Congressional approval at 16%.
Obama had an unfavorablility rating of -10 (same as Rasmussen today).
Where Congress gets that 16%, I’ll never know.
The left hate it because it isn’t radical enough for them.
The right hates it because of it’s anti-American and anti-Capitalist moves.
Where does that 16% come from? What advocacy do they have, that Congress meets their standards?
I sure can’t think of who that group would be, unless ACORN employees.
30% are tuned out Obama cultists, hardcore socialists, other assorted malcontents who will never turn on him.
10% are those who think it's too "mean", "unfair", "racist", etc. to admit they don't like him. The other 5%, eventually, will wake up.
Imagine where Obama’s approval rating would be if every news network (save one), the entertainment industry and academia weren’t k*ssing his marxist arse 24/7.
He wouldn’t have an approval rating because no one outside of Chicago would, blessedly, have ever heard of him.
THAT 16 % ARE THE RACIST THAT WILL NEVER TURN AGAINST O NO MATTER WHAT.
Don’t forget that a certain percentage of Zero’s disapprovers are radical leftists that think Zero is going too slow, and they will never be our allies. We have a lot of work to do.
suprised it isn’t lower? I think they are pumping the numbers too high.
Those 16% are the ones that don’t pay attention.
more than 16% have no idea what “Congress” even IS!
My thoughts exactly. It would be truly remarkable if it went lower than 40%. I would be very encouraged then.
Do you think there would be one for which they'd blame him? See the thread today where the other networks are being warned they can be subject to the "Fox treatment" if they don't toe the line. Since most of those networks fall into the 30% I mentioned above, I just don't see them ever "turning on" BamBam regardless of what happens. They may pay some lip service to "concerns" in the public, but truly exposing and laying bare what this administration is doing? Never. And I include terrorist attacks in that assessment.
Overheard conversation time, last week. Two college-aged women. #1: How is that book? #2: It is OK. It is about the FBI or the military or something and how they brainwash Americans. (me, thinking: Um, FBI or military, she doesn’t know?). #1: Oh, what is that word that means opposites? #2: What word? #1: I forget, two words that are opposite in meaning like military and intelligence (me, thinking: um, oxymoron, you moron!!). #1: Oh, I don’t know. (They left, one had a “Obama: Isn’t it time?” pin on her backpack.)
LOL. Just the kind of intellects a slogan like “Yes We Can!” would appeal to.
How valid are these online surveys? Are they as good as Rasmussen's automated calling or phone surveys for example?
Unions would support anyone who promises to protect and even grow them. Demrat and RINOs do that.
