Obama Has Been Under 50% Approval For 32 Months

Still underwater...

Obama's ratings suggest we are heading for a potentially very close race in November. For the past 32 months, the full month approval ratings for the president have been remarkably stable, holding to a very narrow range of 44 percent to 49 percent. People seem to have formed an opinion of the president, love him or hate him, and nothing can change their minds. Those who oppose the president tend to feel more strongly about it than those who support him.  

Romney is up 48% - 43% even with the MSM in full campaign mode for him.

In a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup, presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney earns 48% of the vote, while President Obama attracts 43% support. Data released on the first 14 days of April has shown Romney with an advantage five times, Obama with an edge four times and the candidates tied five times.

Lovely.

You Have Been Skewed

By the usual suspects.

The skewed sampling is quite large.

But that’s not the only influence on the new WaPo/ABC poll numbers.  After hiding the partisan composition numbers for the last two months, today’s poll includes that data from the last three presidential polls.  Let’s take a look at the D/R/I series, keeping in mind that the D/R/I from the 2010 midterm elections was 35/35/30

• March: 31/27/36
• February: 34/23/37
• January: 32/25/36

Obama trails even with an 11 point edge.
Lovely.
