Do the Polls still speak the truth?

With everything there is a politician and behind that politician there is a poll taker.   When Bush’s approval poll numbers were down, he heard how accurate they were.  When Obama’s poll numbers were up, we heard how accurate they are.  I wonder if the ObamaMedia will begin to change their tune to the accuracy of the polls now that they are taking a turn against their beloved Obama.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 32% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –5.ObamaFallingPolls

In the wake of last week’s disappointing report on job loss…….shows investor confidence falling to the lowest level in three months. The number of investors who say the economy is getting worse jumped from 43% before the jobs report to 51% today.

Ohio, one of the battleground states, is even having some low poll numbers now:

President Obama’s job approval in Ohio has dropped significantly in the last two months, dipping under the 50% mark for the first time, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University. In the last Quinnipiac poll in Ohio taken in early May, Obama enjoyed a healthy 62% job approval rating, with only 31% disapproving. Today, Obama’s job approval stands at 49%, with 44% disapproving – a twenty-five point net drop in just eight weeks.

This reminds me of the lyrics to one of my favorite songs of the 1980’s.  I wonder if this is what the ObamaMedia is feeling right now?

Never had a doubt
In the beginning
Never a doubt
Trusted too true
In the beginning
I loved you right through
Arm in arm we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did

You made me promises, promises
Knowing I’d believe
Promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep

Second time around
I’m still believing
Words that you said
You said you’d always be here
In love forever
Still repeats in my head
You can’t finish what you start
If this is love it breaks my heart

You made me promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe

Arm in arm we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did
You can’t finish what you start
If this is love it breaks my heart

You made me promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe
All of your promises
You knew you’d never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe
