Barbara Botoxer's aides should make her lie down before showing this latest SurveyUSA California Obama rating. Among students, his disapproval has hit 60%! That is going to help send Botoxer down the drain versus Fiorina as well as help a number of other seats.

Unfortunately, the young voters probably disapprove of him because he’s not left-wing ENOUGH. That’s why his approvals have gone down among democrats. It’s not that they’ve wised up to him, it’s that we haven’t turned into the Soviet Union fast enough for their liking.

The surprise in this poll is the negative rating among students and 18-34 age group. This isn’t the tea party demographic. Many of these oppose his position on don’t ask, don’t tell and his failure to stick with single payer health insurance. Don’t expect that low rating to extend to Boxer. They may also have a low opinion of the health care plan as young healthy people will be carrying the load for the old and infirm.

The encouraging result for Republicans is the high number of independents with a negative opinion.

Obamacare is the common denominator. Fiorina should make Boxer the deciding vote to pass the health care plan and tie it to her like the albatross.

Chart shows blacks have 80%/18% (approval/dis) while whites are 40/57, hispanics 47/47, asian 44/41. SurveyUSA indicates blacks comprise only 6% of adults while whites are 51% of adults and hispanics 28%.

The Black approval rate is at least moving downward. It is is 80%, which is the lowest I have ever seen it.

Blacks are realizing he ain’t no brother and that he’s making things worse for them and all Americans.

80% seems very high until you think that blacks vote 93% democrat. He’s lost a lot of points.

Of course, a lot of these are people that thought this brother was going to buy them a house and get their reparations from whites.

Meant to say “gay marriage”.

All of these Obama polls seem to have about 20% of conservatives having a positive opinion of Obama. I doubt that 1% of conservatives have a positive opinion of Obama and they reside in nut houses and aren’t available to respond to polls.

"Wow, man, like, you know, that whole Hope and Change stuff when I was a sophomore, was like, you know, smoke and mirrors and bait and switch and stuff, and we DON'T get jobs on graduation? Like, no waaaaay dude. Have to move back in with Mom and Dad? Like, bummer...."

Poor kids. How taken in by those satanic, socialist lies two years ago. Just like young kids all around the world on college campuses. I guess they have to learn the hard way.

Ya’ know what? If zero isn’t leftwing enough for the young/college people, then I’m GLAD they’ll be footing the bill for us over-50s! Let ‘em reap WTF they sowed.

Wild. Blacks approve of him even more than all liberals do. What are blacks and liberals seeing in him that reality isn’t?

Younger voters tend to be more idealistic, can be fooled once or twice, but are not so set in their ways as to become permanently self-destructive overall. Unemployment among young college graduates is at record highs. Voters of all ages tend to vote their pocketbooks.

I believe the younger voters are turning away from the empty promises of the left. We'll know in a few weeks.

Students have been trained to go for instant gratification. No gratification no vote.

not so much footing the bill as pulling the plug. Most of the last two or three generations have been raised on entitlement, parented out of guilt (not love; you poor, poooooooor, children of divorce. . .have a cookie), and narcissism.

They can’t WAIT to hasten their elders death to claim their fully anticipated and expected inheritances.

Obummer is a prime example of a person who was pitied and not parented. No expectations, no rules, no boundaries, no respect for adults/authority, no structure

. . .other than soccer lessons with their divorced, custodial parent, all american soccer “single” mom who has ferreted dad out of the children’s lives, only keeping his wallet in matriarchy sup. . .errr i mean “CHILD” support.

I know! In the black community the mantra is “my race, right or wrong.”

These numbers are remarkable, if accurate. Rasmussen had him with 56% approval just a month ago. The WSJ poll I just heard about this morning had him at a ridiculous 46% nationwide! If he is only at 45 in CA then in the rest of the country it must be lower. Maybe people are finally getting a little tired of the condescension and arrogance.

If the numbers are dropping in CA then it might be bad news for Boxer.

I heard on Fox yesterday, he's only 33% favorable in Ohio ...
