Hollywood owns Obama--He did their bidding when megaupload guy was arrested. Apparently a few Liberals are capable of learning a lesson once they've been sacrificed for political expediency. Deal proposed by LaLaLand execs was probably you put this guy behind bars and we'll make large re-election contributions to you, as usual. The newly enlightened person has launched a musical protest of Hollywood's fav puppet: youtu.be

You haven't mentioned that oil is back up again and gas prices rose quite swiftly in the last month.

Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. New data shows why the president’s “you didn’t build that” comments have created such a furor. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Likely Voters believe that small business owners work harder than others. Seventy-two percent (72%) believe those who start businesses are primarily responsible for the success or failure of their own business. Most also believe that entrepreneurs create more jobs than either government programs or big business. Republicans continue to hold a modest three-point edge on the Generic Congressional Ballot. Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). See tracking history. Perceptions of the economy vary greatly based upon partisan affiliation. Democrats currently have a much more optimistic view of the U.S. economy than either Republicans or unaffiliated adults. Among other differences, a solid plurality of Democrats believes the economy is getting better, while most Republicans and unaffiliateds believe it is getting worse. (Presidential Job Approval Data Below) A president’s Job Approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. Typically, the president’s Job Approval rating on Election Day will be close to the share of the vote he receives. Currently, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. Fifty percent (50%) at least somewhat disapprove ( see trends). Most voters continue to favor repeal of the president’s health care law. Hardly anyone believes it is possible to make public places completely safe against violence like the incident in Colorado. Forty-one percent (41%) now believe stricter gun control laws are needed, but 51% disagree. Fewer than half of all Americans believe buying a home is the best investment a family can make. If you’d like Scott Rasmussen to speak to your organization, meeting, or conference, please contact Premiere Speakers. (Approval Index data below) Intensity of support or opposition can have an impact on campaigns. Currently, 28% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way Obama is performing as president. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove, giving him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12 ( see trends). During midterm elections, intensity of support can have a tremendous impact on turnout. That was demonstrated in 2010 when Republicans and unaffiliated voters turned out in large numbers to express opposition to the Obama administration’s policies. However, in presidential election years, there is a smaller impact on turnout. To get a sense of longer-term Job Approval trends for the president, Rasmussen Reports also compiles our tracking data on a full month-by-month basis. (More below) Rasmussen Reports is a media company whose work is followed by millions on a wide variety of platforms. We regularly release our results at RasmussenReports.com, through a daily email newsletter, a nationally syndicated radio news service, an online video service and a weekly newspaper column distributed by Creators Syndicate. A nationally syndicated TV show-- What America Thinks --is scheduled for launch in September 2012. Our firm has been a pioneer in the use of automated telephone polling techniques, but many other firms still utilize their own operator-assisted technology ( see methodology). Pollsters for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton have cited our " unchallenged record for both integrity and accuracy." During Election 2008, Rasmussen Reports projected that Barack Obama would defeat John McCain by a 52% to 46% margin. Obama was 53% to 46%. In 2004, Rasmussen Reports was the only firm to project the vote totals for both candidates within half a percentage point. Learn more about the Rasmussen Reports track record over the years. Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Platinum Members.
