We're told that Obama is politically dead, but he polls better than either party in Congress, especially Republicans. How does this reconcile with the dire predictions for election day in three weeks? There are only two real explanations. One is that the pundits are listening to a vocal minority of loudmouths and over-extrapolating. The other is that Americans are schizophrenic.
Either is possible.
Also look at the variation in grades between generic members of Congress (about 1.75) and the respondent's own Congressperson (2.22). It seems to say that we hate pork and spending, unless it gets brought back to my district.
There are also some interesting stats on who likes Obama and who doesn't and it suggests that targeted turnout will be critical in 2012 (duh, I know...).
