The thing I hate most about the internet is that people just dissapear when facts come to the table.
They are wrong.
You want facts? Here are facts.
Democratic Party Image drops to Record Low
Also, Gallup's approval numbers for Obama are in sharp contrast to OldDragger's:
They show an approval rating of 49% with a disapproval rating of 46%. Half polled like how he's handling things but almost half don't. Where do you think that number is headed when Obama starts his BS with Cap and Trade and Illegal Immigration?
So here's the clear picture - Half of those polled don't like the job Obama is doing and more than half polled don't like the way the Democratic Party is headed with their "TAX TAX TAX" philosophy.
To me that spells a huge reckoning coming in November. Better get ready for it now. And that's a fact.

Why are you trying so hard to distort the facts by using ONLY the "strongly" approve/disapprove numbers??? I guess no one elses opinion matters...only if you are REALLY REALLY for Obama or REALLY REALLY against him....does your opinion count in your opionion????
So you are basically looking at how many republicans are holding the party line vs how many democrats are holding the party line.
Be honest with yourself...look at all the numbers...not just the one that helps push your agenda.
Rasmussen does this because he has an agenda to push...otherwise he wouldn't get invited to Fox News all the time. He releases this table knowing that people like you will push these agenda numbers to make things look worse than they are...but look at the TOTAL numbers. The index really isn't -14....it is -4....but that doesn't really help your personal anti-Obama agenda...so you will WILLINGLY IGNORE DATA AND ACCEPT IGNORANCE...just to try to push your agenda a little further.
Look at the average of the polls HERE
I know it isn't good for your agenda...but the average index is a +0.8.
Now...can you be honest with yourself and come here and admit that you are intentionally trying to distort facts to push your agenda? Or are you going to say the numbers I have posted are false?

I knew I wouldn't be dissapointed...someone will always try to distort facts to push their agenda.

Well...I'm not talking about the Democratic Party Image...I'm talking about Obama. But nice try in attempting to mis-direct the topic to numbers that will coincide with your agenda...but I'm not going to bite.
Let's stay on topic.
Also, Gallup's approval numbers for Obama are in sharp contrast to OldDragger's:
They show an approval rating of 49% with a disapproval rating of 46%. Half polled like how he's handling things but almost half don't. Where do you think that number is headed when Obama starts his BS with Cap and Trade and Illegal Immigration?
If Obama stays above 40% by the time the 2012 campaign starts...he is fine and will be re-elected easily.
But how is this a "sharp contrast"??? 49% after all this past year has seen...that is damn good. Plus, he is still in the positive index according to the poll you quote....I still like to go with the average though that doesn't show such a large margin...but still a very comfortable spot for Obama to be in. (HINT: don't believe Fox News when they say approval ratings in the 40's are bad).
So here's the clear picture - Half of those polled don't like the job Obama is doing and more than half polled don't like the way the Democratic Party is headed with their "TAX TAX TAX" philosophy.
To me that spells a huge reckoning coming in November. Better get ready for it now. And that's a fact.
That is not a very clear picture at all...it is a lot of opinion and even more speculation.
I have no misconceptions about November...Dems will lose seats...it is almost a given. But Republicans are not going to take the majority in either the house or the senate...not even close. I think they will take 3-5 in the senate and maybe 10-15 in the house.
The wins will be overblown...over looking the fact that the controlling party almost always loses seats in a mid-term election. 2012 will paint a much clearer picture...which I have no idea what it will be at that time...2012 is a long ways off....heck...November is a long ways off in the political world.

distort nothing about the guy, the numbers are quite accurate and you post "wiki"?
So are you suggesting the historical numbers are not accurate?
Did you look at the footnotes?
Are you suggesting the Roper archives are not accurate?
What ARE you suggesting about the Wiki article?
That it proves nothing? It's simply a historical record.
WTF?

I'm totally disinterested in convincing you of anything.
Ok, I cop to it, Wiki conspired to alter all previous Presidents poll numbers as part of the sweeping commie/Muslim/antchrist/ anti American Obama conspiracy.
Happy now?
WOW! Another guy I'll never take seriously again!
