This is not the Approval Index, which is, incidentally, at -11, but this is the regular old presidential job approval rating. Obama is officially underwater at 46%.
Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That’s the lowest level of total approval yet measured for Obama. Fifty-three percent (53%) now disapprove. Eighty-one percent (81%) of Democrats approve while 83% of Republicans disapprove. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 66% disapprove.
And, not to sound like a broken record, those 66% of the independents who are running away from the Democrats spell disaster for the Democrats this year in Virginia and New Jersey, and next year in the midterms.
We now have non-partisan straight-shooters like Charlie Cook concluding that the Dems could lose seats next year at least by double digits in the House.
Charlie Cook, one of the best political handicappers in the business, sent out a special update to Cook Political Report subscribers Thursday that should send shivers down Democratic spines.
Reviewing recent polling and the 2010 election landscape, Cook can envision a scenario in which Democratic House losses could exceed 20 seats.
"These data confirm anecdotal evidence, and our own view, that the situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and Congressional Democrats. Today, The Cook Political Report’s Congressional election model, based on individual races, is pointing toward a net Democratic loss of between six and 12 seats, but our sense, factoring in macro-political dynamics is that this is far too low," he wrote.
When even lefties like Nate Silver (who also happens to be a pretty good prognosticator) start saying it is more like a Democrat loss of 20-50 seats, you can't accuse us wing-nuts of making this stuff up.
Zogby tomorrow will report, allegedly, that ZERO has sunk to 42%.
Things are looking grim for our first red president.
That’s a weird way to hold an ice cream cone - just the finger tips
Who eats ice cream like that? I mean seriously....
Need to fix that tagline.
Couldn’t happen to a better fascist.
And now for something completely different.
What I said ... Not sure yet, but that is why the allegedly was added.
Anyway you look at it, ZERO is going down.
Larry?
Remember how he threw that baseball? That was wussy.
How appropriate that he is standing next to a sign boasting “Novelties”.
Some novelties wear off.
“That’s a weird way to hold an ice cream cone - just the finger tips”
That’s how his mentor, Uncle Frank, taught him to how to hold it.
He is a homo
its a Kenyan thing.
The more the Liberal Messiah's numbers drop, the more I think of the Reichstag Fire. This SOB is going to create some sort of crisis in an effort to grab "emergency powers".
