Obama’s approval rating plummets
By Amie Parnes - 12/29/11 05:34 PM ET
President Obama enjoyed a surge in popularity this week — but the bounce proved to be remarkably short-lived.
A Gallup tracking poll released Thursday showed that Obama is once again underwater, plummeting to 41 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval, a sharp drop from earlier in the week.
A survey released Monday showed the president had a sudden uptick in the opinion poll, with 47 percent of respondents approving of the way he was handling his job and 45 percent disapproving. It was the first time since July that more people viewed him favorably than unfavorably.
The bounce in popularity came on the heels of the payroll-tax cut debate, when Senate Democrats and Obama stood firm to force House Republicans into accepting a two-month deal.
After emerging as the winner in that debate, the president headed to Hawaii on Friday for a Christmas vacation with his family.
Obama, who has spent much of his down time on the golf course and out with his family, has not appeared at a public event since leaving Washington.
“but the bounce proved to be remarkably short-lived.
But never faulty polling or faulty interpretation.”
My theory is that polling firms occasionally hit a “Pocket of Real Idiots,” and that skews the data temporarily.
“But most news outlets are prematurely reporting an economic recovery to tilt the election for their guy.”
This is what scares me. The media are using every small uptick in UE or GDP or whatever to tilt the field. They are shameless at this point, not even disguising their bias.
What I don’t understand is how the “reporters” and others in the MSM can’t see the damage Obama has done to all of us, their children their grandchildren. A thinking person should be furious with Obama and the leftist democrats on Congress - outright enraged. But, I think their ideology does not let them see it - it’s all about the social engineering.
I’m sure Moochelle’s $2,000 dress didn’t help.
