Not only are the lug nuts loose, but there's a wicked vibration in the steering.

BTW, how do you like obamaddress to the gradeschool kids, including the "worksheet" where the children will answer the question "How can I HELP BARRY!"

Sweet Jesus, the man's a delusional malignant narcissist at best and certifiable at worst. I thought Nixon had a breakdown in office, and here Barry is, ENTERING OFFICE with a "condition"....

It's like he's trying to crash these numbers now . . . parents did NOT think well of that Sept. 8 idea to pipe Obama through every public school in the country, that should make him lose support on top.

Yesterday, he was at -11.  What caused a 2 point drop, the Van Jones news?

Those polls are still a couple of days out. I'd call those 2 points ongoing-tone-deafness-over-healthcare/momentum/margin-of-error

There is a 3 point margin of error so he could be anywhere between 45% and 51%. There does seem to have been a definite step down in support, he hasn't been over 50% since August.  If it drops below 45% then he is completely under water for sure.

50 percent overall.  -8 on the Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll.

Look for some serious movement after his speech tonight.

He's just getting the vacation bump now.  He should learn to leave his job to someone else for longer periods of time ... it does him good.

...maybe a bowel movement.   :uhsure:

I expect a slight bump upward for him after his speech lies last night.  If that doesn't happen, he's in deeper sh*t that even he realizes.

I think that Wilson's diarrhea of the mouth episode will portray Lord Zero as a victim and his approval index will rise a bit.

Of course, Lord Zero wouldn't articulate the truth even if he were capable of knowing it, but it helps sometimes to be the shittee rather than the shitter.

The chart indicates the bounce came from the strongly approve camp who just happened to vote for for this clown. They want to fiind any reason any reason at all to prove their vote was not squandered on Obama.

As I saw someone mention yesterday, when his "heckler" is getting more attention then his speech, we know it was a total flop.

Does three points count as a "bump"?

I was expecting no more than 2, but then I tend to understimate people's stupidity.

There is a pretty reliable percentage of people who strongly disapprove. The percentage of people who strongly approve appears to fluctuate much more and therefore unreliable as support he can count on.

Plus the trends really say it all, strongly disapprove is trending upward, strongly approve is trending downward, blips not withstanding.

Further, some polls count disproportionately democrats. People CLAIN that tthe electorate divides into thirds, R, D, and I. Polls should be so divided. They are almost all not.

It seems that most pollsters are giving the Dems a higher percentage than what voted for 0Bama.

Rasmussen is pretty good about weighting his polls, so I'd say this was probably pretty accurate and Obama's certainly trending upwards now. How long it will last who knows?

He's trending upwards based on getting "strong approval" from the left who had started abandoning him.  If there is no public option in the final bill, his approval ratings will drop and the overall negatives will jump.

I agree, his base really wants that public option in there and he kept it in play on Wednesday night.  Also, his speech was very partisan and not very presidential, the very things that turn on the loony left.

Yes, it's going back up - I wonder if the polling over the last few days or so was "off", I don't know. What is weird is that Rasmussen is reporting today that opposition to Obamacare is at record highs - 55% opposed.
