Why is it not possible that the partisan makeup as it existed in November 2008, no longer exists in September 2009? <br /><br />You speak of alternate universes where Obama's approval numbers are rationally two different sets of numbers. It's similar to saying, "Bush's approval rating in January 2007 are really bad given the electorate that month, but actually quite good given the electorate from January 2005." I feel like you could make an equivalent argument for nearly every recent President's approval rating. Sounds a lot like spin to me - but hey, we're all guilty of it, aren't we?Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970922336078671535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-8676725167296685402009-09-02T13:29:43.064-05:002009-09-02T13:29:43.064-05:00Also Tom,

You show Obama at 47/49 with a D/R/I split of 38/31/31. That's as favorable a D/R/I split for Obama as it was on November 4th, if not more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
