-- CNN Poll: Obama -- Strong leadership 80% -- more...

[Undercurrent]

The breakdown of the CNN poll posted yesterday evening. Interesting that they would post it on a Friday evening. Not. Friday is traditionally the day to publish, or announce news you hope will be forgotten by Monday.

The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey

[ooglymoogly]

43. * at 22%....ha ha....yes thats what the pug skewed polls try to tell us. More like 13-17%

That is why this poll stands out. It is pug skewed and still he comes out on top of the heap.

[JDPriestly]

45. And Reagan -- highest was 73%

Reagan's approval rating while he served peaked at 73 percent in the spring of 1981, after he was shot and wounded in an assassination attempt, and hit 70 percent in 1986, after he ordered a bombing raid against Libya. It fell to a low of 42 percent in early 1983, following a surge in unemployment, and dropped to 44 percent in early 1987, during the Iran-Contra controversy.

The CNN headline, and first few paragraphs harp on our President's "low" ratings for choosing his Cabinet (61% is low? Egads! The media dogs are so transparent!). The nub of the poll numbers are buried further down in the article.

[zeemike]

6. And that is why freepers are so angry

They lost the idealogical war they were waging.

[Vinca]

7. So apparently Peggy Noonan's theory that Obama has been overexposing

himself is crap. Who would have guessed the American people actually like to hear their president speak.

[WCGreen]

23. Well, if you had Bush Bush and Reagan to deal with...

Wouldn't you want to limit and control their public persona?

[Cha]

26. And, Kathleen Parker's crap about

"longing for bush's grunts"..paraphrasing.

[Frisbee]

34. Listening to our former president speak...

was painful. So I for one avoided listening to him speak pretty much whenever possible.

[pleah]

8. K&R When you get that kind of result on a CNN poll,

that says it all.

[Milspec]

9. What a nice

[a kennedy]

11. I bet these numbers are just killing the repubs.......

will be waiting for the "louder" fix noise crap that's coming.......gawd I hate them. :mad:

[Spazito]

12. Geez, those are some impressive numbers!

The repubs are committing political suicide with their obstructionist agenda, they can no longer lie with impunity. They have lost the trust of the American people and these numbers show it.

[City Lights]

13. I bet these numbers infuriate the Republikans and the corporate media hoores.

:D

[Hope And Change]

14. K & R!

[ClayZ]

15. Yeah!

K and R

[Phx_Dem]

16. Over 60 percent for cabinet selections! LOL

Republicans are so screwed. The MSM should realize the public doesn't give a shit about a few blips in cabinet appointments,
that's insider DC stuff.

[firedupdem]

17. My President is kicking ass! Excellent Numbers! n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

18. The snipers from the left & the right just can't seem to get the traction they're hoping for...

:rofl:

GOBAMA!

[Peacetrain]

19. Loving that!!! NT

[MarjorieG]

20. A president really caring, SINCERELY feeling their pain. A lifeline appreciated.

[4lbs]

21. I think Dubya was above 60% on anything just once in his presidency, and he needed Al-Qaeda for it!

n/t

[Uzybone]

22. Dayum

[Cha]

[Solomon]

[Cha]

27. Obama's getting through in spite of

the controversial scenarios the cmwhores pound on, 24/7.

[tilsammans]

28. Wow!

The man has been in office less than a month! You rock, Barack! :yourock:

:applause:

[opihimoimoi]

29. Awesome way of kicking them Pubs in the nuts and looking good at the same time...

[TheKentuckian]

30. The process of reducing the Republiscum to

nothing but the wacko base is well under way and ahead of the schedule.

[Laelth]

31. After Bush, Daffy Duck would be a popular President too.

That said, my President is awesome, and I am very pleased.

:toast:

-Laelth

[underpants]

32. There must be screaming in the CNN/ABC/NBC headquarters

FIND SOMETHING SOMEWAY TO PUT THIS GUY DOWN!!!

WE HAVE TO GET THE WIND OUT HIS SAILS!!

THIS SOB IS DAMNED NEAR A POPULIST!!!!

[Politicalboi]

40. Play the tape of

President Obama hitting his head on Marine One! :rofl: How can he run a country when he can't even judge a door. LOL!

[PJPhreak]

33. I'm Not suprised....

The Difference Between Obama (76%) and Bush(22%) is that when Obama opens his mouth "Intelligence" Comes forth....When Bush opened his maw it was "Unintelligible Spew"

[CitizenPatriot]

35. is that crickets I'm hearing?

MSM???

The People's President:-)

[nradisic]

36. Woo hoo! Go Barack!

Obama is the ultimate chess player. The Republicans are to freaking dumb to know what the next move is, forget about trying to think like Obama, about five moves ahead.

The American people know the jig is up for the GOP. The MSM and pundits have yet to figure it out. As for the Republicans, they will only "get it" once they loose a few more Senate and House seats in 2010.

Sit back, relax and watch. The adults are back in charge...

[quidam56]

37. Doubt this will be gone by Monday, people are fed up !

Hannity's America sure ain't My America http://www.wisecountyissues.com

38. Its just not good enough.......

[jenmito]

39. Do you have the link to this? I want to send it to people.

TIA. :)

[Undercurrent]

46. Yes.

Forgot to post the link in the OP, and added it in post #5.

The link is:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/02/13/poll-trouble-signs-for-obama-picks-over-cabinet/

And like I said in post #5, CNN distorted the poll with this headline: Poll: Trouble signs for Obama over Cabinet picks?

Plus they buried the lead by carrying on about Obama's "low" (61% duh!) ratings for how he has handled his cabinet picks. Finally they posted the poll results stuck in the middle of a wordy paragraph.

[GrantDem]

41. Nice...

K&R

[ooglymoogly]

42. And this on pug tool CNN; The folks at CNN must be crapping

Their pants.
