As with a few days ago, Gallup is showing Obama above water in job approval (48/44).
GALLUP DAILY
In
February, the President had an average job approval of 45% in Gallup's polling. This is getting close to the putatively magical level of 46% that Selzer finds so important.
Even Gallup admits, however, that the Republican candidates are less popular than the supposedly "hated tyrant" Obama. We have had several months now of exposure to the Republican field, and a primary campaign that has been heavily covered by the media since January. If anything, the Republicans have become even less popular with increased exposure. Even match-ups with generic Republican candidates aren't giving rosy results for the GOP any more. PPP's last weekly survey showed Obama ahead of the generic Republican 48/45. Even the last generic Congressional ballot from PPP showed Democrats and Republicans breaking even 44/44 in a match-up. Where is this huge Republican advantage, if it's still 2010 in the minds of the wingnuts?
