Sorry, doesn’t jive.

“As Democrats prepare for considerable losses in the November elections, there’s reason to believe the party in power may not be headed for the bloodbath it might expect. According to a new NEWSWEEK Poll, President Obama’s approval rating—47 percent—indicates that the party is better off this year than Republicans were in 2006, when the GOP lost 30 House seats, and than the Democrats were in 1994, when they lost 52 House seats.

Obama’s approval has fallen 1 percentage point since the last NEWSWEEK survey in June, but the White House has gained ground on several specific issues, specifically his handling of the economy, which has risen to 40 percent (from 38 percent) over the past two months. Voters also generally approve of Obama’s response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the administration’s handling of the war in Iraq, which Obama is expected to address next week from the Oval Office.”

Ok, so I guess Gallup, Rasmussen, and others when average show Obama’s approval a full 6 points lower are the wrong ones and only Newsweak has the pulse eh? Yeah.

Gallup just yesterday had it at 41 in the daily tracking. Of course the poll was run by a liberal think tank, Princeton Survey Research Associates, the same group which fed the media the “majority think Obama’s a muslim” drivel of last week.
