The media tells us that Obama's ratings are down - are YOU buying it?

[devilgrrl]

I keep hearing that his popularity is waning and I smell bullshit.

He may not be as progressive as I hoped but he's better than anything in the past 30 years.

And there you have it.

1. they have to be down a little

The new car smell is wearing off. Not everyone is as enthusiastic as they were on election day.

4. +1

2. Not buying it. Others polls still show him holding stong.

Not worried in the least, any progress is going to take some time and everyone knows that even if they don't want to admit it.

3. CBS poll has his approval still at 63%.

5. Well, since polls are just a sample, I believe that there are going to be polls

with lower numbers or higher numbers than Obama's actual approval rating.

6. No...

David Gregory is the main purveyor that allegation. Meanwhile, the ratings of his show, "Meet the Press", are at an all-time low. This is nothing but your typical right-wing projection/distraction.

7. Meh....they don't seem that unreasonable to me..

His numbers were bound to drop a little. Hopefully the stim kicks in and people start getting back to work (including me).:patriot:

8. variability

His numbers will vary continuously. Anything above 50% is huge. Above 60 almost becomes "meaningless" because you start to approach the 30% that will never, and the other 10 will be fickle by the hour.

9. No, the Media helped destroy Health Care under Clinton. and they

now have to turn on Obama.

It is Media who have the Cadillac Insurance Policies. Yesterday
Tweety explained they fear a Public Option would make it tempting
for Businesses and Corporations just to decide not to offer health
care benefits. That would mean they (Media) would have to move
into Public Plan.

He further explained that he believes care will be rationed.

At least Chris was honest. So do not go attacking him. He
told the truth.

Instead watch all TV coverage and note how the framing of the
subject is changing.

Why do you think Politico, Fox and Cnn have run with Health Care
may fail.

Yesterday, it was determined that the attitude toward Obama would change


General Electric gives the best of the best, so I have heard.
In the end, the Media just like every other group looks out for
their own self interest.

10. His ratings are down a bit with me, right now.

[Zywiec]

11. No, I only agree with the media and government

when they say something that supports by point of view.

Otherwise, they are big liars!

[devilgrrl]

12. So if they keep saying that Obama's ratings are dropping like flies - it must be true?

Do I have to remind you that they kissed W's ass up & down for the past 8 years?
