A new Gallup poll shows just how racially divided the country has become over the President. The poll shows a whopping 91% of Blacks supporting Barack Obama as compared to only 36% of Whites.
President Obama’s overall approval rating has stayed below 50% and some polls have him in the 30s. This poll shows him at 45%.
Democrats still like Obama by 79% and liberals are just slightly lower at 75%. The poll would suggest that liberals are not altering their views of the President despite his adoption of many Bush era policies, as discussed earlier.
Gallup shows failing popularity in every other demographic group beyond African-Americans:
57%. Hispanics: 55%. Moderates: 54%. Unmarrieds: 53%. Easterners: 52%. Women: 47%. Midwesterners and Westerners: 45%.
Beyond Whites in general, the worst groups are married citizens at 39% and seniors at 38%.
While the Administration has been trying to appeal to conservatives in various areas, it does not seem to be having an impact. Obama has a 23% popularity among conservatives. For Republicans, it is down to 12%.

Dr. Polar Bear,
I take it that you’re the alter ego of Bdaman.
😉
It’s all good Doc. Believe it or not I use to believe in Global Warming but I started thinking for myself.
If you take a child from a young age and tell him everyday he’s stupid and he will never amount to anything what do you think that child will think when he comes of age?
Bdaman,
I wrote: “I’d like to know how temperatures on Earth are recorded from space!”
Can you provide information on the subject yourself? Do you have an explanation for me?
yes the kiddies do believe in global warming because they have been propagandized in public schools and on Saturday morning cartoons. By people who for the most part cant spell science let alone understand it.
One hour with the truth usually erases 18 years of BS if they have half a brain.
Bdaman:
you are fighting invincible ignorance in some segments of society.
“Voters 18 – 29 prefer democrats by a 62% – 18% margin.”
But of course, it can be no other way.
“If a man is not a socialist in his youth, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 30 he has no head” —

Oh Lucy, jew has sum splainnin to do.
Dr. Polar Bear if you look at the latest poll numbers of believers vs non, no, I never tire.
Bdaman The dems are going to win in California but we are going to lose to your kooks in other races. Your folks will get control of the house. You get to move the clock to the dark ages for a few years, then we will be back in 2012. Young people don’t share your “social values” and they believe in global warming so it will be hard for you to attract them.
Bdaman:
dont you get tired of selling the truth when no one buys?

Swathmore Mom then the Dems should have no problem because I think thats the same age group of most of the unemployed.
Now if they can just get out there and vote for Change They Can Believe In then the Dems will win hands down.

Bdaman,
Satellite data for temperatures???
I’d like to know how temperatures on Earth are recorded from space!
Did the Climate Change after the Ice Age?
Did the Climate Change after the Mini Ice Age?
Did the Climate Change after the Medieval Warming Period?
Did the Climate Change after Obama got elected?
Lets all remember that at first it was Global Warming, the more CO2 that is put in the Atmosphere the hotter it will get.
Then came Climate Change, the more CO2 you put in the air the more the climate will change hot and cold.
Now Holdren changes the name again to, get this, Global Climate Disruption.
Why do they continue to change the name? Cause they just can’t sell the idea. It’s like Restaurant Under New Management on the marquee.
Ms. Elaine look up Urban Heat Island Effect.

The only data for temperatures that is not skewed is the satellite data. Unfortunately this only goes back 30 years. When the media touts something like Hottest on Record, those records only go back approximately 150 years. Thermometers were not as accurate back then as they are today but today the data is skewed when they place the recording device against an Air conditioner, in an asphalt parking lot, in a concrete parking lot, on a side of a brick building facing the sun, on top of a roof, on and on and on.
When someone hears hottest on record it’s like, oh my, the earth has never been hotter. Don’t believe the Hype.
Blouise, yes, so far so good but we still have October and November to go. The next threat to the U.S. will come in about ten days as the Global Models are showing development in the SW Caribbean around this time. Still to far out to have any real confidence in the latest model runs but I can guarantee there will be a Paula now that we have Otto today and a Richard before October is finished. Thank you for your well wishes and also to you.

Nice distraction! Too hot here?
mespo727272:
I would ask you why you believe that human activity is the cause and why you think that warming is not necessarily part of a never ending cycle. If you note what I wrote I am implying that very fact by saying my hair changes over many seasons from thick to thin depending on the severity of the winters. This bear is not denying climate change, it is inevitable considering the earth had a snowball period and a hot house period when dinosaurs lived and your states in the center of your country were seas.
My natural history is a bit shaky since I am only a dumb animal, but I don’t believe there were coal fired power plants during the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods. I also think the sun may have a little something to do with climate change since it powers our earth. Don’t you think that big orange glowing ball in the sky has some “small” impact on temperature? Just look at the difference caused by a slight change in the angle-summer to winter and a drop of almost 60 degrees
in temperate regions, say Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, well you get the idea.
Seems to me the same logic is being applied to global warming.
Mike-it’s 25 degrees now in December.
Phil- it’s 90 degrees now in July
Mike-that certainly means it must be from carbon emissions caused by man. there is no other explanation.
And I am a member of the “Flat Earth Society”?

This summer really was hotter than others
(9/9/2010)
By Doyle Rice, USA TODAY
http://www.usatoday.com/weather/climate/2010-09-08-record-summer-heat-_N.htm
The intense heat this summer wasn’t a mirage for the tens of millions of people in the eastern and southern USA. Every state east of the Mississippi River recorded one of its 10 warmest summers since records began, according to the National Climatic Data Center.
Extreme warmth dominated much of the East and Southeast, where 10 states experienced record-warm summers: Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.

National Overview:
The weather pattern for August 2010 was a continuation of the pattern which has dominated this summer. The North Atlantic high pressure system held sway over much of the eastern and southern United States, bringing sunny skies and much above-normal temperatures, while dips — or troughs — in the upper-level jet stream kept above-normal temperatures from dominating much of the U.S. Hundreds of daily maximum temperature records were tied or broken at individual stations, while over 6,000 daily records were tied or broken for warmest daily minimum temperature during August 2010, with the month ranking in the top ten warmest category for several Great Lakes and southern states.
*****
Summer (June through August) and Year-to-Date
• Nationally, it was the fourth warmest summer on record.
• Three climate regions had top-five warm summers: the Southeast (warmest), the Central (3rd warmest) and the Northeast (4th warmest).
• Abnormal warmth dominated the much of the East, where ten states experienced record-warm summers: Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. Nineteen other states experienced average temperatures classified as “much above normal”.
• Several cities broke summer temperature records, including: New York (Central Park), NY; Philadelphia, PA; Trenton, NJ; Wilmington, DE; Tallahassee, FL (ties 1998); and Asheville, NC.
• The Northeast climate region experienced its warmest January-August period with an average temperature more than 3.4 degrees F above the long term average.
• Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey each had their warmest year-to-date period. All Northeastern states ranked among their warmest ten percent of the record. Only Florida and Texas had below-normal temperatures for the period.
Bdaman,
“P.S The NE U.S. same, no summer”
Oh, really??? I must have been imagining that terrible heat wave we had this summer. I guess I really didn’t have to run my bedroom air conditioner for days and days and days–many more than I had to in recent years. I thought we had a really warm summer. Silly me!
