"So what?" So what I said... the statistical ROLLING AVERAGE of all the most recent big polls is far more dependable and reliable then ANY ONE poll ever can be. FYI though (on the recent polls about Obama): ... Forty-nine percent of people questioned in an ABC News/Washington Post survey released Monday approve of the way Obama is handling health care. That approval is down 4 percentage points from last month and 9 points from April. Forty-four percent disapprove, up 5 percentage points from June and 15 points from April. The ABC News/Washington Post poll is the third national survey to suggest that the president's approval rating on overhauling health care is under 50 percent, joining a CBS News poll and Quinnipiac University survey. At the same time, the new poll also indicates Obama still has a large advantage over Republicans on the issue. Fifty-four percent of those questioned say they trust Obama to do a better job handling health care than Republicans in Congress, with 34 percent putting more faith in the latter than the president. The ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted Wednesday through Saturday, with 1,001 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points. cnn.com So... on the issue of 'Health Care', during this season of hard-fought public debate, and battling political parties over the issue... President Obama has (not too unexpectedly <g>) lost a couple of points of support over the issue recently --- yet he still maintains a 20 point lead over Congressional Republicans on the issue, who are preferred by the public only 34% of the time on this issue.... (54% to 34%... It's all relative....)
