Obama Approval Rating Dips to New Low (CBS NEWS: Obama Down to 46%, Not Rasmussen, CBS NEWS)
CBS News ^ | Monday, January 11, 2010 | Kevin Hetchkopf

President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 46 percent, according to a new CBS News poll.

That rating is Mr. Obama's lowest yet in CBS News polling, and the poll marks the first time his approval rating has fallen below the 50 percent mark. Forty-one percent now say they disapprove of Mr. Obama's performance as president.

In last month's CBS News poll, 50 percent of Americans approved of how the president was handling his job, while thirty-nine percent disapproved.

Mr. Obama still receives strong support from Democrats (eight in ten approve of his performance), but his approval rating among Republicans is only 13 percent. More importantly, Mr. Obama's approval rating among independents has declined 10 points in recent months – and it now stands at just 42 percent.

Domestic issues – and not his response to terrorist threats - appear to be driving the president's approval rating downward.

Just 41 percent now approve of his handling of the economy, which Americans say is the nation's most pressing issue. Forty-seven percent disapprove. The president's marks on handling health care, with reforms still under debate in Congress, are even lower – just 36 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove. Both of these approval ratings are the lowest of Mr. Obama's presidency.

I'm beginning to think that as much as 35-40% of the country would be all in for a one-party socialist state, and have no use for the Constitution.

Probably not far off. The NEA has done its job--in the name of "education" it has created a nation of ignorant sheep.

The funniest thing I saw on tv today was CNBC Dodd and Gregg were on. Dodd said Obama is going to pivot and focus on the deficit once he passes heath care. Gregg replied..”It is hard to pivot after you have jumped off a cliff”.

That's hilarious! Thanks for sharing.

Just heard on Bill O. that they are ready to send out Mrs. O. so that her “magic” will rub off on Barry.

CBS has obviously become a racist organization.

Well, Bill O. did refer to her as Jackie O. in the White House. (rolling eyes)

Go to Google Images and search for the exact phrases “sinking like a stone” and “sinking like a rock.”

Yep.

“I want to see Couric if she has to announce it.”

LOL! We must share the same brainwaves. My very first thought when reading this was, “Katie-Cakes is gonna spend all WEEK pimpin’ this guy back up.”

...show Michelle walking the dog, 0bama hugging his girls and kissing his MIL, etc.

Bet on it. :)

More like Jackal O. I’m thinking of that hideous photo of her where it looks like she has fangs and is about to bite someone. Real charmer, that one.

It will keep going lower the more educated people become about Obama!

Excellent research on the Real Obama by FReeper Beckwith at the Obama Files Here

and at Discover the Networks Here

If the MSM hadn't covered up all this stuff before the election, he wouldn't be President. Time is on our side to get this widely disseminated so everyone knows this info, especially before November, 2010.

After I read the thread title, the “Hamster Dance Song” popped into my head.

Gallup has him at 49%. Given the utter mess he’s created this is an astoundingly high number.
