Recent FOX News poll showed 53% approval rating for Obama.
They did not report it on television. Also, realclearpolitics, who has always used the FOX poll as part of their averageing ignored it.

5. Fox doesn't poll anyway
They have a firm that does the polling and their numbers are credible.

2. Actually, his approval rating in that poll is 48% to 43% disapproval.
Favoribility really just measures if you like somebody or not.

4. Your title could be more clear. This Fox "poll" gives Obama 53% approval only among Democrats
Edited on Sun May-16-10 03:46 PM by David Zephyr
And, I know Obama has higher approval among Democrats than that.

In the bigger picture, it is a Fox poll which means it is clearly biased and, therefore, worthless. But even Fox has modified upward the Democrats chances in November.

So, overall, I think it is a positive for Democrats.
