Rassmussen Obama at 45% Approval, 53% disaapprove.
He's melting like a box of chocolates in the hot sun right before our very eyes.
Wait until we have double digit inflation, the jobless rate is approaching 15% and Obama breaks his promise on no tax increases on the middle class; then we will see his approval drop into the teens.
If we start to see late night comics and the like actually start to laugh at his expense that’ll be another sign.
Me personally, I’m looking forward to the first mainstream story or article on Hillary primarying in 2012. She’d beat him rather easily I think. She’d still win all the states she won before and Florida would count this time which would push her over the top and give her the nomination. Don’t think the Clintons haven’t already begun planning.
Obama should just resign and start posting on facebook.
I wonder how long it’ll take for the same people who wrote articles about how Palin’s popularity had dipped to point out that precentage-wise Obama’s has actually dropped by a larger amount. And he’s been the President and had 1000% adulatory media coverage.
Fauxbama is a political lame duck, he just doesn’t know it yet. His strongly approve is down to 30%, which means he basically has the dedicated dems left.. and this number will fall to about 20% as the non radicals in this group finally come to the realization they were duped by the party on this guy.
40%+ strongly disapprove, he’s done politically, once people are in this group, they rarely leave it.
This is what happens DNC when you send in a nobody to do a job that requires actual proven ability and talent. Yep, you can do a goebellesque campaign to con him an election victory, but you can’t con actual ability and action.
DNC, the Democratic Party’s name will be mud for at least a generation thanks to this guy. 2010 is sizing up to make 1994 look like a day in the park for you guys.
The importance of the "strong" people is that these are the ones who are going to say things and make their arguments known, pro/against. In so doing, they will affect people, in this case drawing some from the "mild approve" to "mild disapprove".
That's exactly the perception I have of those I know who voted for Obama. Their vote was not really about their country or for that matter even about Obama himself at all. It was about celebrating themselves & enhancing their own view of themselves. Voting for Obama was merely the paternalistic means to the self-serving end of reaching around to pat themselves on the back to congratulate themselves on how virtuous they are for voting for an "African-American" - though ironically they are too racist to see realize he isn't really an authentic A-A, he only looks a little like one! I actually had an in-law admit this to me out loud, albeit unwittingly. She just wanted to be able to vote for a black man to make her feel good, never bothering to trouble her mind that if this nation's first President of color were not to turn out to be a good President how that might adversely impact real african-americans in this country. She could care less about A-A's! It's all about her & her vote for Obama was, as you suggested, an exercise in pure unadulterated naricissim.
You are correct there is a segment that will support him to the bowels of hell rather than admit they were wrong to support him. Fauxbama’s “strongly support” level will stabilize at about 15-20% no matter what he does or how badly he does it,these folks will never ever admit he’s a failure.
As you say they are supporting their own bad judgement in that stand, not neccessarily Fauxbama.
BTW, on www.pollster.com, the latest WI governor race shows Walker (R) leading all three Dem candidates; and the OH gov. matchup latest is Strickland 44.5 to Kasich 38.7. The trendline for Strickland is down, down, down. Two other similar polls are in that 5-6 point range. Given that he’s been out of the public eye for several years, except once in a while on Fox, that’s not bad at all for Kasich.
Yes Bush was savaged by the media, which affected his poll numbers. The maddening thing about Bush, however, was that he never attempted to defend himself or fight back against the savage attacks of the Left & its media. He didn't use the resources he had at hand to respond and clarify the facts to the American public. If he had, his poll numbers would not have been so low. Obama, on the other hand has the entire MSM, the Democrat party, and sheer power to manipulate the news and the facts. That his numbers are so low despite all of the help he has certainly speaks volumes.
Is it brown?
In the end, Bush did a few good things but created the foundation for OBOZO's election with his RINO liberalism.
“Somewhere, George W. Bush must be laughing his head off.”

I should be laughing for him, I told a lot of people more than a year ago that regardless of who won the election they would wind up wishing Bush was back in office. Most thought I was crazy. I can’t really laugh though, the truth hurts everybody in this case.
Perfect. The gump, all wee-weed up.
Yeah, I'll say it does. The fact that the American people can be so stubborn and opinionated, despite all their attempts at brainwashing must really throw them for a perennial loop.
In truth, they have only as much power as we are willing to give them, and we the unwashed are beginning to wake up to that ourselves. When normal, common-sense Americans are insulted at the town meetings by the likes of Pelosi et. al., it only makes the citizenry (who generally choose not to involve themselves in politics) hopping mad!
We see the American people as a whole being attacked by our own government. People are getting sick of being treated like children and lied to by those patronizing liberal elites who think they know what's best for us when the results show that they've driven this country right into the ground. The truth of that is starting to catch up.
right, he didn’t raise taxes yet. the bush tax cuts didn’t expire yet.
hoosiermama got off the best line:
“Obama’s numbers are falling faster than Clinton’s pants.”

And thus, another classic line enters FReeper Folklore.
Good one!
