Obama tanking in latest AP/GfK poll linked to on MSNBC website

[jenmito]

He's UP 2 points to 56% approval from 54% last month.
Right direction of country UP 8 points to 46% from 38% last month.
Situation in Afghanistan UP 10% to 52% from 42% last month.

(which I had to find from clicking on 2 or 3 links on this site): http://www.msnbc.msn.com/

Of course, you'd never KNOW that his numbers actually improved from the original title where I found the link, as it was titled: "Poll: Public skeptical of war escalation" :eyes:

1. Thanks for posting this because of course we won't see it

on the tv.

[jenmito]

8. No problem. Yeah, MSNBC linked to it with NO mention of his IMPROVING numbers.

All I heard on MSNBC is the "terrible news for Obama." :eyes:

[Cant trust em]

2. That's because he has no base left.

The left is pissed off at him. The right is pissed off at him.

Call me in 3 years.

Then I'll be more interesting in polling.

[Thrill]

4. The OP was joking. He's not tanking. His numbers are going up

Not sure why. But they are.

[Cant trust em]

5. Sorry. Me no read for detail.

Gallup has him down to 49%.

[jenmito]

7. Gallup has him UP to 49% today from 48% yesterday. n/t

21. The spike is coming from the right

Obama's right-wing policies on war and healthcare are giving him a boost in the polls from moderate republicans and even some neocons (such as Karl Rove) who are coming out of the woodwork to heap praise on Obama after his recent, big pro-war speech.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

31. How many Repubs

have signed onto his "massive giveaway to the insurance industry"? Cheney no longer calling him a traitor and praising him? Like hell the Repubs are becoming his best friends.
:eyes:

[rollingrock]

33. I didn't say all of them were

but many of them have been openly praising him as of late. that includes John McCain, Karl Rove, Pat Buchanan, heck even Sarah Palin has been openly praising his Afghanistan policy.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

34. Well, I happen to agree with President Obama on Afghanistan personally

as do many other Democrats. I don't mind that some people don't agree with President Obama on Afghanistan because I understand where they are coming from but just because some Republicans are praising President Obama for something doesn't mean that they're all best buddies now or that Obama should suddenly renounce his views on something just because Sarah Palin, et. al might support him on something. Even though they might support him on Afghanistan, there is no way in hell they're going to stop calling him a "socialist" or smearing him on other things.

6. Did you read my post before replying??? n/t

[Cant trust em]

9. See post #4.

[jenmito]

10. You mean post #5?

[Cant trust em]

28. I suppose so.

See what happens to my brain at the end of the day?

3. The poll will be more revealing if they pass the current Senate version of the HCR bill /nt

[WyldRogue]

15. And when the ....

... hidden clauses and loopholes are truly made available. From what info has been given, this 'HCR Bill' is full of ambiguity which BENEFITS the HICs, leaving us to pick up an even bigger tab while forcing people to deal with said HICs. Sure, Health Care is going to be managed by private insurance lackeys while being over-looked...err.. I mean 'watched over'....like they 'watched over' WS and the rest of the pilfering ilk.

I just hope they wake up and soon...

11. His numbers will bound back once the bills out the door and I think it will get out the door.

[mcablue]

12. up 2% in one month,hurray

Big jump.

[jenmito]

16. It's a lot different from "tanking."

:eyes:

[Popular Front]

13. Bullshit

BigCorp is trying to sink him. I, for one, stand behind the President 101%. :patriot:

[jenmito]

14. Did you read my OP?

[Popular Front]

17. Misleading headline. My bad n/t

[jenmito]

19. It's sarcasm. n/t

[Cha]

22. You have to know jenmito to

get the sarcasm.

[Cha]

18. I like your kind of

tanking, jenmito!

:hi:

[jenmito]

20. Thanks, Cha...

I'm glad you actually read the message of my OP before commenting. :hi:

[MadBadger]

23. Its cuz he's sellin out his base man!

Kicking us all in the gonads while he suckles on Lieberman's testes

[Cha]

24. So what do you think of this poll

that's being touted .. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x65329

Thanks for finding the hidden poll!

[jenmito]

25. Ha! Of course that's the "chosen" poll by certain posters. MSNBC posted a link to the AP poll

just so they could tout the negative headline about Obama's low approval for the surge. They just "chose" to totally ignore the improved poll numbers including his presidential approval rating. Good thing I did a little digging. ;)

[Cha]

26. So I could post this

poll on that thread and it would be different polls with different results? :)

[jenmito]

27. Well...

yes, I suppose you could! :D

[mcablue]

29. The Afghanistan poll questions are ambiguous

It says 56% oppose the war in Afghanistan, but another question said the "situation" in Afghanistan is approved by 52%. What's up with that?

[babylonsister]

30. I just read and posted on how his popularity is holding steady: you'd never know it

from listening to morning ho. :eyes:

[jenmito]

32. Thank you. I know-it's sickening...

especially how the same media that does its best to bring Obama down claims it's "liberal." :eyes:
