Obama gets his opening grade (Gallup poll)

The Gallup Poll on Saturday released the first job-approval rating for President Obama, based on interviews during his first three full days in office: 68 percent.

Now that he’s in office, Obama’s approval ratings are starting to normalize, as partisan back-and-forth picks up. Just a week ago, Gallup found an astonishing 83 percent approval of how he has handled his transition, showing he had even won over most Republicans.

The new job-approval figure puts him at the upper end of opening poll numbers for presidents, but doesn’t set a record

After he wipes the sweat of work off of his brow in the Oval Office my guesstimation is it will be less than 50%

The only explanation is that everyone has gone insane and only 12% somehow have immunity to this obamanitis, a new, dangerous, and contagious disease.

So far I'll still stick to my 2/3 of Americans are brain dead. Hopefully as this nitwit empty suit progresses the balance will shift, but I still feel that a fool will never change because the years of brain washing.

I doubt the Dalai Bama’s approval ratings can fall below 40%, due to there being at LEAST that many black racists, white guilt lunatics, Marxists, Unionists, civil servants, welfare leaches and just plain dumb asses in America.....

83% -> 68% = 15%

1% per day drop.

At this rate, in just a little over 2 months, Michelle will be the only person on the planet who supports Dumbo. The next day, poof, she's on GMA saying that "This isn't the Barack I knew and loved"...

Years of brainwashing by the DBM and decades of teaching in the cesspools we call public schools.

And the AP has a story up right now claiming that Obama “avoided divisive partisan and ideological stands” in his first week in office. A laugh, until you realize that McCain and Graham are giving him the cover he needs by pretending to speak for the GOP when they agree with closing Gitmo and other Obama farces.

Sure. He flashes his pasty, scrawny chest and the media swoons and tells us we should do the same. The unthinking sheep think if they’re saying he’s good on the TV, it must be true.

And by “do the same,” I mean they think we should swoon for him. Not flash our pasty, scrawny chests. Heh.

They thought they were voting for American Idol.

The beauty of the pre-Inaugural 83% approval is that it eliminates any credible use of race. Not that he won’t try.

Obama's Poll Numbers Plunge 15 Points in First Three Days


News at 11.

If there had been a drop like that for anyone else the MSM would be gloating. (Yes I know the polls assess differing areas. Doesn't matter.)

Just wait until Vice President Joe Blooper mouths off some more! People will start to wonder, “Why did The Dear Leader pick this guy? He’s a total doofus!”

AP / Gallup LIES!

They did not poll me.

Obozo is a ZERO. (Actually a Negative 100)
