Quinnipiac Poll

[Vinnie From Indy]

1. I'll do it again! This is like chickens endorsing Col. Sanders

Silly rabbits.

2. then there is this - same poll

Quinnipiac said that Obama gets a negative 44 percent to 51 percent approval rating among Florida voters surveyed between August 1st and 2nd, after the deal was announced, nearly unchanged from the negative 44 percent to 50 percent score among voters surveyed between July 27th and 31st, before the deal.

The president's latest approval rating represents a dramatic drop from the positive 51 percent to 43 percent rating he received in a May survey.

Obama has seen a particularly dramatic drop in approval among independent voters, falling to a 61 percent to 33 percent disapproval in the latest poll from a 47 percent to 45 percent split in May.

4. It went up

"Quinnipiac said that Obama gets a negative 44 percent to 51 percent approval rating among Florida voters surveyed between August 1st and 2nd, after the deal was announced, nearly unchanged from the negative 44 percent to 50 percent score among voters surveyed between July 27th and 31st, before the deal."

...among Democrats after the deal was announced:

11. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as President?

WEDNESDAY THRU SUNDAY.................

Approve: Dems 72%

MONDAY THRU TUESDAY...................

Approve: Dems 82%

5. up for the D's - however, overall it fell

6. No, it

"Quinnipiac said that Obama gets a negative 44 percent to 51 percent approval rating among Florida voters surveyed between August 1st and 2nd, after the deal was announced, nearly unchanged from the negative 44 percent to 50 percent score among voters surveyed between July 27th and 31st, before the deal."

...remained "nearly unchanged." A one point uptick in disapproval is likely statistical noise.

7. but from May - " . . . from the positive 51 percent to 43 percent rating"

[Towlie]

3. And a poll of anteaters reveals that an overwhelming majority of them like to eat ants.

Seriously, of what use is a poll like this when no Democratic candidate is offered as an alternative?

8. Could he get more accomplished as a one term president

If Obama would say: perhaps the stakes are so high that for me to be seen campaigning rather than working on the problems is unseemly. I should declare not to run and ask Congress back to FULL time work in Washington and get some debate, compromise and bills passed that would help the JOBS issue. Maybe Obama could say, one term and done and fight to reduce our bloated DoD spending, cut 30% of bases, bring soldiers back. Fight to provide government tax incentives to upgrade public and private buildings to become energy efficient. Really use the bully pulpit and reason with the tea partiers that declaring Coal Ash is NOT hazardous waste might be worth one term!

We can’t just limp along for the next 18 months in campaign mode.

11. You seem to forget who controls the House of Representatives.

Sure, the Teabaggers will bend to the will of a lame-duck Democrat.

Sure they will.

Oh, and who will be replacing the President? Will THEY need to campaign in this "scenario", or will they be a simple appointment who's just waiting to step in after the President has his last hurrah?

14. Here's a look at how Sanders and Dean would match against POTUS in their home state of VT:

Some were for Perry on Monday and for Obama by Wednesday.

15. Too bad votes don't count in Floriduh - and things will be worse in 2012...

...with new stop-the-vote efforts.

(I love my home state but it's a mess right now.)

16. i would have answered "yes" to that question

which means that all those "yes"'s include people that criticize him, like me.
