Chart: Obama Polls by State
Politics Daily gathered up the latest polls (Rasmussen Reports, whenever possible) and listed them by state. I reviewed the list and put together the chart below. Note that Alaska, Mississippi and Montana are missing — all “red states” in the 2008 election so the trends noted below in the blue states can be logically extrapolated to be similar in nature.
There are some interesting trends to be noted:
- Of the 28 blue states from 2008, only 14 (half!) have a positive approval rating for Obama’s performance as president.
- No 2008 red states have a positive approval rating for Obama, although he did appear to gain some ground in Alabama.
- In the Democrat stronghold of Rhode Island (Obama by 28 points in 2008), Obama’s performance approve/disapprove ratio is deadlocked at 50/50.
- Of the 34 states polled, only two favor keeping Obamacare — Vermont and Hawaii. The rest, including 17 “blue” states, disapprove of it or want to repeal it.
- Of the 26 states polled, only one is opposed to Arizona-like immigration laws.
- The only state in opposed to Arizona-like immigration laws is Hawaii, which does not exactly have illegal aliens and terrorists streaming across the state line.
The chart below has the following columns:
- Name of the state
- Percentage of votes for Obama and McCain respectively in 2008.
- Percentage that disapprove and approve of Obama’s performance.
- Percentage that favor and oppose Arizona-like immigration laws for their state.
- Percentage that favor repealing Health Care “Reform” vs. those that oppose repeal. Note, in some cases the question was worded differently to ask if the person just opposed or supported Obamacare. This was rare and I took it to mean the same.
