What Do Poll Numbers Really Mean for Obama? (enemy, polls, health care)

[dukester.2]

But if these dozen independent voters are any guide, he has created a
strong bond with the public and a fair amount of good will as he battles for his agenda.

Hart had spent the day digesting the results of an NBC News-Wall Street Journal
poll that showed warning signs for the president. But as Hart put it when the session
in Towson ended, "Don't get fooled by the numbers alone because there is something
that is stronger there -- and that surprised me and I thought that was important."

When they're up, use them often as evidence he has much support.

When they're down, say "don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain".

Obama, outBushing Bush day by day!

His polls nare tasking a downturn as most presdients do but a little early really. people are really worried about the massive deficits coming.

This early in the game, I would be reluctant to say Obama is in trouble at this point. I will say however that he is his own worse enemy if he continues to push a leftist agenda for America.

Oh my. Is this not the worst spin you have ever heard? All of a sudden poll numbers don't matter?

I guess his lap-dog media must try and spin the horrible news somehow.

Pew, Rasmussen, Gallup, Zogby, NBC/WSJ, NYT/CBS, MSNBC - all have him sliding into the weeds.

You must be in shock, duke.

Thanks for checking in Sanrene, kind of missed ya. Where in the OP states that Poll Numbers don't matter? My you have an incredible way spinning things don't ya, kind of like FAUX NEWS. It is just like the Stock Market you have good days and bad. One week less than favorable poll numbers the next he is a superstar so take the polls for what they are worth. If it's the only thing you got to grab on to than so be it, grab like there is no tomorrow cause that's all you got... Oh, the Stock Market has had a nice run up these last few weeks but you don't see me throwing that in your face on a weekly basis...

Evidently his poll numbers are meaningless since he is doing NOTHING to stop the freefall.

I honestly do not think he or his administration worried about it at all. It's early and the Health Care Reform truly is a complex issue.

What do you expect from a group comprised of 58% obama voters?

If they are anything like the obama supporters on this forum, they are in deep, deep denial, spin time and desperate to defend him from his awful agenda.
