Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval Obama Up 3 points. Approval Now Stands at 50% Each result is based on a three-day rolling average
Gallup tracks daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president.
Significantly less than 50% of adult Americans pay any Federal Income Tax.
You’re being played if you believe this. Propaganda abounds to take some of the stink away.
A caller to Rush asked that very question last week—who are the 46% of America who are so stupid that they approve of him? Well, Rush said that 46% of America is receiving some sort of gov’t handout—ergo, they approve!
50% approval - that is Bulls**t propaganda. Screw Obama eternally.
You think polls tell the truth? It’s to sway people’s thinking - what the media doesn’t do - the polls do.
I am usually weary about polls to begin with in any case.
This poll is too volatile too be accurate. According to Gallup, BHO went from -2 to + 7 in three days. A 10 point swing? That being said, both Ras and Gallup showed a BHO uptick yesterday. Either he had a really good day polling, or a bad day rolled off, or both.
Three points is within the margin of error. And yes, weekend polls often favor Democrats. Republicans tend to have other things to do on the weekends, such as errands, keeping their kids occupied, and watching sports events.
we may be at the tipping point where there are more “Pauls than Peters”. then we are sunk.
strangers, in our own country.
Now, that he has delivered something, these people support 0bama again, and it shows in the poll numbers. The numbers, however, will not go to the Jan 2009 level, as many independents and Republicans who were supportive of him started to feel buyer remorses.
John Fund said yesterday he expected Obama to get a bump in the polls from this. He said it wouldn’t last.
I don’t think it will. I know too many employers who have said they are going to have to fire people over this. Too many doctors have said they will leave the profession. Walgreens has already said they won’t accept Medicaid; that will soon have to apply to Medicare as the Medicare cuts kick in.
They are trying to kick this down the road as far as possible so that people don’t link the too but there have been too much fuss over this to be really successful in that.
My guess is a health care tourism industry is going to spring up in places like Costa Rica and Mexico. That’s how they do it in other countries. Health care tourism, here we come.
Once they find out what is in the bill - massive poll shift !!!

Americans moronic? Yes.
That is the million dollar question....have we reached that point...
If they elect someone who sat in a church for 20 years listening to hatred directed towards America like this guy did....truly moronic....
He was elected by American Idol types and people who think that one need not be verified as competent but must be a good guy if he or she sings well. There you go, yes, America is becoming moronic by the minute.
Now you know how empires fall. They rot from within.
