~ EXCERPT ~

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:

Our economy is heading straight for the 1930s.

And with the coming major turmoil in the Middle East, we can expect a third World War to reignite our economy. Because the communist way will never do it.

Interesting analysis.

Do you really think that such an extreme and arrogant narcissist as Zero is will “voluntarily resign”? I would think he’ll have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the White House at gunpoint.

Anyway a sitting president can be recalled? If anyone deserves it, it’s the putz who’s in the office now.

This is what happens when Americans wake up and begin to see the communists through the PC haze that surrounds them.

And they are indeed communists. They have to hide it and approximate their actions so as to not give it away, but they are the hard-left—as good as it gets.

Communists are not ghosts they are very real people who believe themselves good and righteous—but the effect of their ideology is always stagnation, corruption, opression, brutal force then murder, and then mass murder.

Of course it doesn’t start there. Do you think the Germans would have gone along with the entire NAZI plan if they had known about it upfront?

They are the greatest deceivers in human history—it is an art form for them. 85% of the KGB’s time was spent on subversion, not spying. They are master’s at fooling you, at disorienting you, at confounding your survival instinct.

This is poll good, but please don’t let up, America. They are relentless and we have to, at least, match it.

Are enemy is trying to hide in your denial—wake up!

They must be defeated.

Always room for a gratuitous shot at Palin.

I don’t recall Dan Quayle ever getting paid $100,000 a speech or playing to an audience of 60,000 screaming fans.

He’ll do what they do in the entertainment industry. Surround yourself with paid off Yes people who praise you all day long.

That's exactly what he, and several democRATS have been doing with their so-called "town hall" meetings. Many of them are a farce, rooms filled with ACORN and SEIU thugs and a handful of 'normal' people. The thugs intimidate the regular citizens as much as they can. (for the most part, it isn't working).

Doesn’t matter. My point remains. Media was able to take out Dan Quayle and they did the same thing with Sarah Palin. They weren’t able to stop George W. Bush and he won 2 terms as POTUS.

The DIS approval has to exceed 50 percent.

not the approval the disapproval because that will have a projection on other democrats.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me once shame on me!

We are about one year from the financial meltdown. What could Soros do to get his man Obama back into the good graces of the American people or at least allow Obama to declare marital law so he can throw all the ‘bad’ pollsters’ and right-wing radio hosts into detention camps.

My biggest concern is what happens when this guy starts wigging out.... He really hasn’t been tested yet. He’s so aloof, he may not be able to handle this kind of rejection....

Like many Freepers here we know people from all career paths, ask yourself do I have anyone in my social circles in the Mental Health Arena? Get them aside and see if they will give you their observations of the anointed one. IMHO (and I am not in that business) This guy is a Narcissist, (potentially other things as well) and when they mentally crash I am told it ain't pretty. That begs the question will he finish his term or will he be asked to resign because his mental health becomes questionable, and will he will unfit to govern.

I would have thought the recent BS with the CIA would have driven him down 10% more

I can’t believe most sane Americans give a damn about the terrorist so called torture

In a free society there is a threshold that Obama could pass in his disapproval number that after reaching that level even the MSM would not be able to salvage his presidency.

However, if ACORN rigs the vote or Obama declares martial law and declares a police state and elections are not held then all bets are off.

Again Sarah Palin is not Dan Quayle. Given a fair contest and Obama’s declining fortunes, Sarah has a chance. But I will agree if Obama is able to resurrect himself and get up again to 55% approval (Rasmussen)Sarah’s chances to beat the Messiah are doubtful.

I guess what I am saying it is not so much what Sarah does but what Obama is able to accomplish in the next 3 and 1/2 years.

"Case in point, President Bush’s invasion of Iraq was initally very popular with the American people at least for a year"...until the continuous negative drumbeat by the Traitorous Media began to take its toll...

If the MSM threw at him 50% of what they did to Bush he would be a basket case in a week

Bush had his faith to sustain him

This guy has NOTHING
