Public Policy Poll(PPP): Obama and Liberals

[WI_DEM]

Obama and Liberals

I feel like I write the 'most liberals still like Obama' blog post every few months but stuff keeps on happening to necessitate writing it again so I will:

On the national poll we'll release this week 85% of liberals approve of the job Obama is doing to 12% disapproving. 88% support his health care plan looking back with only 7% opposed.

Not only are those numbers good, but they're steady. Obama's favor with liberals hasn't been on the decline. In May his approval with liberals was 87/10. In February it was 81/15. In November it was 87/4. Even as his ratings have declined overall he's stayed in that sort of mid-80s range with liberal voters.

The volume of the voices of liberals who don't like Obama is much greater than the volume of their numbers, which probably means Robert Gibbs shouldn't let the select few get him so irritated.

I don't think it's liberals that Gibb was directing his comments too.

1. It wasn't but some people like to assume any criticism is aimed at them personally.

We need an "I've been wronged!!!" smilie.

2. Excellent distinction: volume of their voices/volume of their numbers!

4. Gibbs really should keep his thoughts to himself before an election!

The Democratic Party can ill afford to lose Liberal support!

5. Except that most liberals know he's not talking about them.

The tantrum brigade on DU, however, knows that he's talking EXACTLY about them.

6. I approve of Obama's perfomance, but I was still offended by the comment

They are not mutually exclusive.
