Obamas rating plummet

[Specop 007]

The MSM is doing their best to prop up the Obamessiah but the polls dont lie. More and more people are seeing him, and his party, for the failure they really are.

On his first day in office he came in with 44% "strongly approve", with only 16% at "Strongly disapprove". In less then 6 months hes sitting at 28% "strongly approve" while 36% "Strongly disapprove".

You vote for an empty suit communist and you get all kinds of "hope and change"!

Keep telling us how damn good he is guys. Its a hollow argument, and eventually the MSM wont be able to hide it anymore.

Meh, anyone that thinks that politicians are anything more than corrupt and divisive dirtbags deserve what they get.

 

[Slick5150]

Wow. This isn't a troll thread at all!

 

[BarrySotero]

It's too little to late I think. People elected an obvious radical with ties to extreme persons who has been subverting Constitution while kneecapping investors and intentionally pushing the economy over a cliff and the average American dummy still doesn't get it. We have a communist leading a counter-revolution sending America down the toilet and people are talking about how they will fix things in 2012. Don't know if I should laugh or cry. Soon we will be going after the "civilian security force" Obama said he wants and still the dummies won't get it.

I'll be honest. As a conservative, I was excited to see Obama take office. I always had the inkling that he was way too inexperienced to really do well at being President, but let's face it, he touted change, and a new America, at the time we've most needed it in decades. Obama truly had the chance to be one of America's most epic and loved Presidents of all time, he really did. If he had done alot of the things he had promised, he would have completely won me over, and I'd suspect many others that are more moderate. So while you're right that he didn't deliver near what he promised, and obviously ratings drop for that, I can't see how anyone would have known to not vote for him. His campaign was exactly what the public wanted to hear. It's a shame it turns out he isn't the same person that he was in the campaign, I don't really see why he wouldn't be to be honest, he really had his opportunity.

LOOK OUT GUYS, OBAMA'S POLL NUMBERS ARE FOLLOWING AN IDENTICAL TRAJECTORY OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS SINCE POLLING BEGAN!

I like how you were able to wrap up the myth of the 'librul' media, accusing Obama of being a commie, and LOLCHANGE all in one post. I'm a little disappointed you weren't able to fit in any of that patented Specop racism, but hopefully you can add that in a later post.

Honestly, what did you expect from someone who has no track record? The entire idea of Obama was crap, and I was sad (but not surprised) that so many people went along with it.

As long as we have a 2 party system there would never be change in America.

Looks like a -35% or so swing in the Presidential Approval Index (see the 1st column of the chart)

Interesting, and no doubt of concern to the WH. This might make some of Obama's intiatives more difficult to pass in Congress.

They have another poll showing that the economy is the #1 concern, I wonder if that's why we now hear talk of another stimulus?

To some extent this (declining approval ratings) is to be expected, the 'honeymoon' doesn't last forever; still this drop is faster than most thought.

I'd like to see some other polls to compare.

6 months, major legislation weeks from passing.

Rasmussen's polls are outliers as compared to every other firm. The 'honeymoon period' is defined by the amount of time a president's poll numbers stay above 60% on average between all polls. The average 'honeymoon period' is about 7 months... and we're at about 6 months now. Among all polls Obama is right at about 60% now, and he's been dropping on average by about 1% a month, which should make his honeymoon period end at... you guessed it, 7 months. So no, the drop is exactly in line with what people should have thought. (actually it's probably slower than I would have guessed considering the hole our country is in right now)

SHOCKING.

Liberals cannot be elected when they're honest about who they are. They're activists disquised and the real shame is that American's arent revolting yet against the POS democrats in office who are pissing our future as a country away. Not all bad, but mark my words, you cannot blame Republicans (read: conservatives) for any of the BS that's gone down the last 6 months. Libs lied to get elected by making promises they never intended to keep and sadly, those that voted for said libs deserve what they're going to get because they'll never learn otherwise.

As I posted in another thread you can tell when a group is desperate, they start quoting Ramsmussen polls:laugh:

The difference is that for first time ever you have an MSM that has almost totally collapsed into a state organ. The media not only fails to hold Obama accountable but they serve as an extension of his campaign. Obama has been a disaster for economy but the media hardly issues a peep where if it was Bush they would be crucifying him. Obama has been a disaster for national security and there's hardly a peep about that.

Obama could drop another 20 easily if the media articulated just how much danger the people are in. America is collapsing - being dismantled - and people are still functioning from the celebrity mindset they have been conditioned to live from. All they get is Obama smiles, Obama wears nice shoes, Obama cares about peoples health, Obama does Leno, Obama does baseball - all the while Obama puts foot up butt of USA. A degenerated population is the cause of this.

We went from greatest generation to one of most feckless in history - and not just US history. Like that old Hebrew dude that traded his inheritance for a pot of porridge current Americans without a clue voted away their wealth and freedom for nothing.

Fixed, and equally one-sidedly applicable for the fiasco of total Republican control from '00 - '06.

If you think Republican politicians on the national scene are any less of a sack of shit that the Democrats are, then you'll need to check with a reputable physician to see if there's anything in your skull but water.

2 parties of trash, that's what we've got, and what we're going to have for the foreseeable future. They *THRIVE* on keeping us distracted with partisan wars, all the while sucking down PAC money, bribes, kickbacks, and self-voted pay raises. Bush, Obama, Clinton, Kerry, Gore, McCain, they're interchangeable figureheads for the nature of evil.

Depends what "the answer" is. Every liberal run state is a cesspool at the moment compared. The people that elected left leaning politicians get to suffer the consequences of their failed policies. What do they do then? Well, depends how good the blame game is played by the left, which so far is pretty damn good but there is indication that even the left can't keep pegging everythign bad on Republicans anymore.

You're a victim of your own paranoia and self delusion. Your posts are simply the product of a make believe conspiracy combined with a misguided assessment of the state of the US citizenry as compared to a golden age in the past that never really existed. On top of that, you aren't very educated so you don't actually understand the issues you're trying to talk about.

That's what leads to you making posts like this one.
