Brand new territory for the young president.

[BornToBeAmerican]

What’s less than 0?

0’s rating

[libh8er]

“President” ? He is a hijacker.

[mdk1960]

Like a runny French cheese that disgusts the average individual, but is extolled by the elitist hovering beside you at the party - that’s the prez we have. And like runny French cheese it rarely lasts long in the open air.

[cicero2k]

I’m going to assume this means (%strongly agree) - (%strongly disagree) = -5.

So how does this compare to other new prez?

We have another new prez?

We’re saved!!!!

[tgusa]

It would be erroneous to infer that approval ratings mean anything to this moron. It will, however, mean something to Dem congressmen from districts in play - where they have credible competition and an informed electorate.

Wag the dog anyone?

No shirttails on this one, that’s for sure.

At the rate it’s going, democrats will be begging Sarah to campaign with them...

where they have credible competition and an informed electorate.

Oh and Big Foot, just as likely to run into him as you will an informed electorate in a blue district. An informed electorate would never have voted for Obozo in the first place. What is needed is a way to transform this American Idol/Batchlorette watching mob into an informed voting public. I have no clue what that might be, if i did I'd be a much richer man.

May I introduce you to the 2nd District of Virginia, where Glenn Nye (D) defeated the incumbent Thelma Drake rather handily by riding 0’s coattails. Nye has already voted against 0 on cap’n’trade. He sees the hand writing on the wall in his essentially conservative district.

[GonzoGOP]

But will they public be informed that Nys mere presence as a (D) keeps Pelosi in control and vote him out, or will they say “Oh he's a good Democrat” and keep pulling the lever for the Democrats and give permanent super majorities in the House and Senate? That bait and switch worked here in Illinois too where a large number of normally red districts went blue because the Democrats ran to the right of the RINOs. But once in DC the still elect Reid and Pelosi to speak for them.

If you look at RCP polls, Rasmussen is an outlier. I wonder why? Can we believe these numbers?

[nhwingut]

[InterceptPoint]

Here is the plot as a 10 moving average through 8 July 2009. The average for the last 10 days is -1 and heading down.

[TexasCajun]

Ice Cream Diplomacy!

[lurk]

The national debt and unemployment rates are unspinnable even by the most active MSM defenders. Add KollyFornia’s crash against their financial brick wall, people are going to be a tad surly if things don’t start to go positive soon.

[liberlog]

Rasmussen has been just about the most accurate pollster for elections. He polls voters versus most of the “approval” polls which poll everyone. The non-voters are least-informed, and the least-informed are most likely to support Obama. That skews his numbers up. Voters are the ones who matter.

[LS]

I have consistently said that the "strongly" category is a fabrication and that the REAL index (normal approve/disapprove) is what we need to watch. Well, the "normal" poll is now also at an all-time high or low, depending: 52%-48%. That ties O's lowest "approve," and is his highest disapprove. Put another way, by July we have gotten exactly back to November 4 when this doofus was elected. But the trend definitely is our friend.

I'm sure you realize, though, that the 33% who "strongly" approve are the radicals and kool-aide drinkers who won't disapprove of him even if he climbs on a stage in Jerusalem and says, "I'm the Anti-Christ. Now, let's go to Babylon and build us a city!"

This is the good question... How did Bush do after 6 months?
