****BREAKING HARD**** Gallup has Obama up 3 to 50% approval

[jenmito]

and down 4 to 43% disapproval! http://www.gallup.com/Home.aspx ;)

[Katha]

1. I expect those numbers to keep rising

once he and the House gets this done!

:bounce:

[jenmito]

6. So do I...

this is historic and people will come to appreciate how good a president Obama actually is!

[vaberella]

18. Agreed. n/t

[sneezepaddle]

2. He's a winner!

I'm not rich and I know he loves me...seriously.

[tallahasseedem]

3. What a great day this is shaping up to be!!!

:D

[azmouse]

4. I'm proud of our President.

:patriot:

[Lorien]

5. "Breaking Hard"?

[jenmito]

11. Yup-in response to a thread a few days ago with the same phrase used to announce

Obama's falling numbers in Gallup.

[smalll]

39. Yes, sorry, that was me -- nice to see Obama back above water --

and I did admit in that thread in response to a comment that the streams would un-cross within a day or two. And so they have! It WAS a little shocking to see those streams cross for the first time though!

[tallahasseedem]

17. I think it's hilarious when "Breaking Hard" is used...

but I also have a sick sense of humor! ;)

[Cha]

29. Yes, it's BREAKING HARD.

[Stinky The Clown]

42. Breaking wind

[Drunken Irishman]

40. BREAKING BAD!

[denimgirly]

7. MSM will never report that.

you can bet on that.

[jenmito]

34. The only time they show Gallup's numbers is when Obama's approval is dropping. n/t

[Bicoastal]

8. Knew it. The process is ugly, but at the end of the day, the public tends to like accomplishment.

[Beetwasher]

9. Nothing Drives Approval Like Winning

And if you think Repubs dissaproval has been dismal, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. Their base is going to collapse now.

[tekisui]

10. Of course he will get a bump when the bill passes.

People like action and effectiveness. They don't really pay attention or care about the process, they only care about results.

It will likely be a temporary bump, hopefully it will last until the mid-terms.

[Aramchek]

12. why didn't timeforrepuke post this? I wonder...

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

13. So he's actually at 56% then.

[sunnystarr]

41. lol ... that was my first thought too!! (nt)

[Lifelong Protester]

14. When you are out with the people, and giving it your all

it is noted. Our leader must be out and talking directly to us. The last few days have shown that he is not just the cerebral chess master. And though a cool head is what I want in the WH, I also want to see evidence of the fire in the belly.

[demwing]

15. This will be the first benefit of "HCR" passage

though I have problems with the bill, it is a must win political moment for the Democratic Party, and thus for the future of the Country.

[quiet.american]

16. K&R nt

[DCBob]

19. Tomorrow probably up to 55..

:bounce:

[Downtown Hound]

20. Considering the state of the country today that's nothing short of amazing.

And no, I'm not blaming Obama for that, I'm just saying that Obama must be doing at least a few things well for his approval to be as high as it is given the way things are going.

[Clio the Leo]

21. This time tomorrow it will be 188% NT :-)

[MidwestTransplant]

22. This is Jim Dimented and the Teabaggers' Waterloo

[monmouth]

23. Wonder if Joey Scum will report this tomorrow. Bet he won't even

be there (Monday and all) and too sad to be glad...LOL.

[Phx_Dem]

30. Hell no. We'll be lucky if he reports that HCR passed, assuming it does.

Or maybe we'll just get to hear more of his incessant predictions of doom in November. :scared:

[RedSpartan]

24. Guess that hopey changey thing is actually working out pretty well... n/t

[aaaaaa5a]

25. But I don't understand....

FOX news and Karl Rove told me that the passage of this bill was going to destroy the Obama presidency?


Just a few days ago, Obama had sunk to 46%. I was told by Hannity that Democrats and Obama were doomed.


Are you guys telling me that I was lied too? LOL!

[kestrel91316]

26. I predict once HCR passes, his numbers will start a long upward trend.

People have been frustrated with HIM because the whole process has dragged out.

[Teaser]

27. meh,

the downward shift was a blip. the numbers just rolled off the average is all and sent us back to baseline.

[Cha]

28. It was predicted on DU..a few days

ago..and here it is!:fistbump: :)

[Phx_Dem]

31. This is what the GOP has been worried about;.

I hope Boner doesn't have a coronary on the House floor. And if he does, I hope it doesn't get in the way of our vote.

[Scurrilous]

32. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Mithreal]

33. Yay! This is the best way to gage his performance.

He was marketer of the year, don'tcha know.

35. Thanks for posting, jen

The better the popularity, the more incentive for him to push for a public option and other important fixes. I heard he may take up the public option again next year; let's hope that now that the big bill will likely pass, he'll be more forceful on the PO.

[jenmito]

37. My pleasure, mvd!

I agree with you. And I bet they WILL take up the public option!

[Change Happens]

36. I have been predicting 60% approval sometime after he signs the bill....nt

[Mithreal]

38. I am predicting 63% among the general population and unanimous support among PhRMA, Insurers

and other profit care.

[Jennicut]

43. So I guess 46% approval and 48% disapproval was a statistical blip, although the MSM made a huge dea...

out of it. It will only go up in the next few weeks in my opinion.

[jenmito]

44. David Shuster just mentioned today's Gallup poll!

And he mixed the #s up, saying Obama's approval went up 4 points and disapproval went down 3, which he got backwards. But it sounded even better! :D

[live love laugh]

45. Rut roh...the HATERS must now redouble their efforts to criticize his every breath. nt

[quaker bill]

46. expect another bounce upward

with the signing ceremony. The polls have been overread by republicans and the pundits. While most the people I know wanted something a bit larger passed, the larger problem they had was that the process had been too ugly for far too long. Some held the President to blame for the length and divisiveness of the process. Now that the process is done with a victory in hand, their support will return.

see what happens when you actually stand for something?
