I generally look at the “strongly” categories as the toughest to move. Instinctively, it would seem most likely that a move into “strongly disapprove” would be pretty permanent, unless it is the moonbats temporarily disheartened, but looking anxiously for a reason to switch back. The “strongly approve” are the hardcore liberals, and even a move into the “approve” category might be encouraging. Or not....

The "strong disapproves" are likely to voice their disapproval, and have reasons they can articulate. The "strong approves" are likely to try to stop conversations of disapproval about Obama, by having screaming fits until people just decide to avoid the topic to keep the peace.
There are now going to be more conversations where the strong disapprovers will be able to talk without being screamed at. We may be close to the tipping point.

Given the overall population has about 30% bammy cultists...it’s the other 70% we’re mainly concerned with. Of those - say around 15 - 18% ‘somewhat approve’ and about 10 - 15% ‘somewhat disapprove’ and 41% now ‘strongly disapprove’.
That means that 29% or so are in the somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove category - that is where we’ll see further movement to ‘strongly disapprove’ and what will cause electoral gains in 11/2010.
It’s amazing that 80% of the ‘disapprove’ in Rasmussen’s poll now ‘strongly disapprove’ which leads me to think that once you figure out who BHO is, there’s a very strong likelihood you will strongly disapprove.
All of these are good trends.
Another good trend that I’m seeing at work. Bammy is no longer as ‘cool’ among the twenty somethings I work with (I’m 43 - so I still am fairly able to interact with that crowd on some level). They are not talking about him as much, nor wearing his T-shirts. If it’s no longer cool to support Obama, it won’t be cool to support his insane legistlation, either.
I think they’re starting to become embarassed by him, meaning we could see a real shift in that population, that are basically ignorant in their politics and gave Bammy a ‘shout out’ as the first black president (that’s about what it amounted to for a lot of these that bothered to vote.)
