Huh? On Fox News Anti-Obama Day - Gallup - Obama Approval 63%(+1) Disapprove 28% (-1)

[Median Democrat]

I have to say I am kind of surprised. Fox News has been going 24/7 with the crazy in terms of attacking President Obama as a liberal socialistic fascist, as well as promoting tea parties nation wide complete with Fox News Channel hosts acting as emcees, and Obama's approval goes up? What gives?

1. I noticed FUX News was using Politico polls and stats to...

bolster their phony agenda last night on O'Reilly's show, and he even interviewed a Politico hack that acted like he was about to crap himself with gratitude for being allowed on The Factor last night.

Politico has always been suspect to me. Last night was another case of proof positive that they're in the tank of the right wing conservative media.

2. Really?

I expect the tea parties will cause Obama's approval ratings to go up. Seriously, if the teabaggers want to go ahead and remind people what the alternative is, that's fine by me.

3. But he is down 5% since January

*insert fake panic here*

7. Well the end of last week he was at 71% approval rating. n/t

4. If Fox says his approval is 62, it's probably around 70. nt

8. Basically. He was at 70-71% and this was repeated on hardball he has less than

30% disapproval rating.

5. The freepers weren't at home today to click on all the shiny buttons.

6. President Obama is a great president

I'm not surprised.

9. Obama approval is artificially depressed by the South

states he didn't win where his negatives are sky high.

In the states he did win, and swing states he almost carried, he's polling higher.

All you need to do is look at the region-by-region polling to know he's still wildly popular in enough states to be well on track for an even bigger landslide than 2008
