@112. just passing through:
Oh for God’s sakes, David, you aren’t that stupid.
I’m going to agree with you here, and presume that I can say the same for you.
I’m taking the larger sample – almost 130 million – as a baseline. Your interpretation is 53% approval. Better stated as 53% in expectation of approval as neither candidate was an incumbent.
I’m willing to accept your semantics on that point.
Keep in mind the implications – it is not a 9.5 million movement that translates to 50% approval. It is half that – 4.75.
No problem with your math here so far.
The question you ducked (corrected for clarity):
Do you think that significant numbers people among the 59,930,551 are now changing their minds and supporting Obama based on his performance – or people that were numbered in the 69,438,983 are moving away from supporting Obama based on his performance.
It’s an easy question. You don’t need to defend your answer. Just give it.
First, I didn’t duck the question – I answered it. As I stated above…
“…clearly, some of the 59,930,551 approve of his [Obama's] performance, despite voting for the other guy.”
If you intended to imply that Obama’s approval had dropped to 50% – your theory is not supported by the evidence. Perhaps you interpreted my answer to be evasive based on this false premise? But, for God’s sakes, you aren’t that stupid.
Peace.
