State-Run Media Already Skewing Polls By 17 Points for Democrats
Wow! The AP poll has Obama’s approval rating hitting 60 percent! And 53 percent say he deserves to be reelected!
And on the economy, 52 percent approve of the way Obama’s handling it, and only 47 percent disapprove! He’s up 54–46 on approval of how he’s handling health care! On unemployment, 52 percent approval, 47 percent disapproval! 57 percent approval on handling Libya! Even on the deficit, he’s at 47 percent approval, 52 percent disapproval!
It is a poll of adults, which isn’t surprising; as I mentioned yesterday, you don’t have to be a registered or likely voter to have an opinion on the president.
But then you get to the party ID: 46 percent identify as Democrat or leaning Democrat, 29 percent identify as Republican or leaning Republican, 4 percent identify as purely independent leaning towards neither party, and 20 percent answered, “I don’t know.â€

I would like to see a poll of red states (state by state) that Obama won in 08. I think Democrats and Obama lose badly in those states. Without them Obama gets stomped in 012. That is the only poll that matters. Including voters in very blue states like CA, NY, OR, MA, etc is meaningless cause we are not going to win those states. It just skews the results.

Huffpo was sold to AOL. So AP is trying to be the #1 clearinghouse for all Liberal Dim-O-Rat talking points
