GALLUP: ONLY 39 PERCENT HAVE POSITIVE VIEW OF AMERICA
Big Government ^

Posted on 01/22/2013 1:34:34 PM PST by SMGFan

When people say that Barack Obama is the worst president since Jimmy Carter, they’re not kidding; a new Gallup Poll taken between January 7-10 shows that when Americans were asked whether they had a positive view of the country, only 39% agreed.

This is the lowest percentage since August 1979, when Carter was president, inflation was out of control and the economy was hurtling toward the abyss. The percentage of those who believe that things will be better in five years is only 48%, the lowest since that same time period under Carter.

Another 40% said things will be worse. When they were asked whether the United States stood five years ago, 55% said things were better, indicating their belief that the more they have seen of Barack Obama, the worse they have felt. But even that figure is revealing in other ways; the 55% number is the most negative number since 1991. In contrast, at the beginning of George W. Bush’s first term, in January 2001, a whopping 73% of those polled were positive about America.

America made a mistake on Nov. 7th. Now, we ALL pay for it.

Guess there are liberals/ progressive who do not view America positively because she has not changed enough, yet.

Exactly. They keep electing him and America is tilting Left fast and hard.

I’m tiring of general poll questions being used to make a point. People might have a negative view of America because it isn’t Socialist enough.

America is done. It’s on the edge of the toilet bowl, ready to fall in, and take it’s rightful place.

America is a nation of takers, and corruption. A place where group status matters more than anything. A place where competence and success is hated. A place where reality stars are valued more than real leaders. A place where not following the communist line will cause a public shunning of the offender.

I hate what this country has become.

Do not know if you saw it or not, but this guy’s administration just appointed a “Muzzie” to be the Safety Director for AMTRAK; the nation’s railroad passenger carrier. What a selection!! I cannot believe the people of this country and what they are thinking; or not thinking. You hit the nail on the head.

I never thought I'd live to see a worse president.

Precisely, but if so many people have a negative view of America and Hussein 0bama, it further sparks suspicion that the election was stolen.

It also speaks to how lame the last two GOP nominees have been.

A public school employee when asked about her job security, merely touched her forearm, saying "They'll never fire me because of this" black skin.

The mistake was made long before Nov 7th, it happened at the GOP primary.

Nor was Jimmeh a jihadist sympathizer.

Or was he....???

He certainly had no love for Israel...

Then how, or why, did the Kenyan socialist win? Ballot box stuffing?

I'm sure there were shennanigans, but Romney was an unacceptable candidate. I voted for George Washington and kept my dignity. The guy was more liberal than Bill Clinton !!
