No, it’s BAD NEWS. It’s up 5 points from a month ago. We’ve had ACORN for prostitutes, Van Johnson, and ObamaCare since it was at -14 in August. What’s the deal?
I believe his numbers were very low in August because his supporters were angry at him for 'not aggressive enough in defending the health care reform', especially with the rumor that he was ready to drop the public option. In other words, those who thought he was not leftist enough.
IIRC, OTOH, that it’s down from after he made his speech.
It should be much lower. But ACORN and Van Jones were not really reported on by the MSM.
We need to find a vehicle to reach the dumbed down segment of the population.
1 million plus march on DC and it is reported as 70K. So maddening.
He got a bump from his speech to Congress, probably mostly due to the white guilt syndrome since mean old Joe Wilson yelled at him. But in any case he went up to a -4 after the speech. That he has so quickly headed back down to a -9 is indeed good news. After Obama fatigue takes hold from this morning's gab/gag fest on 5 morning shows I think he will soon see his -14 numbers!
No it isn't.
” It’s up 5 points from a month ago.”
Well his overall approval is also down from 65% in January, to only 49% today. That's a fall of 16%.
You are looking at it from the glass is half full point of view. I am looking at it from the glass is half empty point of view.
These weekly/daily fluctuations are pretty much standard in most political polls. Important thing is, 0bozo’s approval ratings have been trending down since he was sworn in, back in January.
” We’ve had ACORN for prostitutes, Van Johnson, and ObamaCare since it was at -14 in August. What’s the deal?”
We've also had a prime time TV address to the congress, that sent his ratings shooting up in the week following that. We should be happy his post speech bounce is fast evaporating. Remember, just a few days ago, his strongly disapprove/strongly approve was at only -3. Today, its at -9. That's just gotta be very good news.

His double-digit negatives occurred during the health care fiasco in August. He was losing his own lefty base because of the talk about losing the public option. However, his speech reassured his base that they will fight for a public option, so that’s why his numbers somewhat rebounded.
Don’t worry; he’s lost most of the Republicans and Indies; it’s his base that is propping up his numbers. Once a final health care is settled upon, and his lefty base sees that there is not a public option, his numbers will drop even more dramatically.
Ooops! Make that Van JONES.
“No, it’s BAD NEWS. It’s up 5 points from a month ago. We’ve had ACORN for prostitutes, Van Johnson, and ObamaCare since it was at -14 in August. What’s the deal?”
The old media’s cover up and minimization of these stories, the old media’s campaign on Joe Wilson and protesters as all being racists but all that will wear off before long.
The deal is that in order for him to go lower, dissatisfaction will have to set in with those who get ALL their news from the Obama National Cheerleaders Association.
