!

Anyone with a brain knew this guy was a fraud from the get-go.

Thanks for waking up a year too late America

[rom]

What a slap in the face of Gallup that the KOS kids have a more accurate poll that they do!

[y6162]

Nice thing about this trend is that there’s no good news on the horizon. Just more bad news....more bad press....more bad everything. =)

I think if the Kenyan Imposter wags the dog - which I think the Gates affair was - it will backfire as well.

[Huskrrrr]

I never thought of the PU as being accurate.

Response: So what! As the man said: "I do not care whether or not you love me as long as you fear me."

[ExTexasRedhead]

May his numbers go into the toilet bowl along with Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Murtha, Rangel, Dodd, Frank and the rest of the feces.

An nobody fears the white house wuss who throws like a girl.

This hidden camera photo, taken by an anonymous source under extremely secretive precautions, captures President Obama and advisor David Axelrod as they react to recent polling trends.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

The U.S.S. Obama has a major leak....

[MrEdd]

Woo! Tribune Co. forced to admit O’bungler becoming increasingly unpopular.

[The Wizard]

what do these numbers mean? (x/x-x)

what do these numbers mean? (x/x-x)

Could be the dates these sources were last graded.

I wish the Blue Dogs would look at this data. That's why Zero is desperate to get them to pass his idiotic health plan right now. And why they endanger their re-election if they do.

what do these numbers mean? (x/x-x)

They appear to be lifted from this page, a ranking of the major polling organizations' accuracy in predicting the 2008 presidential election.

The numbers are the dates over which the polls were taken. Single asterisk flags polls that overestimated McCain, double-asterisk polls that were dead on, and no asterisk polls that overestimated Obama.

these are a ranking of the major polling organizations’ accuracy in predicting the 2008 presidential election.

The numbers are the dates over which the polls were taken. * = polls that overestimated McCain, ** = polls that were dead on, and no asterisk polls that overestimated Obama. (thanks to cynwoody)

Says who? The Pewk Research Center is dominated by lefties - as are most of the polling entities. Leftist pollsters tend to use methodology which skews the ultimate results in the direction that makes them - and their leftist clients - feel better. I wouldn't be surprised if the "real" Obama approval number (which depends upon how you pose the question) is a few points less than the 54 reported by Pewk.

[justiceseeker93]

Of course, in determining the accuracy of these polls in the presidential race, you have to consider that O’s vote wasn’t quite as great as reported officially due to the massive fraud and cheating that occurred!
