Talk about Delusional:

“In my opinion Matt Drudge is the most important and influential single figure in American media. In terms of daily and ongoing influence he is more influential than The New York Times, the television networks, cable news or anyone else.

Let me suggest here that Drudge’s power may turn out to be more of a curse than a blessing for Republicans and conservatives because in my view, it fosters delusions that can lead to defeat. Recently a Gallup poll, of course highlighted on Drudge, found that Obama’s numbers had (then) turned more unfavorable than favorable. This has (now) dramatically changed, unreported by Drudge, with Obama’s favorables now well above his unfavorables. The generic Democratic vote is leading the generic Republican vote in the last Gallup congressional election survey.The healthcare bill has passed and the president’s polls have moved up. Democratic numbers have crept up. Media focus on right-wing death threats is alienating political independents and motivating the Democratic base. But readers of Matt Drudge, listeners to Rush Limbaugh and viewers of Glenn Beck are being fed a false dose of Republican triumphalism and a megaphone for what a majority of voters might see as extremism that is both delusional and politically damaging to Republicans.”

Really? Let’s explore those “rising numbers”. First, the president’s polls have NOT moved up in any way. In fact they are worse today than last week.

Gallup daily on the 29th, has his disapproval at 50%, a new high. Rasmussen Reports has his “Strong approval/disapproval” at -13 (It’s note been a positive number since July of last year).

As for those congressional ballot leads, the GOP leads on Real Clear Politics averages by a full percentage point. In the Rasmussen it’s more than a 9 point advantage.

Son, step away from the jug!
