While the media is busy pimping the new Quinnipiac poll taken before Obama's Libya speech

[jenmito]

(which has him down to 42% approval), today's Gallup Tracking Poll has him UP to 49%: http://www.gallup.com/Home.aspx

1. They are the pimps.....

with plenty a johns!

[jenmito]

3. I know...

but since Joe Scarborough pimped the Gallup Tracking Poll last week when Obama was down to 44% approval (and he showed that same poll the next day even though he had gone up to 45%) I'm SURE his show will be quick to show how far he has risen in the LATEST Gallup poll. Ya think?

2. C'mon, you already know why.

Everybody does.

[jenmito]

4. Of course we know. It's just a shame that some on DU are ALSO pimping the

Quinnipiac poll.

6. I support anything that will politically compel him to cease warmaking.

Political pressure is absolutely required.

[jenmito]

8. He's not "warmaking." He's helping the Libyan people. They ASKED for our help. n/t

10. And that shack isn't a craphole, it's a...fixer-upper!

11. Why deny it's a war?

I don't understand. There IS such a thing as just war. War, in itself, is not evil. I help my neighbor by letting her borrow my ladder. I don't help help her by dropping bombs on her, however.

[jenmito]

12. Because it's not a war.

A "just war" was going into Afghanistan after 9/11. What we're doing in Libya is HELPING the Libyan people. They were nearly BEGGING us to help them by dropping bombs to stop the Qaddafi forces from slaughtering them.

5. The low rating may be related to the war against Libya.

Voters oppose 47 - 41 percent America's involvement in Libya. In the survey concluded Monday evening as President Obama was addressing the nation about Libya, voters say 58 - 29 percent that he has not clearly stated U.S. goals for Libya.

7. The poll was conducted from march 22nd-28th. Of course the poll results didn't

include the night of or the days after Obama's explanation of why we took the actions we took/are taking. That's why I posted TODAY'S poll which consists of 3 days since the speech was given, and he's at 49%.

9. Quinnipiac

Since Obama took office.They have been worse pollster for Obama.He often does better with Fox and RAS than with them.

Quinnipiac should be taken out Inless you poll actual races.PPP which Is good on races also have weak overall approval numbers.
But since PPP never has Obama or trail heats against Republicans that Low they never get mentioned.
