What were Johnson’s numbers when he made the decision not to run in 1968?
BOL. Thanks!
More proof that Romney was right. As long as the government checks keep coming, some people will support Obama no matter what.
Two months in row mean its not an aberration. Low 40s is his unshakable base, its unlikely he can go lower regardless what he does.
“Truman, Kennedy/Johnson, Nixon/Ford, Carter, Bush I and Bush II were all followed by presidents from the other party.”
The Rinos are not really offering something different from the Dems. On top of that, the electronic voting machines are totally under the control of the dark side, along with the knee-pad strapping media. I think, without some sort of wake-up event, the Dems will get the next one, too.
Yeah, and with the press and lying democrats dogging Bush every hour of every day that means in comparison to the freak Prez, who gets nothing but help, Bushes rating was really in the 60’s.
We shouldn’t get excited about these numbers. His approval rate has been at 42% since August 2009.
That means regardless of how much he damages our country and our allies, he has a totally blind and non caring following who will vote for him and fund him as he destroys America:

Zogby: Obama Approval Plummets to 42 Percent
Zogby / Newsmax ^ | August 31, 2009 | John Zogby

President Barack Obama’s job approval rating is down to 42%, with a decline in approval from Democrats the leading factor.
The latest Zogby Interactive poll of 4,518 likely voters conducted from August 28-31 found 48% disapprove and 42% approve of the job Obama is doing. The poll found 75% of Democrats approve of Obama’s performance, a drop of 13 points among Democrats from an interactive poll done July 21-24 of this year. That same poll found 48% of all likely voters approving of Obama’s job performance, and 49% disapproving.
In the time between the two aforementioned polls, Zogby conducted a similar interactive survey from Aug. 18-20. That poll found 45% of all likely voters approving of Obama’s job performance and 51% disapproving. So Obama is up very slightly overall from 10 days earlier.
The Aug. 28-31 poll also found that:
17% give Obama an excellent job rating, 25% rate him good, 16% fair and 41% poor. Combining the two highest and lowest rankings shows 42% rating Obama positively and 57% negatively. (This is the standard Zogby International has used for many years in measuring job performance.)
Likely voters are closely split on whether they have a favorable opinion of Obama, with 50% favorable and 48% unfavorable. Democrats are more positive about Obama personally than they are of his job performance, with 85% rating him favorably.
52% of all likely voters are proud to have Obama as President, and 35% are ashamed. The percentage of those proud is unchanged from six weeks ago.
A majority of likely voters (53%) believe the U.S. headed in the wrong direction, with 38% saying right direction.
Around 40%.
Johnson started out at 75% in the fall of 1963, fell below 50% in spring '66, then below 40% in spring '67.
By the end of his term in 1968, he was back up to 45%.
Interesting to note that Ford, Reagan, and Clinton all fell to 40% but then recovered to over 50%.
But in each case the 40% level happened early in their first terms.
While I appreciate your optimism, we can not overcome the inordinate number of ignorant, apathetic, and outright morons who only listen to the enemedia propaganda, and will vote in lock step with the liberal scum. That, combined with the Demonic Party’s overt and consistently unchecked voting fraud schemes virtually guarantees that socialists will continue to destroy this once great republic. The fact that Elizabeth Warren and Hitlery Clinton are considered viable candidates for the presidency is all the evidence needed to prove that our nation is filled with an overwhelming number of idiots who should be charged for their oxygen. The fact that they would still vote for the Demonic Party, even after seeing the innumerable and catastrophic failures of the current ass clown-in-chief, is sufficient justification to charge them at a rate higher than they can afford to pay.
Delusion as also a feature in the Fuhrer bunker toward the end as well.
He will always have a floor of racial zealots and welfare takers supporting his numbers.
What questions were asked?
They can be worded to get the desired results.

Poll: Slight rise, but Bush approval ratings still weak
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush’s job approval ratings remain anemic among Americans, with disapproval exceeding approval 57 percent to 42 percent, according to a poll released Monday.
They give the link to the actual poll:
http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2014/images/07/22/rel7c.pdf
But I think the key is that they polled “adults”, NOT registered or likely voters. Illegal aliens are also “adults” — well, most of them anyway.
I just posted the link to the actual poll and started to read it — it’s pitiful, that we have 43% of the people generally agree with Obama (on pg 3)
It is worth reading the actual poll — it is amazing.

51% think that Obama cares about people like they are!
46% say he shares their values...
49% think he is sincere...
But even with all that, 59% OPPOSE Obamacare!!!
Only 18% think they are better off w Obamacare.
I'm not overly optimistic, just hopeful.
Like you, I fear the transformation O'bama promised us has reached the stage where mind-numbed voters can no longer distinguish reality from insanity.
Then again, I reflect on how poorly O'bama Care, "stimulus", "reset" and virtually everything else he promised has gone, and I'm hopeful that they've done just as poorly with "transforming" America's soul.
Thanks, I read the questions.
How are the results of 899 registered voters representative of a population of 313 million people?
How do we know if the pollster hung up on anyone who responded that they were not Democrats?
I’ve had pollsters hang up on me when I was skewing their desired results.
BO likely has a slightly higher floor, because 95% of blacks will support him come hell or high water.
No matter what poll or what scenario, President Obama is always at 42% approval (sometimes called a “new low”).
