Gallup: Obama's Approval Rating at New Low in Most Recent Quarter
Gallup.com ^ | October 21, 2010 | by Jeffrey M. Jones

His favorable rating and re-elect figures are also at new lows

PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama averaged 44.7% job approval during the seventh quarter of his presidency. His average approval rating has declined each quarter since he took office, falling by more than two percentage points in the most recent quarter to establish a new low.

Obama's decreased popularity is also evident in his favorable rating. For the first time, more Americans view the president unfavorably (50%) than favorably (47%), and his favorable rating is the lowest of his presidency.

Since his inauguration, positive opinions of him have declined by 31 points.

39% of Americans believe Obama deserves re-election and 54% say he does not. Earlier this year, between 46% and 48% of Americans said Obama should be re-elected.

With the midterm elections less than two weeks away, Obama's diminished public support means the Democratic Party is vulnerable to heavy losses in Congress.

Any day now it will be a Federal crime to talk about negative ratings for the Obama supreme leader.

If you disapprove, you’re a racist.

I wonder what his “approval” rating among black Americans is? 90%?

I hope he and they continue to use that line of “reasoning” -

the race card is SO worn out that people are really repulsed when they hear it used.

But, But, What about the 90% of the black vote that still approves of him? They’re not racists, because only white’s can be racists.

At least we don’t have to hear how much the American people like and admire President Bottle Rocket anymore. Not only has he done a miserable job, it turns out that a majority of Americans now realize that he’s a dud of a person as well.

It's not his fault. The reason voters disapprove is that they aren't paying attention. If they were Smart People™ like he is, and didn't cling to their guns, or religion, they would have more appreciation for his brilliance and his wise leadership. As soon as Democrats discover the Right Message to explain the spending, the debt, the ridiculously high unemployment, and what happened to the trillion dollars in "stimulus" money, Obama will once again be perceived as a god by his acolytes in the media.

Oh wait... he still is. Never mind.

Which makes me suspect of all these recent polls where the DEMS are gaining. I don’t believe it.

The problem is, we can't think clearly when we're scared -- we're hardwired that way. That's why we aren't understanding this President. The economic downturn is our fault because we don't think clearly, and because Democrats have not broken through the fear and frustration.

What a creepy picture! If you cover the lower half of his face, (no need, actually), his eyes look dead.

So if Gallup will cop to 44%, I wonder what it REALLY is.

It’s because the Lightworker is sooooo far ahead of the curve that he sometimes forgets to pick up the rest of us dullards.

I believe that is a single minded rage.
