Approval Ratings

Evening News: Iceland Has a Lezzie PM! WHHHHOOO HOOOOO! « The Confluence: "...Major News outlets are polling Bam’s Approval ratings at 60 percent. But examination of those polls seem to indicate that Democrats are being oversampled. I’ve noticed that Democrats are sampled more than Republicans, and Independents are barely sampled at all. 60 percent isn’t all that good of an approval rating to begin with after 100 days. It is the same as Dubya’s was, and much worse than JFK’s and Reagan’s. But judging by the (likely deliberate) sampling errors in major Opinion Polls, it would appear as though Bam’s approval rating is actually lower than 60 percent.

In other words, Dear Leaders supposedly amazing “Popularity” is, like everything else about him, over rated."
