New Zogby poll bad news for Obama: job-approval ratings fall to 50-50
examiner.com ^ | 3/24/09 | John Kinsellagh

Remember all those ridiculous comparisons of Obama to Lincoln by an adoring and compliant media before he was even sworn in and had served a single day in the Oval Office?

What a difference two months makes.

When you start out your term from the heights of Mt. Olympus, there is only one way to go — down. And, for Obama, the fall has been rather precipitious, only because the expectations for his presidency were so unrealistic and utterly devoid of any connection with reality. A new Zogby poll confirms what Obama does not seem willing to accept: the…

Ooooh! It’s a draw? I’d say 45-55 already.

Wait until he imposes cap n’ trade, rescinds Bush tax cuts, inflation starts hitting 75 to 8% and gas prices going through the roof...

what’s really bad news is that 50% of the idiots polled here still “support” this march toward fascism at the top and communism at the bottom

Ever since Zogby put McCain +1 late in the election I won’t trust him.

And who do you think would be responsible here? Tingly Matthews and the entire Dinosaur Media Machine, perhaps?

Will we ever see a poll where recipients of any governmental financial benefit are excluded? The results would be drastically different I imagine but fascinating nevertheless.

I’ve always though polling dole recipients about the performance of their sugar daddy was a silly exercise.

'Amidst all the tumult occurring on his watch, Obama's preferred posture is to bask in the adulation of being a celebrity icon. It's the redemptive idea of his presidency that matters, not his capacity for governing. But Americans are growing weary of Obama the celebrity president. They want their president to lead, to actually make some hard choices, and not run to the West Coast for a sit-down with Jay Leno. As the public is slowly starting to realize, Obama has remained in campaign mode for the simple reason that he doesn't know how to govern.'

*MEGA PING*

...Before Obama even took office, there were also the comparisons to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and how he was going to usher in a 21st Century New Deal. Now that some of the voters in this country have gotten over their Election Day stupor, it is more like a Raw Deal.

"fascism at the top and communism at the bottom"

If you haven't read Goldberg's book, borrow one and do it now.

And the new $1600 per year tax on your home utilities, new capital gains taxes, wage controls, etc.

“the entire Dinosaur Media Machine”....

They wrapped the empty suit Obama up with a pretty bow and sold him in the biggest socialist con job in American history!

They're still waiting to see whether we get national socialism or soviet socialism. Both will be horrible. Both will be disasters, especially for Obama voters, but they are waiting to see which form of tyranny he chooses for us before they turn against the socialist in the White House.

According to Rasmussen polls, BHO is underwater with both Republicans and "others".



While Gallup shows BHO holding steady amongst independants & even gaining slightly amongst Dems.

More of the supergenius of this Administration on display. Commandeering the primetime airwaves, so that when all the chooches tune in to see American Idol, they get to see a bloviating politician spewing the same old cliches together instead.

Not the way to make friends with the masses.

“...biggest socialist con job in American history!”

You got that right!

Thing is, his rating won’t go below 48%. Those are the conned diehards that will back him no matter what he does.

This makes me laugh. The so called msm has egg all over, not just on their face. Obama is the worst president we have ever had. I would call for ouster but the next two in line are even worse!
