In a blatant attempt to snowball the American public into believing Obama has overwhelming public support for the direction he is taking the country, the AP issued a poll today that is patently FALSE--particularly in the manner in which it is portrayed.
Using Obama's personal approval rating of 64% as a supposed indication that Americans overwhelmingly support his policies, the AP poll failed to show his skyrocketing negative numbers.
In addition, they merely stated that 'a majority' of Americans agree with the direction the country is headed without providing the exact numbers and percentages.
A majority by how much? How many? What is the percentage?
One had to read down to almost the end of the article to discover the exact figures of this supposed 'majority.' And guess what? It's not a majority at all, but only 48 PERCENT!
Not even half of those polled agree with the direction Obama is taking the country, yet the AP reported it as a 'majority.'
Here is the article.
Want to see how Obama is REALLY doing with some accurate polling numbers? Try this!
Obama's negatives stand at 44%. But the real clincher is when you compare those who 'strongly approve' with those who 'strongly disapprove.' In that equation only 6 percentage points separate Obama's positive numbers from his negatives.
Hardly a resounding endorsement from the electorate!

BREAKING AP POLL--IT'S TIED!
In less than 2 weeks before the Election, the Associated Press has released a brand new poll showing a very tight race between John McCain and Barack Obama.
The poll shows the 2 candidates all even with Obama getting 44% and McCain getting 43%--a statistical tie.
Events over the last 48 hours within the 2 campaigns have indicated movement showing the concern of the Obama campaign and the heightened hopes of the McCain campaign.
For example, Pennsylvania's Governor Ed Rendell has become so concerned over what he once thought was a sure bet for Obama that he has called the candidate back to the state in order to 'reassure rural Democrats.'
In other words, Rendell sees signs of trouble. Obama is losing the 'God and guns' vote in the heartland of Pennsylvania. And the foot-in-mouth nutcase, John Murtha, certainly hasn't helped as he has constantly referred to his own constituents as 'racist' and 'redneck.'
It is also interesting that both McCain and Palin have been stumping in the state heavily over the past 2 days and appear to be unusually upbeat.
Meanwhile, in Missouri, another battleground state showing Obama with a comfortable lead, internal polling data supplied by local candidates for local offices show that the major polls may have drastically underestimated the strength and preferences of Missourians who live outside the large metro areas.
Obama is viewed in those areas as pariah.
There is yet another sign of a possible Truman-like surge for McCain. Police squads all across the country have been placed on high alert in order to be prepared for a possible 'Obama loss'... meaning, of course, that should Obama lose, law enforcement officials expect violence in the streets as the thugs, goons, and moonbats go Neanderthal over their failure to steal an election.
