I also mentioned this on a weekend thread - the marxist will become even more dangerous now and push his communism harder & faster.

Well c'mon, his approval numbers are either going to go higher or lower.

I'll take lower. It might not change Obama's actions, but it'll certainly have the attention of many congresscritters.

This week will be interesting. Unhappiness over ObamaCare being rammed down people’s throats may be his undoing.
++++++++++++++++

And the RATS undoing. Whether is passes (we PRAY not and let’s call, fax and email Snowe, Collins, Lieberman, Nelson, et al), or not, they are being hammered for NOT LISTENING to the American people.

I wouldn’t be too hard on your brother. There was a time in the far distant past when I supported Carter for president. I was terribly young and naive at the time. That one mistake taught me a lesson and turned me hard right since. I hope there are many first time voters and twenty-somethings who are learning from their own generation’s big mistake in 2008. Sometimes you have to suffer in order to learn.

The lower they go, the more of a lame duck he’ll be. The first lame ducker in under a year! Could it be?? Mebbe he’ll come slightly to the center, in which case their radical agenda will whither, or he won’t, in which case the day of reckoning next November will be a complete and utter SMACKDOWN.

The next time that Gibbs or some other Obama acolyte talks about Obama’s mandate from the election, I hope someone points to the polls and asks, does 44 % approval give you any kind of mandate?

[SeattleBruce]

That is true. That said, there’s a HUGE mess to clean up...this deficit is unreal and will affect our economy for decades. Good thing many families are finally taking their own debt seriously. There are moderating influences to this madness - especially if we can slow down, no, stop this socialist/commie wrecking ball.

+++++++++++++++

Forget about Gibbs, he’ll start drooling (without knowing it) and talking about crayolas and 6 year olds...how dignified for the WH press secretary...maroon.

But this will be a good argument with rank and file libs we might be conversing with (if there are any of them left in your life!)

[SeattleBruce]

Wasn’t GWB’s low around 38% ?
+++++++++++++++

32 in Rassie (June 2008) and 25 in Gallup (10/2008).

I do know some rank and file libs. They are doing what the hardcore left always does. They are ignoring reality and think everything is great in the Obama administration.

[1951Boomer]

Must be the “new math.”

[SeattleBruce]

a Fox analyst says only 47% of the 53% even ‘admit’ having voted for him
+++++++++++++

What that poster clarified this to mean was 47% admitted voting for him, while 53% actually did. So a 6% of the overall vote drop in acknowledging that (not 47% times 53% which would be only half of his supporters.)

So we’re seeing erosion among his voters, just not dramatic enough yet.

That’ll come.

Well, in reality, Zero has already hit that. Thanks.

I wonder what it would be if the black community was more objective...
************

If blacks based their opinion on something more than race and govt handout programs (the main reason they vote Dem to begin with), they’d probably split along similar lines as the rest of the country- close to a 50/50 split, give or take.

So, that would be a loss of half of their support, giving obozo a 40% approval.

[Canedawg]

I was looking at the 46% when i said 40%, so if it’s now at 44%, then he’d be at 38% if you subtracted half of the AA support.

[SeattleBruce]

They are ignoring reality and think everything is great in the Obama administration.
++++++++++++++++

Ignoring reality includes ignoring 15 million people out of work, and who knows how many that have fallen off the other end of the unemployment claims conveyor belt (i.e the real UR). Many of us here have been talking about the U-6 rate - 17+% underemployed, and that rate is higher given the above numbers of those not currently looking for work after their unemployment benefits ran out.

Yeah, they can ignore that reality right up to a Conservative Landslide in 11/2010.

[markomalley]

This measure, courtesy of Hawthorn, measures those who approve (even somewhat) versus those that strongly disapprove. The theory being that if this number ever goes negative, Ø will have sunk into the abyss from which it will be almost impossible to recover. The single day on this one is a +2...obviously the high strong disapprovals and the low approvals will have to be sustained for the running average to decrease significantly.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Yeah, they can ignore that reality right up to a Conservative Landslide in 11/2010."

And they'll probably say, how did that happen? I don't know a single person who voted for a republican this year.
