March 17-20 polling numbers in Gallup’s Presidential Job Approval Rating already up net 7%.? Approval up 3%, Disapproval down 4%.? 50/43.? Net 7%.? Look for it to improve further as health care reform gets done and the benefits start to reach actual consumers.? A major campaign promise was just realized within the first half of the first term of this President.? Book it.
Not one single solitary Republican will be on the right side of this.
Pity.
Full Story... →USA Today has a neat interactive graph that let’s you compare Presidential approval ratings. I found this comparison of Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan pretty interesting:
Another worth plugging in to the comparison meter is Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
All your graph are belong to us. Boo Hoo. Ouch.

Full Story... →Obama widens to his largest Gallup lead even after the Palin/McCain slime machine goes into high gear. “That one” goes to 11:
Full Story... →We’ve officially hit rock bottom. When asked this question:
In general, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in The United States at this time?
Only 9% said satisfied.
That’s the lowest number EVER on record at Gallup. What is the most important problem they are dissatisfied with?
Net economic problems – 69%
Iraq War – 11%
Government/Politicians – 9%
Healthcare – 5%
Ethics/Moral decline – 4%
Education – 3%
Illegal aliens – 3%
Those numbers are stunning when you think about it. If John McCain wanted to [...]

Obama Bomaye!
Full Story... →Obama Bomaye!
Full Story... →Damn, I’m good. Obama’s Gallup lead is now statistically significant and I expect the 4 points to hold and possibly even widen in the next week as the economy continues to dominate and Obama and Biden continue to go on the offensive. He could be all the way back to his 8 point post-DNC bump level before long.
It’s The Stupid Economy, You Idiots!
Full Story... →Obama hits 50% for first time and back up by 8. I expect this Palin implosion may cause even more of a bump. Unless more wingnuts support babydaddyism than I thought.
Full Story... →Gallup shows Obama picking up more support from Hillary peeps:
PRINCETON, NJ — The Democratic convention appears to have helped solidify support for Barack Obama among former Hillary Clinton supporters, with the percent saying they will vote for Obama in November moving from 70% pre-convention to 81% after the convention, and the percent certain to vote for Obama jumping from 47% to 65%.
Full Story... →3 days straight now. From 6, to 7, to 9. I don’t put alot of stock in the numbers themselves, but the trend cannot be ignored. I’d also point out that McCain has never lead in this particular poll.
