You will notice that the pretty logo with the Presidential Seal reads (in small type to the left), and I quote, "1,500 Likely Voters." Not even actual voters, but only likely. And merely 1,500 of them...in a country with more than 275 million citizens!
Now, honestly, when are you going to admit that these "reports," "polls," "studies," etc. are all just an economy-sized load of crap? Someone has an agenda, and sets out to show that they're right while everyone else is, simultaneously, wrong.
And even so, the notion that the President should somehow throw his hands up in defeat and abdicate his office after only three months--because a handful of biased media types don't like the fact that he won the election in the first place--is just plain ridiculous.
Thats funny, when a poll comes out proving a liberal, you all treat it as gospel.
That's utterly ridiculous..Is that why you and other right-wingers hid under the covers as Bush ignored the constitution and spent us into oblivion with no plan for the future?..Approval comes when one does things worth approving. It's apparent that you have a case of "selective approval syndrome". Seek help.
Didn't hide under the covers but definately did not wake up quick enough. After seeing how much one administration can screw up in eight years I don't want to sit back and watch the dems make the same and / or even worse mistakes... Republicans and democrats - one government with two faces set up to make us think we have a voice in the matter.

Next time try and hold down the generalizations a little, OK? I myself do not put faith in ANY poll that takes a handful of respondents and then extrapolates their findings to declare what the entire nation thinks or believes. As a matter of fact, I tend to ignore polls as much as I can. They very, very rarely "prove" anything. (Neither am I a member of the Label Club. I don't care if you're Liberal, Conservative, or Venusian).

Could you list some the things you believe were Bush's screw ups? Please be specific.
These people don't really know that those polls that are done by professional pollsters will never find anything the hiring entity doesn't want to see. Any poll is influenced by who is polled (and Rasmussen doing 1500 people have a much larger sampling than the others). They also depend on some things like what is the question, how is it asked, and so on.
If anyone is likely to look at the Rasmussen poll they would see that they ask do you strongly support whoever, somewhat support him, somewhat not support him or strongly disfavor him. They tell you that their numbers of today showed 35% strongly support Obama and 32% strongly don't support. What about the other 33%? Well some tepidly support and others tepidly don't support.
Read them as they are reported and try to understand just what is going on.
