Rasmussen Reports, which has been tracking President Obama’s job approval numbers ever since he became the President, released shocking numbers today.
President Obama’s job approval has dropped to historic low of 42%.
Yes, only 42% of American voters say they approve of President Obama’s performance. An overwhelming majority of Americans, 57% of them, disapprove of the job President Obama is doing.
Yet another index that Rasmussen has been tracking is called the Approval Index. This is the difference between the percentage of voters who “Strongly Approve” of the job the President is doing, and the percentage of voters who “Strongly Disapprove” of the job the President is doing.
Rasmussen found that only 24% of American voters “Strongly Approve” of his job, while 44% “Strongly Disapprove”. This gives Obama a huge negative approval index of -20.
These numbers should be extremely worrisome to President Obama.
These numbers should be music to the ears of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton.
Sarah Palin is fast emerging as the “Heir to Ronald Reagan”, and is one of the top favorites to win the 2012 Republican nomination. Conservatives see her as the “Next Ronald Regan”. Sarah Palin should be fastening her seat belts, given the downward spiral of Obama’s job numbers; she stands a good chance to move to the White House in 2012.
The Clintons may be rejoicing too, looking at Obama’s pathetic approval numbers. You never know, Hillary may challenge Obama in 2012 Democratic primaries. After all, Hillary lost the 2008 Presidential bid by a razor thin margin. After all, even Republicans would agree that Hillary would have made a better President than “Incompetent, Inexperienced Chicago Thug” Obama, any day, and any night.

Karma, baby, karma.....
or
Drop baby drop....
It’ll be really interesting to see if Hillary runs a primary on him.
I’d like to know how to deport the 42%.........
It’ll be really interesting to see if Hillary runs a primary on him.
She might not have to. The bastard might just declare he won’t run again.
Member of a well-known political family running a primary challenge against a sitting president? That sounds familiar ...
this number must have come from before his hated speech?
I predict if Hillary does run, Sarah Palin won’t.
Except humblegunner. The only thing he is deserving of is a good dose of sailors' style profanity.
I still think Obama is going to crack up and be lead from the White House by men in white coats
He has ‘temporarily’ angered some of his base. The environmentalists who aren’t tuned in to the ‘benefits’ of the oil spill are angry. They will bounce back when they hear the talking points about what good it will do in the end for Odumbo to have gone golfing while the Gulf filled with oil.
I think it was George Will who said he would rather be governed by the first 100 names from any random page of the phone book than by the entire faculty of schools like Obambi’s
:-)
Humblegunner Limbaugh 2012
Scary that there are that many brain dead people out there. He shouldn’t have 12% approval let alone 42%. Of course, in a sane world, we wouldn’t have this problem as our 44th in the first place.
Like Saul (Acts 9:18), the scales are starting to fall from the eyes of more and more people.
How come?
I enjoy yelling in the privacy of my car whenever I see an Obama sticker: “Take the d@mn thing off, you’re embarrassing yourelf!”
His fumbling of the Israel situation would give Hillary perfect justification for resigning. Like Palin, she’s got her ticket punched, why suffer the humiliation of serving under a babbling idiot when she could start preparing to run against him in 2012.
The rising popularity of “Mama Grizzlys” Palin, Fiorina, and Haley is something that I’ll bet is not lost on Hillary and her supporters. There’s a decent argument to be made that women are though of as better “fixers” and “cleaner-uppers” (no sexist shot intended) than men. I don’t think Hillary will be content to stand idly by as part of a failed administration only to watch another woman take a leading role in the opposition party in 2012.
