4. MSNBC was quoting him at 39% up from 38%......

I'm not sure who ran the poll though. They claimed it was the "newest" poll numbers, just out this morning.

11. I also found this - they're linked to National Journal

Diageo/Hotline Poll: Same Poll, New Name

The latest poll is out from National Journal's Hotline, although now with a new sponsor and two new names: The Diageo/Hotline poll conducted by Financial Dynamics. The pollster of record is still Ed Reilly, although his company Westhill Partners was recently acquired by Financial Dynamics. So same pollster, different names.

8. Utterly Prespoterous

There is absolutely no way this is correct. A bounce this big has never been experienced by any president. (Excepting maybe Silverspoon after 9/11, and he sure didn't deserve that.)

12. Interesting

but just an isolated incident. Maybe they have a higher freeper-to-human ratio than most.

13. I think the statistic you're quoting

is his approval among those who supported him in the last election. And of that number, 50% approve of the job he's doing. This blog is a little sketchy.
