The questions asked in the poll we are talking about.

1. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as president?

2. 1. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as president?
1A. (IF APPROVE) Do you approve strongly, or only moderately?
1B. (IF DISAPPROVE) Do you disapprove strongly, or only moderately?

3. Do you have more confidence in President Obama or in the Republicans in Congress to deal with the major issues facing the country today?

4. Do you approve or disapprove of the way John Boehner is handling his job as Speaker of the House?

5. Do you think it is good for the country or bad for the country that the Republican Party is in control
of the U.S. House of Representatives?

6. If the two parties can develop bipartisan solutions to the country's problems, which party do you
think should give up more of the proposals it supports -- the Democratic party or the Republican
party?

7. Overall, would you describe the views and policies of each of the following as too extreme, or as
generally mainstream?

8. As you may know, last year Congress and the President agreed to a program to reduce the federal deficit
that some people call the "fiscal cliff." Unless Congress and the President reach an agreement within the
next few weeks, tax rates will automatically rise in January for almost all Americans and major spending
cuts will automatically occur next year in most government spending programs, including military
programs.

If those automatic tax increases and spending cuts occur next year, do you think that would cause a
crisis, major problems, minor problems, or no problems at all for the United States?

9. If congress and the President do not reach an agreement by the end of the year and those automatic
tax increases and spending cuts occur, do you think that Barack Obama or the Republicans in
Congress would be more responsible for that?

Regardless of your political leanings, I find it amazing that the poll claims to represent the majority of Americans, given the numbers stated in the OP:

The CNN/ORC poll surveyed 620 adults by phone between Dec. 17 and Dec. 18, with a 4 percent margin of error.

Isn't that what y'all claimed when you saw the polls that had Obama winning a second term? Go ahead, stick your heads back in the sand and pretend all is ok with the Republican party.

There is not a soul in my circles that think all is OK with the republican party. How is everything with the democrat party?

Seems to me you made similar predictions regarding his chances in the recall election. How'd that one work out for you?

When I took statistics, any poll with a margin of error over 3+/- was getting pretty iffy.

What I'm hearing from some of you is that ANY poll should be thrown out. I'll remember that when you start spouting your Republican polls for the next issues and elections.
