Obama must have some of the most static approval ratings of any President. I mean, they haven't changed that much since about the end of 2009.

I was wondering about this.

Is it just an after effect of such a deeply polarised electorate?

On Gallup, he has recovered a bit, about 3 points from December.  It is a noticeable, but not a dramatic, improvement.

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 47%, +3.

Disapprove 52%, -2.

"Strongly Approve" is at 26%, -1.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at  42%, -2.

Probably a bad sample.

Which are you saying is a bad sample, this one or the one from a couple days ago that showed Obama at -10?

Obviously, since I said yesterday:

Again, it could be a bad sample.



I have been saying that there might be a bad sample moving through the system.  It dropped out.

Obama's weekly number is now at 48%, which has been the highest since June of 2011.  If it holds, he will be out of the danger zone.

The longer he babbles about birth control the more women will turn against him on other issues such as the economy. As that goes on it will lead to actual votes in the fall. Obama just doesn't have it with the ladies anymore.

47% in Rasmussen and looks like we won't have to worry about Bill Nelson after this year if things continue.

That poll is from April 2011.

Please describe for me in depth detail how you get that I'm a troll? Is it because I dared to say that Obama may struggle for votes that have traditionally been female? Is it because I don't stand by as a cheerleader for Obama? Is it because I don't walk in line with the liberal media?

Is it because you link to a poll from eleven months ago, without explaining why it, and not the eleven subsequent months of polling data, is the most meaningful indicator of how an election will unfold eight months from now?

I wouldn't try to pass a poll as current on here 11 days after it was released, let alone 11 months. Either you're a troll or you just don't get how polling works.
