“What is so strange about these results is that the Messiah loses 5 points in one day in his strongly approve-strongly disapprove number must remains the same in his approval number (49%). Very odd.”

His mentally ill and rabid core still loves him. The shift is probably coming from independents and some blue dog voters.

While this is good news I wouldn't get too excited. The Strongly Approve figure is unusually low at 28%. The norm is around 30% and it has been varying up and down a couple of points from that value for quite some time. Today it hit the low end of the range. It could easily be 32% in a few days.

OTOH, the long term trend is still, IMHO, down. And the Big Speech Bump, while mostly gone, is still wearing off. This weeks Big Bump Plan is the Olympics for Chicago Ploy. I really doubt this one will work in his favor. And next week? Who knows. What is certain is that the Obama team will work something every week to try to get his ratings headed back in the right direction. So far they have been unsuccessful.

Would we rally behind this president if our country was attacked by a foreign entity?

Seriously, I’m having problems answering that question, as I know his tendency to NOT want to protect the country or its citizens.

Speaking of blue dogs...have you seen this video? It's hilarious.

Let’s send the Magic Negro back to the craphole he crawled out of.

Oops, you forgot to credit that racist rag, the Los Angeles Times and their contemptible contributor, David Ehrenstein, for the moniker, "Magic Negro."

Considering he never won an NBA title, it’s very nice of the Danes to give Patrick Ewing the red carpet treatment like that.

Japanese book out, saw it on the stacks just the other day (display table actually up at the front of the Japanese bookstore) with a chapter with one premise that Barack Obama is going to only last 2 years as president.

It was not as you think; I think they were hinting at a nervous breakdown or simply resigning because of either scandal or inability to do the job.

I gotta get ahold of that book for FR for a quick synopsis, also see if the author is legit. But it did jump off the book table at me when I saw it here in Tokyo.

Obama dropped 5 points among voters that felt strongly about him (whether positive or negative); some people that somewhat disapproved now strongly disapproved of his performance, while some people that strongly approved now only somewhat approve. But if his 49% approval and 51% disapproval stayed the same, I have to believe that the shift came not among independents and Blue Dogs (groups whose members tend to be in the “somewhatapprove” or “somewhat disapprove” categories, but among liberal Democrats that moved from “strongly approve” to “somewhat approve” and moderate Republicans that moved from “somewhat disapprove” to “strongly disapprove.”

Of course, a 5-point shift in a single day (even when using a three-day average)is probably best explained by a difference in the poll sample.

Interesting that they see those qualities in him as so many of us also do. And unless you are the author, I doubt he is a freeper. (:
