At least five major factors seem to play a part:
(1) Americans’ views of the presidency;
(2) Obama’s racial make-up;
(3) his party affiliation;
(4) the mainstream media’s (MSM’s) bias on his behalf; and
(5) Americans’ tendency to accord very low priority to politics.
Stupidity?
Why he even has an approval rating is beyond my comprehension.
Second is ignorance. They're incapable of original thought and don't educate themselves concerning the burning issues of the day. And the younger the liberal, the less likely they're even able to read, thus further hindering educating themselves.
Why is O'dummy still popular among these people? For the same reason hundreds of people followed Jim Jones to South America, viz. Such inferior humans are desperate to belong to a cult. In this case, the cult of liberalism. They've been brainwashed.
There are times when I think winning the Cold War was the worst thing that could have happened to us. Why? Because it made us too secure/comfortable and we dropped our guard on a number of fronts (not just in terms of national security). This paved the way for someone like Obama to get elected.
In the old days, Obama would not even have been able to get a security clearance.
Many people hold to their preconceptions ever though reality is in front of them. Reality is too “serious” and upsetting to them. Back to the Cardasians...
Those that give a positive approval rating are afraid of being labeled a racist if they don’t.
More to the point: winning the Cold War enabled a new level of stupid in this country, which we embraced wholeheartedly.
RE: Those that give a positive approval rating are afraid of being labeled a racist if they don’t.
Aren’t polls supposed to be anonymous?
1. Low information types.
2. Blacks approval no matter what.
3. Die hard lefties approval no matter what.
I personally know all three types. Take a homosexual, obama is pro homo. China could be nuking Hawaii right now due to some stupid foreign policy SNAFU of obama’s, and the homo opinion would still be positive.
And the low info types would be too busy texting to notice reports of Hawaii’s nuking. If they did notice they’d probably confuse it with some gardening documentary on how to grow mushrooms.
What makes you think we won the cold war? Their Goal was destruction of America from inside....
Polls that don’t present openly the demographics used are just phoney numbers without any basis?
Because they don’t want to be called “racists.”
As part of the same poll, ask them three questions about American history. My feeling is that most wouldn’t be able to answer one.
What makes me weep is that although everyone in the country knows what is going on with this guy, no one will stand up to him and even the Joint Chief’s of Staff are knuckling under when they know better.
To compound it all, when this guy retires from office he will only be 56 and he will spend the rest of his life flying around the world on our tab working with hostile nations to finish the job of dismantling our freedom. Even then, no one will stand up and bring him to justice. We will see treason play out before our eyes and our nation will accept it along with the consequences.
What a shame.
Because they are extremely gullible.
