Intensity of support or opposition can have an impact on campaigns. Currently, 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -22 (see trends).

And lets remember those that disapprove are not all conservatives that have woken up. Many are extreme liberals that are not happy that Obama has not been “progressive enough”.
I pray that this is correct, but let's not count chickens yet. Remember the usurper has placed two of his followers on the court and there were already some leftist judicial activists there, so nothing is certain.
I don’t think the indies are that fickle. Consider Ras’s numbers for strong disapproval at 45%. These are not swayable by lamestreamers; these are not likely to change unless they get fundamentally transformed in some way. Of course, zer0 is trying...
This is great news, but I want to see how this plays out State-by-State. The Electoral College system, not the popular vote alone, decides who wins a Presidential election.
Obama’s Executive Privilege decision was a game-changer because now MSNBC/NBC/ABC/CNN/PBS/NYTimes have no choice but to cover Fast and Furious.
At first, their readers/listeners will buy Carney’s ridiculous assertion that Bush started it and Holder ended it but now that the very existence of F&F has been inserted into the liberal cocoon, eventually so will the relevant facts of the matter, facts that are very damaging to Holder, and, when fully revealed, possibly even to the President himself.
I think this is a good time to pin down our liberal-leaning friends and acquaintances by pointing out how insular their worldview must be when a topic as important as F&F (as will soon become very evident) can be obscured from view for over 18 months by their “trusted” news sources. They truly are in a liberal cocoon, protected from news that might disturb their worldview.
Just a week ago, as the contempt vote was being scheduled in committee, but before Obama’s privilege claim was asserted, I found yet another viewer of liberal news who didn’t even know what F&F was, much less what the issues involved were.
These people really do view themselves as well-informed, and frankly, above us in intellect and demeanor. But this “breaking” news of F&F now shakes both their worldview and their assessment of how well informed they are. We need to use F&F as a wedge between them and their liberal news outlets, and attempt to get them to realize just how cocooned they really have been the past 3 1/2 years. Opportunities like this are rare, and we need to make the most of it.
Once the facts are made clear, a good many people will actually change their minds on a matter, and the facts are clearly on our side here, but were, until now, unknown to many decent people on the Left.
. . and our children's children. . and theirs. . What is it now, something like 52 Trillion in unfunded liabilities long term? Destroying capitalism is Obama's goal.
LOL - I love the smell of Nixon, early in the morning (Executive Privilege) It smells like an Obama loss. -14 to -22 in one day is the largest change I have seen on Ras.... a change of -8 implies that yesterdays polling by itself musty have been on the order of -35...
