1. noise

why do people get worked up about this?

[Dawgs]

2. Economic recovery will determine his poll numbers.

This is probably noise from stock market correction and oil spill.

[Lasher]

3. You won't see that very often.

Except in the last days just before an election.

[jenmito]

5. Exactly. n/t

[Jennicut]

4. Rasmussen had him down to 42% a few days ago and that was BS.

So they had to bring it back up.

[jenmito]

6. I know...

it makes no sense other than to conclude it's BS that he can tout on Faux.

[Jennicut]

7. Gallup I understand. With the oil spill it will go down. But I think

with his press conference and now his being in LA today it will go back up.

[marshall]

8. What about next week's?

It will get better!

[Robbins]

9. Gallup

His numbers will Improve with gallup they go up and down.This Is probally a backlash In gallup polling to the Oil Spill.Believe me
with Democrats looking better for the fall Obama's numbers will go back up.

10. since ras is right wing leaning, the news of the week (oil spill response)

won't be a negative for them if they are honest.

[Jack Rabbit]

11. I figure if Gallup has him at 45, he's really at 51.

I guess Rassmussen finally polled a few people who weren't having cocktails on the 19th hole of a ritzy country club.
