Gallup ^ | 8/14/2011 | Gallup

[tatown]

39% Approve, 54% Disapprove

[Matchett-PI]

Exactly. bttt

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s YOUR economy, stupid! Stop spending money. We’re broke. Keynes was full of s**t. That crap doesn’t work. The government eventually runs out of other people’s money.

[RockinRight]

I thought that was Robert Plant.

[Ladysmith]

Well, it seems the left have given themselves permission to reconsider if Hillary would have been a better choice so it’s not that surprising.

[editor-surveyor]

>> “Palin is not nutty like Perot was” <<

.
No, but Perry is.

He is determined to protect the NWO advances that Bush and Obama have accomplished.

[RockinRight]

Still, I’d prefer to see him <=35% by Election Day.

[353FMG]

He may not be a failure at all to his handlers but very successful indeed — one should first consider the purpose of his presidency.

[digital-olive]

Wow, that’s bad when Satan has a higher approval rating than the pres__ent.

[R0CK3T]

Thirty’s for Mr Zero!

Only the beginning.

Hey maybe he should double down and send Axelrod and his heckling 0bamanazi’s to the GOP leaders home to make speeches and abuse them verbally as they move about their lives?

Cuz, it apparently hasn’t done too much to help his cause when he had them descend on Iowa this week.

[McLynnan]

Nothing like continual hits in their pocketbooks to make the unengaged masses wake up and take notice. I wonder if the Dems will try to dump him.

[BenKenobi]

I do the numbers...

Wilson was invincible in the southern states.

To obtain a plurality, he needed just 33 percent of the popular vote (180 of 535).

Southern states + IN, MO, MD, KY were sufficient for him to win.

I still have to figure out Roosevelt and Taft though. It’s complicated. I’m assuming losses come with an equal distribution.

Wilson: 35 percent votes (-7)

Wilson: TX, LA, AK, FL, AL, MS, GA, SC, NC, VA, TN, + (IN, MD, MO, KY, CO, NE). 194 EC

Taft: UT, ID, WY, NM, OK, WI, OH, DE, NJ, NY, CT, RI, VT, NH, MA. 151 EC

Roosevelt: CA, WA, OR, PA, MI, MN, SD, ND, NV, AZ, KA NE, IA, IL, WV. 193 EC.

[jennings2004]

Thanks for your input....I am afraid some of my description would not have been that nice!

[fuzzthatwuz]

Bbbut isn't he still BLACK? "

Yep. That is why we will see more of the race card in direct correlation to poll numbers and public outcry over his failed policies. Pelosi and Reid have already started the whine.

[tcrlaf]

Look for Kerry, Hillary and even crazy old AlGore to be getting in the news more and more, the trend is their friend.....

John (Did you know he was in Vietnam?) Kerry has been getting A LOT of press lately, especially in the nutroots media.

I’ve been saying for a month they are setting him up to replace Biden as Obama’s VP. And his placement on the “Super-Congress pretty much has confirmed it for me.

[ScottinVA]

Great to see.. problem is, this poll often has some wild swings. Tomorrow it could be at near even. Where we`re finally beginning to see trends is the Rasmussen poll.. he`s been steadily at -20+ SA vs SD for several days. Hopefully this does signal an awakening of the public...again, hopefully.

[catnipman]

“0bama needs a bold new economic policy to drive these numbers back up. Raising taxes, that’s the ticket.”

Naw, he should raise the current 2011 1.2 trillion dollar deficit by another 1 trillion dollars for another “stimulous” program. You know, shovel ready infrastructure projects, extended unemployment benefits to create jobs, “investment” in unicorn and rainbow energy, uh, i mean green energy, “investment” to save union jobs in dying or dysfunctional industries, “investment” in new union jobs in supercalifragilisticexpialidocious battery plants in the rust belt.

Oh wait! They already did that! And it didn’t work! Just drove up the national debt. Oh, well. Let’s double-down and hope for change!

[RobertClark]

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.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! That is exactly why we are witnessing him begin to compare himself to MLK Jr. Very few of the sheep will question anything once he turns it into a referendum on race, at least that is what he is banking on.

[tcrlaf]

“Let me know when the AnointedIdiot’s numbers get below Bush’s cause then I can justly call it KARMA!”

Bush was in the 50-60% range at this point in his Presidency.
Don’t guess you will be seeing THAT on MSNBC.

[Colonel_Flagg]

They’re gonna have to dig up a 3rd party candidate to split up the opposition if he’s to have any chance.

Romney would do that job nicely.

[BenKenobi]

So 35 percent is the minimum, assuming that losses are equally distributed over the sample. Nebraska is the closest state that Wilson had to hold, and he won it by 14 points...
