Dismal poll numbers for Obama in PA
Morning Call ^ | August 19, 2011 | Colby Itkowitz

President Barack Obama, who political experts say will need a win in Pennsylvania to retain the White House, dipped to 35 percent approval among the state's registered voters, according to a Muhlenberg College poll released Friday.

The results come on the heels of a bad week in polls for Obama that showed him first dropping to 39 percent nationwide in Gallup's daily tracking poll. Then another set of Gallup results Thursday showed only 26 percent of Americans approve of how Obama is handling the economy.

These numbers are a huge blow to Obama who won the state handily in 2008, and a significant drop in just a few weeks from when Quinnipiac University polled Pennsylvania voters and found the president with 43 percent job approval.

Agreed. They day will come when he looks fondly at the 35% approval rating in PA and wonders how he can get it back.

I would love to see a table that shows the correlation between those who favor Obozo's job performance and the amount of federal income taxes they paid last year. My guess is that anyone smart enough to hold a job thinks this guys stinks while those who leech off society without making a contribution see him as the Second Coming and are the only ones on the planet stupid enough to think he's done a good job. It's amazing to me that they can fog a mirror without help.

Never underestimate the potential of a thug for larcenous thuggery.

Every RAT in Congress hanging onto Zero’s coat tails are TOAST as well. To idolize the False God and vote with “The One” is to go down the toilet with him. Every single slime that voted “yes” on DeathCare must be exposed for what they are and voted out. DeathCare “must” be dismantled and destroyed ASAP.

Better late than never I guess.

A decade from now nobody is ever going to admit having voted for this clown.

Peggy Noonan in today’s WSJ was wondering if Obama has given up. I think he has. A great name for his bus tour was “Driving Mr. Lazy”.

Don’t forget the Maine Rino who allowed it to come to a vote in the Senate. It could have been stopped there.

These numbers are fine, but useless. It is a snapshop right now.

Obama knows the only way to win is to demonize his opponent so people hate her/him more than they hate Obama.

With the help of the media, this will be a close election.

I played golf yesterday with three union guys, two are retired, the working one is the son in law of one of the retired guys.

All three voted for obama in '08.

The younger worker against his father in laws wishes brought up the subject and said straight out he wouldn't vote for obama again, his father in law disagreed but the other retired guy said he too was done with that dumb n.....

These three are life long members of the Steamfitters and Plumbers Union and are as solid demonRATs as there are, and when they may have voted against the demonRATS, they never spoke out about it in front of an "outsider".

I would believe that this is happening all over the state given the poll results today.

Can you say "LANDSLIDE"?

We can't take it for granted, but if we get a good, conservative candidate, Palin, Perry or Bachmann {in any combination} and work our butts off, and vote three or four times like the law allows the demonRATs and illegals to do, we might see a landslide.

Normally, i would agree that he is toast, but
I’m concerned about him giving 30 million illegals
amnesty and the vote in the next
few months. Stopping deportations and
encouraging DREAM ACT is just the beginning.

So Left wing QU as usual has their Dem polling 7-8 % higher than reality.

QU had Gov Rick Scott losing on election day by 7 pts!
When you see QU take 8 pt from the Dem right off the top!

That would just piss off his unemployed union construction workers more than they are now.
