In another sign of President Obama's deteriorating public support, more than half of Americans now say that he is failing as president, the latest IBD/TIPP poll finds.

The poll, which ended Friday, found that 53% characterize Obama's presidency as a failure vs. 41% who rate it a success. Just 6% say that they aren't sure.

Obama's standing among independents is even worse, with 58% calling his presidency is a failure. Half of those who live in states that voted for Obama say that his presidency is failing.

Obola intends to murder, by BIOWARFARE and IS,
any American who does not swear an Oath to HIM.

It doesn't matter what the American people think about anything anymore.

[C. Edmund Wright]

41% say it’s a success?
Sheesh.

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

and all of this destruction of the American life style is considered “Moving Forward”? who knew that thanks to Obama that every newborn is already one million in debt?

[Theodore R.]

This 41 percent is the real majority of the hapless Amerikan people, who are too uninformed to assert their role as the “majority”.

[Theodore R.]

It doesn't matter what the American people think about anything anymore.

Absolutely, but the Amerikan people are too uninformed to think about much of anything.

41% is a pretty small number when you only survey 10 people. If the presidential elections were held today, my guess is he would fare far worse, even with the low information voters. Those who still think he is doing such a great job got all “dat free sh$t”.

41% who rate it a success.

Truly stunning. We are on a knife's edge and staring into the abyss.

[Michigander222]

41%. Just can’t accept that they were wrong twice!

[Cboldt]

I bet some of those who said Obama’s presidency has been a failure, reach that point of view because Obama hasn’t implemented full-blown communism yet.

In this campaign cycle, I cannot think of ONE THING the 'pubs, conservative or RINO, are saying that they'd do differently. They keep yapping about the need to have majorities, but don't spell out what would be different. In fact, they keep telling us about stuff that will be the same...like funding the Obama budget. We've RINOs caving on every constitutional conservative issue telling us they want more power.

Without a clear reason to vote for the alternative, voters won't switch sides if we think it's more of the same. One thing us little folk across the political spectrum can agree on is the DC crowd only represents itself.

I would say that he succeeded in what he set out to accomplish

Some Democrats might whine about Obama, but come 2016, they'll vote for Hillary because she's a woman. These voters never learn. They're more interested in voting for the “first” — in 2008 it was for the first black president. In 2016, it will be for the first woman president. These voters don't care whether a candidate is qualified for the job. It's all about being a part of history.

Of course, any candidate who promises free stuff always gets the votes.

Your right, it does not matter. He has a pen and does what he wants, regardless of law. The Supreme Court and lower courts overturn the will of the people at a whim. Elections are rigged and stolen and the media complies.

20% of Americans don't speak English at home.

According to the national institute of literacy, 32 million adults in the U.S. can't read. That's 14 percent of the population. 21 percent of adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates can't read.

About half the population relies on the government for their sustenance.

Obama has a very solid base of illiterate, dependent voters.

...41% who rate it a success...

Must be getting our money to pay for their lives!

Will Lady Liberty come home only to be placed upon the razor’s edge to be pushed and pulled along the edge of the razor’s blade toward the pool of alcohol with congress holding one of Lady Liberty’s hands while obola holds Lady Liberty’s other hand with the supremes pushing Lady Liberty ‘forward’? I can also picture the clintoon’s dumping ebola and every other known disease into the pool of alcohol diluting the alcohol with every known enough that once Lady Liberty rides the razor’s edge ... Lady Liberty will quite probably not survive. The 41% want exactly this and more for the Lady known as Liberty. May God forgive them for they were never informed enough to know nothing more than ‘low information’. Personally ... Should Lady Liberty not survive ... I truthfully believe and expect the Young Americans to make certain the ‘low information’ 41% do not survive.

Illiterate voter bump.
