I wonder if his ego will be shattered when he sees that 36% of the poll takers gave him an F.
-
As the poll shows, you either really love him, or really hate him.

I'm more intrigued by the fact that despite him promising to bring the country together, at least MSNBC's surfers are really polorized. Either people love him or hate him, there's not a whole lot of middle ground.

3 million responses?
Not scientific, indeed.

No, the results are not statistically significant as an indication of the feelings of the entire country.
However, it is socially significant to see that the vast majority of those bothering to vote are statistically evenly split between giving an A and giving an F. Further, those who are willing to enter the middle ground (B, C or D) are statistically insignificant among those bothering to vote. Yes, either you love him or hate him.
What remains to be seen is how many more will join the ranks of those who hate him, and how soon they join that cohort. My money is on the ranks swelling sooner rather than later, and that once joining they will not swing from the far end of the bell curve.
stay safe.

Well, if the numbers reflect the nation as a whole, it is going to be rather difficult to govern if you are seen as an "F" by 40 per cent of the electorate. I'd call that a recipe for major trouble.

Right now it's F - 39% and A-36%.
This poll may be non-scientific, but it ain't looking good for Obama.

Meh, Bush did it. And that was largely caused by the media blaming everything up to and including your dog being ran over last night on him.

The differences between online surveys and scientific polls
One week in the middle of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, more than 200,000 people took part in an msnbc.com Live Vote that asked whether President Clinton should leave office. Seventy-three percent said yes. That same week, an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found that only 34 percent of about 2,000 people who were surveyed thought so.
More recently, in an msnbc.com survey conducted after a televised debate in the run-up to the New Hampshire primary, when asked “Who stood out from the pack?” 76 percent of the more than 55,000 people who responded chose Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.
This indicated strong support for Paul among msnbc.com readers.
Hmm. It would seem to me to show strong support for Paul among Paul supporters who found a link to the survey...
