President Obama's approval rating UP; GOP's plummets (Congress, Iraq, Afghanistan)

Whether this stunning defeat for the GOP in today's opinion polls translates to electoral losses remains to be seen. The public, it seems, has a short memory and a forgiving spirit.

Finally, someone who freakin' understands the proper use and context of political polling.

Thank you. Repped.

Barry's approval rating is 37%. Doesn't look to me like it's going up.

So OP I have to ask? What chapter in your fiction novel that you're writing are you currently on?

Approval ratings well under 50 percent ain't good tho the POTUS is doing a bit better than the Repubs. IF Obama's rating was higher than 50; that'd be a different thing.

Even Wolf Blitzer of CNN has abandoned Obama and said he should have waited a year before bringing out Obama care. If he lost Wolf, he has lost America.

I sincerely doubt any poll showing approval for the "Spite House."

Since paying for healthcare is closely related to aging insurance, I would disagree.

Yet, approval of Obamacare is up regardless of Wolf's personal opinion.

Now this is hilarious. Wolf Blitzer does not speak for America. He never has. You may have been able to make a dubious claim during the 1991 Gulf War, but certainly not now. No one watches CNN. He ain't Cronkite.
