4 Recent Polls Show Obama Going Strong

Maybe you should read it for yourself

both.

Possibly, but Bush had 9/11 behind him. Such an event is extremely unifying, especially when you make a color coded terror level chart and bump it up to the high levels whenever you feel that your numbers are slipping.

I bet you parse polling stats when you agree with them, too.

Most polls are too narrow for the results to be generalizable to the public at large. I admit I did not know that until I took a Stats course in grad school. Design flaw is the number one problem with polls. Just because you can run regression on a number, does not make it a valid number.

That's all the republicans they could find, representative of the national demographic. You are the minority in every way. The nation's moving forward. Catch the wave. The 50s are over.

The ego wave of destruction.

I'm sure you have a point, most probably directly on the top of your head.

Your ego before the fall....

there is enough Obama and liberal ego to make this all a huge mess. One that would rival the Oval Office's stains after Clinton had his cigar fun.

Is that your favorite visual?

I don't have a favorite. It's the most fitting.

You pleasure yourself with your own pride and then you make a mess. What better visual explains that?

hey, if the dress fits, wear it.

They grasp at whatever numbers fit their needs at the time.

Except for the ones you guys pull out of your ass.

You are welcome. :)

And we will

... eventually.

NO You wont.......EVER

Lifes a bitch aint it.

Just like anyone that disagrees with him is a racist.

Silly.

the typical stance taken by the empty headed conservatives, cry some more. We won, you lost, get used to it, because you have about 7 more years of liberal policies.
BTW I only called you a racist when you posted links to a Nazi website

Pride goeth before the fall.

'BTW I only called you a racist when you posted links to a Nazi website'

That must have been jammer's home page

Where's your proof?

Whenever asked for backing you're slow to reveal. Must be your old age. I hear your bones creaking. I shall call you Creaker.

Lacking in proof. Not the first time---I expect more times.

I'll mark your words on that.

Yes, because who you choose to be President is without fail "perfect".

Your way isn't the right way no matter what the polls say.

case rested

There was a recent study showing conservatives are unable to adjust their ideological beliefs even when presented with overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Welcome to that club jjammer.

cztheday -
You are wrong. Polls are God's way of telling us the Truth. I know this is true because I believe it is true. ;)

Liberals are no different that they could alter theirs...as you very well prove.

I mean that's fact especially when I stated several times I am not a conservative and yet you still state it. Change is hard. Ask Obama.

Okay, let me get this straight. You're not a conservative and liberals alter the truth, so therefore, you're a liberal, right?

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

Get new pants.

Get a new skirt

Hey! That's low. Don't you dare compare J to Tom Brady. J doesn't cheat.

Reagan was at 48% at this point during the first year of his first term.

(sound of crickets) Good one, neocongo

And?

Not a passing grade.

Coming from yourself, that's meaningful.
ie: it means nothing.

It doesn't matter what you hold meaning in.

Truth is the truth.

Now now, let's not gang up on one and other here. Everyone is entitled to an opinion - if you can back it up with something other than rhetoric and conjecture. The proof of Pres. Obama's success rating is tangible, is your opposing point of view?

Proof that no where in the world is 56% ok. The higher the better.

If this was Rotten Tomatoes he'd be a poor movie to view.

School grades don't really apply to Presidential approval polls.

No, because it's best to have low expectations.

His percentages are based on rhetoric.

According to our smart comedians...what has he done to deserve any appreciation other than promise, promise, promise?

Wait, your retort to cold hard facts is based on "comedians", wow you must be very limber cause that's quite the stretch. You could improve your standing by simply conceding the point in the face of the data and move on OR (much more likely) continue to ramble on with nothing but incoherent opinion, personal attack and or conjecture.

Manipulated date?

Ok.

You're making me out to look positively clairvoyant at times. Not that I can take credit for something so pedestrian.

You shouldn't be positivity enlightened when you're not stating anything differently either.

A poll at 56% might tickle your undercarriage but it's disappointing.

I expect better.

And as for what I said before his ratings before were based on his words...just like his nomination for that fake Nobel Prize award. It's not like people base much on what he actually does, because that would be reality instead of Obamality.

You're not so good with stats and weighted averages huh? If you take all the Presidents that have been assessed by approval ratings as a class where do suppose President Obama would be ranked within his class taking all data into consideration. There is an actual mathematical solution to this question so base your guess on the fact we can go back, do the math and know for sure.

You can do that.

And you can also keep your low standards of pleased performance as well.

I wait for better.

That's the whole point, if you could do math or open your mind a tad you'd see what you're waiting for is already here. It is entirely possible Mr Obama may be our best President to date, statistically speaking that's the case as we speak, though it's yet to be proven empirically.

It's sad people like someone that is all talk and now show.

Especially since he's no where near as popular (unanimously) as George Washington.

That's what I'm waiting for.

So you're waiting for George Washington - military, slave owning person that didn't actually want to be president. Excellent, that's classic and the perfect example of where you're coming from. That's too hilarious to be sad but justly pathetic. Thanks for the entertaining crescendo.

