Why oh why aren’t the Pubbies going on “drill here, drill now” mantra??
“If gas prices go much higher, Obama’s average will drop even further.”
Maybe some of his minions will get tired of the “Obama Apology Tour” as well.
“If gas prices go much higher, Obama’s average will drop even further.”
And they will continue rising, because the printing-press treatment to funding runaway spending is triggering a dollar free-fall.
Keep exposing this marxist fraud!
no one is focused on gas, man. The last time I saw a news report on it, I swear to God, the “journalist” said higher gas prices were GOOD NEWS because it meant demand was higher—thus the economy was improving.
I about spewed beer all over my tv screen.
His family vacation on taxpayer money will bring it back up. ;^)
I prefer to her the Pubbies saying..”Why can Iran have clean, green, cheap nuclear power, but we can’t?”
The RCP average is inflated. I go with Ras’ numbers, which have his approval at 54%.
That’s not bad but it’s hardly fawning.
What’s the point of having an ‘average’ of polls if most of them are atrocious?
They really need to toss out the polls that have no correlation to reality. Which basically just leaves Rasmussen.
For what it is worth, Rasmussen has Obozo up only 8 points with a 54 percent total approval rating.
More significantly, Rasmussen announced today the Great One is tied when considering "Strongly Approve" vs. "Strongly Disapprove."
This has to be extremely troubling for the Rats given the early stage of Bam-Bam's reign, the steady downtrend, and the likelihood of more bad news in the future concerning the economy, terrorism, corruption, etc.
The Obama loving MSM may not focus on gas prices, but consumers (repub, indie, or dem) are now getting a financial jolt everytime gas is pumped.
Bingo!!!! That’s perfect!
The GOp should say both - Dril Here and Drill now and Iran gets nuke power but we don’t.
Also point out that Pelosi, Reid and Hussein want America to keep giving $750 billion a yewar to Hussein’s bosses the Saudis when we have FOUR times the Saudis oil reserves.
Lets not worry about Obama poll numbers till summer of 2012. Lets get good conservative candidates to run in local, state and national elections starting now. As things stand now the Dems will hold the House and add seats in the Senate in 2010.
Here's the real truth. All the tensions Obama pointed out will never go away. However, through open dialogue, institutions of freedom, and elections that put real leaders in charge, the tensions can be dealt with in a way that a majority can accept.
Puting anything ahead of freedom in the Muslim world will ultimately be a freakin’ waste of time. Until Muslims can treat each other with respect and dignity, there is absolutely no reason to believe they would treat outsiders with respect and dignity.
So, Iraq has started on the path towards freedom. It may or may not work as we all know. Wouldn't it be nice if Jordan had an election and Syria allowed a newspaper or two to be printed with real news in it? Show me that and then, I'll start thinking about some of things that US ‘May’ need to improve on. Until that day arrives, the Muslims will continue to strike me as very unsophisticated, uneducated, and untrustworthy.
9.4% unemployment, dollar will tank with inflation driving gas over $3.00 a gallon easy. The job market is non existent. The college kids who voted for O must have been on crack because graduates will find no jobs.
Meanwhile Obama is praising Islam and bashing America.
No good purpose other than to dilute the influence of the ones that are most unreliable in his favor.
I prefer to stick with Ras. Meta-analysis and other data combination techniques have a place, but not when the methodology is misleading. And I do think it is misleading to poll people who dont vote or are unlikely to vote. Also, I wouldnt call it atrocious to use live interviewers. But I think Ras has a very good argument that you get a more honest answer with his automated polling when you are asking people about their opinion of the "first black president" (or any question where a person might be concerned about giving an answer that might be perceived as racist.)
Yeah, that’s like the unemployment being 9.4% was good because the unemployment claims were less than they expected.
So set the expectations extremely high so you can gloat when they only go to 80% of the extreme.
