RUSH: The NBC News\/Washington Post poll<\/a>. It is indeed very bad for Obama, but it\u2019s irrelevant. The poll means nothing to Obama. His presidency is not over<\/a>. It\u2019s just getting started. I say this because Obama is operating unilaterally. He doesn\u2019t have to face voters anymore. The lame duck analogy doesn\u2019t apply to Obama. Mostly when a president reaches lame duck status, it\u2019s usually meant to be that he\u2019s powerless. <\/p>\n

<\/a>But that doesn\u2019t apply here to Obama. His lame duck status simply means: The fact that he doesn\u2019t have to face the voters anymore means there\u2019s no reason to hide. There is no reason to camouflage. There\u2019s no reason anymore to pretend to be something that he\u2019s not. So now he\u2019s operating as he is. He is unilaterally behaving. He is not facing the electorate anymore. <\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t have to worry about losing an election, and therefore pandering to the electorate. He\u2019s dismissed Congress. They don\u2019t exist — and they never have, really. So how is it “over”? You know, this is a complete disconnect between popular opinion and his conduct. I think this is really key, folks. There\u2019s a complete disconnect. Popular opinion doesn\u2019t matter, and yet to the media popular opinion is everything, and they don\u2019t get this. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s why they\u2019re not reading it correctly. It\u2019s why they don\u2019t understand… I was gonna say, they don\u2019t know who Obama is. And in some ways, they may not. In other ways they may be applauding all of it. But it ain\u2019t over. This huge disconnect between popular opinion and his conduct is, I think, a very important key. Now, there\u2019s news in this poll that hit me much the way exit polling did in 2012.<\/p>\n

I got the first wave a five o\u2019clock. I told you that when I saw the answers to two questions, I knew the election was over. One of the questions was, “Cares about people like me: Obama 89% to 11% over Romney,” and then I saw that something like “60% still blame Bush for the economy.” I said, “All right, well, this election\u2019s in the tank. It\u2019s gone.” The innards of this poll are the same. <\/line><\/p>\n

For example: “After the Obama administration announced new Environmental Protection Agency regulations,” meaning the 30% reduction of carbon emissions to wipe out the coal industry, 57% of the people in this poll say they approve of that. “Fifty-seven percent approve of a proposal that would require companies to reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming by 30%.” (sigh)<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care what it says about Obama. That\u2019s upsetting. “A combined 61% believe that climate change requires either immediate action to combat it or some action. By contrast, 37% say that the country doesn\u2019t know enough about it or that it\u2019s unwarranted. Now, this is confusing. This is the first poll I\u2019ve seen in a long time where there is a majority of people believing in global warming. Most of the polls on global warming show you that most people don\u2019t even care about it. <\/p>\n

So there are some things to be suspicious of here. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
