multiple choice
○ who is the source of the polling data?
○ are there other polls that give similar results?
○ a majority of americans approved of president obama throughout his presidency.
○ an overall healthy economy and low unemployment rate may have contributed to obamas majority approval.

Explanation:

Critical thinking involves analyzing, evaluating, and questioning information. The first three options (except the third) involve questioning the source, checking consistency with other polls, or exploring contributing factors—all critical thinking. The option "A majority of Americans approved of President Obama throughout his presidency" is a statement of a supposed fact without analysis or questioning, so it's not critical thinking.

Answer:

C. A majority of Americans approved of President Obama throughout his presidency
