Obama approval polls
Added 210 days ago on February 8th, 2010
Real Clear Politics publishes polls and columns. A major poll is Obama's approval rate amoung Americans. The Gallup Poll shows results that are outside of the norms and hard to account for.In FEB Rasmussen & Gallup published the same poll over the same time Gallup had Obama's approval 5 points higher and his disapproval 13 points lower than Rasmussen. Today two new polls,on the same question, were released. Gallup's approval is 4 to 7 points higher and the disapproval is 4 points lower than these polls.Gallup's results have consistently been better for Obama that all other polls. Questions are being asked how this can always happen without Gallup doing something to impact the poll results.

Good Try, Gallup is a very reputable organization.
If you follow the link, the polls are for the same time and for about the same number of people. Approval between Gallup & Rasumessen is 51 to 46, off by 5 and can be covered by you statement. However, disapprove is 54 to 41, a full 13 points. That has to be a sampling problem with one of the polls.
The two newest polls have disapprove at 47, 6 points different than Rasumessen. If we give Gallup 5 points on approval ......
The 4 to 13 point disserence on disapprove is questionable to say the least and dishonest at worst..
ACORN is umportant to the De mocrats for the voter fraud they do. That is why, Pelosi & Obama gave them so much tax money in the "stimlus".

Gallup has disapproval at 41 Rasumessen has it at 54, isn't that 13 points?
Gallup has approval at 51, the two new polls are 44 & 47, isn't that 4 to 7 points?
The four polls we are looking at are 3 days apart, not a week as you imply.
