While poor old Rachel Maddow fantasizes that she understands what is going on in conservative politics, much of the rest of the nation actually participates in the grassroots conservative movement and/or likes what they see.
58% favor the repeal of ObamaCare and that number has become a consistent polling result.
Likely voters favor Republicans, in general, 45% to 38% for Democrat approval and that number has been a constant for the past four or five month, dating back before the midterm elections.
Romney and Huckabee have drawn even with Obama in polling results and Palin is gaining.
Under Democrat rule, only 30% of this nation's likely voters believe the country is headed in the right direction; a rather startling indicator of failed confidence in Mr. Obama and whatever it is that he is trying to do to this country.
23% of all homes in this nations are "upside down," the owners' owing more than their homes are worth -- according to a real estate survey. Rasmussen has this number at 35%. Add to that number the fact that 11% of all homes are vacant, and voters see a very real problem that has not been dealt with by this Administration.
68% of voters say the United States should not get involved in the Egyptian Crisis.
57% of voters say the Federal Government's policies encourage illegal immigration - a major negative for Obama.
And, here is a surprising number: 54% of likely voters believe states have or should have the right to opt out of ObamaCare, altogether.
Point of post: while Rasmussen and Gallup have Obama's approval numbers trending upwards, almost nothing that he is doing, at present, meets with majority approval. Understand that folks vote based on their pocket books and what they see as important social issues. Obama's advancing approval numbers do not mean that his re-electability has improved to any appreciable degree. The dialectic between Obama's personal numbers and his policies does not bide well for either himself or his party, in 2012.
