print email share recommend (2) President Obama's approval rating has hit a new low of 46 percent, according to a FOX News poll released Thursday. An equal number -- 46 percent -- disapprove of the job he's doing.

Breaking down the numbers by political party shows how sharply split American voters are over the president's job performance. While 85 percent of Democrats approve of their party leader, 80 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of independents disapprove.

The president's average approval rating for his term so far is 56 percent.

Undoubtedly, the Dims got what they voted for.

Of course they’re too stupid to see beyond that.

46% of Americans are simply too ignorant to vote with anything approaching an informed decision, too stupid to think critically about anything they are told, and too parasitic to make a living off their own efforts.
These people are called “Democrats” and “Obama Supporters”.

They need to be allowed to naturally cull themselves into extinction.

Starting now. No more welfare, no more government unions, no more government jobs period.

Failing to do so is treating the cancer of invasive government with a combination of injected PCBs and voodoo, and we already have a metastasizing tumor that is 46% of our body weight.


Agreed and I love your posts...serious question, though:

Is Beck talking every day, Rush talking every day, Sarah touring every day, various true conservative senators and congressmen calling in to these shows every day, and you, me, and other Freepers gonna be enough to stop this runaway train?

Obama’s numbers remind me of the scene in the movie Apollo 13 where the crew closes the valves to try to stop the oxygen leak. The needle hesitates and then keeps going down, down, down.

Yes, and obozo is at the head of the Klan. He has driven a greater wedge between the races than I have seen in 50 years.

He is doing exactly what I expected him to do, be a drunk with power radical left defacto dictator.

This is going to be a lean Christmas season. We’ll see what people think about Barry after going through it.

By mid-January, this guy is going to be about as popular as a man that just rolled himself across a cow filled corral, then got on a bus

46% — Could I possibly be the only one surprised to see it that high still?

That, my dear, is the 13 trillion dollar question.

Unfortunately, my best analysis says "no".

But the good news is, when we emerge out the other end of this tunnel of doom, we're going to be collectivist-free, and humanity (what few of us remain) will experience a new Renaisance.

So in light of that, we win.

But the victory has a terrible price.

The new president on January 20, 2013 should begin his or hear inauguration speech with: “My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.”

He’s providing the leadership I expected - piss-poor leadership.

Hope your wrong on one part, right on the other...or right and wrong, or something like that. Sure wish I knew how we got to this place. I blame absolute power corrupts and power corrupts absolutely.

I expected him to be an ultra-radical Marxist completely incapable of understanding the way the real world works resulting in incredibly dangerous naiveté...

The appeasement president in inviting an attack on America and we just have to sit and wait. . . or do we?

"even as a majority of Americans says he is providing the kind of leadership they expected."

I was expecting a socialist, pandering, traitorous boob and it looks like I was 100% right. I guess I'm part of the majority!

100% of New Black Panthers polled say they support Obama as well. The numbers might have been lower, since whites approaching the poll were threatened with nightsticks.

Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday that despite advances, the United States remains “a nation of cowards” on issues involving race. “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, a nation of cowards,” Holder said in remarks to his staff in honor of Black History Month. His comments appear on a transcript provided by the Justice Department. “Even as we fight a war against terrorism; deal with the reality of electing an African-American, for the first time, as the president of the United States; and deal with other significant issues of the day, the need to confront our racial past and to understand our racial present, and to understand the history of African people in this country — that all endures,” the attorney general added.
