This time, it?s not "likely" voters, but Quinnipiac among registered
voters which should should lean towards Obama.

"Three-quarters of American voters ? 74 percent ? like President
Barack Obama as a person, but only 47 percent like most of his
policies, and voters disapprove 51 ? 35 percent of the health care
overhaul passed by the House of Representatives which he has endorsed,
according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today."

Must have actually used valid sampling techniques - you know like not
oversampling Democrats 2.7 to 1 like the last CBS/CNN/ABC/NBC whatever
poll.

Huh - how about that.

Could you please provide the evidence of the oversampling of
Democrats, then provide the proof that this poll did not oversample
Republicans? Thank you in advance.

This site provides a list of the results of the major polls, and an
average.

Here is a list of the polling data over a period of several weeks

The bottom line is that obama has gone from a 65 approval 20%
disapproval to a 50.6 approval 43.4 disapproval.

The only organizations that give him a rating in the mid 50% are those
organizations that he controls CBS News, CNN, ABC News/Wash Post.

This site also gives the results for the same polling organizations for
Congress (64.3 disapprove) and the direction of the country (57.4%
believe it is going the wrong way.

That is the results of the polls, I don't know what his rating in in
your computer.

My computer says his popularity has tanked. He's still got a few left
wing nut cases rooting for him in rec.boats.

Five?
