President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in his term.
President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in his term.
The new low comes as Obama enters the home stretch in his push to enact his signature initiative, an overhaul of the nation's health care system, and escalates America's involvement in the Afghanistan war.
Below are comparable ratings for other presidents since Gallup began taking presidential approval polls in 1938:

This number is as artificially high as the unemployment rate is low.
Not low enough. Not by a light-year. I’ll be satisfied when it’s under 20%.
Obama’s plummeting poll numbers are due to.....RACISM!!

When the left complains that Bush’s numbers were higher only because of 9-11, keep in mind that Bush’s numbers were higher than Obamas even before 9-11

What is really getting Gibbs and the rest of the obamarats is that BO’s popularity is dropping like a dog turd in spite of the old media doing everything in their power to support his marxism and his incompetence.
Saying he is “lowest” is racist and a hate crime.
LOL
Boy, 2010 is gonna be a bloodbath if this keeps up.
*snicker*
You must realize that he is the last black president
The Racism will continue for at least 50 years
The interesting one in this list is Reagan at 49 percent. Reagan was elected in Nov. 1980 and inherited a bad economy. The first two years 81-82 were bad and 1982 was the low point. But during this time, Reagan cut the tax rates and got them through Congress. The economy started to turn around in the first quarter of 1983. The rest is history. I think his ratings were higher because people intuitively agreed with lowering tax rates.
What Hussien is doing is completely opposite of what Reagan did. Plus, there will be NO recovery in 2010. There is NOTHING that Hussien has done or is doing that will help businesses grow and hire people.
Yeah...but I'm not getting too excited yet. The American people have a short memory. Reagan at 49% (within the statistical MOE of BHO) got re-elected in a landslide...and GWB at an all time high barely got re-elected.
Of course...Reagan was taking the country in the right direction...as opposed to dear leader. This should at least begin to halt the agenda somewhat...although the EPA deal hints that there no signs of it...
Okay, I live in Silicon Valley and I can tell a whole lot of people are not drinking the Cooool-Aid anymore and wondering what’s going with Barry O.
I am sure the pollsters are using a box of crayons to write their report, as there is no way Barry O. has an approval rating of 47%.
