President Obama Loses In Polls

Rush went over the poll numbers today in detail, and to tell the truth I still don't understand it (the crunching of the numbers, not the fact that they're lower!). Bottom line - Obama's approval ratings are lower this week than they were last week.

As I've said often, I don't really trust polls. Indeed, I think they are evil. Some polling agency talks to 1,000 people. 1000 measly people! Then they report the results as if a "majority of Americans" (as opposed to a majority of 1000 people) believe this or that.

And the "sheep" who do no more than read headlines rather than the articles, are for some reason influenced by these poll numbers to think, "If everyone else is going to vote this way or that way, I'll vote that way too."

I wouldn't have believed it was possible, years ago, but now I'd believe anything!

The latest New York Times poll shows that President Obama's approval rating has hit an all-time low. One month ago, 50% of Americans approved and 43% disapproved. Now, it's 41% approve, 47% disapproval. But the new poll also shows Americans strongly support an exemption to let birth control mandate by 57% to 36% for religiously affiliated employers. And by 51% to 40%, Americans support. So they've lost. Not only did it backfire, it backfired so bad that Obama lost tremendous, humongous ground in approval numbers.
