The Republicans are way too regionalized or to put it another they better put their eggs in other geographical baskets.broderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296214283216386700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-79204754385596376002009-08-28T14:52:03.181-05:002009-08-28T14:52:03.181-05:00All I'll say is this: I didn't believe the...All I'll say is this: I didn't believe the polls when he was in the 70's-80's and I don't believe the polls that show him to be in the lower 50's. I believe his approval has been 55-65 from the day of the election to now.<br /><br />The best indicator of that comes from his approval among liberals, conservatives and moderates. There has been little change among liberals and moderates:<br /><br />From Gallup; 8/17-23 (1/19-25 in parenthesis)<br />Liberals 85 (83)<br />Moderates 62 (74)<br />Conservatives 28 (51)<br /><br />And the results from the 2008 election (via exit polls) were 89% among Liberals and 60% among moderates (20% among Conservatives).<br /><br />Based on the 2008 electorate, if the election were to be held today, President Obama would win with 56% of the vote -- a landslide.<br /><br />So I agree, his approval was never THAT high, but at the same time I also don't believe that his approval is as low as the numbers currently show.Russnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-68029548460292785242009-08-28T13:58:43.927-05:002009-08-28T13:58:43.927-05:00Um ok.

The media is telling us that the economy is improving but it doesn't matter. His numbers are dropping in every poll. When almost half the country, according to NBC News, believes your healthcare plan is likely to allow the government to pull the plug on grandma, there's not much you can do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
