Johny Cash had a song “Ring of Fire”: down, down and the flames went higher.
"How low can he go?
The pressure should be on: REPEAL this abomination of a law! Keep saying it as the Rats are starting to jump ship.
Rasmussen still has Odumbo 5 points higher than any recent poll. What a bunch of spineless jellyfish they have become since their election prediction disaster.
The record was -26, established a week earlier. I have confidence that Zero can break that record with little effort on his part. (Anyone remember what was going on in August/September of 2011?)
Last time he was this low, was before he got RE-ELECTED.
Americans are much stupider than you think they are.
43% “Strongly Favor” Obamacare??
OK, a couple percent of the true hard left idealogues (with corporate health care).
The rest must be LIV’s (low info voters) who think they will get free healthcare. Sure, they’ll get subsidies for the premiums, but what about the high deductible? Whose going to pay for that? Oh, and the limited in-network ONLY Doctors (a few of which speak English) and second rate hospitals. (NY has 4 exchange options; all are HMO like with in-network care only; and many top flight hospitals are not accepting Obamacare patients).
Forget the other shoe falling; there is a whole bunch of shoes falling once people can actually see this disaster for what it is. Repeal is the only answer.
I sit in utter astonishment that this communist piece of crap is even close to 44%.
I wouldn’t rejoice.
An intelligent electorate would have his approvals MUCH lower than this.
He has been an abject failure at everything except destroying our economy, ruining our foreign policy, losing our allies, encouraging our enemies, engendering race and class hatred, further alientating God, devasting our medical system, and wrecking our Constitution.
EVENLY DIVIDED?! How in the HELL could ANYONE dispute the fact that the POS lied about his POS plan to destroy the healthcare system and 1/6th of the U.S. economy?! Further evidence that the demented and vile filth that prays at the alter of liberalism are, in fact, mentally ill and devoid of reason.
I can’t beleive this idiot got re-elected. His polls are traditionallty in the dumper EXCEPT FOR the few months around election day. Candy Crowley - check the transcript!
” - - - - Just 35% of voters believe the health care law is good for America, and 55% favor repealing the law, with 43% who Strongly Favor it. - - - “
How can there be more people “Strongly in Favor” (43 %) than there are those who believe it is “good for America” (35 %)?
One year after that date, in August 2012, during the run-up to the election I was self deceived to believe that Obama's improvement in the polls from his August 2011 low was an anomaly or the faulty technique of posters who are undercounting Republicans. My assumption was that people thought the way I did, that once a person had become disabused of the "hope and change" fraud he would never go back to supporting Obama.
I fully misunderstood the resilience of Obama with his base, I failed to note that there is a difference between approval in the abstract and choice between two candidates. Once Obama had and opponents, actually even before, he was able to demonize his opponent and, relative to that candidate, he was favored.
I further assumed that as people began paying attention to the election they would look at Obama's record and they would think the way I do and come to the obvious conclusion that the man was a radical leftist and dangerous for America. That kind of hubris is fatal in every general and in every campaign manager.
One more piece of evidence that the world does not think the way I do, the electorate will not vote the way I want even if the facts are explain to them, because my issues and my arguments are irrelevant to them. That does not mean I am wrong, it means that I had better find a good campaign manager with better skills for the next go round.
Not a bad idea for the entire Republican establishment to consider.
I used to follow this particular stat religiously. I believe this is the lowest it has ever been, but I could be mistaken.
Gallup has the Clown getting a four point (for him) positive swing...Approval UP two points, Disapproval DOWN two points.
Garbage. He should be at, the most, approval of 9%.
