Republicans Jump Out To Historic Lead In Gallup Generic Ballot

________________________ ________________________ _________________


Gallup's generic polling shows the number of voters saying that they would vote for Republicans rising three points from last week, while the number saying they will vote for Democrats dropped four points.  The 49%-43% lead for the Republicans is the largest that the pollster has ever recorded for the party.  Moreover, Democratic enthusiasm for voting this fall fell a point, while enthusiasm among Republicans stayed about fifteen points higher.  This indicates an even wider lead for Republicans once Gallup imposes a likely voter screen this fall.

There's any number of reasons for this:  the public's perception of Obama's response to the oil spill, the shaky stock market performance last week, continued concern about the economy and spending.  The bottom line is that, despite what is perceived as an underperformance for the Republicans in PA-12 a couple of weeks ago, there are still plenty of Democrats in trouble for this November.

So is Gallup credible now?

Cause when Gallup says Obama has a 47% approval rating despite anally torturing our liberties... they're correct?

47% approval is considered good these days? Wasn't he around 75% at one point?

Yep.  But 47% seems waaaay better than he should be, IMO.

UE at 10% (real UE at 15% probably)...

I heard the other day that he had lowest approval rating of any president in history at this point in his term.  Not sure if that's accurate.

I'd like to see a list of all presidents, 15 months in.

They look to be pretty close at this point-

Gallup is only a few points off Ras lately. 

Without the media 24/7 shill job, barry would be at 39%.

Well, 49% of America trusts FOX news.  They're the most trusted name in news.

So, ummmm...

Additionally,

Nearly 7 in 10 Americans (67 percent) say they believe most in the media want Obama to win

So if nearly 70% of Americans are already cognizant of the fact the media is supporting this clown - why is this tactic still effective?

And didn't FOX employees donate MORE MONEY to Obama campaign than MSNBC employees did?  And more to Obama than mccain, I think?

Anyone supporting this admn, other than govt employees or welfare cases, needs to be committed to an insane asylum.
