You're still lying. That article was published before Gallup released newer polling data. You claimed Obama's JAR was still 39% last night, after Gallup came out with newer numbers. Why on Earth, if you're even trying to be honest, would you post a link to ABC News to show Obama's JAR is 39% according to Gallup and not post a link to gallop.com? Oh, because gallup.com doesn't show that Obama's current JAR is 39%, that's why.

:naughty:

Stop lying.
 
Obama is a failed president. His poll numbers simply reflect that.
So I guess that means Reagan was a failed president too, huh? His JAR at one point was 35%.

Reagan's poll numbers were lower at one point. Was he a failed president, too? [edit: Sheik beat me to it. ;) ]

Republicans were quite excited when a generic candidate beat Obama in in the presidential poll. According to Gallup's most recent poll, however, Obama beats the generic Republican candidate 45% to 39%. Ouch! :lol:

Take it up with ABC News. I didn't make a comment on the article yet you seem to love that word lie a lot. Try looking up the word diversion or distortion and see how the definition fits your posts. Your defense of this incompentent President shows lack of understanding of leadership as well as personal responsibility. The Obama approval rating shows that no matter how bad the economic results some will continue to buy the smile, the rhetoric, and the physical appearance. That doesn't do much for personal credibility but since they apparently don't understand personal responsibility and always blame someone else for their own failures guess I can understand that.

Great minds think alike. ;)

Barack Obama is no Ronald Reagan for Reagan's economy created 17 million jobs. Obama's approval rating is appropriate. Obama didn't inherit a 20 misery index nor did Obama inherit 17.5% interest rates. Reagan won re-election by taking 49 states so keep trying to justify Obama's low approval ratings by pointing out a different period in time and different economic conditions. Amazing how low economic growth vs. 2010 is still blamed on Bush

The recession Obama inherited is far worse than the one Reagan had to deal with, as any economist will tell you.
 
well, bo can't borrow money the way reagan did.

According to the people today it doesn't matter what you think. I lived and worked during both and disagree. Try paying 17.5% and higher for a home loan, having high inflation, and 10.8% unemployment yet still having a net job gain of 17 million and almost doubling GDP. Nice diversion on your part but won't serve any purpose as Reagan isn't on the 2012 ballot, the Obama results will be.
 
Take it up with ABC News.
Why would I take anything up with them? You're the one who lied, not them. At the time they posted that, it was true. But you clinging to Obama's 39% JAR since Gallup came out with new JAR numbers is not.

Don't believe me? Here, see for yourself ...

Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval

JAR: 41%

Notice how I go directly to the source itself, Gallup; while you lie by going to an outdated source at ABC News?



I didn't make a comment on the article yet you seem to love that word lie a lot.
Well what do you call it when someone claims Obama's JAR is 39% when it's not actually 39%, if not lying?
 
well, bo can't borrow money the way reagan did.

No, instead we have to borrow almost three times more in less than 3 years, 4 trillion added to the debt. You don't seem to understand that concept.

Aw, but as you pointed out yesterday the margin of error could make that 39%. Think 41% JAR will lead to re-election especially with no economic plan in place to generate positive job growth? Still waiting for the economic plan Obama has put in place to address the debt and to put 25 million unemployed and under employed Americans back to work full time.

And the first $10T of republican debt had nothing to do with our situation :lamo

The MOE could also make it 43% :lamo

Yeah, me too, and you are wrong, as any economist will tell you.

never mind. i have no idea why i posted, please disregard.

My bank account and the bank account of millions of others disagree with those economists and that is what really matters. The constant diversion to Reagan and Bush is quite telling in that defending the Obama record is indefensible. Would love to have someone explain how a recession ending in June 2009 could possibly lead to the current Obama results especially after 3.9, 3.8 GDP growth in 2010

Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 24+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch!
 
Spot the disconnect ...

  • "Reagan generated 16 million new taxpayers" ~ Conservative
  • "Barack Obama is no Ronald Reagan for Reagan's economy created 17 million jobs." ~ Conservative

Can you stick with one number? When you switch numbers like that, it presents the appearance that you don't know what you're talking about.

You mean economists don't consider people's bank accounts? That's rather shocking. :lol:

And what Obama inherited: economy shedding 700,000+ jobs per month, GDP shrinking at 6+% per year, financial institutions teetering on the edge of collapse, trillion+ deficit.... Nice improvement.

Obama didn't inherit a 20 misery index nor did Obama inherit 17.5% interest rates.
True, Obama inherited an economy with -9% GDP, 22 million underemployed, a 14% unemployment rate, a $1.2 trillion deficit, 11 trillion in debt, a crashed housing market, a mortgage crisis, a credit crisis, a stock market in free fall, and a monster recession which lost 8 million jobs and over 5% in GDP.

He should have fixed all that in his first 24 hours in office. :roll:
