The first two polls confirm each other.
There is no way that Obama could jump to 60% support among INDEPENDENTS.
Remember Gallup now shows him at 35% approval with indies.
I think you meant contradict each other.
I can see the reason for your skepticism, but I think what the polls are showing is that the same people that “disapprove” of Obama, “disapprove” of Sarah in comparison to him. Essentailly, they are unhappy with Obama, but even more unhappy with Sarah.
It makes no sense to me.
