Obama More Popular in SC Than DeMint or Graham?

Does not shock me...and it is not saying much for Obama. Graham and Demint suck. But just so you know...it is really hard to say "obama is more popular" when they only asked 837 people. DO you know what the population of this state is? Well over 4 million. So I would say it is not a good snap shot of how the "state" feels about its elected officials.

It certainly does not surprise me! South Carolina is 4th or 5th in the top 10 States with the highest percent of black residents. South Carolina Total Population: 4,107,183 of that 1,185,216 = 28.9% are black residents. So that is to be expected. http://ipoaa.com/us_black_population.htm

Actually you're cherry picking numbers that don't show the whole picture. The fact is that Obama is more WELL KNOWN than either senators. That's no surprise as I continue to believe that most people in this country are ignorant and can't even name their senators and congressman, much less be able to evaluate their actual work. When you compare approval to disapproval ignoring all the people who didn't give an answer both senators actually come out better than Obama. Here's a breakdown of the numbers Approval-Disapproval Percentage who approved based on those who answered Obama 48-40 54.5 Graham 39-32 54.9 DeMint 43-28 60.5 On a side note, I think the number of those who answered is actually a bit high. I've seen polls on Harry Reid where fewer people knew enough about him to give an answer and he's a pretty high profile guy.

Well, let me just answer in the way Linda Douglass answered when asked about the CNN and Fox News polls that showed a 70% and 73% majority of Americans respectively, want the Congress to start over on health care: Well, different polls say different things. I saw another poll that said people feel differently when they understand. People just don't understand, it depends on how you phrase the question. People feel differently when they understand, if we can just explain things so they can understand. Other polls (which I won't name) give different results (which I can't enumerate).

Don't know if I can believe that one. Honestly I live in South Carolina, and the good ol boys opinion of Obama has never been very high down here. Frankly I know some Black folks who don't think too kindly of the man down here. I mean at least where I live and in the surrounding area. Remember, Obama lost the popular vote in this state. With all that being said, it is quite possible that our Senator's public approval rating is just very low. Perhaps this is the case? Or maybe it's a typo? LOl.. I don't know if it is actually possible. That is an astounding fact if it is in fact true.

Well if you believe this poll, I have some beach front property in Arizona that I would love to sell you. I live in South Carolina and can assure you that Winthrop University probably didn't leave their campus to take this survey. And if they did, they did most of the survey in the african-American section of town. The majority of people of South Carolina don't support Obama. Perhaps you should start looking at the Gallop Polls, or a company that is not using college students that have been taught to be liberal to do the polling. Any poll can be slanted. Read the national polls taken by professionals not the liberal BS that comes from liberal institutions. And yes our colleges and universities have become too liberal in the teachings, just check out some national polls on that too.

837 people is hardly representative of the people of South Carolina. This isn't even of "likely" voters, and it is the people who vote that count. Not the ones who probably don't even have a voting card. This is clearly another attempt at trying to make the President look good when the reality is totally different.

I question the pollster and the polling techniques. Let's try a poll from Rasmussen, and then I might concede.
