PRINCETON, NJ -- Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, hit 10.3% in February -- up from 9.8% at the end of January. The U.S. unemployment rate is now essentially the same as the 10.4% at the end of February 2010.

GOFORTH and SPREADIT
sounds like a lawfirm.
Yep. Thanks!
Underemployment is at 19.9 percent. And Obama is saying we are at 8.9%
Then yesterday that was taking down off of Drudge and he has an article Titled,"FEB. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE: 8.9%"!
I'm surprised he took the Gallup article down and which one is the correct number? Why not keep both up side by side?
Yet near half the American public still support Obama.
I rather suspect at this point that we could fall into another Great Depression, get mired in WW3, suffer a great plague, etc, etc, and 45-50% of Americans would still strongly or somewhat approve of BHO. This is a good indicator of how far we’ve fallen as nation - and will continue to fall if minority populations keep growing rapidly and supporting the Democratic party in the numbers they do now.

Revelation says basically the same thing.
The Rabbid Union rebellion in Wisconsin reminds
of the story of Soddom and Gomorrah. Though
struck blind, the deviant Soddomites continued
to claw at Lot’s door, lusting for sex with the
angels.
How do you reason with people who cannot discern
their own blindness?
Kinda like Roosevelt?
Where’s that recovery we keep hearing about?
Voters can see through this nonsense now; they’ve had reality punch them in the mouth, and they keep taking shots. Nobody believes Obama’s media, and they’ll continue their death spiral as he continues his.
So, tell me more about this property on Europa...
: )
I don’t believe any of those approval polls; I work with too many people who supported him who are disgusted, angry, embarassed, and worse off financially than they were 30 months ago. His approval rating must actually be below 25%; even his black supporters are taking a beating like other Americans. Even if people don’t hold him responsible for ruining the economy (at least 3 prior presidents had a hand in that as well), he isn’t helping it; people are just tired of his used-car-salesman grin while he lies about “first green shoots” of recovery. At the same time, we have “the next Jackie O” (his fat-assed wife) lecture us about our diet so we can prepare for our own Khmer Rouge green revolution.
I can’t believe the Dems (or their donors) will let him run; he won’t get through the primaries, though they’ll probably have a face-saving excuse (like he needs to go on pilgrimage to Mecca).
Thanks Clintonfatigued. Obama lied again.
I'm sorry, but ignoring the polls is a fools errand. ALL the polls aren't wrong. Even Rasmussen, whom tries to be as honest and transparent as possible and even used only a likely voter sample (which usually benefits Republicans) routinely shows Obama at between 45-50% approval (47% just today). Taken together (you can use the RCP average for this) the polls generally point to the same thing - near half the nation still approve of Obama.
The people you work with is just anecdotal evidence, and not the kind of thing you should be using to gauge public support. You mention his black supporters must be growing weary of the bad economy, but the evidence doesn't show this to be true. He has massive support from the black community, and surprisingly high support amongst the Hispanic community as well.

Your just dreaming if you believe this. Obama will absolutely be the Dem candidate in 2012, and it is likely he won't even have a serious primary opponent. Worse, he will be extremely hard to beat.
That was the point of my comments in this thread. Despite the horrible economy and Obama's awful record of job losses - he STILL has a strong well of support. The problem is, the demographics in this nation have changed rapidly under our feet. The Democrats and Obama will continue to bleed white voter support, but minorities represent the fastest growing voter demographic - and Republicans are losing those groups in massive numbers. If the GOP consistently lose the Hispanic vote the way we lose the black vote (90% against us), it will be increasingly difficult to win statewide and national races. Look what happened in Nevada for example. Harry Reid actually won re-election - and by a pretty large margin (5 points as I recall). Why? Hispanics. Same thing happened in Colorado. Buck lost because of Hispanic voters.
The polls simply can't be ignored. It's one thing to say a specific poll is bad as some most certainly are, but ALL the polls more or less point to the same thing - Obama is still supported by around 45-50% of the American people.
I agree. I do not trust obamma’s government at all.
LOL!
You try to tell them their automatic votes for Democrats will ensure they get nothing but lip service and they just won't budget. Everything is Republicans fault. They don't realize if the parties don't have to compete for their votes, they'll have no power over the elected officials. They've made themselves slaves to the Democratic Party.
It's sad, disgusting and precisely why the Dems support illegal immigration - the larger a permanent underclass they can have the more entrenched their power. With their grip on cities, they'll continue to dominate states a risk they'll dominate national elections as well.
Thank God the Constitution as amended for Presidential term limits after FDR but, sadly, not before. We could be in Clinton's 5th term now. Although, honestly, it's hard to believe he'd have done worse than Obama.
In the old days Drudge would’ve left them side-by-side. I don’t know what he does these days or if he’s even still directly involved in the site.
20 months into Obama's "recovery" and under his own record-keeping he's move unemployment a whopping 0.5%.
20 months into Reagan's recovery and he'd moved it down 3.3%-from 10.8% to 7.5%!
I guess we’ll see how it plays out; as a resident of NJ, where Christie beat the Dem machine (in a state where it is very strong) without having to bow to lib groups, I think the angst of voters is seriously under-reported. Even without the 2010 mid-term results, the earlier wins in MA (where the Repub ran as an outspoken opponent of Obamacare), NJ, and VA portended serious trouble for Obama and his agenda: 2 of those states he had carried by 10+ points a year earlier, while VA he had carried by 5+ points.
I guess that is where my skepticism comes from.
