I liked the -14 better.

I still have hopes Teddy will take him for a drive over the bridge.

Obama’s ticking up. He’ll be in positive territory just in time to make a final push for ObamaCare in the senate. Axelrod will likely orchestrate a “miraculous” appearance by Ted Kennedy to cast the deciding vote to sink our country once and for all.

Is it just my perspective, or do his numbers seem to tick up when he absents himself from the public arena and shuts the he** up?

No we’ve reached the tipping point. It will be double digits from here on out, unless he totally stays out of the public eye.

I was thinking that, too.

If I was looking at this like a stock market chart I would say we have broken a resistance point. His negatives are staying up in the 40 range, and that means more and more people are becoming comfortable saying the don't like the president. There was a feeling in the beginning that if you said you wanted him to fail you were being unpatriotic or some such. Now that he has failed, it is OK to point it out.

I rarely watch the MSM TV stations but I can not recall this poll, Presidental Tracking, being presented. Anyone else seen it or similar on NBCABCCBS and affiliates?

Rasmussen and Zogby are on all the time. Rasmussen more so on Fox. Zogby tends to be more to the left. Rasmussen if I’m not mistaken gives a three day running average?

If he would just resign his poll numbers would skyrocket.

Since Obozo wants to be liked, resigning would bump him up.

Yes. I agree with you.

I also think that it’s harder for even his followers to say the are “Strongly Approving” his job.

I mean, I was a pretty much die-hard Bush fan even to the end, but if I were polled in 2008 I don’t think I would have said that I “Strongly Approve” his job.

I think from here on out he will be getting 40% negatives every day, and approvals in the high 20s. So he’ll be in double digits here on out baring some man-made crisis.

For me the last straw was the Ramadan thing...I think that soured alot of people.

Now you got the CIA thing, and this means that behind the scenes there are going to be operatives trying to undermine this presidency because we ALL know where this guy wants to take us.

It’s about him. It’s about power. He has no other knowledge of running an office only the community organizing agendas.

He bamboozled the flaky left out there. We put up a horsesh*t candidate.

It reminded me of Jerry Ford, and how mad I was that Reagan didn’t get the nod in 1976.

If you've noticed, the media has generally stopped referring to him as the "wildly popular" or "extremely popular" President. They're using descriptives like "embattled" and "with popularity/approval ratings slipping" more and more.

Watch the media for the first "mainstream" source to call him an 'unpopular' President. Once that happens, the dam will burst.

The only thing the media loves more than Obama is their own ability to "take down" someone in power. They'll turn on him in a heartbeat if they sense he's become a liability.

It's not your imagination. That's why Stephanopolos told him to stay gone for two weeks. But he can't hide forever...

Forgot to mention in my last post - if you disbelieve about the media ever turning on Obama, just remember how they utterly eviscerated Howard Dean after the famous “Dean Scream.” He was the absolute darling of the media up until that moment. They then sensed that they could take him down, and within 48 hours, his campaign was effectively finished.

The problem is that even if he stays hidden Holder, Nancy, Barney or one of his other sycophants will say something stupid and get him in trouble. It won't be long before Hillery starts to sabotage him. And all Gov Palin has to do is drop a line on Facebook and he is yanked out of whatever bunker he has hidden himself in.

My Mom finally admitted yesterday that she’s fed up with Obama (she’s been a Dem all her life). What pushed her over the edge? No Social Security increase for the next two years, and medicaid going up! A LOT of seniors are starting to wake up to this joker. I just wish she’d had a computer last year as I would have sent her TONS of info on all his connections. I tried to tell her, but sometimes you have to learn on your own. Took a lot for her to admit I was right.

Sorry to disagree with you but the trend is your friend, and Obama is trending down.

Negetive 15 is not too far away both in terms of the numberand the days to get there.
