This morning Tom Joyner said Obama had a 42% approval rating

I listen to him during my ride in to work.

I'm sorry I didn't get the name of the poll he was citing.

Does anyone here have any info?

3. If Obama is as good a president as we know he is capable of being..

.. he will learn from the poll numbers and realize
that he was not elected by banks and corporations.

4. Seems a bit lower than expected: 47-50% would be more accurate

He has upset a number of the left's left and so it was bound to lower. If he can pass healthcare it will go up...but i fear the reform might be weak so then he ends up getting worst possible hand: the left, independent, and of course the right hate him

5. So this means what exactly (in the grand scheme of things)?

:shrug:

Are the Republicans' approval ratings going up? If not, well, then I'm going to try not to lose any sleep over this.

11. Nothing wrong with that

Sorry if I offended you. I'm just getting annoyed by the corporate media trying to push these job approval poll numbers to undermine President Obama generally and HCR specifically. It is nothing personal towards you.

12. I heard that it is 42% approval on his handling of healthcare.

But 50% overall.
