Liberals Still Overwhelmingly Back Obama

A forthcoming Public Policy Polling survey shows that 85% of liberals actually approve of the job President Obama is doing with just 12% disapproving. In addition, 88% support his health care plan with only 7% opposed.

"Not only are those numbers good, but they're steady. Obama's favor with liberals hasn't been on the decline. In May his approval with liberals was 87/10. In February it was 81/15. In November it was 87/4. Even as his ratings have declined overall he's stayed in that sort of mid-80s range with liberal voters."

Apparently the "professional left" (however you choose to define the term) doesn't speak for Democrats - of any stripe.

Maybe I live in a strange arena..FEW of the "Liberals" and NONE of the Progressives that I know would say they "approve" of the job Obama is doing. I would say the overwhelming emotion is "disappointment", altho not "disapproval".

So perhaps if given a choice of only two, "approve" or "disapprove", they might choose the former. But that is not how they would tell it if given the chance to describe it in their own words.

They may support him publicly and might vote for him in 2012..but actually "approve"?...nahhhhh

for Nixon, so she couldn't believe he won.

Apparently you are the outlier.

:rofl:

and this is highly detached from the world outside.

feel that way?
