New AP poll:

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Republicans in Congress are handling the economy?

33% approve
59% disapprove

Obama’s handling of the Economy

68% approve
27% disapprove

Atta boy, Republicans! Keep up the crazy talk!

    I just had another pollgasm. Ahhh.

  • idreamofskiba

    That’s around Bush’s approval ratings, isn’t it?

  • gypsy

    i still can not believe 33 percent approve. they have to be the republicans in congress or competely uninformed of what the republicans in congress are doing.

    I think that’s actually 2% below Bush’s last approval rating… Go Repugs!

    No, Gyps. That’s the 33% that will vote Republican no matter what. They’ll vote for Vitter and Craig over any Democrat. Hell, they’d vote for Charles Manson if he had an ‘R’ after his name.

    You should also look at the entire survey for other interesting information. Dems 49 approval 45 disapproval. I would not be bragging yet.

    Last time I went to school, 49 was higher than 45.

    What are the numbers for the GOP? Lets be objective now not just a flaming pile of GOP talking points dog shit.

  • seejane

    You miss the point. Bob does this a lot by giving a little clip of information knowing that most readers will not look further. Like I said, read the entire survey.

    Seejane, please link the survey.

  • Tusz

    There’s a link in the original post. So that we’d get the full context. Also, it’s 49-41. Not overwhelming, but definitely significant. 49-45 is obviously not the correct number, seeing as how 49+45=104%.

    Nevermind, seejane. I’m reading now… Just at a glance, it seems that out of 20+ questions, you chose to highlight the one that was closest in number. And you’re accusing Bob of cherrypicking?

  • seejane

    old math 49 + 45 = 94

    @seejane,did it occur to you that 6% may not know or be undecided?

  • seejane

    The data is listed in the survey information and those fields are indicated. All I am saying is that there is much more to the survey information than what is presented and gave the results of the democrats in congress to supplement the data the Bob gave since he only gave one bit of information. The 49 to 45 just shows that there is also a lot of dissatisfaction towards the dems in congress as well. All I would hope is that when presented with a snippet of information that one would research where the information came from and if it is complete.

    I know the kids are in bed, so I’ll keep this soto voce:Sen. John Cornyn [R-TX] is an unmitigated @$$hole!

    Is this really all this web site is for, bashing republicans? Obama hasn’t been in office for but a month or so, it’s way to early to rely on polls over his approval rating. Give up on the bipartisism bashing you’ll all wasting your time. It’s time we make this “One Country Under God” and not “all democrats under god and republicans can go to hell.” You all act like 2nd graders and Bob cesca is a horrible man to be getting your left wing biased propaganda from.

    “all democrats under god and republicans can go to hell.”Sounds about right to me.

    One Country under the Flying Spaghetti Monster.May you be touched by his noodly appendage.
