Ask the admin to change the title... it’s MINUS 19.

Got this in an email and had to share:

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim. It’s pronounced “Gonna re-elect ‘em,” and it is a terrible obamanation.

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008...but now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-2 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.

It’s sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose in 2010 and the second dose in 2012 and simply don’t engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.

Several states are already on top of this, like Virginia and New Jersey , and apparently now Massachusetts , with many more seeing the writing on the wall.

Please pass this important message on to all those bright folk you really care about.

some had been falsely coaxed into a feeling of economic stability because their stock portfolio was back up above 11,000. The shaky economic news the past 10 days is taking its toll on O.

I think it’s interesting that the number of strong disapprove, 44%, is equal to the total approve, including strong and weak.

This is not a low for the Marxist in chief.
Some months ago he was at -21.
The fact that 25% of the voters still love him is sickening enough...blacks at probably 95 percent, and the rest, a collection of the brain dead, and neo-Marxist.

The 44% strongly disapprove is a nice number, since it had been stuck in the 40 to 42% range. I hope it keeps trending up. Historically, there’s been much more fluctuation in the “strongly approve” number, so its good to see an uptick on the strongly disapprove.

His ratings would be much lower if not for his racist black following.

Without the 95% racist support, he “Strong Approval” would drop to 16-19%.

That 25% is pretty easily explained,

you have 99% of the 16% black population
plus the 10% Marxist demographic.

Strength of TEA party supported winners yesterday appears to be confirming. Another big move down (2 pts) on a Wednesday and 9 points from all weekday polling. We could see another 2 points tomorrow as the economic indicators look iffy.

My post from yesterday’s poll thread:

Strongly Approve will hover above 20%, Strongly Disapprove will begin to balloon as sincere campaigning gets underway. A four-point downturn on a Tuesday and seven points down in post-weekend polling. (I would guess that hasn’t happened before).

This may be an indication of the “likely voters” getting wind of the success of conservatives or “Tea Party” approved strengths along with the “retirements” of old-guard Dhimmicrats.

Someone needs to sends a memo the hordes of liberal morons who voted for the Dim son of Murtha Critz. Supposedly, these extremely mentally defective voters do not understand that a vote for a Dim is a vote for zero’s agenda. These people are still oblivious to the fact all Dims will toe the party line when a vote is absolutely needed, so it doesn’t matter that Critz says he is against cap and trade, the initial vote for 0bmamacare.
The utter lack of intelligence and critical thinking exhibited by the majority of PA-12 voters is absolutely astounding. This same lack of intelligence is why dictators come to power. Better do better next time PA-12 or a pox on your district. No wonder PA is losing population.

Just like how it takes someone looking to scam someone else to fall for a Ponzy Scheme, nobama’s black support operates on same principle. Just like how blacks have for all these years fell for the dems and race-baiter’s BS line, they will hang with nobama til the end thinking he’s got some special, secret and unbeatable magic trick set for whitey. Write em off, they like the life the dems have made for them.

Murtha won by 62%, Critz won with 53%. Looks like some have figured it out, in the next few months more will follow. Remember PA-12 is 2/3 dem. We have our work cut out for us.

Americans were a little giddy when their tax returns hit the mailbox and some stories of hiring hit the press. And when their stock portfolios were rebounding.

But reality has set in; that short spending spree is history. The stock market is tanking again today. My liberal BIL who was beginning to spend like a banshee - and rub it in - is white as a ghost.

People are getting it that the rebound has stalled, and that things could go wacky in a hurry. Obama is getting the blame now, not for the original recession, but for what’s going on now. Bush is out of the picture completely.

I truly believe that the rebound was artificial via stimulus, bail outs, TARP and an endless amount of other programs . It was only a matter of time....

Three-day moving averages, such as Rasmussen uses in his daily tracking numbers, can sometimes give very misleading results. And for that reason, I think this morning’s number is close to meaningless.

It looks to me as if the Big Ø was hit by a severely out-of-range Rasmussen poll on Monday night, which made yesterday morning’s “Index” come in very low (-17), with today’s report even lower (-19). Nothing magic or significant here, probably just random statistical noise.

Moreover, the effects of that Monday night poll will still be embedded in tomorrow morning’s number. So look for the Index tomorrow to remain in the vicinity of ca. -17 to -19. Note that such a result can hold EVEN IF last night’s and tonight’s “raw numbers” for the Index are back around the current ten-day average of ca. -12.

In other words, don’t get excited about today’s -19 or the similar number we’re likely to see tomorrow. Pay attention to Friday morning. At that point the Index will probably be trying to move back up toward -12.

But if I’m wrong and it stays down around -19, then shout Halleluia — for a new downward shift will probably have been confirmed!

We'll see. I join you in hoping you're wrong. :)

Something that's not helping Zero's cause that hasn't been mentioned here is the latest news on the Arizona bill.

I think it's possible that there are enough folks who can read who have heard three senior Obamanoids each admit to not even having read it to account for at least part of the movement to today's and yesterday's numbers.
