President's Approval in the Tank and Sinking
Constitutional Guardian ^ | 2/21/2010 | Nancy Tengler

Posted on 02/21/2010 7:33:29 AM PST by timesthattrymenssouls

So the Rasmussen poll now has the President's Approval Index rating at -19% with 22% of the nation's voters strongly approving of his performance and 41% strongly disapproving. The overall numbers are 45% approval, 54% disapproval. Rasmussen reports the Approval Index rating is at the lowest level seen only one other time in this presidency: December 22, the eve of the last health care push in the Senate; pre-Scott Brown.

According to Rasmussen, only 39% support the President's health care plan, 58% are opposed. Still he plans to unveil it tomorrow. In front of the cameras (finally).

It will be interesting to see what the polls look like next week. Eventually, even the ideologically bankrupt may get tired of being lectured to by this President. We can only HOPE.

These 22% represent the permanently stupid/lazy citizens of the US.

I wonder why the entire committee process was ignored in crafting Obama’s commie-care?

Consent of the governed gets in the way of tyrant wanna-bees.

He is toast. Now watch very closely. When his “Death Care” gets shot down, he will get dangerous. Count on it.

Yep and it may be considered mean spirited by some, but it is the gawd awful truth!

It's depressing to think that almost a quarter of our population is brain-dead stupid.

Not sinking fast enough for me. I want to see his approval numbers at around 10 percent approval.

And, unfortunately, 95% of blacks who follow “preachers” like Jeremiah Wright and his marxist/racist/anti-American preachings.

Ol’ Joe Biden’s remarks are haunting - IMHO he was alluding to financial takeovers - not a foreign military crisis.

“And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

I'm surprised it's not more than that. With our exemplary school systems and all.

His numbers are going lower than a dry well.

No doubt, he will continue to plumb the depths of that dry hole anyway.

President’s Approval in the Tank and Sinking or as liberals would call it Obama takes another direction.

His job approval numbers improved (for him) slightly in February, but now seem to be trending down to where he is flirting with new record lows. There is an old saying that even a dead cat will bounce. You can only manipulate economic numbers for so long before everyone realizes that you are lying.
