OBAMA = EPIC FAIL !
ROFL!
someone post that HA HA picture from the simpsons!
Actually anytime an incumbent polls below 50% it spells trouble, because they are a known quantity.
Yes, it is about time! I have to ask: why do you think NOW and not before?
And the unemployment rate has been well ABOVE 10% for some time as well..
In the 30’s is usually win an incumbent will be primaried.
Makes you wonder who the 39% are.
“If you voted for Obama the first time to prove you were not racist, vote against him this time to prove you are not an idiot.”
After America saw what a REAL American candidate looks like yesterday when Perry announced, Obama’s numbers are collapsing.

Scroll down a little to see high/low approval ratings for all Presidents from FDR onward.
He’s Back: Obama Takes to the Golf Course by Keith Koffler on August 13, 2011, 1:29 pm
President Obama went golfing today, heading out for the 18th time this year and for the 76th time in his presidency, but for only the first time in seven weeks, having somehow not gotten a round in FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JULY.
Obama had not been golfing since going twice on the weekend of June 25, the last of an incredible 13 weekends in a row that he had made it out on the links. It seems with the debt ceiling showdown and other matters, Obama actually HAD TO WORK WEEKENDS, causing him to miss some golf.
He will certainly make up for lost time starting Thursday, when he leaves for a ten day vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. He’s out today at the Andrews Air Force Base course with one of his usual posse, White House trip director Marvin Nicholson, as well as Marvin’s lucky brother Walter and someone named Grant Campbell.
I’m guessing that it will go to 35% by October.
The only election that 39 percent by the incumbant would have been sufficient to win the presidency is the 1912 election.
338 Wilson
135 Roosevelt
58 Taft
Wilson loses 10 states, but it’s not enough.
1912 was a crazy election year. Every other vote split (including Clinton in 1992), requires greater than 39 percent.
Most of those that support him, only support him because of the color of his skin and not the content of his character, such a shame when Americans had made so much progress in the area of race relations to go back to this failed scenario.
Sadly, I see them nearly every day.
Still to high, should be 29 %
People are either on the Govt teet or zombies.
Bbbut isn't he still BLACK?
Polls in politics are a little like stock prices: a big drop requires a much bigger percentage rise just to get back to where you were. The climb back up is generally a lot harder and slower to achieve.
Epic!
