Obama's approval rating among Liberal Dems rises to 81%

[Cali_Democrat]

...according to Gallup:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/124922/Presidential-Approval-Center.aspx

Gallup has been known to lowball Obama in the past when it comes to his approval rating (see the 2012 election).

I'm sure the real figure is closer to 85%.

1. Yes several polls have the president's numbers going up.

Glad to see it.

26. I wish he was on the ballot in 2014

If I was a Democrat in a heated race, I would bring Obama out to campaign with them. Some don't want too, but I think that is a big mistake. President Obama can bring out voters to vote for sure.

2. Oh hell.

Bad day for the sanctimonious, innit?

[Cha]

24. Oh well, good

day for the country!

[okaawhatever]

3. Darrell Issa wants an investigation into the numbers. He suspects foul play, lol..........nt

[blkmusclmachine]

4. I wasn't polled.

[Cali_Democrat]

5. these numbers, and most polls for that matter, are derived using samples

It isn't possible to poll everybody.

8. Margin of error is a fact in inferential stats, but often ignored in reportage.

That's what's so great about stats with election results, with everyone polled in the pool, there is no inference and no margin of error.

19. Well, with verifiable paper ballots, at least... (nt)

10. Woe is you. nt

13. Your 1 disapproving vote wouldn't have changed the outcome.

[ProSense]

16. The Obama

[Cali_Democrat]

20. LOL

[Pretzel_Warrior]

17. you were captured in "statistical inference" from their sample

funny how that works. They don't have to poll 100% of the population to obtain statistically significant results.

6. Not bad, given the "do-nothing" Congress he has to deal with.

A strong progressive majority in the House could really have helped move this country forward.

[Cali_Democrat]

7. Indeed.

GOTV 2014 and get more Dems in Congress!

9. A LocoZollo tribute thread.

Is it his birthday?

[Jamaal510]

11. I saw a poll not too long ago

that had his approval rating higher with self-described liberals than with self-described moderates. I was not expecting that at all after the things that I've read about him online.

[treestar]

12. Not surprising.

[JoePhilly]

14. Its that damn ACORN again!!

[1StrongBlackMan]

15. OMG ...

That's down 1% from just after 2010. Panic time!

[caseymoz]

18. That makes me officially a socialist radical . . .

. . . and puts me out of the Democratic Party.

[Coyotl]

21. Someone has to say it:

[Cha]

25. thanks Obama!

[pampango]

22. Long live the 19%.

[Fumesucker]

23. I think practically everyone on DU *if* they were *polled* would say they approve of Obama

It's not like this hasn't been discussed to death before on DU but like everything else it's a battle that's never won or lost.

The point is if you say you disapprove of Obama on the poll it will be automatically interpreted that you think he's a socialist commie Muslim pinko.
