[Tender Branson]

Obama is just about finished, guys. He's only at 76%.

On Rasmussen, he's back up to 60-38 and up to 66-21 in Gallup's daily tracking.

[Lief]

Huh. Obama might yet win Utah in 2012 after all.

(provided he wins in a Reagan- or LBJ-esque fashion, before the Republicans jump down my throat)

[Keystone Phil]

(provided he wins in a Reagan- or LBJ-esque fashion, before the Republicans jump down my throat)

Give us Kansas, Lief. Come on.

[Tender Branson]

Yeah, Obama might win in a landslide in 2012 after all.  Hopefully the economy won't tank and Obama will show some signs of competence.  Oh wait.

That goes too far --  way too far. I heard much the same about dissent with George W. Bush many times, and on some other Forums after I criticized the Great and Infallible Leader I occasionally saw suggestions that I find another country -- typically Iran, Cuba, or North Korea. 

Dissent with the President is not treachery. Insistence that dissent with the President is disloyalty to the Nation is in fact a repudiation of the principles upon which our Constitutional republic was founded.

Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States defines treason and limits it so that treason applies only to the most blatant acts of disloyalty to the United States, such as waging war against the United States, collaborating with wartime enemies, or conspiring to overthrow the government of the United States on behalf of a foreign power.

The third number is the percentage. I also updated Massachusetts (although really Rasmussen should be kept separate from everyone else because they claim to poll approval differently). But, if we're using everything, Civitas is in there, too.
