President Barack Obama's job approval rating is down to 42%, with a decline in approval from Democrats the leading factor.

The latest Zogby Interactive poll of 4,518 likely voters conducted from August 28-31 found 48% disapprove and 42% approve of the job Obama is doing. The poll found 75% of Democrats approve of Obama's performance, a drop of 13 points among Democrats from an interactive poll done July 21-24 of this year. That same poll found 48% of all likely voters approving of Obama's job performance, and 49% disapproving.

In the time between the two aforementioned polls, Zogby conducted a similar interactive survey from Aug. 18-20. That poll found 45% of all likely voters approving of Obama's job performance and 51% disapproving. So Obama is up very slightly overall from 10 days earlier.

The Aug. 28-31 poll also found that:

Sadly you may be correct. We may be headed toward Zimbabwe. This is what he and his goons want.

The American public has no clue how fast it can happen.

Don’t even ask. Once Dems (the SRM/MSM) throw him under the bus it will be the new cool to make 0 jokes and point out every contradiction he makes.

"Our economy is heading straight for the 1930s."

Our hopey changey president is trashing the US infrastructure, and quickly replacing it with the more representational (of the black culture) system of Zimbabwe.

When Obama declares marshal law, Zogby will be doing polling from inside the detention camp he gets sent to.

He knows you’re smarter than he is.

He's really become bitter. Won't have anything close to a civil discussion about politics. He's never said it, but I'm convinced that he's every bit the radical that Obama is. He once told me that he wasn't a liberal, but a "progressive".

I laughed out loud so hard, that it upset his carefully constructed air of superiority. He kicked me off his porch right after that exchange.

This isn’t just big, its huge. This is the beginning of the end for the Bamster. To understand why, you need to understand the pathology of the malignant narcissist. The narcissist gains his sense of self from the way he is perceived by others. He is ultra-sensitive to any criticism, right or wrong. Witness his enemies list and his jihad against Glenn Beck and Rush, as well as many other to numerous to count. He cannot accept even the least criticism without flying off into a rage. In addition the ME is paranoid. He believes that the world is his and his alone, but that there are dark nefarious forces out to bring him down.

His loss of perceived esteem by the public is causing him to engage in more and more confrontations with his closest allies. You see this in the strained pressers. You see his allies in the media turning. Pretty soon with an approval rating of 42 percent he will become despondent. What he will do to try to jack up his popularity is anyone’s guess. But everything is on the table, because his sense of self if far more important than any national interest or the public’s right to freedom and all other rights.

I have said from several days after the election, check my postings, that the Bamster would not make it past two years and would voluntarily resign. I now officially cut my prediction to 18 months. When the kitchen heats, the malignant narcissist will heading for the cool weather of the Chicago Hood. He is cracked now and he will shatter very shortly. The tip off will be Biden’s “resignation.”

I tried to find a casino in Vegas or anywhere else to take my action. I figure its worth 1000 to 1 or better odds. Can’t find anyone to take it. I would bet $5000 on it today.

The Dems are backing off Obama for the same reason many here on FR backed off Pres Bush or refused to support McCain. They see Obama as not following the political road they want or expected. They are not people who will be voting GOP in any election.

The media often forgets that disapproval ratings are not all a one way street.

0bozo has already done the coup d’tat when he & the media steamrolled his illegitimate candidacy into the WH. Of the the dumb ass sheeple (including my brother & sister-in-law) were accomplices in crime to the coup d’tat. What we need to do now, is to continue to discredit & disavow the 0bozo agenda, and fight him at every piece of commie legislation that he proposes.

When it was McQueeg versus Zer0 yes I’m sure 96 percent is correct.

But I recall it was quite a bit less stacked when it was Zer0 versus Hitlery.

He’ll do what they do in the entertainment industry. Surround yourself with paid off Yes people who praise you all day long. Enough of that treatment, and then end up living in total bizarro world because you’ve lost all sense of reality from never hearing the word “no” or your actions criticized.

Yep ... they were quite animated. Even more so than me.

I guess it really is their economy too. I was shocked.
