Other polls earlier in the week showed an increase in President Obama’s approval rating after the entire right wing decided to go cooko bananas en masse. Now, Gallup is showing a massive 11% swing of approval for the President, increasing from 52 percent approving with 41 percent disapproving to 58 percent approving, with 36 percent disapproving.
Keep at it you insane whackjobs on the right. With your bullying and violent townhall appearances, and your whacky birther conspiracies, you are only helping that which you hate with a passion of a thousand suns. If you right wingers would just accept that a black man and a Democrat is President, and turn to opposing him substantively and sanely, then maybe you will get some traction in your opposition. But then again, with Sarah Palin upping the ante on the crazy with her “Death Panels” comment, it looks like the President will have 70% approval by this time next week.
No one ever said the right wing was smart.
UPDATE: Here is a shocking yet entirely predictable poll result, via Daily Kos:
Republican Party approval rating among Latinos
April 27-30
Favorable 14
Unfavorable 73
No Opinion 13August 3-6
Favorable 3
Unfavorable 86
No Opinion 11The [April poll] is the week that Justice Souter retired, which was soon followed by speculation of Sotomayor’s nomination (she was the frontrunner). That is the reference week. The second is this week.
Republicans were already lagging badly with Latinos, yet somehow, they managed to lose a net 24 favorability points over the course of three months. And for what? To keep the dying 1950s Pat Buchanan-wing of the party happy? Great call, there.
3 PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahaha.
