For First Time, Obama's Approval Rating Falls Below 50%

Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance, RASMUSSEN will report later this morning.

This marks the first time his overall approval rating has ever fallen below 50% among Likely Voters nationwide. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of Democrats continue to approve of the President'’s performance while 80% of Republicans disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 37% offer a positive assessment.

The President earns approval from 51% of women and 47% of men.

RASMUSSEN was the most accurate pollster for the final results of the 2008 Presidential election.

But I predict he will only increase his media presence with even more news conferences, primetime “addresses” and whatnot.

It'll start turning peoples stomachs even more. He's already into the over kill zone. You'd be surprised at how many people moan and flick the station when his face shows up on TV - again! He talks, but never says anything relevant. It's all platitude after platitude. Some people refer to it as "Bull$h1T."

He could greatly improve his ratings by avoiding cameras and not speaking for about a year. Because that will happen. I have never seen a more blatant example of self love.

his health care plans are being blown apart we suddenly have a racial incident?

It would be ironic if the guys place was actually robbed now and the neighbors chose not to call the police because they didn't want to start a racial incident.

I think it sounds like a set-up as well. Especially weird that it is one of Obama’s admitted “friends.” Out of all the people in the US, one of his “friends” becomes the center of this kind of situation? Off-topic, but if Gates had simply showed his ID immediately and remained calm, the incident would have never happened. He began screaming “race!” from the second the officer arrived. And all of the sudden it’s a national news story.

Racist incident... yea, and from a “Friend” no less.

Obama is a racist, so are his friends.

There are about 20 percent who are as worthless as the Kenyan.

There were only about 14% of the people who were actively involved in the original American Revolution.

We can take this country back with only about 15% actively involved. It can be done legally within the law. My probable scenario is that if we are successful in taking the country back by using legal means, is that they will be using criminal means to keep control. I believe they are already way outside the legal system but that there is not enough proof yet.

At some point they will be using more strongarm tactics and then it will become violent. They will use communist takeover tactics at that point and imprison people and confiscate land and businesses. The businesses will be car companies and banks at first. Then there will be czars to enforce all kinds of communist and socialist regulations, (ie. anti-free market market regulations).

They will start to condition the populace to think that Christians are the enemy and that Christian anti-abortionists and ex-military are the enemy.

They will elect a president who will spend his time talking about the history of racism in America to inflame blacks and Hispanics against whites. Every time a black is hurt by whites or white police they will grind the story into the ground.

In the meantime several million people will take measures to avoid the coming anti-gun laws. Eventually there will be a lawful gun owner who will be goaded into over-reacting and shoot some of the agents of the government. This may have to happen a dozen or so times before the government starts to clamp down on ammunition or some other form of firearms ownership.

At that point one or two percent of the firearms owners will start to take organized and independent action.

The smart ones will operate independently and anonymously. They will recognize that the government can track them by highway cameras, on star or GPS guidance systems.

They will use guerilla warfare and take out the more visible structures and personnel who are representative of the idiots who have by that time taken almost total control of our lives. Their targets will be community organizers and their buildings. They may interrogate certain known terrorist of the occupying totalitarian marxist government to gain information and funding that these terrorists have. They may go after influential members of the ACLU and certain racist organizations that go under the cover of civil rights organizations. They may join PETA and Greenpeace to infiltrate them. They may even volunteer for people like Chuck Schumer and other idiots who are endangering our way of life.

An even more effective way of fighting the idiotic marxists would be to have effective boycotts of government owned monopolies like GM and government owned banks. Some extremists in the freedom fighter group may even burn down some of the government owned businesses.

All this violence and turmoil will be a total nightmare to Americans and may result in the division of our current country.

I predict that we only will need three to four hundred thousand acting in guerilla warfare to end the marxist domination of our country. Concentrate on ending the domination of our educational system and the entertainment industry by communist moles and socialist dupes. That is where our future lies. Do focus on getting down to 13%.

This all sounds like a ‘faint’ by the intelligensia. They want this healthcare bill pushed through, for obvious reasons. But they know it is not popular. So they appear to rachet up the heat, get things stirred up among the Dems internally. Under pressure Dems will always push ahead quicker and stronger, and irrationally, ignoring everyone and every thing around them. And they are also leaving the impression upon the average joe that “hey, its losing steam and not going to pass, i have nothing to worry about, i’ll focus on life instead” and *****WHAMMMMMM*****, it comes back and is quickly and shockingly passed. Not the first time they’ve done this.

There is no way the media changes their mind about this guy - he is of the same blood. NO WAY...

“Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.”

“Among those not affiliated with either major party, 37% offer a positive assessment.”

The most important info out of this poll.

I noticed that too. They funny thing is that I really think that is contributing to his negative poll numbers in the past few days.

I heard on Hannity last night that the Hawaii Socialized Health System lasted only 7 months.
