Perhaps that's why you shouldn't just rely upon ONE pollster! Especially when that pollster is all off alone in a corner by himself. <GGG> (Rassmussen is the ONLY national poll that shows anything of that sort. All the others show strong net positive approvals, not negative numbers): President Obama Job Approval Poll Date Approve/Disapprove Spread Ipsos/McClatchy 07/30 - 08/03 +21 Marist 08/03 - 08/06 +20 CNN/Opinion Research* 07/31 - 08/03 +16 Zogby 07/31 - 08/04 +15 Gallup 08/09 - 08/11 +13 Quinnipiac 07/27 - 08/03 +8 Rasmussen Reports 08/10 - 08/12 -5 RCP Average 7/27 - 8/12 -- 53.1 40.6 +12.5 Rasmussen, (the ONLY poll out of seven showing anything like negative approval numbers), seems clearly to be a bit of an outlier. If we take it's extreme results out Presidential approval is at plus 15.5%. (Or --- to be fair --- if we take the most extreme outliers from each end of the scale out, Rasmussen and Ipsos... we get an average approval number sitting at + 14.4%) realclearpolitics.com
