Rasmussen Prsidential Approval index @ 0!!!

By: ceili_dancer (Diary)  |  June 5th, 2009 at 10:23 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Obama’s Presidential Approval index has for the first time reached 0.  Where strongly approve and strongly disapprove are subtracted from the other.  His overall approval rating is at 54%.  I think every time he goes off shore and makes some really stupid comments or bows to other leaders the public has the international media to cover, so the synchophants here don’t have a chance to gloss it over.

    When Obama’s net approval ratings finally falls into the 40s, that’s when we’ll know there’s blood in the water.

    I have to admit that I am disappointed that it hasn’t happened by now (June).

    If Obama’s ratings don’t go into the 40s by August or September, that’s probably when I’ll be officially panicked.

      It was too depressing. I desperately want him to tank and all the leftists with him.

      At this point I don’t know what it’s going to take to stop the madness. As long as the MSM control the information getting out to regular folk, it seems an impossible task.

      I’d always had an inherent belief that good will triumph over evil, but if the whole facade continues…

        One of the entries was to predict Obama’s approval index as of the end of June. I picked 0. Perhaps I was aiming too high!

        I mean his ‘net’ (or ‘generic’) Approval Rating – the rating that you get when you add the “Strongly Approve” and the “Somewhat Approve” categories together.

        What you’re talking about is what I’d call the Approve/Disapprove spread or margin or differential.

        Anyway, when Obama’s generic Approval Rating is in the 40′s, that’s when I’ll know the bloom is finally off the rose…

          I misunderstood what you meant by “net,” (I read it as, for example, net profits where your expenses are subtracted from your gross).

        Ras is the only one using Likely Voters. Two ‘Registered Voters’ (didn’t look at the internals as to D vs R split so they could be even more skewed) Two of ‘em use ‘Adults’.

        “Adults”? Are you serious? Has the media *ever* used polls consisting of people who aren’t even registered to vote, much less likely to vote? Get real!!

        ‘Course, it *is* a good why to keep your ‘god’ high in the polls so you can mindlessly parrot how ‘popular’ the TOTUS is. Survey a bunch of people who care so much about their country that they can’t even be bothered to take the time to register to participate in the process.

    never uses Rasmussen these days. I keep hearing 61% approval ratings and everyday I see Rasmussen somewhere around 55% “somewhat” approve. I thought the +2 the other day was an anomaly but he seems to be trending down a bit. He has to get lower. Perhaps the sheeple aren’t so enamored of the apologetic Obama’s a__ kissing world tour.

    Did the Paulites co-opt a good word for mindless zombies? How about the timeless “suckers”? If I have inadvertantly sounded Ronulan, it was not my intention. I am not. I do however believe that a segment of the population will pull the lever for whoever they are directed to by the media. So does the media.

      It was at +10 earlier this week, and will probably go up again before dropping down any more

      Though the trend certainly is downwards. His net favorables are only one point ahead of his electoral percentage, which doesn’t bode well for his future prospects.

        rather than any substantial movement, Now it’s right back in line with the longer trend arcs.
