New Rasmussen Poll
Powerline ^ | 07/08/2009 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 07/08/2009 11:53:29 AM PDT by fiscon1

the Rasmussen survey is correct, Barack Obama's standing with voters is tanking. (Rasmussen's presidential tracking survey is a "likely voter" poll.) Today, for the first time, Obama's "approval index" stands at -5, as 37% of voters express strong disapproval of his performance, while 32% strongly approve.

How many of the 32% are ACORN members or illegals or liberal students

these sentiments need to be mirrored in the media. Even though hardly anyone watches the 3 stooges and their mentally deranged sibling on cable, they need to echo that people/voters are realizing they were sold a bag of crap by Obama. That will then resonate and make the media start to question Obama more fiercely instead of just letting him get a free pass.

Bambi’s support comes overwhelmingly from two groups:

* Those dependent on the Government for their living
* The brain dead

(note that there is a great deal of overlap between these groups)

98% of Blacks believe that Obama is doing a great job, and I’m certain that accounts for much of the 32%. The other percentages are composed of baby-killers, homosexuals, criminals, and illegal aliens. Obama could come out wearing a Swastika and a KKK hood, and they would still support him. Obama is never going to get below 32% favorable rating, the Blacks and the MSM will make certain of that.

Count me in as one of the dissenting 2% who sees through this slick talking snake oil salesman’s pitch.

The 32% is the big number. If that continues to shrink, he will start feeling the pain. When it gets to 25%, the Democrats will be in panic mode and will start attacking his policies.

If it hits 20%, they will attack him personally.

At that point, it will be Obama thrown under the bus to save the party.

Look for him to invent an international crisis — God knows there’s lots of potential out there.

It’s going to be entertaining to watch the libtards get into cat fights and claw each other’s eyes out.

The only problem with this theory is that he is trying not to offend anyone and make nice with the tyrants. In order to "wag the dog" you have to be willing to lob around a few cruise missiles and he is vehemently opposed to this and the moveon.org and code pink whackos will murder him for employing "cowboy tactics."

Hopefully you’re right. At least troops won’t have to die needlessly for his stupidity.

True. The real problem will be when someone attacks us. Will he cower in fear as his world view is shattered risking the lives of millions or will he step up and defend the country like he swore and oath to do? Honestly, I don't know which one he would choose...

It’s no longer 0bama, it’s -5Bama.

I’m looking forward to -10Bama. Then he gets his Zero back ... for a few days, ‘til he plunges farther.

Ah yes, that looks like the PSA crash in the San Diego suburb of North Park. Very fitting when you consider how North Park is a libhole stronghold.
