I Already Miss Poll Numbers

How the heck does a president-elect have a job approval rating?? He’s not in office yet! Rasmussen claims 52% of Americans approve of Barack Obama’s job performance, the same as his popular vote percentage. Thanks for the update. Money well wasted.

The same poll says 38% of Americans expect a tax hike under President Obama. I guess 33% of them will be pleasantly surprised.

(Either that or a crazy percentage will be absolutely convinced Obama hiked their taxes--even if they really got a tax cut. Never underestimate the Republican rabble’s capacity to outright refuse reality.)
