from Joe Madison at Facebook:


Quinnipiac, the pollster said survey found Pres. Obama is worse president since WWII. Well, someone responded. What do you think?


Open letter to Quinnipiac:

Quinnipiac you bastards.

Obama the worst President? Hardly!!!.

Obama caught the Times Square Bomber in 52 hours; you bastards.
Obama caught the Boston Marathon Bombers in less that 10 days; you bastards.

Obama caught Bin Laden in 2 years; something Bush could not do in 8; you bastards.

Obama caught the Benghazi attackers in 2 years; you bastards.

Obama got rid of Gaddaffi without one loss of American life; you bastards; it took Bush $3 Trillion to get rid of Saddam; and 4000 American lives.

Obama got rid of Sarin, GB, VX in Syria without firing a shot; you bastards.

Obama has 50 plus months of private sector job growth; you bastards.

The damned stock market is within 1000 points of tripling under Obama since the March 8, 2009 low; that means $3000 is now worth $9000; $30,000 is now worth $90,000; $90,000 is worth $270,000; $270,000 is now worth $810,000; $30 billion is now worth $90 billion; you bastards.

Corporate profits are at record highs under Obama; you bastards.
Obama has 50 plus months without a double dip recession; you bastards.

Obama has given us 9 million new jobs; you bastards.

Inflation is at or below the Fed's 2% for 50 plus months; under Obama; which means borrowing costs are low and cities, counties and states can borrow at low rates for capital projects; you bastards.

Obama has given 8 million Americans Healthcare; Bush = 0; Bush II =0; Reagan =0; Ford=0; Nixon =0

By any measure Obama is the best President since Kennedy; all while getting unprecedented obstruction from Boehner, McConnell, and the "Hate Obama First Crowd;" you bastards.

Do a poll on that crowd that said they would deny Obama any victory the very night of the 2008 Inaugural Ball. You never heard of that did you Quinnipiac? Sure, you didn't you bastards. Now you have, so do it.

We black people and white people of good will are shaking with rage as you try and smear this President; and we are not going to stand for it. We are tired of being nice as you and Boehner crap on our President.

Quinnipiac, we know that you rated in the bottom half of polls during the 2012 Presidential Polls; hardly a reliable source.

1. Wow. K&R. Righteous rant. n/t

[onecaliberal]

2. Exactly

Love it!

[NaturalHigh]

3. I don't quite understand the anger at Quinnipac.

Shouldn't you be directing your anger at the people who responded to the poll and apparently don't agree that "By any measure Obama is the best President since Kennedy"?

[herding cats]

9. I suppose that depends on the demographics of those they chose to poll. nt

[sheshe2]

4. Boom!

I be loving this rant!

thanks bigtree~

[90-percent]

5. What the Poll results tell me

that the never ending obstruction and sabotage of anything Obama is working quite well in the perceptions of America's great sea of low information voters.

And the Republicans are destroying the bottom 99% and America's future just to make Obama a one term President.

Sorry, folks, our food stamp President just can't get the welfare checks flowing fast enough to satisfy all of us moochers, thanks to the great sabotaging of all he's tried to do for us the last six years

-90% Jimmy

6. Maybe the economy?

Perhaps that's the reason for the numbers. I work in social services, SNAP, Medicaid, A LOT of people are still having bad economic times.

[JDPriestly]

20. Yes. It's the economy, stupid.

The stock market numbers do not mean a thing. Wages are rising only very slowly. Since 1970 real wages have declined. The number of jobs has increased, but the jobs don't pay that well and are often only part-time.

Meanwhile prices for the things that most people need - things from medications to food to day care -- have all risen. So the people polled, or many of them, feel in a squeeze. That's what we who support Elizabeth Warren keep pointing out.

Obama is great on foreign policy, but the NSA is still snooping on us, and the economy is improving mostly for the rich. So, of course, Obama gets blamed.

10. misdirected criticism

Madison doesn't appear to be the author of the rant.

