I don't think the poll measures the popularity of the President. I think it measures the stupidity of the American people.

At best it allows an individual to claim he or she is "with" the larger crowd ...

A purpose for them in campaigns is to dry up the money for the other opponent(s) and turn on the "fire hose" for the candidate shown to be the "favorite" in the polls ... So therein lies the value and motive of the "manipulation" ... Now what is one's motive today to cherry pick the highest poll (even though the media outlet is not the HIGHEST in DOMESTIC ratings (CNN can't legitimate count its foreign audience in its comparative ratings).
So a "higher %" of a fewer number of people in the U.S. approves of Obama.
Anyone who picks one poll out of eight is ......."Grasping at straws!"
I hope Michelle doesn't get jealous, because he's coming out of the closet.
