44% approval in a left-leaning poll of adults means his actual approval rating among likely voters is in the low to mid-thirties. Add to that the structural problems Brak faces in the Electoral College, and you have the makings of a GOP blowout next year.

The 2012 race is ours to lose. Will we?

Voter Discontent Deepens Ahead of Obama Jobs Plan

wth is it that 44% find to approve of???

[sam_paine]

44% of Americans approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing as president,

Some 73% say the country is headed in the wrong direction

W.T.F?!?!?!

[icanhasbailout]

Might even be sub-30 among true LVs. How many people are going to say that the country is going in the wrong direction, but they still like Obama? That kind of cognitive dissonance is hard to sustain.

If the GOP nominates a liberal, who cares who wins?

[GeronL]

They seem to have decided that violent rhetoric will help.

Don’t read too much into these polls.
The Left is included in the polls, as well as the right.
They both are dissatisfied with Obamugabe, but for different, and exactly opposite reasons.
So, if a pollster asks if you are satisfied with the job the president is doing, and you are a left wing lunatic, you say no, because he’s not declared himself absolute dictator-for-life yet.

So don’t think that just because his poll numbers are really low that the left will not still vote for his sorry, lazy tukus for four more years

Listening to the crazy rants of Joe Biden, Debbie Wasserman Schulz, Maxine Waters, James Hoffa, Jr., any objective person in their right mind would come to the conclusion that Obama is toast. And....so.....is most of the Democrat Party!!!! However, we good guys & gals cannot rest for one minute!!! Obama and the Democrat Party must be massively defeated, if not politically destroyed come, November, 2012!!!

The actual poll is here http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/NEWS/A_Politics/_Today_Stories_Teases/Correct_NBCWSJ_poll.pdf

It sample 1000 ADULTS...not likely voters, not registered voters, not even eligible voters...just ADULTS.

Interestingly ONLY 19% claimed the country was going in the right direction.

This poll is DISASTROUS for Obama. 11% of it was African/American, and that is his 90+% base, so that means that, other than blacks, something like 90% of the country thinks Obama has us going in the wrong direction.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Obama hits all-time lows, according to NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wonder what the 44% number actually is when adjusted for reality. 28%?

[Col Frank Slade]

Always fear the GOP’s ability to screw up a golden opportunity.

[freekitty]

If there are any jobs left; he will slash those jobs too.

[kenmcg]

The scary number is 44% approve. That’s a substainial base, of commie, socialists & lazy slobs who will keep these thugs in power. Our work is cut out for us.