The President that is almost aways in every single historians top five Presidents, yes that one.

History will show that Obama had dealings with people the democrats shove under the carpet and ignore. Don't think history will ignore it.

You're little negative description of Washington to denounce his popularity (which you didn't denounce at all...for you have not factual bases to do so) will be one that Obama will have for himself. His pristine coat you're trying to keep won't stay that way. The comedians are already making snide remarks about his lack of doing and it's not even the first year yet.

I am looking for a President that gets more than 50%, more than 60% and more than 80% approval rating. Being pleased with less is sad.

Great cartoon.

Lol. That is awesome!

Bush spent our money dropping bombs in the middle of the desert, Obama spends money fixing roads in America. Big difference.

"With that money we could pay the unemployment caused, solve homelessness, and insure all uninsured for years. "

Exactly how would we have paid that money to solve all that especially considering before we spent it those problems were already existing? You're one of those people who are mad at the expenditure but have no real viable solution on what else to do or how to spend the money. You just offer some vague naive belief that somehow magically we could solve all our problems by spending the money somehow differently or better yet not at all.

700 billion which was approved by Bush, the lion's share.

Darink, Bush and Company gave the 700 million in tarp funds to banks and financial institutions. May I add with no strings attached. Your just another moron here on current who does not get their facts straight.

tommic

You meant 'billion', right?

Slarabee: Outta curiousity, how old are you?

The point you made about.........As for the banks well how soon you forget that the initial bailouts were started by Bush..............is about as convincing as a six year old saying......but mommy he did it first so that means I can too.
Why do some many defend obama with that same thought process. I see it here time and time again. Bush was a shithead for doing it and obama is a bigger shithead because he could see the results from the first shithead doing it.

This would be a poll of Americans.

darinK

Are you mentally ill? I can't name a single leader or country in the world that "wants to see the U.S. fail in whatever it does." Not one. Why would they want that?
The US economy just failed, special thanks to the unprecedented ineptitude of the supremely unqualified George W. Bush, and every country in Europe, as well as Canada, had to pay out tens of billions to stimulate their own respective economies and extend employment insurance benefits as a result.
Are you ignorant enough to actually believe your own delusional claims?

On the other hand, RWAs desperately want America to fail so that they can prove their point which is that they are willing to bite off their own nose in order to spite their face.

If you think Bush created this mess ur mentally ill. The greed over wanting bigger houses and nicer shit continued into a overinflated housing market that rose for like 9yrs straight at unprecedented levels. Add that to greedy banks who couldn't lose (they always knew they'd be bailed out) and you have yourself a recession sooner or later. But you go ahead and blame it on Bush to let everyone around you know how stupid you really are.

His popularity has always been high among those against ruthless capitalist dictators... oh, that would be Corporate America... and yes, we do hope they fail at what they have been trying to do!

I think its funny that everyone thinks the housing market is the sole cause of the recession. The financial sector collapsed AFTER everyone started having trouble paying their mortgages. People were paying them without a problem, but then gas prices shot through the roof and drove up the cost of food, heat, and well, pretty much everything. What did Bush do even though everything was costing more? He said "Go shopping!". Maybe people should have been paying attention to their bills? I think I also have to mention Bush's support of SUV culture (remember those SUV tax breaks?), which means all those people with the new homes also had two SUVS parked out front. Also, anyone with a head on their shoulders ought to find it awfully fishy that a man with such solid ties with Big Oil was president when oil prices skyrocketed.

Not entirely 23 . . . in Florida, for instance my property taxes and homeowners insurance caused my mortgage to go up just under $500 a month. Although the increases were based on over inflated property values at that point, here are many retirees on fixed incomes that could no longer afford their homes. Although I agree there were many factors that caused this, housing was a huge factor.

darin, let go of the hate, baby! it's made you crazy. Try using logic next time.

Cause of Paranoia

1) Homosexual fixation: According to Freud, the patient suffering from the disease has repressed his tendency to homosexual love to such an extent that he develops a fixation concerning it. Freud's view has been found correct in many cases, but it does not explain each and every case of the disease.

2) Feelings of inferiority: Here the psychologists have found that the main cause of paranoia is a sense of inferiority that may be caused by a variety of condition such as failure, disgust, sense of guilt.

3) Emotional complex: Certain psychologist points out emotional complexes, and also believe that they are seen to be present in other mental diseases as also in normal individuals.

4) Personality type: Cameron believes a certain type to be more susceptible to this disease, a personality that has sentimentally, jealousy, suspicion, ambition, selfishness and shyness etc. Patients of paranoia do exhibit these peculiarities of personality but on this basis they cannot be said to belong to definite personality.

5) Heredity: In the opinion of Fisher the main responsibility of paranoia lies fairly and squarely upon heredity, although he does not deny the importance of repression and emotional complexes. The causes of paranoia are not physical because no patient exhibits any signs of physical deformity and among the causes there are many important" ones, such as defects of personality, sense of inferiority, repression etc.

conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity"
