Gallup: Obama job approval surges (swings 10 pts. in 2 weeks; bad news for thinking Americans)
Politico, another Hussein cult worship center on the web ^ | 12/26/11 | B Tau

According to the latest Gallup tracking poll, more Americans approve of the job that President Obama is doing than disapprove for the first time since this summer.

The latest Gallup survey shows that 47 percent of Americans now say they approve of the way that President Obama is handling his job. This is a 5 percent improvement since the Dec. 16-18 Gallup survey and marks the first time the president's numbers have been in positive territory since July. The number of Americans who say they disapprove of Obama's job performance has fallen to 45 percent, down 5 points from Dec. 16-18.

His approval numbers have to be viewed in the context of the sheer numbers of people on the govt dole. All of them; whether they are public employees or entitlement dependents or even contract workers. Not to mention politically connected people in finance...the list goes on. They think Obama’s fortunes and theirs are One. When you understand this you realize how he can be reelected despite his performance during his first, and hopefully, last term. Absent this understanding, sending him back for four more years would be imponderable. No matter that on our current track we all go down, and no amount of fiat currency will buy his fellow travelers any security during a national economic implosion.

Having Mitch McConnell and John Boehner surrendering on your behalf also helps.

They view the silly two month SS tax reduction as a major victory - for no logical reason, except ‘he won’.

And no thanks to those evil Republican obstructionists, as the media has relentlessly hammered home.

The Republican party is at least partially to blame, due to its inability or unwillingness to get out front with its message. You would think it had been asked to defend the indefensible, and I just don't get it.

Skewed polls can be made to seem accurate using dead democrat voters, plus large numbers of democrat voters who get to vote multiple times.

I smell BS on this poll. A poll of “adults”, not even registered voters, taken over the holidays, and he still only gets 47%? What a joke. I would like to see the internals and breakdown by party affiliation - no doubt its loaded and skewed with democraps.

Can someone explain to me why our side (we here on Freep) are so gullible to believe the polls showing Obama beating every one of our candidates one on one? Do you stop to think the polls are biased and over sampled D, etc. ??? Why do you believe the sources??? Please listen to Rush and take a breather.

Rush correctly pointed out that this very thing would happen. IT’S AN ILLUSION...IT’S NOT REAL.

I’m focused on not even listening to this B.S. These stories are coming out for one reason: do dispirit us. Sorry, but if the Kenyan was doing this well, he’d be running on his record...not scorched earth.

DON’T GET DISCOURAGED...THIS IS COMPLETE AND UTTER BULL SH*T.

He is on vacation so no active destruction of individual liberty and freedom. That and people with very short memories who have forgotten how bad it was this quickly.

This is so annoying. Don’t pay attention to these daily polls. They are trying to stir the pot. Stay focused on the job at hand.

Congressional Republicans need a defense budget bill that includes body armor, UAVs, and the F35, and missile defense.

“Iraq is spiraling down.”

I hate to tell you this but after ten years of war, you will find it really hard sledding to get voters to give a crap about Iraq.

This administration and its supporters in the media is very good at fudging numbers - poll numbers, employment numbers, deficit numbers ...but it’s all fake, fudged, and not real fudge either. It’s complete and utter horse crap.