[pansypoo53219]

8. i blame teevee gnewz.

no perspective.

[russspeakeasy]

11. Excellent post. Thanks.

[cheapdate]

12. Right on!

[spanone]

13. k&r...

[DeSwiss]

15. Bears in the woods......

...won't wipe their asses on a Quinnipiac poll.

- Nuff said.....

K&R

[mwrguy]

16. Obama is the best president of the last 50 years

Fuck the pollsters.

[Cha]

17. According to whom, Quinnipiac(ya stupid bastids)?.. 50 First Term Accomplishments..

Mucho Mas..
TOD

mahalo bigtree

[Iliyah]

18. cbs and yahoo. . .

they loved it - media run by $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$44

[MannyGoldstein]

19. Shit! I should have gone and said "hi"!

Sounds like the President was a mile from my house when the Bomber Brothers made their last stand in Watertown.

Who knew?

Was the President packin' that day?

[Nye Bevan]

21. How DARE Quinnipiac ask people their opinions and report the results.

Obviously when people respond with the "wrong" answers, like in this case, the poll results should simply be trashed, and not reported.

Bastards.

[Divernan]

22. But y'all LUV Quinnipiac when its polls report support for Hillary!?!

As I have painstakingly documented below, Quinnipiac enjoys a national reputation as the most accurate of the major pollsters. I can NOT believe that the level of political awareness and sophistication on DU has sunk to the level that a nationally respected pollster is trashed because a poll gives results some do not like to hear. In point of fact, this poll on the opinion of Obama's performance gives us Democrats a valuable insight as to how he is perceived. You can't have it both ways - trash a pollster when you don't like the results of one poll and then crow about and flaunt the results when they favor your candidate. Get your fingers out of your ears, your heads out of the sand, remove your hands from your eyes, and grow the hell up!

July 8, 2014 - Clinton Owns Dem 2016 Nod; Tops Top Republicans, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; 2014 Generic House Race Tied, But Voters Hate Dems Less
PDF format

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sweeps the Democratic primary field for the 2016 presidential race, taking 58 percent of the vote, and tops several possible Republican candidates by margins of 7 to 9 percentage points, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.

There is no front-runner in the Republican presidential primary field, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.

Secretary Clinton leads the Democratic primary with 58 percent, followed by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts with 11 percent, Vice President Joseph Biden with 9 percent and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo with 4 percent. No other candidate tops 1 percent and 15 percent are undecided.

From Wikipedia: The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute is a public opinion polling center based at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. It surveys public opinion in Connecticut, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, and nationally.[2]

It is considerably larger than other academic polling centers, including the Franklin & Marshall College Poll, which only surveys Pennsylvania.[1] The organization employs about 160 work-study students as interviewers, generally drawing from political science, communications, psychology, and sociology majors, as well as some interviewers that are not affiliated with the university.[1] The poll has a full-time staff of ten.[1] The university does not disclose the Institute's operating budget, and the poll does not accept clients or outside funding.[1]

In 2007, the institute underwent construction of a new two-story building that was expected to double its available capacity to 160 calling cubicles.[1] The purpose of the capacity expansion was to allow the institute to poll multiple states at once, rectifying a problem that arose during the 2006 Connecticut Senate election where other polls were canceled to support that poll.[1]

The poll has been cited by major news outlets throughout North America and Europe, including The Washington Post,[5] Fox News,[6] USA Today,[7] The New York Times,[8] CNN,[9] and Reuters.[10] Quinnipiac's Polling Institute receives national recognition for its independent surveys of residents throughout the United States. It conducts public opinion polls on politics and public policy as a public service as well as for academic research.[1][3] Andrew S. Tanenbaum, the founder of the poll-analysis website Electoral-vote.com, compared major pollsters' performances in the 2010 midterm Senate elections and concluded that Quinnipiac was the most accurate, with a mean error of 2.0 percent.[11]
