Obama's approval numbers, election percentage and the Marxist Media's push to keep him "at the top" of the National Popularity Contest.

From Rasmussen we see that the day before ForcedObamaCare was voted into law, Obama's approval rating was at the lowest of his last term in office -- 43%. Since that time, his numbers have improved by 6% to 49% (today's number) but remain 16 points below his early time "presidential" number of 65%. Understand that "voter approval numbers" often have little to do with an actual vote projection. As a specific example, take the 65% approval number set at the first day of Obama's administration and compare that to the FACT of the winning percentage for Obama of 6.5%. "65%" versus "6.5%. One could argue that the 65% polling number equalled a winning margin of just 6.5 points. If that is a true comparative ratio, what does it mean when Obama's approval numbers are now 16% lower than when he won election?

Date	Presidential Approval Index		Strongly Approve	Strongly Disapprove	Total Approve	Total Disapprove
3/26/2010	-10		31%	41%	49%	51%
3/25/2010	-10		32%	42%	48%	51%
3/24/2010	-11		31%	42%	48%	52%
3/23/2010	-10		31%	41%	48%	52%
3/22/2010	-12		29%	41%	47%	53%
3/21/2010	-16		26%	42%	45%	54%
3/20/2010	-21		23%	44%	43%	56%

What we have in the above charted polling results is not the whole story. What the people think is one thing, but what the Marxist Media thinks is something quite different. If we are to count the number of stories written about Obama (for and against) and convert those numbers to percentages, we have this revelation: over the past 7 days, there have been 7830 positive articles written or aired by the national media over and against 4234. That converts to an "approval" media rating of 64.9% versus a negative percent of 35.1%. Understand that if the Marxist Media reflected popular concerns, Obama's approval numbers would be well under 40% ---- jds.

Update: is the "bump" over? One day's reporting is not the measure but today's polling is not good for Obama:

Date	Presidential Approval Index		Strongly Approve	Strongly Disapprove	Total Approve	Total Disapprove
3/27/2010	-13		30%	43%	47%	53%

His numbers dropped two full points in a single day - between yesterday and this morning. Understand our claim: if the passing of ForcedObamaCare does not get him in positive numbers, he and his Socialist Democrat Party is headed for hard times -- jds.
