WASHINGTON (Aug. 21) -- A new poll says that Americans, concerned over the future of health care reform and anxious about the growing federal budget deficit, are losing faith in President Barack Obama.
The Washington Post-ABC News survey found that less that half of Americans — 49 percent — say they believe the president will make the right decisions for the country. That's down from 60 percent at the 100-day mark of the Obama presidency.
The poll published Friday says Obama's overall approval is 57 percent, 12 points lower than it was at its peak in April. Fifty-three percent disapprove of the way he's handling the budget deficit and his approval on health care continues to deteriorate. The national survey was conducted Aug. 13-17 and has a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.
PLEASE FREEP THE POLL AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE.

This is the first negative reporting on Obama I can recall seeing on the AOL page.
One reason for this. He hasn’t made a “right” decision since the election. People are afraid of any decision he makes on health care. Of course he will blame everything on his Czars.
In the end the polls wil finally give us the % of people who are Communists. Probably 30%.
LBJ quote updated for use by Obama:
“If we’ve lost the AOL mouth breathers then we’ve lost our core voters.”
“...Obama’s overall approval is 57 percent,>>>
And this is even with the usual ABC bias that included 10% more Dems in their poll than Republicans. He is losing the Independents, and that is the crucial group for next year’s elections.
Not just yet...it’s still Bush’s fault.

The really scary thing is not that Obama doesn’t know much, but that his team is a bunch of sneaky, seasoned professional socialists.
Tanking. Gotta love the sampling/weighting when approval is 6-8 points higher than all of the others out there. Pollaganda.
I’m surprised Huffington published the results.
Best quote I’ve heard on the radio this morning...
We’ve have the best house on the block with a leaky faucet and the government wants to fix it by tearing it down with a wrecking ball and a team of union thugs!
NO: 81%
But, but, but, the SRM says everything in the country is GREAT since Jan 20th.
In addition to the Glen Beck poll there are 13 others. One of them asks if those who oppose socialized medicine should be denied Social Security.
Meanwhile, the Lockerbie bomber is set free.
Fox has got to stand up and back Glenn Beck. If companies have dropped Fox, there are others that will pick up the slack. If companies around the country don’t start standing up to this crap, the people will stand up to the companies. Money talks, BS walks.
ABC and the Washington Post with this sort of negative poll result for their God??!! This is when you know Hussein is REALLY in trouble. Question is, will there be ENOUGH union/Black Panther/ACORN thugs available to intimidate voters in 2010??
