CBS poll: 54% say Obama doesn’t deserve re-election
Hot Air ^ | DECEMBER 7, 2011 | Ed Morrissey

News of the CBS poll dropped while I was driving yesterday evening to Des Moines to cover tonight’s Republican debate, and in looking at the figures this morning, the White House has to be happy this came out on a Friday night. Despite a three-month strategy to claim the moral high ground through class warfare, not-so-coincidentally occurring with labor-backed protests in most major cities, Barack Obama’s approval numbers have not changed much at all. The latest CBS survey shows his job approval under water at 44/46, but that’s not the worst part of the poll results for the President:

Less than one year out from Election Day 2012, voters remain overwhelmingly pessimistic about the economy, and their concerns are taking a toll on President Obama’s re-election chances. Just 41 percent of Americans think Mr. Obama has performed his job well enough to be elected to a second term, whereas 54 percent don’t think so.

The president’s overall approval rating remains in the mid-40′s, according to a CBS News poll – lower than the approval ratings of Mr. Obama’s four presidential predecessors at this point in their first terms. Mr. Obama’s approval rating is dragged down by his poor marks for his handling of the economy – which, at 33 percent, is the lowest rating of his presidency in CBS News polls.

” - - - 46% admit they are too stupid to be trusted with sharp objects - - - “

The fact that 47 % pay NO personal Federal Income Taxes needs to be considered in our analysis of the poll numbers.

On that basis, 47 - 46 % = 1 % erosion of support for the Obamanator means that Obama still should win another looooooooooooooooong 4 years of Constitutional Destruction, and crippling Debt.

BTW, why not just Impeach his sorry ass now?

I cannot for the life of me understand why we have such pathetic candidates.

There was a book written about the 2008 election called "Game change", I never read it, but I am aware that several republicans (and their wives) did read it, and I know Michelle Bachmann read it.

From various statements, it basically says your life, and your familys life will be turned into a living hell.

“Trump will run as a conservative and split the R vote.”

Nonsense. Trump is focused on the same as most people on this forum.....Obama has to go.
