It only shows Democratic approval to me ...

RAS changed the link. He accidentally posted the general election numbers there last night. I think they'll be out in the morning.

I don't understand how his approval can be so low in the states yet still at around 48/48 (according to pollster) nationally? If it's at 44/52 in Ohio it seems like it should be near 44/52 nationally.

Why? Ohio was about 3.6 points more Republican in 2008 than the national average, so that number makes perfect sense.

When will your next map be up?

I've been real busy lately. Hopefully sometime this weekend I'll have it updated.

Yeah, Obama probably has a 60% approval rating there.

Tender Branson, that goes for you too. Don't post links that make the page horrendously wide.

It doesn't show up wide if you use FireFox.

[Rowan]

Pbrower, I know facts are not your strong suit, but Obama got 36% in Idaho in 2008. So your comment that he would be lucky to get 30% is just absurd, not like that's any different than most of the stuff you post anyway.

[Rowan]

We're getting Wyoming numbers later from Rasmussen. I think that's the first poll there.

[Rowan]

The California poll was conducted by Greenberg, Quinlan,  Rosner. If you are excluding the Magellan one because it is a Republican firm, should you not include the GQR one because it is a Democratic firm?
