NBC's Guthrie Promotes Obama's (Vanishing) Gallup Approval Rate Rise

In mid-December, we noticed ABC, CBS, and NBC had no interest in citing Gallup polls that made the Democrats look like they were on the wrong side of the public. But on Tuesday morning’s Today, NBC substitute co-host Savannah Guthrie gushed to Chris Matthews in the first half-hour of the show that the latest Gallup numbers show Obama ticking up a bit.

“For the first time I think since July, the latest Gallup tracking poll has his approval higher than his disapproval. He's no longer upside-down on that number,” Guthrie reported. “Is this a reflection of things getting better in the economy, or people not liking the Republicans and coming back to President Obama?” But did they? By 1 pm Tuesday, the latest tracking poll had Obama underwater again: 46 percent approve to 48 percent disapprove.

On screen, viewers saw that Obama’s approval-disapproval rating was 44 percent approve/48 percent disapprove on December 20-22 and then 47/45 on December 21-23. In other words, the polls shared two days of numbers in their rolling average.

That's an example of the Obama media getting their hopes up out there, in a desperate bid for self-validation that Obama gets re-elected. But it is all lies. The left is trying to paint Republicans as unpopular when it is not 100% correct. They want to marginalize the tea party. They are very high on the Socialism Kool-Aid.

The reported approval rating for “The Divine One” will continue to rise as we approach the election this November. By October of 2011 there will be confirmed reports of :the raising of a dead child, the cure of a leper, disciples will witness his walking on water, 5000 will be fed and he will give us words of wisdom delivered from a mountain.

It’s actually worse for Obama today. The Rasmussen Reports daily approval/disapproval poll has Obama dropping six points from -12 to -18!!! January will bring forth worse numbers.

InStore retailers had a lousy (flat) holiday selling season. After January 1st, hundreds of thousands of part time retail workers will be let go. Sears and K-Mart are closing hundreds of stores and laying off thousands of full time workers. Obama is asking for another debt ceiling increase, piling more debt on USA taxpayers and their children to come!!! That’s the good news!!!

The really bad and dangerous news is the Obama enabled loss of the Middle East and Northern Africa to Muslim terrorist governments. Iraq will fall to Iran. The Taliban will take over in Afghanistan, Pakistan is in the hands of America haters already. Egypt is now ruled by Obama’s beloved brethren, the Muslim Bortherhood!!! Libya also ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood abetted by Obama!!! Be very afraid, Mr. & Mrs America. The enemy, is banging at the gates of America!!!

Numbers almost always rise for libs and Dems over holidays. Who is at home, and who is not at home on a holiday?
