Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (0 fades to -8)

So with 50-50 support in 2012 puts 0bama in a perfect spot for re-election.
++++++++++++

Some good points - but there is growing furious anger at his socialist policies - and at the least a growing awareness. I think he loses ground in 2010 and is certainly vulnerable in 2012. Plus any of his ‘packages’ that actually get implemented will prove disaster for the economy. That will further hurt him, the further he gets away from his Linus safety blanket of kicking Pres. Bush. What an IDIOT truly we have in our WH and what dim bulb IDIOTs truly we have controlling the Houses of Congress.

It looks like his beerfest bounce has worn off.

He’s sunk down to 50-50 after 6 months. In another 42 months people are going to be looking for some real Hope and Change.

I predict he tanks big time as unemployment continues to rise, and when the liberal nerds posting at Slashdot are groveling for a job at WalMart — that’s when Obama really gets booted out hard.

[Lexinom]

The "strongly" seems to be holding in the -7 to -12 range.

The overall approval is, IMO, the big news, now hovering at around 50% each way.

Obama may be intelligent, but he is not wise. He has street smarts, but so has many a fool.

[Lexinom]

Not so sure yet. Consider the dynamics of fad-ism. Shooting stars wane. People like Bams wear out their welcome. The unknown in the equation is what will fill the vacuum. Thinking about this, the young hipsters of today will be staring at a bleak reality painted in the colors of the actual, tangible results of their perception-driven popular culture married, by their choice, to actual policy-making. They will be forced into the consideration: "You know, things were pretty shizzle before. I was down with it. Maybe mom and dad, grandpa and grandma was right."

>>>>>> This daily tracking was at -12 last week. Now it’s -8?

How did he gain 4 points on this basis after the White House ordering its operatives to “hit back twice as hard” against town hall protestors and the assaults that followed? <<<<<<<<<<

Overall rating did not change. It is still at 50 like/50 dislike.

What spiked was the STRONGLY APPROVE number.

So his statements about fighting moved some of those from the mildly APPROVE into the STRONGLY APPROVE block.

That’s how he jumped.

In other words, 40% of those polled approve of beating up senior citizens who disagree with their Master.

Perhaps we should try to identify those kinds of people and stay as far away from them as humanly possible.........

[ohioWfan]

Make that 4 percent! Yikes.
