[Hot Air » Top Picks] As usual, the AP has some interesting results as a consequence of their sample.  When looking at the overall partisan split, the seemingly innocuous D+4 topline (43/39/5?) masks a larger split by distributing independents.  Without independent leaners, the actual sample split is 32/25 for Democrats, with 31% independents.  That +7 overstates Democratic support, which is probably why the AP gets a 49% overall approval rating for Obama (with 50% disapproving) while pollsters like Gallup find approval ratings in the low 40s instead.

[Hot Air » Top Picks] Hot Air » Gallup: Obama hits new low on daily tracking at 42%: Gallup doesn’t provide any written analysis for either measure, but does provide the breakdown in approval by demographic for the weekly results, and it looks devastating.  Obama maintains a majority approval among 18-29YOs, but they’re not necessarily going to turn out in force anyway.  The senior vote will be the most reliable, and Obama hits a new low of 36% among voters 65 and older.  He doesn’t do much better with 50-64YOs at 42%, up just two points from the low for that demo he hit last week.
