Doesn’t that add up to 101%?

Anyway, a little lower on Gallup

You see that a lot in polls. It is caused by rounding.

Gallup is now at 46%, but Obama was at 50% only a couple of days ago. Rasmussen has him between 49% & 50% … so 50% is a pretty good average for him right now.

Not great for reelection but OK for a year out from reelection.

For history buffs, he is tracking very similar to Clinton overall, and with Independents and actually a bit better than Clinton did with Democrats, a little worse with Republicans.
 
Gallup is consistently pro Democrat in it’s polling methods and with typical +/- 3% spreads it is likely to read higher in it’s ratings of Obama than other polls which are not as skewed.

Funny that they didn’t clean up the numbers to avoid a >100% result!
 
I think a lot depends on how the question(s) are asked. I know I have been polled several times, not necessarily on political things, and they often do not provide for an answer I might prefer to give. Everything is absolutely black and white.

If Gallup is pro democrat why does it have Obama with a 46% approval rating?
 
I think that those who approve of BO are those who can’t admit that they were dead wrong about him. :rolleyes: Rob
 
The one poll that counts happens in November next year, and I feel the American population is essentially uninformed and they care more about personalities, than realities. So, Obama will get four more years.
 
there is no way 56% of the population still approves of Obama. I’m pretty sure his approval rating would be even lower, if one would only poll people who are actually registered voters.

If you are right, Patrick, our nation is dead. I guess if you call our deep recession a "recovery" enough times, people will believe it. I never thought that America would face such a great tragedy *from within*. Rob :bigyikes:

Wow, 54% on CNN. That’s kinda low. I figured it be more into the low 70s.

I am not sure if I would trust CNN’s results as they are a pretty liberal station. I think maybe in all actuality not even half of the country approves of BO, of course I could be wrong. Gotta wait until we see more poll results.
 
I do not trust CNN polls, they said in a poll a few days ago Rudy Guiliani was the Republican favourite.
