Obama's polling numbers at Rasmussen are improving. Let's give this 30 days before we panic, shall we ??

This morning, 3/23/10, Hussein Obama signed the Health Care Take Over Bill of 2010. The numbers below do not include opinions following this signing. Just before the passage of the HCTOB of 2010, his Index numbers were at a record low of -21. As of this morning, that negative Index has improved for Obama a startling 11 points and his most likely voter approval numbers have improved 5 points but remain in the negative ( 48%). Obama has thought, all along, that this scenario would be the case. In fact, part of the rhetoric offered to Congressmen worried about voter response to their health care support had to do with predictions of improved public opinion following the passage of the bill. Right now, at this very minute, Obama is sitting in our White House, smoking whatever it is that he smokes now-a-days and laughing as to the accuracy of his forecast. Let's see what happens 30 days from now, shall we ?? The question to be answered is this: are we watching a predictable "bump" in his ratings or a serious upturn in his "positives?" Time will tell, but we must add this caveat: we do not believe the American people are quite as fickle as this upturn will be made to appear --- jds.
