When looking at a poll it is wise to review the internals rather than to simply read abd pass on. The latest set of polling of 2400 people (moe 2%) by Research 2000 but I looked at has Obama at 55% favorable (down from 58% last week and 60% 2 weeks ago). I'm sure this news is encouraging for most of our forum posters. When you go to the internals you might not be so pleased. You will find some stark regional differences: While overall Obama is @55%, in the south he is only 27% but in the rest of the country he is at a still very impressive 68% on average (regional variences from 81% in the NE to 60% in the west)

Other info:

Democrats in congress 40% overall
24% in the south
47% outside the south

Republicans in congress 14% overall
28% in the south
8% outside the south

Democratic party 43% overall
22% in the south
53% outside the south

Republican party 20% overall
46% in the south
13% outside the south

I came across this poll on Pollster.com. It was done by a respected and independant polling firm for the liberal web site Daily Kos so I'm sure that makes it automatically suspect to most of my fellow posters, but if you do as I did and pull up some of their pre election national and state polls you will find their accuracy was well above the norm. Now, I'm not sure what to read into this polling info other than to say it confirms a drop in Obama's stature and that it even more strongly confirms that the GOP is quickly becoming a mostly regional party. Are you guys ready to become the new "Whigs"?
