Interesting He still has a 21 percent cushion between overall "approve" and "strongly approve" compared to a 10 percent cushion between overall "disapprove" and "strongly disapprove."

I'm not sure how to interpret that.

I'm not sure how to interpret that.

Of course i am biased against the Usurper, but those numbers are actually good for us. Close to half of those who say they approve are in the lukewarm category (not strongly) and may be more easily disposed to moving into the disapprove column. The large numbers of strongly disapprove are more entrenched in their position (and it would seem that the 2% decrease in strongly approve probably came from the far lefties, who are unhappy with him this week.)

I don't either. The only caveat here is that the worse the numbers are for Hussein, the more likely and the closer we get to a new “crisis” - the kind that they do not like to waste.

For instance: what if Hussein brings pressure on two more states to pass a nonbinding resolution calling for a Constitutional Convention? That would make 34 states with such resolutions, and Congress would be forced to call that Convention, wherein the current Constitution is virtually assured to be totally rewritten to enumerate the powers of government, not the people.

Good point.

It has been like that almost all the time in Rasmussen’s tracking poll. What it means is that his support is much more lukewarm than the hard-felt opposition.

Now, remember that Rasmussen is polling likely voters, but who do you think is most likely to go and vote, and who is most likely to try to convince his/her friends to vote, the strongly approve/disapprove or the somewhat approve/disapprove voter?

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....
