What Bump?

Ten days ago, I wrote about the approval ratings for president Obama. Some on the left were announcing that Obama had resturned himself to the country's good graces with a meteoric rise in his approval ratings. I went through the Rasmussen daily presidential approval poll numbers to point out that there had not, in fact, been any change over time. Well now it is ten days later. We have had the State of the Union address with all of the hoopla that accompanies it. Obama should have gotten his bump in the polls. So where is he? As of this morning, the Rasmussen numbers show 49% approval and 50% disapproval. That compares to a 48-51 split ten days ago. In other words, there is no statistically significant change.

Is anyone truly surprised?
