The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 33% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7.
I don't think anyone here thinks that European leaders have long ago seen through this guy as an empty suit. He was elected pure and simple because he's black and because the republicans put up a weak candidate.
Fact is, this guy is not a black Afican American. His family did not grow up under slavery, in fact the white lineage we're told owned slaves.
He's not a Jackie Robinson. He will never conger up the kind of American pride for the under dog and to the right thing. We like fighters...and we like winners... You can see that in Feb and March the American public gave him high approval ratings. We ALL wanted him to succeed, and by doing so bring our country to a new level. To revitalize our society with new ideas, new ways to improve our lives.
Instead of unleashing the energy and vitality of our captialistic and free market society he went the opposite way.
Instead of lowering taxes to individuals and businesses he raised them. Instead of stimulating our markets he's produced more debt.
In just 8 months, he's the worst president in my lifetime, and getting worse.
I will NEVER follow this man. I will do all I can to oppose his ideas and the phony followers that lead the democratic party.
I don't think in my life time have I ever felt that there is truly a potential for civil war in this country.
It can happen folks. Desperate people do desperate things, and this guy and his handlers will grow more desperate by the week if his numbers keep crashing.
CORRECTION:
“I think many of us here believe that European leaders have long ago seen through this guy as an empty suit. “
All it will take is for some hardcore leftists to think that they’re dropping the “public option” and they will move from “strongly approve” to “approve”,
and this index goes into the toilet.
This is probably why they are denouncing the idea of dropping the “public option”.
I can’t believe he is doing so well.
Not a chance. They are in it to the end for absolute power, just like Obama. Getting it won't win popularity contests, they know that, but it won't matter when all protests and uprisings can be snuffed out without anyone even knowing about it. Only good news of the glorious one will fill they air 24/7.
Spread it around!
Looks like he's stuck in the negative. That's a start.
As important to remember is that he is losing his base:
I would add that another reason he was elected was the constant message of GWB being Satan/Hitler/Stalin reincarnate turned Independents and some Republicans to vote for Barry.
Change for change sake - what a great way to elect leaders! /sarc
I think he is at or near the low point. He has the brain dead in his column and they won’t ever desert him.
He isn't.
He's doing worse then even Jimmy Carter at the same stage in his presidency, and Carter's the worst president this country has ever had.
Never happen. The MSM can depict 9.3% unemployment as a positive thing.
We're still in Iraq. Gitmo is still open. Wiretapping calls from foreign sources is still in effect. The Patriot act is still in effect....all the anti-Bush boogeyman subjects are still there after 6 months, yet not a peep from the MSM. When's the last time you heard an Iraq body count?
The MSM doesn't report or even analyze the news. They paint it.
I don’t think anyone asks tough questions of this guy, because to do so is “racist”. Once his numbers are consistently -10 and dropping the American public and his own party will be asking the tough questions.
American don’t like to be bamboozled, and there is a growing number that feel this way.
Do you have any liberal or democratic friends who have told you that they now regret having voted for him? I do, and to me that is the most telling.
I respect your opinion, but I think and in fact, pray that you’re wrong.
if not, they will after todays market crash. it's because of Obama that they are now going to be heading into another period of recession, just as they were finally crawling out of this last one. It is TOTALY because of Obama, and the disastrous economic report.
It's going to be a heck of a day-
If you have children or teenagers, you'll recognize this common behavior.
The left has succeeded in turning America into a country full of immature juveniles with the corresponding mindset.
Wow! down -187 already
This is exactly what the joker poster conveys - YOU'VE BEEN HAD.
And this is why the left SO hates it.

What you are overlooking is the fact that these marxists have been waiting along time for their moment. They went "all in" with Obama. They won't quit now, because there's too much to loose.
Will they be successful? I doubt it. As you said, look at the lefties already turning on him. Media won't however.
It's all in the way the pollster phrases the question.
For example...
Do you approve of the job President Obama is doing, or are you a bitter-clinger racist?
