David Littleman????
BTW - his poll numbers have been improving not slipping.
HOWEVER: Trying to corrolate approval numbers today with Obama's potential for re-election is foolish. It assumes a Republican candidate can achieve a higher rating.
Right now - there is no challenger to weigh Obama's numbers against (or the challengers who have been suggested lag far behind.)
A voter could approve of Obama and STILL vote for another candidate IF they approve of that other candidate more and someone who reports disapproving of Obama could still vote for him if they disapprove of his opponent even more.
Until you have someone to compare Obama's numbers with - they are of little value. They may indicate the level of popularity his opponent would need to achieve to have a fighting chance, but not much more.

Again, those are "likely voters" according to Rasmussen.
don't forget to click your heels three times when you say it or it might not come true......
just keeping telling yourself that - evidence be damned. Did you try blowing out ALL the candles when you said it?
Rasmussen Reports determines its partisan weighting targets through a dynamic weighting system that takes into account the state’s voting history, national trends, and recent polling in a particular state or geographic area.
Rasmussen Reports uses an automated polling methodology while some firms use operator-assisted techniques. Generally, these different methodologies generate about the same level of approval for different political figures, but the automated technology generally registers a higher level of disapproval...
...Rasmussen Reports surveys tend to have lower levels of no opinions and higher levels of unfavorable opinions for political figures.
And, as nodog correctly pointed out, "Likely Voter" scenarios are useless without an actual opponent.

So you disagree with Rassmussen's methodology, but agree with the ones who weigh heavily to the left based on past voting results?
I saw a different study - one not on wikipedia....
Dude had it in another thread...
Rass was on top...
