I cana’t believe that 40 % of the american people are mindless useful idiots!

That's because 40% of the American people are mindless useless idiots.

The Obamamedia would never allow a report like that...it would mean they were wrong. Not gonna happen.

"That's about 38 percentage points too high."

About 25% to 33% of the electorate are hard core liberals. Film could exist of Obama kicking a puppy on the White House lawn and his support would not drop below those numbers.

It’s 41%, up 1% today.

Because the market went up yesterday.

It’s a poll of “adults”, have of whom can’t wipe their ass without government “assitance”.

Polls of voters are more relevant.

He is clearly intelligent.

This has never been demonstrated. It has not been even alluded to by transcripts, essays, professorial work, etc... since all of this information is under some sort of top secret gag order.

By contrast, Bush's lowest Gallop poll, IIRC, was 27%. Looking at the current Tea Party numbers, despite the facts of our current fiscal crisis, there's simply no denying the effect the media has on polling numbers. There's an astonishing number of Americans who derive everything they know about politics from misleading partisan headlines, comedians, and coffee talk. We have not yet even begun to pierce the MSM’s veil of ignorance, and unfortunately, given our lack of strategic thinking and reluctance to go on offense in the kind of systematic fashion that our opponents do, there is no discernable chance of changing it.

"40% of Americans cannot name the Vice President of the United States."

Well, I can name him - it's just real hard to say it out loud: Vice President Joe Bi.... - I just can't.

“He is clearly intelligent”.


Those are the lib columnist’s words, not mine.

My words would be “He is clearly deceptive, a muslim and a socialist who is destroying our country”.

[ The same 40% think Obama is the greatest human to have ever lived. ]

50% or so of people in America DO believe the 3rd human on this planet DID NOT come from two other humans.. BUT from some monkey like creature..

[There is a 10 point spread between approve and disapprove among adults. It will be worse among likely voters. ]

That’s what weird. Rasmussen, who polls likely voters, has Obama with higher approval.

I’ll predict that by Thanksgiving of this year his popularity will be about 24% to 26%.

His records are bad that's why they are hidden. Unfortunately, they are being “fixed” for release, same as the BC. We will see a straight A student, mark my words.

The ones who approve of him are the ones who are receiving food stamps and other free government goodies

It could be because Rasmussen is a rolling average. The full impact of the credit downgrade and Monday Morning Stock Massacre aren't in yet. Interestingly the Rasmussen polls also show that the GOP is getting fired up again. the Strongly Disapprove is going up for the first time since the elections. While strongly approve is on a very slow downward trend.

And if you ask people about their specific reps and senators, most will say they approve of them. It’s all the other ones who are no good.
