Obama's Support Eroding Everywhere
The Business Insider ^ | 7/9/09

Posted on 07/09/2009 5:38:25 PM PDT by FromLori

Yesterday we mentioned that poll out of Ohio showing Obama's support collapsing in the uber-important swing state.

Turns out that's not a one-state phenomenon. Both Gallup and Rasmussen have new polls out showing big slippage in support for the administration

Everything seems to have changed since that last jobs report, since it viciously undercut the green shoots claims. Here's Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 32% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –5.

The number who strongly disapprove inched up another point to the highest level measured to date and the overall Approval Index is at the lowest level yet for Obama.

And:

In the wake of last week’s disappointing report on job loss, consumer confidex has fallen to the lowest level in two months. The Rasmussen Investor Index shows investor confidence falling to the lowest level in three months. The number of investors who say the economy is getting worse jumped from 43% before the jobs report to 51% today.

If this direction continues, it begins to increase the odds the the White House will pursue a stimulus, though at this point, according to multiple reports, there really is no appetite for it among politicians. These numbers may also slow down climate reform, if that's deemed to be a non-essential issues at the moment.

I can’t say how pleased I am to hear this and I hope that the trend snowballs. I hope they all ‘tell a friend’.

It takes them this long and this much destruction to begin to see what all of us saw a year ago.

And they think that because they're “moderate” they are more intelligent.

Meanwhile, plenty of braindead, bleeding-heart, do-gooders (who destroy those they claim to help), still proudly support him on Facebook, on bumper stickers, and with that sheep-about-to-be-slaughtered-blissfully-ignorant smile.

He’s still strong with illegals, minorities, unionists, dead voters, ACORN members, welfare recipients, and useful idiot liberals. Sadly the sum total of those approaches a majority these days.

I think dead voters and ACORN mostly. I also suspect ACORN hacked the social security. All the dead reported getting surplus checks now.

WRONG. He is still receiving 99% approval from INNER CITIES.

Unless he becomes white that will NEVER change.

They likely KNEW this was going to start happening which is why they are putting ACORN in charge of the Census and keep funneling them tax payer dollars, the only chance they’d have is voter fraud (what else is new?). It is also why they keep rushing/pushing through bills without reading them—they know what may be happening starting 2010.
