Poll: President Obama still by far the most popular national politician
Posted: Apr 14, 2010
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010 -- 11:15 pm
For all the talk, saber rattling, obstruction and fervent peddling of alternate realities Republicans have engaged in since President Obama took office, one might think they'd be doing a little better in the polls, even if by merely playing the role of a lesser of two evils in the eyes of the masses.
Not quite.
President Obama is still by far the most national politician in the United States, according to a new CNN poll [PDF link] which stacked leading Republicans against the president and asked who respondents would vote for in 2012.
"The poll shows Obama topping Romney 53 percent to 45 percent, beating Huckabee 54 percent to 45 percent, defeating Gingrich 55 percent to 43 percent and topping Palin 55 percent to 42," the network reported.
CNN's survey also claims that half of Americans see Sarah Palin as "honest and trustworthy," although a full 69 percent do not believe she is qualified to be president.

I just don't see how that could be true. - Trigger Happy
[ In Reply To ..]Obama's approval rating is still low. I just don't see how over half of our country would vote for him when so many independents who have voted for him are now stating they made a mistake. I seriously would like to know how they come up with these polls. I've never received a phone call or letter asking me whether or not I'd vote for Obama or any other politician for that matter.
Seriously...does anyone know how they do these polls and this goes for CNN's poll and the Rasmussen, etc. Where do they get their numbers?
I wouldn't take it too seriously. Look where it's coming from - anon
[ In Reply To ..]That would be like posting a story from a far rightwing newspaper saying George Bush was the best and most popular president ever.
It's all in the eye of the beholder.
Facts are that his approval rating is lower than ever (and I believe lower than Carter, or maybe even), along with congresses. We are heading for a depression. We are being severed at the legs and they are putting Band-Aids on the situation. He's not as popular as his worshipers think he is. Read the other countries newspapers about him. It's not favorable.
Rasmussen is about the only poll I trust, but even then I don't always trust it.
But a story from rawstory? Sorry, can we say...not credible...
Based on those low down dirty socialist dogs - over at CNN.

There is NO WAY at this point it can be true.. not believable.nm - Frankly

Maybe in a parallel universe, - but numbers dont lie.
[ In Reply To ..]Here's another number that tells it like it is. The election is almost 7 months away, plenty of time for Obama's opponents ratings to slip behind a long hot summer of the tpot crazies, the GOP's invisible leadership and nonexistent platform, not to mention improved economy...all distinct possibilities.
