Obama's Worst Poll Number
Real Clear Politics ^ | Today | Jay Cost

Posted on 08/25/2009 10:30:07 PM PDT by dila813

Gallup's breakdown of Obama's job approval by age was illuminating.

First off, note Obama's drop-off among young people. Young people were supposed to be a critical component of the new Democratic majority. Granted their approval is still slightly higher than the other groups, but it has far and away been the most volatile, dropping more than any other. This should not come as a huge surprise. Baby Boomers were partial to McGovern in 1972, but swung around to Reagan in the 80s. Young people's political dispositions are still being formed.

He is becoming more and more Hitleresque each day.

Expect him to start pounding his fist on the podium any day now.

“I don’t understand how he still maintains an overall approval of 51%.”

No way. Those polls are cooked. If they’re claiming 51%, it’s more like 35%.

Glad you like it.

This is such a target rich environment that it’s almost TOO easy.

Share.

Do we have something with Barack looking more like a stunned mullet and less like he’s irritated that God has so far forgotten his “partnership in life and death” as to interrupt his feast?

These numbers are far from tanking. When he has the 30-64 crowd still in his corner, he can not only survive, but thrive.

Young people will be subject to the 2.5% Obamacare tax on their income if they don't have an "acceptable" healthcare plan.

There were 16 workers for every retiree in 1950; there are 3.3 now, and by 2030 it will be down to two workers for every retiree. And by 2030 one in five Americans will be 65 or older.

So it will be the young people and their children who will have their wages confiscated to pay for our huge entitlement programs and for our crushing national debt. Maybe some of them are waking up to what change really means.

I never noticed before in the Rembrandt "Deposition" how Christ's body slumps like . . . a dead weight. Brilliant.

Never liked Bosch, he always seemed to me both trivial and cruel (not to mention seriously disturbed). He reminds me of a Victorian painter, Richard Dadd, who was clinically insane and confined for life in a mental institution (Bedlam, and later Broadmoor, where he died) after murdering his father.
