Obama?s Approval Rating Drops on Health Care, Economy Concerns - Bloomberg.com

Aug. 6 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama’s approval rating is falling amid concerns about the U.S. economy and his push to revamp the U.S. health-care system, a Quinnipiac University poll shows.

Exactly half of the registered voters surveyed from July 27 to Aug. 3 by Quinnipiac said they approve of the job Obama is doing, compared with 42 percent who disapprove. That’s down from 57 percent approval and 33 percent disapproval in a poll taken in late June, according to results released today.

Dear Leader drops 7% in the polls as people get to see what his healthcare destruction agenda entails.

The American electorate has looked at Dear Leader's ideas and pronounced them a failure. The American electorate sees the real Dear Leader and are starting to realize that he is a failure.
 
I would be careful what you post concerning healthcare lest someone report you to the white house. :shock: Make sure all i's are dotted and t's are crossed.

Not surprised his approval rating continues to plummet.

Absolutely. When Dear Leader's brown shirts come knockin', it won't be because I stuttered or mis-spelled, that I can promise you! ;)
 
Hmmm here is a different poll:

WASHINGTON — Americans are growing slightly more optimistic about the path the country is on, according to a new Ipsos-McClatchy poll.

Some 46 percent of Americans said the country was headed in the right direction, while 48 percent said it was on the wrong track, according to the survey of 1,005 adults taken last Thursday through Monday.

In a similar survey taken July 9-13, only 40 percent said the nation was headed in the right direction, and 54 percent said it was on the wrong track.

In addition, the poll indicates that President Barack Obama's job-approval rating has leveled out after suffering some erosion earlier in the summer, with 58 percent now saying that they approve of his job performance and 37 percent disapproving, virtually the same as in the previous survey but still down from the mid-60s ratings he had through the spring.

Actually, I believe that Obama's numbers are dropping because of a war that is beginning to break out within the Democratic party. This is similar to the war that tore the Republican party to pieces during the Bush administration, and could be equally devastating to the Dems. Obama made a lot of promises to the far left while he was campaigning, and then proceeded to break most of them. The coming civil war within the Democratic party is going to be fought between the far left and the mainstream elements.

The question is, which side with the mainstream media be supporting? Such a tough choice for them!

MSM will be supporting the same side they always do....their side.

"If it bleeds, it leads" -- last year it was the Republicans bleeding, this year it is the Anti-Republicans. The MSM cares not so long as they sell newspapers and ad space.
 
This indeed good news but it is not enough with the news of Der Fuhrer building an enemies list.
This person is trying to destroy this nation and replace it with a model fashioned on the National Socialist Party on Germany from 1919 to 1945 with the use of Block Wardens who were chrged with the same kind of reporting on friends and neighbors.
If we flood the White House with the names of the Liberals lying about everything Obama and the rest of the Dims (no spell error) are doing we will put an end to this persons reign or destruction on the Constitution and the Nation.
Hopefully this latest blatant craziness will cause people to wake up and put his poll numbers in the toilet where they belong.
I will rant about this until Americans wake up and take action to end it.
 
And yet he still has a higher approval rating than Bush had for much of the last 3 years.. go figure!
 
The bill is still going to pass... after the people of congress stop sipping martinis and enjoying the beach weather for the summer.

Because despite all the wrong things he is doing the country is still moving forward in recovery. We were on a traceable downward spiral of disaster when Bush was making decisions.

All general populace see's is, "America's economy failed under Bush and American's economy is slowly stabilizing under Obama". It doesn't matter that
neither one of these people have control over the stability of the economy, other then the speed of which it does or does not recovery, but as President the state of the economy and the country is directly associated to them.

Unfortunately, those of us on the far left do not have the political power in the Democratic party to put up much of a battle in a Democratic Civil war.

I doubt that any Democratic Civil war is forthcoming. I think that most of us who dream of a liberal party have conceded that the Democratic party is a left-leaning middle of the road party and will stay that way in order to attract moderates and independents that have been told by the GOP that they are not welcoming in that party.

This is good and bad in my opinion. I would prefer a much stronger liberal party...however, I recognize that we simply don't have the numbers to make that kind of influence.

Not in its current form. This bill is political suicide for many Democrats, and I just don't see them throwing themselves in the wood chipper for Obama.

Perhaps some bastardized, teethless version, but not what Obama is seeking.

There will be a revolution in this country if it passes. The overwhelming majority of people do not support government-sponsored healthcare. They just want basic, meaningful reform.

I agree. Many Democrats don't support this bill in it's current format which is why it wasn't put to a vote before the recess.

This is one bill that only a niche group of Democrats support and most Democrats and Republicans reject.

Perhaps you should read the bill?

How do you think that they are going to get the part bolded above?
 
If this bill does happen to pass I would bet $100 that there will be lawsuits.

The Dems have exactly the same problem that we had as Repubs then, our fringe wanted more spending and programs and we foolishly went along with it, this is also what I am seeing now with the current leadership, except the whackos in congress are the ones with the most power, also akin to that, I am seeing the moderates within the party(voters that is) showing slipping confidence on a daily basis.

I would hope the current president would have higher numbers in his first six months than one who got constant negative coverage for three straight years, and this applies to all parties, Clinton got a severe daily beatdown in his second term as well, so did Reagan, it would have happened to Ford, Carter, and H.W as well except they were one-termers, that's why they call the second term the lame duck years, a president can't do anything right when it comes to dealing with the pundits.
