TW: Polling is subject to bias, but the reporting of the polls is the source of the most bias. These polls seem pretty straightforward to me. The headlines should be:
1) Obama's support amongst Republicans declines
2) Obama's support amongst Dems and Indies remains very high.
Yet one sees headlines suggesting serious erosion of Obama's support. It will happen in time (i.e. as the market continues to go down) but...not yet.
A blog comment I saw today:
"not only will his popularity continue to slip, but all it will take is one terror attack on american soil and he's finished no matter how he responds. stocks will continue to slide, deficit will continue to skyrocket, poverty and unemployment will force more borrowing by the democrat congress.. it's the 1970s all over again. thank god we have sarah palin waiting in the wings."
Maybe 20% of the folks out there abide this sentiment, regarding terrorism, democrats and my gal Sarah. The polls will reflect their views as well, it is a free country after all.
