How can a 3 day old "Gallup Daily Tracking Poll" be right?
PRINCETON, NJ -- President Obama's job approval rating dropped to 40% during the week spanning Aug. 8-14, the lowest weekly average of his administration. During this period, Obama's three-day rolling average also hit a new low of 39% for Aug. 11-13, the first such average below 40% since he took office, though it recovered to 41% for Aug. 12-14.

Sounds like two different polls and you're just picking the highest one.....like I said.

tomorrow it will be Aug 13-15, hence the "Daily" tracking poll. He picked the latest, which happens to be the latest.
There are sharp disparities in credit characteristics between communities of color and white communities in Illinois, a new report from Woodstock Institute found. Bridging the Gap: Credit Scores and Economic Opportunity in Illinois Communities of Color analyzed credit score data from a major national credit bureau for the State of Illinois and found that individuals living in communities of color were far more likely to have non-prime credit scores, while individuals in predominantly white communities were much more likely to have prime credit scores.
Statewide, 20.3 percent of people had credit scores below 620, a common boundary for consideration for prime credit. In contrast, 54.2 percent of the population in highly African-American neighborhoods had scores below 620 and only 16.5 percent of the population in predominantly white neighborhoods credit scores below 620.
The report found tremendous polarization in credit score distributions. Highly African American communities were almost four times as likely to have individuals with credit scores in the lowest range as predominantly white communities, while predominantly white communities were more than three times as likely to have individuals with credit scores in the highest range as highly African American communities.
In highly African American communities, 43.3 percent of individuals had a credit score below 580, compared to 11.5 percent in predominantly white communities. On the other end of the spectrum, 56.7 percent of individuals in predominantly white communities had credit scores above 740, compared to only 17.6 percent of individuals in highly African American communities.
Yes, there is a correlation between the quality of ones credit record and ones race. A 2000 study by Freddie Mac found striking race-credit correlations:
percent of group whose credit record is:
Racial Group ................ bad .... indeterminate .... good
African Americans ......... 48% ............ 16% ............. 36%
Hispanics ..................... 34% ........... 15% ............. 51%3
Whites ........................ 27% ........... 12% ............. 61%4
Notably, the same Freddie Mac study showed, the race-credit correlation is even stronger than the income-credit correlation:
Annual Income percent of group with bad credit record
Under * $25,000 36%
$25,000*$44,999 33%
$45,000*$64,999 25%
$65,000*$75,000 22%
In other words, low-wage workers (assume $14,000 per year, 40 weekly hours of work at $7 per hour) have bad credit records at only a 13% higher rate than those earning five times as much ($70,000 per year) but African-Americans have bad credit records at a 21% higher rate than Whites. This 21% white/black disparity in likelihood of bad credit is almost exactly the same magnitude as the 22% white/black disparity in likelihood of holding a high school diploma of Griggs v. Duke Power Co., in which the Court disallowed a requirement of a high school diploma for certain manual labor jobs because 34% of white males but only 12% of African-American males had high school diplomas in the state.
The finding of a racial correlation does not appear to control for income, i.e., it does not tell us how much of the race-credit correlation is due to African-Americans having, on average, lower incomes than whites but white/black income disparities appear insufficient to explain the race-credit correlation. For example, the difference between the average African-American family income ($26,500) and white family income ($47,100) would predict only an 8-point difference in the percent of bad credit records not the 21-point white/black gap we actually see. Moreover, even if the race-credit correlation did trace to income or other non-race factors, that would not diminish the racially disparate impact of relying on credit record: the practice still screens out African-Americans, and the entire point of disparate impact doctrine is to target employment practices whose effects simply correlate with race; the employment practice whether a physical test, a diploma requirement, or something else need not be based on race to be unlawfully discriminatory.
The correlation between credit record and race is only exacerbated by the fact that various credit problems correlate with race.
Over the last few months we have seen Alan Colmes & Juan Williams denying any poll showing Obama losing/and or/tied with Romney & A Generic Candidate. So what are they going to say about his 39% approval with a year to go?
Alan Colmes being the head liberal dufass of Fox News will come up with his own 3rd grade caculations why Obama will beat Perry in a landslide, Juan Williams will probably use the 2008 example of how Obama was losing to McCain at one point,and came back to win.
Uhm, Americans are not that blind and dumbfounded(as Obama sees them) Perry is gonna topple Obama. It's going to be like Reagan VS Anthony Weiner in November 2012.

I am surprised it's that high, especially when his own people are trashinghim about a lack of a plan, etc. going on yet another vacation, being heartless. etc. Ohhhhhh, I forgot, he said he will present a plan in September after he returns from the rich and famous country of Martha's Vineyard, there over a couple of beers at the golf course he will draft a plan. I wouldn't hold my breath though,
Problem is--he has spent all his chips on the failed stimulus plan and health care bill. What's the use of a plan when you don't have any money to do it. He is just flat out of chips.
and why is yobama campainging in the RED STATE of IOWA? gee,why not go and campaign in Utah while your at it?
