Imagine there will be a bump after the "announcement" today, but when the details come out, expect it to head back to the -20 range.

-14 today (Friday).

Sixty-nine percent (69%) say that cities don’t have the right to ban handguns. Twenty-three percent (23%) favor a government with more services and higher taxes. Sixty-six percent (66%) would rather see fewer services and lower taxes. Fifty-eight percent (58%) support the proposal for the Postal Service to end Saturday delivery.

Good to see you again, -17.  How was your vacation?

That is why I think his voting samples are so messed up.   The number keeps defaulting to the -17 area.    I believe that is the true number.

That seems to be his base -

One needs to consider that this graph is prone to jitter with the way the score is tabulated by using two related, but not perfectly correlating data sets.

To explain -

Say Obama does something that makes one side happy, and the other side less angry. He will get a bump from the happy folks, and then a second bump from the less angry folks - this results in the wild swings that these numbers are prone to. And, of course the reverse is true.

With the exception of Obama's big speech - each line of this graph has been fairly consistent, even though the numbers have been all over the place.

Still at -17, but I can't imagine it will stay there once the details of his "reconciliation" on healthcare bill come to light.  The American people seem to be less revolted by this administration provided the door is opened on it bit by bit.  Throw it open all at once, and liberalism/progressiveism in this nation ceases to exist, and they know it.

They must be targetting DEMs with the poll questions.

LOL.

Yeah, I saw that on freerepublic like, about 7:30 a.m. central time this morning, and it greatly confused me.

I thought the daily poll wasn't released until 9:30 a.m. central time.

It looks as if someone leaked.

He had to go and start running his mouth about healthcare again. Look at this one Rass stat:

Among those not affiliated with either major political party, 17% Strongly Approve and 45% Strongly Disapprove.

That's the problem.  The GOP is going to get this idiotic idea in their head that they CAN run "just about anyone" and once again ignore the conservative base.  Can you say Mitt Romney?

Overall,43% approve and 56% disapprove now? This is barely the second year into his first (and only) term . . .

Oh no, not him - you'd think Romneycare alone would siink him on a national level, it's quite like Obamacare and now MA has the most expensive healthcare system of all states.

I don't know who I want for 2012 but their first qualification has to be that he/she knows what the hell to do with the economy.
