You would think Limbaugh was the most popular Republican for minorities, heh heh, though they probably agree with Limbaugh on the social issues.<BR/><BR/>Your state-by-state stuff is pretty solid as evidenced by your record but I remain skeptical of things such as Limbaugh showing 46/43 of your national polling ability. Are Palin, Romney, Sanford next in line for national polling?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-7555897437098160592009-02-24T12:26:00.000-05:002009-02-24T12:26:00.000-05:00Rasmussen actually had Obama at 60% in Texas but t...Rasmussen actually had Obama at 60% in Texas but that was quite some time ago when Obama was 69/28 in Janaury. Since then, Obama has fallen a lot in Rasmussen, so I would gather his Texas numbers have fallen dramatically as well because Obama is holding up fairly well in certain states.<BR/><BR/>I trust Rasmussen for national presdiential polling given his record the last two election cycles but he's spotty on state-by-state polling. How else do you explain Obama being at 60/39 nationally but at 58% in Georgia? Wouldn't you expect Georgia's approval to be significantly lower than his national approva numbers?<BR/><BR/>Can you give a clue as to his net negative? Is it fairly significant? If he's starting off this badly in Texas during his honeymoon period, he may not have a chance in 2012 unless the economy actually recovers or the immigration wave starts again. That's good news for me as a conservative considering that Texas is supposed to get a boatload of electoral college votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
