And his approval number certainly has NOT gone up during this Democrat manufactured crisis. The Shutdown Is Boosting Barack Obama's Poll Numbers, and Republicans Don't Care He didn't mention which polling that was, and I didn't press, but if you read into the crosstabs of polls ... actually, you still don't come up with a scenario in which the president's stock is falling faster than Republicans'. *In the RealClearPolitics* average, Barack Obama's approval has actually stabilized or edged up since the nadir of September, and the backlash to the Syria imbroglio. The Fox News poll has him bouncing from -14 to -4; the Gallup and Rasmussen trackers have him basically even; YouGov has him bouncing from -12 to even. Even the Reuters/Ipsos poll that puts Obama at -10 represents a move up from -16. The average gives Obama a 45 percent approval rating, and that's even baking in the newsy AP/GFK poll that puts him at 37 percent.** And the AP/GFK is 1) conducted online and 2) making the most news for giving Congress a 5 percent approval rating. The average gives Congress an 11 percent approval rating. Since the start of the shutdown, Congress is down from -57 to -74 in Gallup, from -58 to -68 in Fox, -58 to -77 in CNN, and stable at -66 in YouGov. slate.com
