Forty-four percent of college students approve of the job President Obama is doing, according to a new Associated Press-mtvU poll released on Wednesday, with 27 percent saying they were unhappy with his performance. The numbers are a sharp drop from the 60 percent who approved of the president’s performance in a May 2009 poll, following national trends. The poll shows that Democrats might be struggling to maintain the support of people ages 18 to 24, an important voting bloc for Democrats in 2008.

Approval and support mean two different things. I can disapprove of what the President has done so far and still support him. I think you (and the AP) are conflating things. Just because folks don’t like everything he’s doing, doesn’t mean they’ll vote GOP in November.

As usual, we want to know how the future is going to turn out, and we continue our idiotic, age-old practice of appointing prophets to tell us the future. Never mind that it’s never worked and never will.
I’m amazed at the inefficiency of our masters. For some reason they don’t quite dare to simply stop counting the votes. In a couple weeks or so there’s going to be an election. Right now a flock of prognosticators is gibbering about what’s going to happen.
Nuts. Nobody knows. If pundits were held accountable for their predictions, there’d be plenty of job openings.
