Observing the trend post-implementation will look at how favorability has changed now that people are impacted by the law versus how they viewed it when it was a more abstract concept. There's nothing wrong with what I said.

Um, cherrypicking data would be choosing a single data point as a representation of the data. Looking at the data point in the context of a trend taken in a reasonable time frame, like from the law's implementation to the present, isn't cherrypicking. The more you know ===☆

So, you said you focus only on the last part of it, and now you're saying you're focusing since the time of implementation? Those are two very different ways of looking at it. It's been viewed more negatively than positively since 2010, and it's only started to slightly get better in 2015. There are interesting nuances and patterns in the chart that can tell you a lot more about what's going on, but eh. I question your ability to read such things now.
Don't forget that this is a person who thinks we should all lose our minds if the weather may change .003 degrees in the next century.

Of course he's going to say the law is a great success because the number of people who do not like it dropped by .1% in the past year, never mind that the number of people who still hate the law exceeds the number of people who like the law by 8%. It's still a great success as far as he is concerned.

I love how public opinion is supposed to make a difference in the temperature.

Reviving this thread as I stumbled upon this

Quote:
Iran has carried out a new medium range ballistic missile test in breach of two United Nations Security Council resolutions, a senior U.S. official told Fox News on Monday.

Western intelligence says the test was held Nov. 21 near Chabahar, a port city in southeast Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan Province near the border with Pakistan. The launch took place from a known missile test site along the Gulf of Oman.

The missile, known as a Ghadr-110, has a range of 1,800 – 2000 km, or 1200 miles, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The missile fired in November is an improved version of the Shahab 3, and is similar to the precision guided missile tested by Iran on Oct. 10, which elicited strong condemnation from members of the U.N. Security Council.

“The United States is deeply concerned about Iran's recent ballistic missile launch," Samantha Power, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., said in a statement after the last Iranian ballistic missile test in October.

President Obama mentioned the Iranian missile test during a press conference on Oct. 16 and said the United States was preparing to brief the U.N. sanctions committee. He added that it would not derail the nuclear deal.

"I think what we'll be doing is we'll review, as we have in the past, any violations of U.N. resolutions, and we'll deal with them much as we have in the past," Obama said of the October incident.

A senior administration official told Fox News on Monday the White House
was "aware" of reports of the missile test, but had "no further comment
at this time."

Iran appears to be in a race against the clock to improve the accuracy of its ballistic missile arsenal in the wake of the nuclear agreement signed in July.

One day after Tehran and six world powers signed that nuclear accord, the UN passed resolution 2231, which compels Iran to refrain from any work on ballistic missiles for 8 years. UN Security Council Resolution 1929 was passed in 2010 and bans Iran from conducting ballistic missile tests.

The Security Council is still debating how to respond to Iran's last test in October
