Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, rapped by the White House for pledging to make Barack Obama a one-term president, seems to have the support of a majority of Americans. A new poll provided to Whispers says that 56 percent of likely voters want the president fired.
According to pollster Doug Schoen, whose new poll shows vast support for the Tea Party movement among voters, the president is still liked by about half the nation. In fact, more like him personally than like his policies. Some 48 percent think he's a nice guy, while just 42 percent approve of his job performance.
But that personal favorability doesn't translate into re-election support when voters are asked if Obama deserves a second term. Says Schoen: "Despite voters feelings toward Obama personally, 56 percent say he does not deserve to be re-elected, while 38 percent say he does deserve to be re-elected president." Worse, Schoen adds, "43 percent say that Barack Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, while 48 percent say Bush was a better president than Obama has been."

Still, the president has a shot at re-election, according to the poll of 1,000 likely voters taken October 18-24. Schoen found that a slight majority, 51 percent, favor a third party in American politics and if that were the Tea Party, then Obama would win in a three-way race in 2012. According to Schoen, if the race pitted Obama, Republican Mitt Romney and Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin in 2012, Obama would top the others with 40 percent; Romney gets 32 percent and Palin 17 percent. And, in a bit of bad news for Palin, if the Tea Party candidate were Mike Huckabee, he and Romney would split the non-Obama vote 24 percent-24 percent.

Other highlights in Schoen's poll presentation:
-- 54 percent say the Tea Party has been a good thing for American politics.
-- Voters favor Republicans over Democrats on a generic ballot 48 percent to 39 percent.
-- The Democratic attack on special interest money helping Republicans isn't having much of an impact.
He ruined the country with a friendly supportive congress.
He is going to be a vindictive and dangerous scary out-of-control dictator maniac on his own.
A lifetime is 814 more days. (I'm not counting, no siree, nope not me)
I want him fired out of a cannon.
It has some meaning to what’s going to happen next week. Being this unpopular means a real disaster for the Dems next week. Make no mistake, Obama is on the ballot next week.
If we can't impeach him because he's half white, then we're playing the race card. Best let America go bankrupt. Best let Americans be known as stupid and PC. Best let America be known as a country that is selfish and doesn't care for the future of their grand children. All this just because a dude is half colored. Let's all be extremely polite while we sink deeper into debt, or end up in jail for not being rich enough to pay the extra fake taxes. Don't you think half the world is laughing at us already?
Nevermind that this golfer is a usurper who cares nothing about us. If I were to look at obama as a half B/W man and use that as a reason to keep him in office, I'd say that all B/W are crooks. Would this be the right thing to say? no. Obama is a person. He's a jerk. He's an adult. He's squatting in the white hut. He should be judged by his character.
Why wouldn't the world cheer us for taking down this man because of what he does and ignore his color? Shouldn't we set an example?
This race thing is so stupid.
Did people really believe all that crap about him? I only know one person who did.
Yes. That was beautifully stated and very true.
I'm with you. And it's not impossible that SCOTUS might rule on his eligibility, but I'm not sure of the time frame.
I would prefer for Zero to be hanged, the tradional sentence of all cowardly traitors.
I hope so. ;)
Enter Bloomberg.
48% of the nation thinks he’s a nice guy even if he is a sneaky, lazy, lying, full of himself SOB.
We’ve got a major delusion here.
He’s condescending, the smartest guy in every room, better at living than everyone else, compulsive liar, arrogant, malignant narcissist, American hater, Marxist wealth re-distributor and a USDA Top Choice A-hole.
What’s not to like?
Sadly as do I. i live in upstate NY, dangerously close to Ithaca. Lots of lesbian Obama Supporters and weak in the wrist college attorney in training liberals. I so want to get out of this state. Just had a discussion with 27 year old “Mr. Educated” on global warming the other day. Of course he believes in the hoax.
Most people say they like him b/c they don’t want to be perceived as racist. There’s also a percentage there that will always be “my race, right or wrong,” you know, the OJ Simpson supporters.
Excellent post (see my tag line)
We are in the world and the lying left are the hand maidens for evil.
They work for the Original Liar.
They have given themselves over.
We battle not with flesh and blood....
