President Obama’s approval rating has taken another hit, dropping for the third quarter in a row, this time to 44.5 percent between July 20-Oct. 19, Gallup reported on Monday.

That’s a three point decline from the previous quarter, and it is the third largest quarter-to-quarter decline of his five-year (19-quarter) presidency.

Obama’s highest approval rating (63 percent) came during his first quarter as president, and by the fifth quarter, it had dropped to 48.8 percent. Obama’s lowest quarterly approval rating, 41 percent, came in the 11th quarter (third year) of his presidency. …

I’m amazed 44.5 percent of the population approves. That number seems high.

[Logical me]

It doesn't really matter the approval rating of King Obama. The Communists Democrats with the MSM support does not need Americans anymore. He is a dictator and not finished destroying America. The fun is just starting.

[madprof98]

No matter what he does, no matter how bad things get, half the people adore him. The country is lost.

[JaguarXKE]

I saw a poll that had him at 37% last week.

He’d still need the military to be loyal to him. I don’t think that’s something that is unilateral. And even so, the armed citizenry don’t fear what the military might try. Problem is, the Islamist sleeper cells will suddenly wake up at the mere hint of such trouble . . .

[Luke21]

Next week they’ll tell us that 46 percent is the low for his presidency.

“I’m amazed 44.5 percent of the population approves. That number seems high.”

Nah, the 44% are still counting on Obamacare to be “free.” I mean these people belong to the “Free $h!tt” generation, which is soon to become the “We Didn’t Know” generation.

“I saw a poll that had him at 37% last week”

Fox News reported on that last week. They said he got a 7 point bump for solving the shut down and debt ceiling crisis. Go figure.

That's the MOOCH demographic.

The only way to swing their opinion is to take away their Obama-Phones, free condoms and government EBT cards.

[SoFloFreeper]

How pathetic that almost 45 percent of the population approve of the fascist.

[FreeAtlanta]

It all seems artificially high. Gallup announced a week or two that it had dropped to 37%, but the page they have linked from drudgereport today doesn't show it below 40! Am I missing something? Gallup Polls Phony numbers for the Phony President

[FreeAtlanta]

that was gallup, but now I can’t find it.

I wonder if they got a stern talking to by the IRS?

[Red in Blue PA]

What would the number be without his MSM support?

5%?

[GOPJ]

...the “Free $h!tt” generation, which is soon to become the “We Didn’t Know” generation.

You're right as rain on that one...

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Ratings as low as G.W. Bush and almost as low as Nixon.. Man you really gotta suck. Bush and Nixon were hated by the MSM employees and Obama is admired, loved, and adored by MSM employees.

[Political Junkie Too]

Yeah, it seems high ever since Holder sued them over low poll numbers.

Good point.
