The Man in Black explains the latest presidential tracking poll

The Barack Obama love that once burned with such red hot passion has cooled and the poll numbers are now plunging down, down, down. Presidential Approval Index rating of -11.

Ahhhh, the love affair is over. The love that once burned with such red hot passion has cooled and the poll numbers are now plunging down, down, down. Johnny Cash explains the results of the latest Rasmussen poll:

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring,
Bound by wild desire,
I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire,
The ring of fire

And now here’s how Rasmussen explains what has happened to The Greatest President In History in more traditional terms:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that only 29% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11. That’s the first time his ratings have reached double digits in negative territory
.
These updates are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. Today is the first update based entirely upon interviews conducted after the President’s prime time televised press conference. The number who Strongly Approve of the President has remained unchanged since the press conference but the number who Strongly Disapprove has gone up by five percentage points (from 35% on Wednesday morning to 40% today).

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve.

He’s going down, down, down and the flames go higher.

64% of Californians say illegal aliens are major strain on state budget, 25% are confirmed idiots

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of California voters shows that just 25% say illegal immigrants are not a major strain on the state budget. Eleven percent (11%) are not sure.

25% of California voters are too damn stupid to be allowed to vote
25% of California voters are too damn stupid to be allowed to vote

Here’s how a new survey from Rasmussen Reports tells the story:

Nearly two-out-of-three California voters (64%) say illegal immigrants put a significant strain on the state budget as lawmakers struggle to close a $26 billion deficit.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of California voters shows that just 25% say illegal immigrants are not a major strain on the state budget. Eleven percent (11%) are not sure.

Here’s a reality check for that 25% who think illegal aliens are not a strain on the budget and for the 11% who aren’t sure:

40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal aliens working without a green card.

95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

There are 21 Spanish language radio stations in Los Angeles.

In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County ).

70% of the United States’ annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) is from illegal aliens.

And finally, less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.

Despite these horrifying stats, 25% of voters think illegal aliens are just fine and dandy. And another 11% don’t have an opinion.

Wake up, you ignorant dunces, wake up.

Time magazine internet survey says unknown college kid is the world’s most influential person

Ellen DeGeneres, John Travolta, Nicolas Sarkozy, Vladimir Putin, Helen Keller and Simon Cowell. Just a few of the unimportant people in the Time Magazine internet poll.
Ellen DeGeneres, John Travolta, Nicolas Sarkozy, Vladimir Putin, Helen Keller and Simon Cowell. Just a few of the unimportant people in the Time Magazine internet poll.
Time Magazine intentionally designed an internet poll to prove that internet polling is stupid. Or they intentionally designed an internet poll to prove that they themselves are stupid. Maybe both.

Here’s how Time describes the results:

In a stunning result, the winner of the third annual TIME 100 poll and new owner of the title World’s Most Influential Person is moot. The 21-year-old college student and founder of the online community 4chan.org, whose real name is Christopher Poole, received 16,794,368 votes and an average influence rating of 90 (out of a possible 100) to handily beat the likes of Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Oprah Winfrey. To put the magnitude of the upset in perspective, it’s worth noting that everyone moot beat out actually has a job.

Time continued:

Undoubtedly, many people will question moot’s worthiness of the title World’s Most Influential Person. TIME.com managing editor Josh Tyrangiel says moot is no less deserving than previous title holders like Nintendo video-game designer Shigeru Miyamoto (2007) and Korean pop star Rain (2006). “I would remind anyone who doubts the results that this is an Internet poll,” he says. “Doubting the results is kind of the point.”

Time’s circulation is plummeting. And they seem to think that the way to reverse that trend is to conduct and promote a poll that they themselves admit is meaningless.

What the hell. It’s an improvement over just plain making crap up.
