Barack Obama earns favorably reviews from 43%, Fred Thompson from 42%, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani from 40%. Mitt Romney has the lowest total at 38%. Fifty-one percent (51%) have an unfavorable opinion of the former Massachusetts Governor. That unfavorable rating is matched by Obama and topped only by Giuliani at 55%. See other key stats for all Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates.

2. Rassmussen ANOTHER ReTHUGlican polling outfit

Boy the ReTHUGs must be worried about Obama and Edwards. They are just spinning all this nonsense.
By the way the OP HillShill left this out;

--------------------

"John Edwards is viewed favorably by 49%, unfavorably by 42% and Hillary Clinton is the only other candidate with favorable about 43%. She is viewed favorably by 48% and unfavorably by 50%"
--------------------------------------------------

There is such a big difference between 50% and 51 %.....NOT .....LMAO!

[KennedyGuy]

5. bad..unless he favors Obama

I lost count of all the rasmussen polls posted by Obama folks when they favor him..

[gaiilonfong]

8. Not by me I NEVER believe them

that had LIEberman winning the primary against Lamont 58% to 33% the day before lamont won!

[LeftCoast]

Rasmussen is only 'republican' when their numbers go against our favorites

BTW, if you'd bothered to read the article and polls you would have found much better things to critique the original post with.

[LeftCoast]

3. I think you're misreading that poll

The numbers I saw showed Obama at 52%/45% (fav/unfav).

:shrug:

[jefferson_dem]

11. did ya miss this part

Fifty-one percent (51%) have an unfavorable opinion of the former Massachusetts Governor. That unfavorable rating is matched by Obama and topped only by Giuliani at 55%.

9. it's an odd poll, b/c then they write...

Barack Obama earns favorably reviews from 43%, Fred Thompson from 42%, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani from 40%. Mitt Romney has the lowest total at 38%. Fifty-one percent (51%) have an unfavorable opinion of the former Massachusetts Governor. That unfavorable rating is matched by Obama and topped only by Giuliani at 55%.

which means B.O. unfave are 51%, no? which is odd to me.

14. No, Obama really is 43/51. This is a long-standing Rasmussen web-site issue

The linked chart/page you're referencing hasn't been updated in ages, but Rasmussen keeps linking to it. ( http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/favorables/election_2008_democratic_candidates_running_in_2008_presidential_election )Those numbers are months old.


In the current article he is imdeed saying that the current numbers are:
EDWARDS: 49/42
CLINTON: 48/50
OBAMA: 43/51

As 2007 comes to end and the Presidential campaign has already dragged on for a year, only one leading candidate in either party is now viewed favorably by more than half the nation’s voters. Stunningly, especially given the status of his campaign six months ago, that candidate is John McCain. He is now viewed favorably by 53% of all voters (a total boosted by the fact that 56% of those not affiliated with the major parties have a positive opinion of him. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of voters nationwide have an unfavorable opinion of him.

John Edwards is viewed favorably by 49%, unfavorably by 42% and Hillary Clinton is the only other candidate with favorable about (typo, he means above) 43%. She is viewed favorably by 48% and unfavorably by 50%.

Barack Obama earns favorably reviews from 43%, Fred Thompson from 42%, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani from 40%. Mitt Romney has the lowest total at 38%. Fifty-one percent (51%) have an unfavorable opinion of the former Massachusetts Governor. That unfavorable rating is matched by Obama and topped only by Giuliani at 55%. See other key stats for all Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates.

20. Ah! Thank you for clarifying that!

4. A good rule of thumb ::: If you are going to smear and lie about a candidate...

at least learn to spell his name.

[KennedyGuy]

7. you're never gonna survive if you think facts are smears

[IndianaJones]

10. I think that is a typo. The poll shows different numbers. nt.

[KennedyGuy]

12. His site..and the link, say it is todays tracking poll

[IndianaJones]

13. perhaps not updated for those numbers yet? nt.

[annie1]

15. how did obama's unfavorables jump so high?! higher than hils? ...

that's odd, her unfavorables are consistantly high, what did he do recently?

[IndianaJones]

18. I would question such a large jump....a misprint is my guess. nt.

[Sulawesi]

16. Dude, there is a link to contrary data within the very paragraph you cite...

Here is is

In it you will see Obama with the highest favorables, well above Edwards, with unfavorables 1% above Edwards. Clinton has lower favorables and higher unfavorables than both. As a Hillbot, are you going to scream?

Please refute these numbers or delete this...

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

17. The linked page has not been updated for several months.

[KennedyGuy]

21. What part of DAILY tracking are you Obama folk having trouble with?

Let me help you...
Daily..(noun)..means today...
or current if you will..
That makes it newer...
that the old link you folks are desperatly hanging on to..

19. In NH, we sometimes get two poll results in a day.

There's usually at least a 10 point difference in each. You can't go by the polls. Sometimes a NH poll will have Obama ahead by 5 points and CNN will come out with a national poll the same day with Hillary ahead by 20.

[JackintheGreen]

22. Wow...way to marginalize his supporters in your title

and how many of those have unfavorable opinions because 1) he's black (see Ford in TN in '06) or 2)they think he's muslim?

Hate to say it, but those things still count for WAY too many people in America.

[Alizaryn]

23. My choice is Obama ... guess that makes me

an Obama-bot? If so you can go ahead and assume that I screamed. I hope you feel better now :)

[msongs]

24. the first incarnation of Jesus didn't poll so well either nt

[BootinUp]

25. strange metaphor choice. nt
