Barack Obama's job approval rating has increased in recent days and now stands at 50% in Gallup Daily tracking for April 21-23.

....................................................

Obama's increased approval coincides with his taking a lead, 49% to 42%, over Mitt Romney in Gallup Daily tracking of registered voters' 2012 presidential election preferences. That marks a shift from last week, when Romney held an edge in Gallup tracking.

You and I both know that was a ruse.

The fix is in.

Since Mittens and 0bama0 are Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum, the incumbent one is most likely to win.

Gallup is measuring REGISTERED Voters. Rasmussen has Romney up 49% to Obama 43% with LIKELY Voters. I have a lot more faith in Rasmussen.

Sometimes you just can’t explain STUPID! 50% of America wants stuff given to them that they want someone to pay for and when those someones aren’t around any longer they will kill each other and starve.

It doesn’t matter. We better get as many Tea Partiers as possible elected to Congress and in your own state legislatures as possible to serve as an antidote to any of the poison an Urkel or Romney presidency represents.

Absolutely. “Registered voters” is notoriously inaccurate in polling regarding any election. Look deeper in to the Gallup poll and you will also probably find more Democrats polled than Republicans. Do that and of course you come out with those results. Duh.

Polls—Believe them not. Lets just see what they say in a Month. They are tools of the MSM and they will say and do anything short of murder to re-elect Obama.

Just how dumb have Americans become? How can half of them approve of the cesspool this country has slid FURTHER into under this Kenyan president?

I know he would get all the black vote but that is only what 12-13% of the population?

If you ever wanted proof that the communists have succeeded in dumbing down America via the public school system all you have to do is look at how many people support this Marxist president.

I was lucky growing up in a Republican getto (actually quite nice mid to upscale town) and in the 60’s the public school was not that bad although I did have 2 teachers tell their students to tell their parents to vote for Kennedy.

Now, if I had a kid of school age they would either be home schooled or sent to private school.

“Romney has no shot.”

He never did. He’s “bait” for the squishy middling “centrists” in order to help the repubs to hold the House.

I also trust Rasmussen more. He also says that "Currently, 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17"

Obama's numbers had been improving a little starting around December but they began deteriating a bit in the last month.

Because America has exchanged its "Rugged Individualist" mindset for "Needy Collectivist"

Celebrity culture. We live in a celebrity obsessed culture and like it or not, people still WANT to like Obama and think he is cool. Tie that to the fact that more people than ever are dependent on government and don't want that dependency to end. We are almost Europe now. Another 4 years of Hussein and we will be a full western socialized democracy complete with permanent high unemployment, permanent high debt, a permanent underclass dependent on government, etc.

How can they do a ‘job approval’ rating. Only one of the choices has the job?

Another meaningless poll!
