I imagaine it will only get worse now that he’s trying to shut down free speech.

I like the approve number I see on the “independents.”

Zeroboy has zero chance of convincing the non-believers with his bullying Chicago tactics and empty Suit approach to discourse (meaninglesss (zeroish) discourse, empty slogans, and banal catch phrases)

He actually hit -11 a few days or a week ago. But what’s most significant is that his strong approval number is all the way down to 31%. But his disapproval numbers aren’t rising much, on the other hand. That might suggest that independents who have abandoned him have already reached the limit and his disapproval won’t rise much more. I hope that’s not the case.

The sooner the honeymoon ends in a bitter divorce, the sooner the republic can be saved.

These townhall meetings are not improving Obama’s approval rating. Because the truth is getting out.

Not very fast though. The strong approval drop is what is leading the negative numbers. I’ve been watching his index daily for about 3 weeks now. His approval has dropped noticeably more than his disapproval has increased, although both numbers are moving in the right direction.

The union thugs aren’t helping. That wasn’t necessarily the change people expected. The MSM is stuck on stupid with everything being about racism. The only people that believe that are the liberal racists.

Would make an excellent tagline, GoPM.

Also, in the same article, it mentioned Corzine falling behind Christie by 13. However, NJ voters are fond of flirting with dumping dems in the summer only to curl up at their feet come election day. We’ll see if this year is different.

Frankly with the crapola he’s pulled in the last two or three weeks especially his poll numbers should be -20 or -30!!!

Boy the American people are stupid for electing this guy.

Good. The total “disapproves” are back to 50%. That’s all I look at are the “real” numbers, and they’ve moved steadily down until last week, when they hit a plateau. Let’s hope this is a new trendline.

The passion approval index has flucuated a bit for the past few days. The Messiah’s overall approval ratings have remained stable, +50 / -50.

He hit -12 as the lowest at Rasmussen. I don’t know why it jumped back up to -8 so quickly. People seem intimidated by the creep and aren’t using their noodle. Either that or they are so busy trying to keep food on the table they aren’t thinking about politics.

Rasmussen last fall always said his numbers on Obama were remarkably stable ( I don’t remember exactly what they were). It seems there’s more volatility now.

31% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President.

10-11% of that is probably black voters

I would think that as more images of SEIU/ACORN thugs infiltrating town hall meetings, 0bama’s approval will drop even further. In the shorter term, this is going to bury Congressional dems. Hopefully they are going to pay the price in 2010.
