That's what I was thinking, Tx. Doesn't make it any less frustrating, though. I can't help but wonder who in the hell these people are that are being polled. Quinnipeac had a poll earlier this week that did show erosion, particularly among Independents.
I can see them asking the questions this way:
1) Do you support the Affordable Care Act?
2) Do you think unemployment is still too high?
3) Do you think the economy is on the right track?
4) Do you think that the truth needs to come out about (insert scandal)
Then turn around as ask these questions:
1) Do you like/support what President Obama is doing to ensure everyone has health care?
2) Do you like/support what Obama is doing to bring jobs to those who are unemployed/under employed?
3) Do you like/support what President Obama is doing to revive the economy?
4) Do you like/support President Obama's efforts to resolve the (insert scandal here)
Even the pollsters help divide the President from his own policies in the way they ask the questions.
That mixed with footage of him in his constant campaign mode helps to create the image that he's out there fighting against the mysterious "they's" and "them's" opposing his efforts to put the country back on the right track.
