After addressing the whole nation he’s gone nowhere. Now he’s left shucking and jiving on Letterman and Stephanopolis.

The more Zero fails, the more we ARE headed in the right direction ;-)

If you think his numbers are heading South now, wait until the Afghanistan War starts dominating the news.

That is why he has postponed the decision on troop increases

He wants to see what the MSM will do and then act after the MSM tells him what direction to take

Especially once it gets out that so many of these Afghanistan deaths are mostly or even entirely because of the ROE.

I doubt that’s going to happen anytime soon. The media will do everything in its power to bury any news out of Afghanistan. In fact, they already are.

This is good news. Even though these polls fluctuate, I got a little worried when The Zero hit -3. Whew.

...wait until the Afghanistan War starts dominating the news.

The wife and I did a quick trip up to SW Virginia over the past couple of days for some hiking. During the drive up and back (from the Chattanooga area to just north of Bristol, VA) we noticed dozens of military vehicles being moved south on I-75 and I-81. They were moving Bradleys, Humvees, and MRAPs, all painted desert color. Could be anecdotal, but the last time I saw this many military vehicles being moved south was about two months before the Iraq invasion.....

This is a very interesting index.

Starting at +28 on 1/21/09, it jumped to +30 on 1/22/09. It’s never been anywhere near that high since.

It first turned negative on 6/30/09:
-2 06/30/2009
+1 06/29/2009
0 06/28/2009
+2 06/27/2009
and hasn’t been positive since.

It bottomed at -14 on 8/23/09.

It climbed from -13 on 9/07/09 to -3 on 9/14/09 (nobama’s heathcare lie to the joint session bump) and has fallen like a rock back to -8 today.

Day by day, blow by blow info here:

It will be interesting to see how the Obama TV marathon on Sunday affects this.
