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.

<Community organizers make pathetic presidents.

Uh, in this case "Community organizers" is a synonym for both shakedown artists and thugs selling "protection".

I'll bet a confidential survey of white owned businesses in Hussein's Chicago territory would reveal of lot of Jesse Jackson style extortion.

But you know these numbers are inflated by the MSM. He may be closer to 39 percent... rather than 49

They are probably very inflated. In these days (where Carrie Prejean loses her crown over a politically incorrect answer, and there's organized harassment of people who contributed money to the California marriage proposition) who wants to tell some stranger calling him up that he dislikes The Chosen One? It might not be healthy.

We shouldn’t rest easy as long as Obama sits in the White House. We know that there is no level of corruption or illegality that they won’t sink to, and as he acquires more power there is more he can get away with. He’s going to be demanding consitutional referendums Chavez-style before this is all over.

Believe that time is on our side. The economy is no where near healthy. Unemployment continues to rise and that’s the big one.

And don't be fooled by the market. Less employees means more profits. It's not that the companies are making money. They just have fewer employees and health care packages to pay for.
It's best the working people save their money now more than ever. They'll need under-the-table cash for their health care if the democrats DeathCare bill passes.

It went so well that all anybody has been talking about is the remark about the Cambridge Police.

All I’m thinking about right now is getting back some opposition in one year and three months.

BEcause it gives us hope that people are getting the message. Please don’t take away our one frail little forlorn hope. It’s all we’ve got right now.
