WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama's job approval rating, weighed down by soaring gas prices, has plunged below 50 per cent, giving his political opponents what appears to be an opening in the November election, a new opinion poll showed.
The survey by ABC News and The Washington Post indicated that only 46 per cent of Americans now approved of the way Obama is handling his job and 50 per cent disapproved.
The situation was a reversal from early February when 50 per cent approved of the president's performance and 46 per cent disapproved.
According to the survey, the drop was attributed to soaring gas prices threatening to crimp America's slow recovery from a recession.

I’m doing my part to HELP it plunge...
Every time I go to the pump, I make it a point to bring up the gas price to the person(s) standing nearest me, and then add “it wasn’t this expensive when HE got elected”, followed by “the damned price would’ve dropped if Obama hadn’t killed the Keystone Pipeline and domestic drilling.”
It’s fun, this “community organizing” thing...just “giving something back” for all he’s done for the country....
Chicago media reports the gas price increase but no tie to the “Obama administration.” Every negative thing they could come up with was always tied to the “Bush Administration.” Now Obama’s FEMA has denied federal help for the tornado victims in southern Illinois. They mostly vote conservative anyway. Heard on local talk radio this morning that there are now a record number of homeless children, yet no one asks the “Obama administration” about it. The only way he will lose is if people are being directly and personally affected, like with high gas prices. Anything else will be ignored or justified in the media.
Wrong reason, but I’ll take it.
Okay Candidates...let’s start pounding the drill for more oil, Keystone pipeline, only 3 gas blends drum...it’s a winner..
Please ask each one to forward the idea to everyone in their E-mail address book. We can make this a Nationwide effort without very much work and a few $$$ out of each Patriots pocket. IT WILL WORK WITH LITTLE EFFORT ON EACH ONE’S PART.
Just keep spreading this word. This is major opportunity and the freeper that first posted this idea deserves a major promotion.
I have been doing that. pound the drum every chance I get.
From your lips to the RINO ear.........
“obama has an ace up his sleeve—The Republican Party Establishment.”
WINNER!
These polls are skewed. I believe and know that his approval numbers are far worse.
“The foreigner and his merciless radical czars are destroying the US Constitution and US military right before our eyes, and is ramping up for the big power grab with a domestic Gestapo on steroids, and people will continue to give him a pass...that is, until over the family dining table the numbers are crunched and folks realize they won’t have enough money for
petrol this year and have to tell the kids: “No Disney World this summer,”
How is the average schmo going to know all of this, when the media won’t cover it, and the GOP cowards in D.C. hide from all of this?
I do that too.
Hey buddy!!!
It’s fun, isn’t it? I love the reactions of obvious Obamanoids...they get pissed, indignant, try to ignore you...I just keep going.
It’s like...a life’s mission to annoy them...
I don’t personally subscribe to that theory although there could be aspects of those points in play. I think that the price is rising on demand for a product for which we are drilling/producing less on our own.
It does not matter as long as the ultimate result is removing der Fuehrer from office and taking the shackels off of our energy industries so that prices can drop again.
They way Soledad Obrien just about had a cow on national live TV on CNN in defense of Obama when very uncomfortable things came up about his past, really showed those peoples' agenda. It is a wonder that it even got aired. Another four years and I doubt we will even have anywhere near the freedom of the press that we have today.
and the GOP, will still not point that out unless they do in one of those Mitch McConnell style speech’s on the floor with no emotion and a long drawn out boring manner.
Saw a bloke yesterday on my way home getting out form a pick up truck .
We stopped at a gas station and I saw he had a 2012 sticker, an obama sticker and he was wearing a shirt saying he stand with Obama next to a picture of obama.
Course me being me I can’t shut up and so I saw him and his pal at the counter and I said right in front of him “ that’s funny that shirt, the irony is that you wear it , you stand with him , you drive a pick up, you have the stickers and a shirt for obama and gas prices have sky rocketed, then there is the worse unemployment , Govt awful health care which I know as I came from England and lived under it as does my family still over there might be law and the debt not to mention gun running.”
He pretended to not hear me which I know he did and he tried to talk to his pal of which I then said” wearing and supporting obama so proudly and not knowing any facts about him , very sad”
A person behind me said” got that right”
He looked at his pal and got their two beers to drink on the drive home and got out of the gas station.
Trust me these two hillbilly dummy Dems got out of there quickly and they went out with heads bowed down back to their PICK UP TRUCK with his obama stickers.
All he needed was the go green stickers on it and that would be the irony of all ironies .
voter fraud will be immense especially in my state as they will have the vote early vote often lot like last time .
Do you know that Mccain won my state on the night of the election 53% to 47% but with early voting and absentee from the snowbirds who vote down here and vote up in their northern state, McCain lost.
Then there are the hundreds of thousands of illegals.
The DOJ will not of a damn thing about any of it either, what;’s the betting they have boxes upon boxes of votes already in the swing states ready to go.
My wife got a letter off the union saying our Gov is spending nearly a million to destroy teachers and want her to give money.
She’s not in a union or a teacher.
said something to two men yesterday and called their stickers out for obama at the gas station.
Going to leave those yellow small sticky papers with a note on them saying something like 1.83 when Bush was in , thanks obama you got your high gas prices to force us to drive golf carts.
If anyone can shorten that please let me know.
exactly what happened yesterday with me calling these two men out who had obama stickers, and a obama shirt .
Screw them , they drive pick ups, have obama stickers and can’t even understand the basics of what they support so they ignore you and these two guys pretended to not hear me when I was right in front of them calling them out.
Seems the left are only tough when they pick on women or elderly folk and yet I was there on my own with two of them and they still can’t speak up
” It’s like...a life’s mission to annoy them...”
One of lifes true pleasures : )
