Since the person who authored this poll did not put a limit on the # of times a person can vote, we can turn the tide of these negative ratings if each of us votes 100,000 times. I admit that's more times than I voted for our leader, but ACORN could get me only so many phony voter registration cards.

There's your answer as to the validity of the poll.

But that can work both ways, no? Aren't Obama supporters also allowed to vote as many times as they want?

Of course.

Some of us don't waste our time on polls, especially those that allow people to vote multiple times.

Sort of like American Idol et al.

Remember the AOL polls last fall showing McCain winning all 50 states?

Apparently, it's the Obama haters that enjoy rigging these polls.

When he actually starts making some POSITIVE progress, then maybe we'll see his numbers increase.......until then they will continue to sag!

AOL is chuck full o' extreme right wingers, Yahoo is not.

Look, I'm not trying to defend the results of the poll. I'm just curious as to why this poll is not split right down the middle, as it should.

I'm surprised at these results, because I imagine that 80 percent of the Obama supporters constitute 90 percent of the unemployed American population, and therefore have nothing else to do but go to the library, get online and give praise to their messiah.

Polls like this are not scientific, for starters. In a situation like this all it really takes is for the polls to be posted on a few more conservative or liberal blogs to make the results even more asinine one way or the other.
