I have to challenge that, Jonathan. The best I have seen is a split, and it's on CNN .
A high approval rating, and voters intending to vote for him again are two very different things.
I did see a poll last week that 70% of the people like him as a person. That 70% was a mix of voters and people that don't or can't vote, though. Is that the poll that you are referring too?
I don't know him personally but perhaps I might like him, too. I would never vote for him, though.
I am pretty sure that most of the people that took part in that poll don't know him personally, either. And if they don't or can't vote, what does that tell you? And what does it matter?

[Edit] I just found this. On the fourth page, it asks the question that if Obama ran again do you think he would win: 44% said he would win, 54% said he would lose.
That is the bottom line question, yet CNN embellished the rest of the survey with worthless questions and decided to call it a split.
This is a good example of why the rest of the world thinks this country likes him as a president.
Funny how the rest of the survey is missing. I have to wonder what the questions were...

It's because conservatism is a dead philosophy. I used to be conservative, back in the day. But the ideas are clearly dead and disproven in the financial disasters of late. Young conservatives are embarassed of their party and are calling themselves independents these days to avoid the assumption they're anti-immigrant, theocratic, racists.

Also, not sure the Civil Rights Act was a bad thing, in fact, I'm pretty sure it was a LANDMARK ACHIEVEMENT. Oh, and prayer in school is obviously unconstitutional and blatantly discriminatory towards atheists/skeptics/free thinkers/religious minorities. If conservatives weren't so myopic, they might notice that their own critique of how the government should stay out of our personal lives (a point we all happen to agree on) means that government shouldn't be promoting religion (thank god Dan Barker and the Freedom From Religion Foundation killed the national day of prayer), or defining marriage, or telling me who I should or shouldn't sleep with. Finally, I don't know what all this "women paid to have kids out of wedlock," nonsense is about, but it sounds to me like a pragmatic way of reducing the number of abortions - another key conservative issue. Otherwise, if you're not going to pay for women to have kids out of wedlock, what do you propose we do? Abort? Even as an atheist I would find that offensive...

We'll see come November, won't we? I'm looking forward to four more years...

I like to use Chrome when posting as it has a built-in spelling checker
I wish phonetic spelling was the norm, though. And how come "phonetic" has to be spelled all weird?
