Why would i approve something that has a white wing bias.
Just like why would you approve something that has a left bias?
duh
Left or right?
The truth is what matters to me. How about you?
2010, Rasmussen Reports polling provided an accurate preview of Election Night outcomes. See how we did.
Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday, February 10th, shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. (see trends).
Down 2 points from just yesterday.
Rasmussen Reports Generic Congressional Ballot data was accurate, Republicans would gain 62 seats in the House during the 2010 elections.
Your polls of choice at the time, suggested the Democrats would retain a comfortable majority(even Nancy Pelosi was way off). The Republicans gained 63 seats in last month's elections.

Remember all that talk about Barack Obama’s bounce in the polls after the lame-duck session? We can officially proclaim that duck cooked now, and the bouncing cat officially dead, or at least comatose. Gallup’s latest survey on issues and presidential approval shows Obama below a majority on every single issue — and seriously underwater in the highest priorities for voters in the last midterm election:
President Barack Obama’s approval rating for handling the federal budget deficit has gone from bad to worse in recent months, even as his ratings on all other major national issues have generally held steady. Currently, 27% of Americans approve of Obama on the deficit, down from 32% in November, while 68% disapprove.
Overall, Obama is doing much better on international issues than domestic ones. Among eight issues on which Obama was rated in the new poll, Americans give the president the highest approval ratings on foreign affairs and the situations in Egypt and Afghanistan. The deficit, the economy, and taxes rank among his lowest ratings, alongside healthcare policy.
The survey was conducted Feb. 2-5, as the Obama administration was stepping up pressure on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to make a decision about continuing to lead his country in light of mass protests calling for his immediate resignation — protests with which Americans generally sympathize. The relatively small percentage disapproving of Obama on Egypt (32%) makes his overall net approval on that issue the highest of any issue tested, at +15 percentage points.
That may be Obama’s best category, but it’s still the sound of one hand clapping. On foreign affairs, Obama gets a 48/45, which is his highest approval rating among all issues — and it comes in the middle of a crisis, when Americans usually rally around a President. By the time this survey started, Obama had received little domestic criticism over his handling of the Egyptian crisis, and indeed not much at all until the final day of the survey, when his own envoy to Mubarak contradicted Obama’s calls for Mubarak’s departure. The 48/45 on overall foreign policy and the equally weak 47/32 are not votes of confidence, but weak and shallow support at best.
Obama has equally mediocre numbers on Afghanistan (47/46) and energy policy (43/42), but falls deep underwater on politically crucial issues:
Taxes: 42/54
Healthcare: 40/56
Economy: 37/60
Budget deficit: 27/68
He'll win in 2012....if he runs again.
Obama's face is gonna be on a unit of money one day. His election was a historic step forward in racial equality in the states. Lame duck or not, won't matter.
Why just list those who feel "strongly"? Do ballots count extra if the voter feels very strongly or something? Or - and I realize this is a blue-sky thought - or did somebody just cherry-pick data to make a graph that looked really, really bad? Nah...

Why don't you mention the overall Approval from Rasmussen stayed at 50%??
Btw the actual numbers for the 08 election was Obama by 7.26.
Obama won 53% and Rasmussen's final poll showed Obama winning 52%. While pleased with the final result, Rasmussen Reports was especially pleased with the stability of their results.
On every single day for the last six weeks of the campaign, their daily tracking showed Obama with a stable and solid lead attracting more than 50% of the vote.
Depends on the economy. If the unemployment rate is over about 8%, he will have a tough time winning.

If his face is on a unit of money one day, it would be monopoly or counterfeit money.
So you have said that you disagree with certian polls....that are "white winged"....
I assume that you can provide links to your "whatever" polls...
