Obama's Approval Rating Plummets 15% in a Week
Patriot Room ^ | January 24, 2009 | Bill Dupray

Posted on 01/24/2009 4:07:18 PM PST by Bill Dupray

Hmmmm. On January 16, 2008, Obama had an approval rating of 83%, which was during the transition, a time when Obama didn't actually do anything (remember "No comment - there is only one president at a time").

Today, a week later, he is at 68%.

What could account for this sudden plunge in popularity?

I think it’s gotta be most of the far lefties who feel he’s not doing enough. Still aside from the repeal of abortion funding limits, I’m ok with what he’s done so far.

Pissing off Catholics and Christians has a lot to do with it. Also, his “bipartisanship”. Expect his approval ratings to fall further next week.

For starters? An overblown inauguration after telling Americans he felt their pain. Paid for partly by tax dollars and partly by private parties, it doesn’t matter - it’s the principle of thing. Let them eat cake!

But I admit, it’s been funny to see the buyer’s remorse this week.

Someone better in math than me....

How many weeks will it take at this rate to get to a negative approval rating?

If a freight train leaves ....well you remember those story problems.

You think closing Gitmo, neutering the CIA and giving terrorists undeserved rights is ok?

No wonder the “messiah” is so scared of Rush Limbaugh, he is afraid that he is gonna lose re-election. He is already crapping his pants over 2012, no wonder he is paying his drones 8 bucks an hour to post hateful messages about Sarah Palin on the adn web site and other places, he fears he is only a 1 term President, personally I’d like his ass gone as soon as possible.

“I’m ok with what he’s done so far.”

What has he done?
Appointing Leon Panetta; a political hack, to head the CIA; shows gross incompetence.
He should be impeached for that alone.

68% is way too high, give it time. He’s already spit in the face of pro lifers and he has just started. I have a feeling he’s got plenty more saliva where that came from.

You like what he's done with the CIA?

Or Gitmo?

How about the "stimulus" bill he's trying to ramrod through?

Maybe you like hypocrisy and think his "I won" is an amusing take on his endless talk of bipartisan negotiation?

Or maybe the banning of lobbyists and then allowing them anyway is hypocrisy more your style?

Or I know, you like his environmental czar being a member of Socialist International, right?
