FOX News Poll: Obama Approval Rating Drops to New Low
FOX News ^ | July 23, 2009 | By Dana Blanton

Though Americans still blame former President George W. Bush for the ailing economy, Barack Obama faces dropping approval ratings amid doubts that he has a clear plan for fixing the economy.

A FOX News poll released Thursday shows approval of Obama's job performance at a new low of 54 percent. That is down from 62 percent in June.

By a wide margin, Americans think former President Bush is more responsible for the current state of the nation's economy (61 percent blame Bush and 16 percent Obama). And despite the trillions spent by the Obama administration to try to revive the economy, far more Americans blame Bush for the current size of the budget deficit: 53 percent think Bush is more responsible and 28 percent say Obama.

Frankly, I don’t know how they can find a sample where 54% of the people think this dufus is doing a good job. I think the polls are pushed.

BDS will continue to erode. The Kenyan’s numbers will continue to fall.

With any leadership at all, taking back the House in 2010 should be well within reach. Of course “leadership” and “GOP” have been mutually exclusive terms in recent years.

Expect that ratio to be reversed in the next 6 months, as 0bama finds himself no more able to get away with his usual whine of “But..but..it's Bush that did it”, and Americans start to hold him accountable and hold his feet to the fire, for the horrible economic ruination he's visited upon this country since he took power..

I sure hope you're right. I haven't turned my TV on in almost 3 months cause I'm tired of seeing or hearing about them.

I’d say only 51.2%* are that dumb.

The rest are mislead by a steady diet of driveby media BS, and too lazy to seek the truth for themselves.

*69.3 % of all statistics are made up on the spot, to server the purpose at hand.

...Americans think former President Bush is more responsible for the current state of the nation's economy ...

Expect Barney Frank to appear on the pol shows for a week or two in order to agree.

50% of Americans have below average intelligence. The other 4% are union lawyers, academics, or engineers for a health care IT firm.

More troubling is the fact 50% of Americans make less than the average income. Obama has promised to fix this.
