1. what the hell's with the link?!!

2. Haha, same exact thought.

Would've been more lulzy without the link.

(But I probably wouldn't have commented since that's all the thread would've been about.)

3. I'll be curious if that number moves at all...

When he signs off on indefinite detention and corporate censorship of the internet.

It probably won't. We're a bunch of pathetic masochists and will probably find some way to justify that it isn't his fault and that he just couldn't possibly veto either bill.

7. lol. Thank you.

It took me a minute to realize it wasn't the usual poster. The link should have been a dead give-away.

8. Liberal is 72% Liberal Democrat is 84%

What's the difference?

9. I believe the term liberal is being misapplied somewhere along the way ...

Either in how the poll respondents view themselves, or in how Mr. Obama is perceived.

10. clearly

12. Those who agree with Fauxbama are the most likely to identify themselves as "lib/dems" and think of

themselves as members of the Democratic party.

See if you can find a survey of Progressive approval of Obama, or of "Liberal" approval of Obama without the "Democrat" label attached to it.

13. This data was also aggregated between 12/5 and 12/11. A week before NDAA.

I expect this weeks data to drop by at least 10 points.

14. No it won't... The definition of liberal has changed...

As is well evidenced by the people screaming "hysterical... you are all hysterical" at anyone who dares question NDAA.

I also noticed that that number hasn't changed much in 4 years. Even though I see more and more people dissatisfied with Obama that Gallup number never changes.

15. This subject was beaten like a deceased equine quadruped on DU2.

Even liberals who disagree strongly with Obama are not going to voice that disagreement on a poll because they know that it will be counted as disagreeing with Obama from the right and not from the left as they actually do.

I'm reminded of an old Arabic saying: "Me against my brother, me and my brother against my cousin, me my brother and my cousin against the stranger.".
