Obama Sees a Rebound in His Approval Ratings
New York Times ^ | December 10, 2013 | By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG and ALLISON KOPICKI

President Obama’s approval ratings, which hit his all-time low last month, have returned to where they were before the rollout of the health care law’s enrollment process, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

42 percent of Americans now approve of Mr. Obama’s overall performance, and 50 percent disapprove. That is not exactly good news for the president, but is better than his numbers in mid-November, Then, just 37 percent approved and 57 percent disapproved in a CBS News poll.

“I don’t really put all the blame on the president,” said Pete Brown, 56, a Republican from Edelstein, Ill., who said he disagreed with the health law’s concept. “I mean, Obama isn’t in the day-to-day activities. But he didn’t put the right leadership overseeing it to get it into place. If it was going to be done, then it should have been done well.”

Lise Colgan, 60, a Democrat from Cottage Grove, Ore., who approves of the health law, agreed. “I think the president could have been a little more hands-on with the botched rollout,” she said, “but I don’t blame him for technology failures.”

Several independent voters predicted in interviews that the law would become more popular as more Americans gained benefits through the law.

Republicans on the street must now be as ignorant as the Lefties in these on the street interviews. Sad.

Public schools rock don’t they? We will never recover. And we haven’t even begun to try. It’s us sending our kids off to their halls.

All dumbasses repeat after me, ObamaCare is going to be more popular someday. LOL! Does the Slimes REALLY expect us to believe this BS? This is a DNC talking point!

Could this be any funnier, watching the competing polls, one show him as popular as ever, and the other showing him in free fall over the cliff?

It’s hard to figure out which gives me more joy, watching this illegal alien fail at pretending to have what it takes to be president, or watching the media destroy itself, oblivious to the fact that almost everyone is on to their game by now.

The findings suggest that for Mr. Obama, the political fallout from the website’s start-up might be over.

Yep

Next will be the political fallout from the through-the-roof costs.

Then there will be the political fallout from the doctors that can’t get paid.

Then there will be the political fallout from the majority of American Citizens that can even FIND a doctor because all the doctors quit or left the country.

I just can not wait to see THAT "rebound."
