Done.

Thx.

Anyway, Rasmussen is 52-47 approve today.

Rasmussen was 50-49 approve on Tuesday, when the Exit Poll showed 54-45 approve.

So, factoring in the "4%-Rasmussen-effect", it's basically 56-43 approve today.

Do re-elected Presidents get a honeymoon in approval ratings?

[Tender Branson]

Bush went from 49.5 approve on RCP 1 day before the election to about 53% approve a few weeks after that.

But I guess Obama will get a similar 5% or so bounce which will last a few weeks and when the budget talks start it will drop back again.

Usually a small one after the election and another one in January.

Bush had a 53-46 approval when he was reelected, so it is indeed not out of the ordinary.

Interesting to see how Obama's strong disapproval has collapsed in the Rasmussen poll (even despite its now obvious Republican-lean).

Typo, it was 39%.  I'll fix it.

No, among the 54% who approve, Obama won 89-9.

Among the 45% who disapprove, Romney won 94-3.

I'm not gonna pay much attention to Gallup and Rasmussen after their horrible election showings.
