Just another stone on a pile with partisan differences. I find it very surprising there can be a 16 point spread between two polls to be honest with you.

Mach, other than spending us into oblivian, Obama seems to be more focused on Bush's presidency than his own. If he can keep the sheeple focused on Bush he'll continue to score well. BTW, I was not asked my opinion.

When only 21% of your sample are republicans, you tend to get a nice skew in the dem direction.

I don't doubt these figures and feel they are probably too low in estimation.

After all, the Anti-Christ is supposed to have almost a 100% approval rating WORLD WIDE when he takes over the Temple.

And well it's only been 100 Days after all .... that is short term even for an Anti-Christ being from another dimension ...

This will all come down to whether the economy recovers. The people who support Obama now have all bought into the idea that things will get better.

They're not going to. They're going to get worse. When that becomes obvious, then we'll see movement in the approval numbers. My best guess is that the Dow will have a euphoric peak before the end of the summer, best guess 9000, and then will crater. I expect it to be below 6000 by year-end, on its way to about 4000. That's hardly the only economic indicator, but it is one that people know, and I expect that the others will pretty much be in tow.

Obamanomics cannot work. If you believe it can, please answer two questions:
1. When everything is in place--taxes on the "rich", cap-and-trade, card check, the whole Obama program--why would anyone choose the USA as a location for a new business operation (except those retail and service operations which necessarily must locate physically near their customers)?
2. If value-added activities eschew the USA, how do we make the economy work?

We cannot all get rich delivering pizzas to each other. That's been the problem with the US economy since the 1960s, and Obamanomics cannot help but make it worse.

By the way, if you are an Obama supporter and you do attempt thoughtful answers to those two questions, you will be the first. The usual reaction is an ad hominem attack on me. That simply confirms that they have no answer either.
