This inverse relationship doesn't hold perfectly true -- Jimmy Carter had the fourth lowest approval rating; Kennedy and Eisenhower had the highest numbers, after the Bushes. But it does suggest that the year-out snapshot is not determinative.

Moreover, the president’s rating is not likely to go much lower. “We think this is probably the trough” for Obama, said Ed Reilly of Financial Dynamics, which conducted the Allstate/National Journal survey. “We don’t know if we’ve found the bottom but we’re near the bottom.”

So they're really saying that because Obamas numbers are so bad now, that at the end of his term he'll be in the pink.

Yes, we see now...

Hell Ed. Inflation hasn't even started yet, and the job market is going to get much worse once Obama let's the Bush tax cuts expire at the end of this year. Sounds more like wishful thinking from a guy who just had his poll contradict his personal beliefs than it sounds like reality.

By the start of the fourth year of office, ALL modern, elected presidents (i.e., since Roosevelt) have seen their approval ratings converge to within 1% of 53%.

I don't mean to be picky but it should be “affects” not “effects”. Just saying.

Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor Poll released Thursday had some heart-stopping numbers for Democrats:...

What they really mean is, heart-stopping numbers for their MSM supporters. Despite the support and complete absence of MSM criticism, Obama and Democrats are tanking. Just try to get your head around how shrill the MSM would be right now if this economy was occurring under Bush. Just think.

A Democrat in some story I saw pointed out an important fact that is missing from these stories.

It isn’t the size of Obama’s favorables or unfavorables that has the Dems worried. It is the size of Obama’s negatives combined with the INTENSITY of the negatives.

The people opposed to Obama oppose him with a passion unseen in the past, which means they will turn out in droves come election time.

That is what really has them worried in Mass. The intensity of those opposed to Obama means an ultra-high turnout of anti-Obama voters next Tuesday.

“Moreover, the president’s rating is not likely to go much lower.”

Not so. We need to remember that the politically correct whites will never admit to disliking obuma for fear of being called “racist.”

I believe a accurate number is what Rush mentioned yesterday, that if the election were held today only 37% would vote for obuma. That, I believe, is a more accurate number of where obuma stands.

I still believe obuma will surpass Lincoln’s most dubious achievement: become the most hated man of his time.

obuma will be the most hated American president of all time.
