For better or worse, Sarah Palin is jumping into the mix and backing Angle.

For all the crap Reid threw at her, he 1--never got more than 5 points ahead of Angle, 2--she never went below 40 percent, 3--he never went ABOVE 50 percent, 4--two weeks later, they're tied again.

He's screwed so hard.

Though, he did try to score points coming out against the Mosque in Manhattan.

Wouldn't surprise me if the guy is really in favor of it...

-18 today.

Looks like he peaked at -14 yesterday.

It's not quite there yet. Maybe when it gets to somewhere in the -30s...

Although I have noticed a very slow, but steady increase in that red graph.

-12 today?  I think it was -15 yesterday.  What's up with that?

-12 today?  I think it was -15 yesterday.  What's up with that?

This poll is controlled by the mushy middle, and the way its designed makes it prone to wild swings. To explain -

Lets say Obama is at -20, which indicates a 20 point gulf between very happy and very unhappy. Now, most polled in those groups aren't changing for anything - there are about 24% hardcore moonbats, and about 40% are smart enough to be against Obama's agenda.

That leaves about 36% in the mushy middle, who either somewhat approve or  disapprove of Obama. Now lets say Obama says or does something that shifts the middle's opinion of him by three points.. three points leave the disapprove line, while three points move into the approve line.

So that three point shift reflects as a 6 point drop in this chart, bringing Obama from -20 to -14 overnight.

Of course the reverse is true as well, which is why Obama reclaims his -20 in a few days.

These data are also partly why I have been saying for months that -20 is pretty much the apex of this poll, because there is no budging the 40% who disapprove or the 24% moonbat index. And until Obama does something to personally affect the lives of the 36% in the middle, they will not take a solid enough stand to show up in this poll.

To continue...



These two lines highlight the moonbat index as well as the intelligent people. One line never drops below 40% anymore, and the other always hovers at 24%.

The good news is that the intelligent people's line is still slowly creeping up - its been at 40% for only the last 6 months or so.. previously it was at about 36-37%.. Unlike the moonbat index which has been consistent for nearly a year.

We'll start rolling out our Ohio poll results tomorrow but there's one finding on the poll that pretty much sums it up: by a 50-42 margin voters there say they'd rather have George W. Bush in the White House right now than Barack Obama.  ...

WTH?  For several days it was hanging around -12 or 13, then it dropped to -16, I think, but now it has plummeted to -21 again.  I thought the talk about Mid East peace talks would give him a boost.

Something caused a drop for Mr. Popularity in the last few days.  Wonder what it could have been.

Part of it is the housing situation.

It was in our local paper last Sunday, that we have a 22 month supply of houses in the area. That's based on 778 houses selling PER MONTH. By the end of October, we will be dead until January if the weather is nice, February or later if it sucks.

If my area is in that bad of situation....there are a lot of places that are a whole lot worse. :(

Or the fallout from the Martha's Vineyard vacation. Or the recent bad economic news. Or the fact that the WH is obsessed with suing Arizona sheriffs. Or the fact that Obama *reported* the state to the UN. Or all of the above and more.

I'm just wondering when the overall will go under forty, it's bound to happen soon.

And when people see that the Bush tax cuts AREN'T going to be extended for ANYBODY, and the proles see just how much "hopey changey" REALLY costs them, watch the numbers to get even worse.

When those tax cuts expire, it's going to further ruin the American economy and mood and will be the one thing that will make these numbers fall even more. Doubt the GOP could get him to agree to a limited extension, he's that far-left. -23 and dropping . . .
