Even the Poor Are Abandoning Obama, According to Gallup Poll Data
cnsnews ^ | Friday, August 13, 2010 | Terence P. Jeffrey

In every week of his presidency until now, Barack Obama has enjoyed a majority approval rating in the Gallup Poll from people earning less than $2,000 per month. But that changed in the Gallup survey conducted from Aug. 2-8, when only 49 percent of Americans in that income bracket said they approve of the job Obama is doing.

This marks the first time since Obama was inaugurated on January 20, 2009, when Americans in all four of the income brackets reported in Gallup’s weekly survey of presidential approval gave Obama less than 50 percent approval.

For the week of Aug. 2-Aug. 8, only 42 percent of Americans earning $7,500 per month or more said they approve of the job Obama is doing. Forty-four percent of those earning between $5,000 and $7,499 said they approve of the job he is doing. And forty-six percent of those earning between $2,000 and $4,999 said they approve of the job he is doing.

The higher the income bracket an American occupies, the sooner he or she was likely to stop approving of the job Obama was doing and the more likely he or she was to stop approving of the job Obama was doing.

All of it’s going to Obama’s corporatist and Chicago Machine cronies . . . well, the money that’s not being funneled to Soros/”progressive” front organizations.

Could it be even the poor realize that at the current rate of handouts they are getting, they now see the spigot will run dry sooner rather than later?

Obama will read that and say that more money has to be taken from those who work hard and given to those who like the money, and out of gratefulness vote democrat.

I was a little surprised at this video sent to me earlier today... It is Obama admitting in front of a group that he was born in Kenya...

Here is the link:

A lot of poor folks had just a lot of hope that their lives were actually going to change with the immaculation of President Obama.

I remember their excitement the day after the election, and the joy they exhibited on the day of his inaugaration.

Considering the fact that he hasn’t changed their lives so far, and doesn’t look like he will anytime soon, I can see where they are crestfallen, they were really anticipating something else than what was delivered.

If the GOP does not romp then impeach over BC - then the middle class will be wiped out in the next 2 years.

I wonder if word of Michelle’s Spain-on-$75,000-a-day romp has reached even the lowest income bracket?

That is interesting. Too bad the sound is so bad...maybe someone around here can amplify it.

The scary part is 49% still approve of him.
