Barack Obamas approval rating slid into dangerous territory this week, with the latest Reuters-Ipsos poll showing just 35 percent of Americans approve of the presidents job performance even as he leads the nation into a war against Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East.
Fifty-eight percent of Americans expressed disapproval of the White Houses current occupant 37 percent of them strongly. Just 17 percent strongly approved of Obamas current performance. The poll is based on a five-day rolling average.
The White House has struggled under a series of escalating foreign-policy crises, at times appearing to flail for a response to Islamic State brutality and the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. The poll likely does not reflect reaction to the administrations broad air attack on Islamic State targets in Syria, conducted Monday night and slated to continue for the foreseeable future.

Several years ago, Colmes was on someone else’s radio show, discussing his engagement (to Monica Crowley’s sister). A caller called in and offered his congratulations, and then said, “Alan, I just wanted to ask, Is she a sighted woman?”

And this news matters why? Obama doesn’t care how he’s doing in the polls...why should he? He’s getting everything he wants and more.

OK
So the final solution will involve about 35%

“Just 17 percent strongly approved of Obamas current performance.”
Down to his irreducible, insane leftist core: blacks, homosexuals/lesbians/whatisits, college professors, and single women in search of Uncle Sam sugardaddy types.

There won't be a 10-point drop. Roughly a third of the country is Democrat, so maybe a couple more points at the most. He is about as low as he can go, but I'm sure he could care less. He was re-elected, which is all he needed.

I don't think so. He's addicted to the adulation he's always gotten as a magic negro. Did you see the video where he got exactly one clap after a speech, despite repeated attempts on his part to elicit applause? He looked lost.
I think Fagbammy is deeply unhappy, and why not? He can't be his true self, has the Mooch as a beard, and his handlers tell him what to do. That wouldn't make anyone happy.

Obama’s problem now is going to be his base. They aren’t happy about the back to Iraq strategy.

I just found out that native tortoises are the frequent victims of bombings.
Part of me is annoyed that the pet stores ‘kidnap’ them from that area for resale, here and the other part is glad that my little Olive is safe from ever being harmed by wars.

Has Wolf Blitzed been mentioning it every 15.5 seconds on CNN like he did when Bush's numbers tanked?
Plus, Dubya never got down to 35.

"He may be trying to look tough...but that's not going to help the far left who are VERY VERY upset about the airstrikes. Hence his falling numbers."
There is strong suspicians that someone who knew what the bombing targets were, called ISIS ahead of time.
To: Maelstorm
I saw a Gallup poll not long ago that showed President Bush now has a 49% approval rating. Funny how things work out.
I thought Obama couldn’t get any lower but he will. The only thing he had left was the far left and starting another war should peel off some of those.
He’s going to drag his party down with him in November. Too bad he’s taking the country down too. I wonder how long it will take to rebuild.
