Obama Approval +5 ... Why?

[bendog]

I don't see the beef with the poll or Obama's numbers. Regardless of party, the potus will retain the 30% or so who will never support the other party.

Nodog is probably right in that the economy is limping along. Longterm rates may go higher later this year, Obama's going to drive up energy costs, and I strongly suspect a bear market.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Let me apply the classic conservative reason to that poll.

It's because Rasmussen polls 'likely voters'.

 

[Sallow]

This is Obama's best approval rating poll since July of 2013.
If it isn't the result of more optimism on the economy, what could it be?

Maybe this has something to do with it.

come november we'll see how his approval rating really is. get ready to kiss the senate goodbye

 

[Bush92]

The data for this poll was most likely gathered before Sgt. Bunghole debacle.

June 1 to June 3

The story broke on a weekend news cycle and was not processed until last 48 hours. Watch his numbers drop like a lead balloon over the next 72 hours.

That's not happening.

Democrats will retain the Senate.

I am willing to bet sigs on that.

[C_Clayton_Jones]

whoa, it's a RISING out of the stratosphere

all of 5 wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lets all bow

Considering that conservatives have been doing their damnest to break the government and destroy his presidency with scorched earth strategy?

They've managed to get the scorn of most Americans, slow the economic recovery, and in the end, will bolster Obama's popularity and assure that Clinton will win in 2016,

Ain't it grand?

Pretty much.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Far better than Bush.

A growing economy.

No massive fuck ups.

A national tiredness of the far right whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining and whining

You left out this little nugget.

"The latest figures include 24% who Strongly Approve of the way Obama is performing as president and 36% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12."

More people strongly disapprove than strongly approve.

By more than 10 points.

These are the states that have had their unemployment rates go down. Notice that most are states run by republican governors.

"Colorado (Hickenlooper - D): 6.2% (down 2.8 points since Dec. 2010)
Connecticut (Malloy - D): 7.4% (down 2 points)
Florida (Scott - R): 6.2% (down 4.9 points)
Georgia (Deal - R): 7.4% (down 2.8 points)
Illinois (Quinn - D): 8.6% (down 1.5 points)
Maine: 6.2% (LePage - R) (down 1.8 points)
Michigan (Snyder - R): 8.4% (down 2.9 points)
Ohio (Kasich - R): 7.2% (down 2 points)
Pennsylvania (Corbett - R): 6.9% (down 1.2 points)
South Carolina (Haley - R): 6.6% (down 4.1 points)
Wisconsin (Walker - R): 6.2% (down 1.6 points)"

Is the economy truly improving? Depends on which Republican you ask - First Read

 

[Misty]

Liberals put out their talking points and then they run with it. But if you lift up the curtain you can see the truth.

Rasmussen polled it. 40% approve 43% disapprove.

Try -9, fresh from Gallup. Which trumps your Rasmussen poll.

Economy shrank last month.

Obama fucked up on the VA, the NSA, IRS, Obamacare and Bergdahl.

That is meaningless stat when the GOP and congress poll even worse than that.
