WASHINGTON (CNN) — A majority of independent voters disapprove of how Barack Obama's handling his job as president, according to a new national poll.

Fifty-three percent of independents questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday say they disapprove of how Obama's handling his duties in the White House, with 43 percent in approval. That result marks the first time in a CNN poll that a majority of independents give the president's performance a thumbs-down.

Who would have thunk it?

So this means all independants are racists? LOL

I wish they had done a little more thinking before they went for Bammie back in November. One thing about conservatives, you can’t pee on THEIR legs and tell them it’s raining.

"Obama won a majority of the vote among independents last year, and that helped put him in the White House," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Losing their support makes it more difficult for Obama to govern from the center."

I'm speechless...

it’s really sad that we are a poll obsessed country. These polls mean absolutely nothing because those being pulled are can’t be adequately vetted as to whether or not they know anything about anything. It’s all about their FEELING at the time being polled.

And if anything, it goes to show you just HOW FRICKING IGNORANT “independents” are. It was clearly spelled out by republicans and by Obama’s own voting record just what a leftist politician he was. They just wanted to vote for who was the better teleprompter reader. It’s that simple

Fifty-three percent of independents questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday say they disapprove of how Obama's handling his duties...CNN poll - probably more like 60% disapproval in reality.....

where in my post did I even hint that there shouldn’t be a “conversation?” Go to the doctor and get your knee checked. It’s jerking too much.

Hey CNN Duh???? I am just wondering when CNN put down the Kool-Aid?

[Soul Seeker]

The alternative was McCain. Better than Obama okay, but not all that much.

It’s not the vote for Obama I really hold people accountable for. Couldn’t stand either choice myself. It’s the messianic label they affixed to his worthless person that I couldn’t stomach. They do deserve to be held account for treating him like some sort of god.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You’re absolutely right about McCain.

[Rome2000]

It means 47% of “Independents” are imbeciles.

Conversion, not conversation. - Conversations are for the radical leftist touchy-feelies.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Like this guy was ever even trying to govern from the center to begin with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bgill]

Uh oh. Teddy and Saddam are pitching snow balls.

[sausageseller]

Like this guy was ever even trying to govern from the center to begin with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't CNN and the ObamaRINOs tell us that he was going to govern from the center?

Those gullible MORONS make me want to puke!

[MAD-AS-HELL]

my apologies...I misread. But are the so called independents converting or just abandoning Buttcrack to endorse yet another smooth talking pol that will tell the morons what they want to hear?
