President's approval slips to 42% after midterms as they say IT'S THE BASE STUPID!!

[bigdarryl]

he's loosing support among DEMOCRATS his base down from 87% to 81%. I wonder why lets see he's extending Bush tax cuts he's reneging on Afghanistan withdraw he forms this Commission on Social Security that recommends cuts and these are for starters http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.cfm?ID=1918

2. Zombie Is Not A Credible Pollster

Cite another poll and we can discuss the results.

3. Zoby is just as creditable as Rasmussen that every body post on a daily base

just because you don't like the results of his polling doesn't mean he's wrong.Lets face it Obama is loosing his base thats a FACT

8. Obama Has A Middling Approval Number At This Moment

But I'm not taking "pollster", John Zombie's word for it.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. I estimate it's around 45% or so. But I wouldn't trust a Zogby Interactive poll if it said it was

90%

6. John Zombie Is The Joe Isuzu Or P.T. Barnum Of Polling

9. I think Zogby's polls are OK, it's his interactive polls that are terrible.

This is an interactive poll.

16. Polls go up and down.

No use stressing over them. On RCP he's at 45.4, as of the 9th. Gallup has him at 44 & Rasmussen at 45. Not great percentages, but not horrible either.

A Quinnipiac poll just released in NJ has him in my state at 46% with 50% disapproval. Although they point out that he would be "tanking" if it weren't for AA support. I guess that it's a good thing that Menendez was not up for reelection this year. On the other hand, 61% of NJ voters think that Christie shouldn't run for president.
