@ Rasmussen today:

50% Approve (+1)
50% Disapprove (-1)

When was Obama last at 50 or above on Rass? What's this bounce in aid of? The taliban leader who was found?

It could be. Note that the captive is the Taliban's top military leader. Such likely throws the Taliban into disarray and makes its defeat more likely.

Good news gets good polling results even if the President has little to do with the cause of the good news. Does he seem to be the sort to try to micro-manage the generals?  Of course we have yet to know the whole story.  
If we lose a single airliner, look for Obama's approval to drop 10 points overnight as he loses the women's vote.  If something worse happens, Obama will all but officially become a lame duck and will have a challenger to the 2012 Dem nomination.



I still don't get that arguement. You know what happened to Bush's approvals after 9/11, right?

BTW, PPP's monthly head-to-head's are due tomorrow.

Nobody in the public was really expecting a terrorist attack (though we should have been).  We are now and Biden's recent comments won't help, if there is one.

Rasmussen poll of Indiana:

44% Approve
54% Disapprove

Pretty good numbers for O there, as I don't believe there is anyone who thinks he can win that state again.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/indiana/election_2010_indiana_senate

No category change, but it is at the top of the category. A bit higher than Pennsylvania? Probably not for long.

He can, but I wouldn't bet even money on Indiana except in a 35+ state landslide. I predict that he will campaign for the Democratic candidate for the open Senate seat in November. Should there be an open Senate seat in Indiana in 2012 (Lugar will be 80) he will campaign again on behalf of the Democratic nominee for Senate.   

President Obama would lose to Mitch Daniels there, but 44% approval suggests about a 50-50 chance of winning against just about anyone else (and I don't mean Sarah Palin).  The Republicans can't afford to have Indiana as a "competitive" state -- which it looks like in 2012.   






Key:


<40% with Disapproval Higher: 40% Orange (50% if 60% or higher disapproval)
40-44% with Disapproval Higher: 50% Yellow  
45-49% with Disapproval Higher: 30% Yellow
<50% with Approval Equal: 10% Yellow (really white)

<50%  Approval greater: 30% Green
50-55%: 40% Green
56-60%: 60% Green
>60%: 80% Green


Months:

A -  January     G -  July
B -  February   H -  August
C -  March        I -  September
D -  April          J  -  October
E -  May           K -  November
F -   June         L -   December

S - suspect poll (examples for such a qualification: strange crosstabs, likely inversion of the report (for inversions, only for polls above 55% or below 45%...  let's say Vermont 35% approval or Oklahoma 65% approval), and more than 10% undecided. Anyone who suggests that a poll is suspect must explain why it is suspect.

Z- no recent poll (maximum 180 days) before December 1, 2009 except Montana (November 2009), which rarely gets polled.

If there was one Democrat that can challenge Obama effectively and win like a Russ Feingold, I would vote for him over Obama in the primary.  Obama hasn't governed the way a lot of has hoped.  But I am still willing to wait until the fall to see what happens.

Palin................................................................ 43%

My comment: Senator John Thune is not well known. Such has advantages -- and disadvantages.  Rounding may cause totals that fail to add to 100%.

Thune is only known by political junkies, so it is surprising Obama only pulled 46% and, IMO, may show the rest of the GOP is damaged goods

Oregon is at Rasmussen's national average?

I imagine, given the small number of undecideds, that when they pressured independents into to picking one, they chose disapprove. Also keep in mind that while parts of the state are very very liberal, there is also a large part of the state that is very conservative.

Iowa - R2000/KCCI Des Moines:

49% Approve
46% Disapprove

52% Favorable
41% Unfavorable

The Research 2000 Iowa Poll was conducted from February 15 through February 17, 2010. A total of 600 likely voters who vote regularly in state elections were interviewed statewide by telephone.

Those interviewed were selected by the random variation of the last four digits of telephone numbers. A cross-section of exchanges was utilized in order to ensure an accurate reflection of the state. Quotas were assigned to reflect the voter registration of distribution by county.

The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than plus or minus 4% percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the “true” figure would fall within that range if the entire population were sampled. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as for gender or party affiliation.

Vermont - R2000/WCAX-TV:

63% Approve
33% Disapprove

This survey was conducted by Research 2000 of Rockville, Maryland. A total of 400 likely voters were interviewed statewide by telephone between February 14 and February 16, 2010.

Those interviewed were selected by the random variation of the last four digits of telephone numbers. A cross-section of exchanges was utilized in order to ensure an accurate reflection of the state. Quotas were assigned to reflect the voter registration of distribution by county.

The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than plus or minus 5% percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if the entire population were sampled. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a gender or region.
