8. True, they were wrong on the election. So what do you think the margin of error is in this poll?

If they are off by 3-4 percentage points, then maybe people approve of Obama on three more of those issues, or at the least it is a toss-up. But on some of the issues, there is no way the could be off by enough to flip the results, is there?

Granted, when only 42% approve of him on gun policy, the ones that disagree could be both those who don't want him to do anything, and those who feel he is not doing enough.

But 39% approval on the economy and 31% on the debt? What are people thinking?
