News? More like garbage. Just like every other thread you and crybaby Republicans start.

Except I am not making dumb threads like you people. Or in an obsessive manner.

Zogby and Rasmussen polls are not news now?

Default Does the Zogby Poll spell doom for Obama?

C'mon it's a Zogby poll. Is Zogby ever right? Both the left and right dismiss Zogby as inaccurate.

Clip:
The Right:
Although Glenn Reynolds touts the poll with only minor trepidation today, last August he was more blunt in his critique of Zogby reliability.
“Bad news for Obama: McCain Makes a Move, Takes 5-Point Lead Over Obama. … The good news for Obama: It’s a Zogby poll . . . .”
The Left:
Oliver Willis, in his entertaining “Like kryptonite to stupid” blog, provides his perspective.
“A Zogby poll is like Jim Cramer telling you to buy Bear Stearns but even less accurate,” he writes.
New poll spells doom for Obama? Nah, not really… | csmonitor.com

It's pretty well known. I'll find it. Her mantra back then was "POLLS DON'T MATTER!". Just run a search, sanrene, polls matter.

An interesting Rasmussen graph showing their trend of the Bush approval ratings v. other polls... they've leaned way right for quite some time:

But even the best liberal pols show that Obama is at the norm for president at this point except he has a rising disapproval rating. Jimmy carter had the highest at this point(70%) Obama is right there with bush II in approval and disapproval. Seems polls are only important i when they perove peole points both democratic and republican.The democratic lead congress has the lowest polls numbers ever which may say something since they are consistent in that regard.
