Poll: President Obama approval on economy dips [CNN poll]

President Barack Obama’s disapproval rating has hit yet another series of new lows on his handling of the economy, the federal budget deficit and unemployment, a new poll shows.

Nearly two-thirds — 65 percent — of respondents to a CNN/ORD poll released Thursday said they disapproved of the president’s handling of the economy.

Voters also gave thumbs down to other aspects of Obama’s policies as they relate to the economy.

CNN found that 66 percent of respondents disapproved of Obama’s handling of the federal deficit, and 62 percent disapproved of his handling of unemployment.

All three figures for Obama’s handling of the economy, the deficit and unemployment are new lows in terms of CNN polling during the Obama presidency.

Since November 2009, a majority of Americans have disapproved of the president’s handling of the economy. The unemployment rate in America peaked at over 10 percent in October 2009 and has only dropped below 9 percent for two months since then. The unemployment rate for July stood at 9.1 percent.

Notice the Headline:

"Poll: President Obama approval on economy dips...

If it were President Bush or a Republican President it would be:

"Poll: President xxxx approval on economy plunges

This means people are saying “Obama sucks when it comes to handling the economy but I’m gonna vote for him anyway”. Why?

If hardcore Dems in Illinois are any indication, they would NEVER vote for an evil rich Republican. They would consider a third party candidate.

Obama's minions in the media have slaved like you wouldn't believe to produce the results of that poll. Please try to show a little more appreciation for their efforts, comrade.

What is the difference between an evil rich republican and an evil rich democrat?

These polls ALWAYS oversample Dems and undersample Repubs. I think his numbers on the economy are way worse and his election numbers similarly so.

Don’t believe these lying, in-the-tank, media clowns.

OR....

They lie about the numbers that Republicans are polling (by posting them far lower than they are) and of Obama’s numbers (by posting them higher than they are).

What do I win?

It is really quite simple. If you look at what Professor You Lie, Sheriff of Nottingham Timmy Gee and Professor Enema Ben have spent, it obviously was to small of an “Investment.”

So a large number of serfs who yearn for the return of feudalism want Professor You Lie to keep on making pretty speeches, and above all: INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF SPENDING so that the dictates of Keynesian Socialism can be fulfilled.

If the destruction of U.S. Treasure increases, the serfs will approve, and the Liberal Intelligentsia Elite ( L.I.E. ) Media polls will show that the obamanation has been stimulated.

Dems believe rich people like Warren Buffet and Oprah are good, but rich Republicans are evil and greedy. Not sure what their mental process is for making a distinction.

Who the hell are those 34% of people who said they approved? What planet are those people living on? You can’t put together 34% out of his campaign donor list and NY Times editorial writers.

“Dems believe rich people like Warren Buffet and Oprah are good, but rich Republicans are evil and greedy. Not sure what their mental process is for making a distinction.”

Republicans suggest that the Dems would be happier and more successful if they were more self-reliant. Such thoughts make them very uncomfortable.

I am starting to think Obama steps aside for Hillary in 2012 if polling doesn’t improve. The Democrats are not going to want to risk losing the chance at more supreme court appointments.

At Rasmussen, Obama is back to his all-time -24 nadir.

Wait. Is that a smear on Ralph's ethnicity?

The way this is heading Obama’s ratings may soon be as low as CNN and MSNBC...
