People prefer adults in government. 42% of them, anyway.

3. Not that I think polls matter in this stage of the game, but 42% is nothing to cheer about. |

Obama's average approval rating, as well as his record lows, are substantially better than the similar numbers for the first terms of Reagan and Clinton, both of whom hit the mid-30s for lows, and whose average approval was between 1 and 5 points lower.

6. Yes, I understand that, but both Reagan and Clinton were never handed an economy |
|
like this, AND they were never disrespected to this disagree. Factor in party AND race, and here we are talking about how both Perry and Romney can beat him. No, it's still nothing to cheer about because I have no faith in the American people and the impossible standards that they lay at this president's feet, all the while electing Reagan, Clinton and Bush II TWICE!!!

11. Plenty of that could be the margin of error from random sampling |
|
With a situation in which most people regularly pick either 'approve' or 'disapprove', then you're more or less looking at the swing in just one number; if that's a sample of about 1000 people, then you'd expect to see 3% changes in the approval number once every 20 days or so. After one day, it doesn't mean much. Keep it up for a couple of days, and it looks significant.
