president’s Job Approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. Typically, the president’s Job Approval rating on Election Day will be close to the share of the vote he receives. Currently, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. That matches the president’s lowest approval rating of 2012. Fifty-four percent (54%) at least somewhat disapprove

I actually think this reflects the weather more than F&F, gay marriage and Latino pandering! I've taken results of most polls between Memorial Day and Labor Day with a couple of pounds of salt -- "normal" people are spending more time outside grilling, at the beach, in the mountains or away on vacation -- leaving the polling tilted towards those who are staying at home with the blinds drawn.

The last couple of days have been a brief window into what is really going on. IMO.

Oh, yeah. And Zero is in much more trouble than his biggest fans in the MSM imagine!

45% Strongly Disapprove. That's a tall mountain to climb. Barring some unexpected development, which could always be engineered by the incumbent, this race is Romney's to lose.

No doubt if people were more honest,
it would be more like -32.
There are always going to be those who voted for the marxist occupier, but will never openly admit what a huge mistake they inflicted on America by doing so.

In February, 2009, Obama said that if he had not turned the economy around within 3 years, his would be a one-term proposition. Instead of turning the economy around, we got Obamacare, which may soon be ruled unconstitutional. The man wasted his time and ours, and our children’s money.

Friends, how is the voting for conservatives for two Chambers of Government? Will you be able to control it and win?

Merci.

45% Strongly Disapprove.


It’s probably closer to 50% given that some poll responders may be reluctant to express their true feelings. Whatever, its strongly indicating that peoples’ patience with ‘hope and change’ is wearing very thin. Obama is appearing more and more like Jimmy Carter every day, but with lots of scandals thrown in. He’s in serious political trouble and next week could be the tipping point.

A five point lead with 10% either undecided or preferring another candidate. The incumbent president stuck at 43%.

The Mitt Romney camp must be very happy with this. It allows their candidate to keep a low profile while allowing the opponent to twist in the wind and make all the mistakes.

From today's Rasmussen poll:

"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote, while President Obama earns 43%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

The president picks up support from just 35% of white voters overall. That’s eight points below the 43% of the white vote he won in 2008. The gender gap is now at 11 points. That’s little changed from the 12-point gap in 2008. Romney leads by 11 among men, and the candidates are even among women."

Winning only 35% of white voters (and especially being even among women voters) means he cannot win:

Obama's White Support Is Too Low to Win

Obama is even among women?

But what about the war on women and Sandra Fluke and birth control pills and Rush Limbaugh and all the other stuff that liberals were enraged about? That was supposed to translate into major women’s support for Obama. Did the liberals miscalculate????

He’s in serious political trouble and next week could be the tipping point.

And the June BLS Unemployment Report could be another nail in the coffin.

Unemployment ticked up in May to 8.2%. That is one data point.

If it goes up again in June, that is a trend.

Will it?

Yet I keep hearing Romney can’t win bc of the hispanic vote, and last night Cavuto went on and on that Romney must support Obama’s amnesty program.

No.

They know that their fate depends upon the economy.

All that stuff is meant to divert the attention of women voters.

The same applies to Hispanic voters, Black voters, Gay voters, etc.

A miserable economy affects all voters.

They know that, and they are desperate.

Having shot their load ineffectively with their massive spending, they have nothing left, except these rocks and bricks they keep tossing out there.

In the face of the T.E.A. Party refulgence the Left can't afford to let up now and the incompetent Obama is a definite liability...

...so they wait for their Benazir Bhutto to peek above her protection to take the fatal bullet so they can move on to more promising strategies.

Obama is the only one who has his back now and is paranoid of the wrong people...stupid is not knowing who hates you in a manner to do you harm.

while President Obama earns 43%.... Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove,

That means there are more people in the poll (which I hope is a perfect sample) who STRONGLY disapprove of Obama than say they will VOTE for Obama.

In other words, that's 45% of the public he is not going to win back. That means he is going to have to beg, borrow and steal to win the remaining 6-7% he needs for re-election. Because, in a two-person race (which is what this is, in reality), Obama is going to need at least a 49% plurality.

Of course, state-by-state is probably more important than national numbers and I think that is still going to be extremely close. Romney is probably going to need one of Iowa, Wisconsin or Michigan to break his way to get to 270 unless he can surprise in Pennsylvania or Virginia.

June has been a terrible month for Obama and we still have to see what the Supreme Court does this week on ObamaCare. I think, ironically, that striking down ObamaXare may actually be a big boost to the economy which might help Obama in November. In addition, oil prices are sinking and are probably going to drive gas prices back down below $3/gal by the end of the summer in most states.

No spiking the football until November 7th, folks.
