I'm sure that this was completely....

Poll results are particularly skewed this time of year. Just look at Hussein’s daily tracking numbers. How does a president that has so much negative information around him post some of his least negative approval numbers for months?

Answer: It’s vacation season. The people that are most likely to give Hussein negative numbers are, on a precentage basis, less likely available to take part in polls. Same goes for this poll. All those with their hands out are the ones home and available to take polls.

I’m not saying the economy is recovering, far from it, but I believe this number is artificially low and too drastic a drop. I don’t want to hear next month or the month after, when a more realistic number is attained, that somehow it’s an indication of recovery.
