March 30, 2011 - Obama Gets Lowest Approval, Reelect Score Ever, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; More Voters Oppose U.S. Involvement In Libya
American voters disapprove 48 - 42 percent of the job President Barack Obama is doing and say 50 - 41 percent he does not deserve to be re-elected in 2012, both all-time lows,
This compares to a 46 - 46 percent job approval rating and a 45 - 47 percent split on the President's re-election in a March 3 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. In a hypothetical 2012 matchup, President Obama gets 36 percent of the vote to 37 percent for an unnamed Republican challenger.
Democrats approve 80 - 13 percent of the job Obama is doing, but disapproval is 81 - 9 percent among Republicans and 50 - 39 percent among independent voters. Men disapprove 52 - 41 percent while women split 44 - 44 percent.
Voters oppose 47 - 41 percent America's involvement in Libya. In the survey concluded Monday evening as President Obama was addressing the nation about Libya, voters say 58 - 29 percent that he has not clearly stated U.S. goals for Libya.
American voters give conflicting signals about U.S. involvement in Libya:
They approve 53 - 35 percent of using cruise missiles to destroy Libya's air defense; They say 48 - 41 percent the U.S. should not use military force to remove Moammar Gadhafi from power; They say 65 - 27 percent the U.S. should use military force to protect civilians from Gadhafi.
"President Barack Obama's approval numbers are at their lowest level ever, slightly below where they were for most of 2010 before he got a bump up in surveys after the November election and into the early part of this year,"

feel good story. :)
actually not..it’s your neighbors, your kid’s teachers, your police officers and firefighters, your union members, your pastors and much of the congregation, postal clerks, all federal workers, most city workers, most state workers, all editors and 98% of journalists, all day care providers, quite a few nurses, all social workers, all therapists, many of the long term unemployed....etc. etc. Within these groupings there are significant numbers of foreign born and fairly recent immigrants. All of them plus all of them outside these groupings.
The folks you mentioned are not really represented in polls (too much trouble and hard to reach).
You don’t really “get” if you don’t understand your “new” America.
Besides I am not sure what “approval” ratings mean under the dictatorship we now live in. The ratings for our Politburo are even lower, but you are going to vote some of those members are you not?
The Big Boo
Gallup has is approval rating at 45%--way too high it seems to me.
“Im surprised his approval ratings are as high as they are. There must be a lot of dimwitted people in our country.”
