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.

“I predict if Hillary does run, Sarah Palin won’t.”
I don’t know...this Hillary voter just might have to vote for Palin....*ahem* a second time....if they ran against each other! Surely, I can’t be the only one!=)
Their day will come...as my grandfather always wisely said..."The bigger they are, the harder they fall." The Obama's crash from being idols will be a very loud, big one.
You are correct. It'll probably sink lower. He won't even get a dead cat bounce out of that lame address.
William F. Buckley Jr.
Why in the world would you think that?
Do the limbo now, Barry. How low can you go?
Somehow I doubt that would sway her decision at all.
Freakin' Squids. Feh.
Bill Buckley said it, too.
“It’ll be really interesting to see if Hillary runs a primary on him. “
We could easily survive four years of hillary while she runs the democrat party into the ground. I am not sure about another four of mr. teleprompter.
>President Obama’s job approval has dropped to historic low of 42%.<
.
Why should a fraud even care about approval ratings? He swindled the country once, and he knows he can do it again.
Just ask Congress.
I always give 0bama stickers the one finger salute.
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!”
I try to get their attention and hold up my “FUBO” sign. One lady smiled; another started to flip me off and almost rear ended the guy in front of her.
I look for Hillary to resign after November once the loser 0bama is exposed to all by his losing his political power. She will label him the destroyer of the Dem party and she needs to bring it back.
Just a gut feeling. But seems like professional courtesy and respect that would stop Sarah from running against Hillary.
Of course, we all know Hillary is about power and wouldn't care who she runs against.
I regret not walking up and congratulating the guy........
It was Bill Buckley who said that.
It was Bill Buckley who said that.
I can see Obama now...
..."Hillary, we have a myriad of foreign policy issues I'm going to need you to handle...
...for the next few MONTHS I'm going to have you travelling the globe..."
