RUSH: Let me tell you something. The Washington Post, ABC — I think it\u2019s them — they had a poll out today that shows Obama\u2019s approval numbers are coming back. And I want to remind you that I have warned you this kind of thing is going to happen. The unemployment number is going to precipitously drop and it\u2019s going to get close to 8% by next November. Just mark my words. That\u2019s in the can. It\u2019s in the cards. Also, Obama\u2019s approval number now is up five points over the last three months or some such thing. Not sure of the time frame, but it\u2019s up the highest since last summer, and this is being heralded. Now, clearly, if you go through, if you look at the story reporting this, you find that there is still overwhelming disapproval with Obama\u2019s policies, profound disapproval of his policies, but his overall job approval number is up five points. <\/p>\n
Now there\u2019s a story that they have been leaked a couple of times to staffers for the North Carolina governor. It is said that the purpose of this is to allow her to craft a press release in advance of the numbers that would be favorable to her somehow. It\u2019s not that she has any influence over the numbers, it\u2019s not that the numbers are illegitimate, it\u2019s just that she\u2019s given advance notion of them. It also happened when Bush was president, happened in 2007, so it\u2019s assumed that it\u2019s not a political appointee, that it\u2019s somebody in there that has Democrat leanings that\u2019s been there for a while. My only point in bringing this up is that while they have this august reputation and this holier-than-thou clean and pure as the wind-driven snow reputation, we find out now that somebody in there is accused of leaking numbers to the North Carolina governor. <\/p>\n

The RNC was seeking device from Tarrance, and they do this with a lot of polling groups, on how best to go after Obama. And this was the group that said, “Don\u2019t go after him personally. Don\u2019t be critical of Obama. Don\u2019t do that, he\u2019s loved, he\u2019s liked, he\u2019s adored, people even feel sorry for him,” remember that? So here we go, approval numbers up. Disapproval of his overall policies, though, very strong, but his personal approval numbers are up, and so it\u2019s gonna given credence, the Republican Party thinking that they have to go at Obama with kid gloves. So I\u2019m just warning you now not to get dispirited. I\u2019m warning you now not to think that the actual emotion or passion for changing course, defeating Obama, repealing Obamacare it is ratcheting up. It\u2019s not weakening. It\u2019s not tiring. It\u2019s not getting lazy. People are not giving up, but you are not gonna see that evidenced.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re not gonna see evidence of that passion or energy that you have and that your fellow citizens have for change. You\u2019re not gonna see it. What you\u2019re instead going to be told is that, “Wow, look at Obama\u2019s approval numbers, wow. And unemployment, look at the number, coming down, oh, it\u2019s all coming together.” That\u2019s gonna be combined with Obama as he\u2019s saying now, as I predicted he would say, “It\u2019s worse than we thought it was. They didn\u2019t tell us how bad it was. But we can\u2019t change the horse in the middle of the stream.” The thing to add to this now is that Axelrod is out there accusing the Republicans of sabotaging the economy in order to get Obama. <\/p>\n
That Washington Post\/ABC Obama poll, by the way, they oversample Democrats and independents absurdly, in order to get Obama up five points, Democrats 32%, Republicans in the poll 25%, Independents 37%. So the sample group, Democrats and independents, widely out of proportion to reality. Now, this Axelrod thing, as you will hear, as the program unfolds, last summer I believe it was, there was a piece by a blogger in the Washington Post named Greg Sargent. And I predicted after reading this piece to you, and I\u2019ve got the transcript here, that they would accuse the Republicans of sabotaging the economy. I made this prediction last summer, and Axelrod did it yesterday, continued today, and, by the way, brought back that quote about Newt, the higher the monkey climbs on a pole, the more of his butt you see. He\u2019s using that now a second time. <\/p>\n
Yeah, the Washington Post is claiming there are more independents, registered independents in America than there are Republicans and Democrats, 37% independent, 32% Democrat, and only 25% of Republicans were sampled in the Washington Post poll. So I\u2019m just warning you again and again, don\u2019t get dispirited. That\u2019s gonna be the primary purpose of the Drive-By Media from here on out. When they talk up Ron Paul in Iowa, that\u2019s to dispirit you. When they talk up Ron Paul, when they talk about maybe somebody going third party, that is to dispirit you. That\u2019s all they got, folks. They can\u2019t tout Obama\u2019s virtues. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
