Rasmussen delivers more the-sky-is-falling-on-Obama spin in the WSJ »
Posted By Progressive 1 week, 3 days ago in Political OpinionContinuing his obsession with documenting how supposedly weak Obama's polling numbers are, the GOP's favorite 'independent' pollster Scott Rasmussen teams up with colleague Douglas Schoen in the WSJ today to (surprise!) try to detail how weak Obama's polling numbers are. And yes, this is the same duo that teamed up in the winter in the pages of the WSJ to...try to detail how weak Obama's polling numbers were. (See a pattern? And did these two ever weigh in as Bush's polling numbers cratered?)

WRONG.

rasmussen missed the electoral college count by quite a bit. (thats how you win the presidency btw).
a few pollsters got much much closer.
and since rasmussen was a paid consultant for the GOP druing the election, they are more than tainted.
you guys will have to come up with another source for your "numbers" cause rasmussen will only get you laughed at. -

It will be a slow evolutionary process for the American public to transfer their thought processes from the “shoot from the hip” tactics/mentality of GWB to the more deliberate and thoughtful processes of President Obama. It will take time for Americans to understand this transformational process, but it will occur if President Obama is given the time and is steadfast in bringing reason back to the world population’s view regarding the true intent of what the USA stands for that was destroyed during the eight years of GWB.

Umm, what was obie accused of this past summer with regards to a white police officer arresting a black professor? This is what you call "deliberate and thoughtful processes"? If so, then the US is in big trouble. -

What you and the authors of the story ignore is that ALL of the polls are saying the same thing. They might be different by a few points by the way they ask the questions but all have Obama sinking in the polls.

40% is the magic number. If he hits that before the 2010 elections there will be a turnover in congress from Democrat to Republican. That is what happened to Clinton. First year the Republicans won the governors seats with Hillary care being bashed. Then his numbers dropped to 40% and the Republicans swept into office in 1992 election. The trends are going for a repeat.

First, please don't dignify the gop with capitals. Then, understand that the gop had no chance of trumping the Dems last go'round without using the same deceptive tactics that put bush in the White House both times. Obama won in a landslide because there was no other honest outcome.
Don't start that Revisionist crap.

This is becoming more and more amusing as each day passes. For years, libs would hunt out every little nuance of an error that Bush made, and scream about it from the highest rooftops, as though he had done something terribly wrong.

Now, they have obie, the ONE, the hand-picked messiah, and they are finding out that obie is just as bad, if not worse, than Bush was. And they are now denying that the "American People have spoken".
Guess what, it's true. obie is now on the hot seat. Bush went home. It is now obie's problem. More and more people are getting ticked off at obie becasue they are in worse shape now than they were 1 year ago. More people are unemployed now, than 1 year ago. More homes have been foreclosed now, than one year ago. And regardless of how loud you libs scream:"It's Bush's fault", people are looking to the man in charge to fix it. And when obie finally tells the American people he can't fix it, he will then have spoken his first truth as president. Until then, he will continue to bury the US in debt trying to "spend our way into prosperity", force us to go into deeper febt with socialized medicine, and probably even mandate that the Cubs win the world series.
like, oh you know, accusing a white police officer of aressting a black professor because of skin color.-

TOD I believe you have that backwards. You guys are the ones hunting every little nuance. There have been many posts on here lately over Obama's not saluting, bowing, etc. To be frank it's all you have to bitch about. You can't even find a REAL article to post.
