Obama's Approval Rating Drops to Lowest Ever, According to Gallup

President Obama’s approval rating dropped to below 40 percent, an all-time low, according to Gallup’s daily tracking poll.

The poll released Sunday says 39 percent of Americans approve Obama’s performance, while 54 percent disapprove.

Considering Obama is the first president to preside over a downgrade in the US credit rating and doesn’t have the stones to admit he is partially responsible, choosing instead to blame Bush, the tea party, congress and anyone but himself, this doesn’t surprise me.
 
Chutzpah - getting 98% of what you wanted and then blaming someone else for the consequences of you getting what you wanted


(Not to say that Obama doesn't deserve blame for giving them what they wanted)

He is right now on TV talking about the bad economy but he is not saying anything about his plans on "HOW TO FIX IT". Nothing but bull crap coming out of his mouth AND BLAMING OTHERS.

It's also back to 41.
 
Obamas approval rating is about twice as high as the republicans' :lamo

This is a statistic that might work great for liberal talking points but won’t serve them well in the upcoming Presidential election because many republicans and tea-partiers are very unhappy with congressional republicans but they are certain to vote but it won’t be for Obama no matter who the candidates are. It might result in more republicans being thrown out of congress but those dissatisfied voters aren’t going to benefit Obama.


In other words, it is a false sense of security to claim that republican approval ratings are lower than Obama’s or the democrats.

Because of his ability to successfully getting the economy back on track, putting everybody back to work and the national debt is back to 8 trillion Dlls. :lamo Ayyy Ayyy Ayyy. :lamo

I don't think that's necessarily true. If the candidate is Romney, for example, I think a lot of tea party people would stay home. I also think a lot of regular republicans would stay home.

I doubt it... they'll go vote simply for the lesser of two evils: Romney.

You forgot to include that a lot of democrats are also very unhappy with nObama.

If you think tea party people are going to stay home, you don’t understand much about the tea party.

Independents or republicans might choose to stay home but tea-partiers are almost guaranteed to vote.

Well, we shall see. My feeling is that many of them are rather extreme and would view Romney was an illegitimate candidate -- little better than Obama. I think a lot of them have a "my way or the highway" attitude.

That's because you have listened to what others have told you and have not experienced or investigated for yourself. :shrug:

Garbage in, garbage out.

Boehner was a complete idiot for making that stupid statement.

Personally, I love seeing people like adam again underrate the tea party movement.

I can remember in the 2010 elections, liberal media, democrats, and liberals saying the tea party was nothing to be concerned about, not to be taken seriously, and would have no effect on the upcoming election. What was the result of the 2010 elections again?

Here's what I find even more interesting, less then a year ago, while stating that the tea party was nothing to be concerned about, now a year later, so very same liberals are blaming the very same tea party, that a year ago was inconsequential, for the deficit, for the lowering of our credit rating, hell if it rained yesterday, it was the tea party's fault. Even Obama and other top rated democrats, are standing in line to blame the tea party for everything. I find it almost laughable that a party that was so unimportant just a year ago, can suddenly be in the “cross hairs” of the liberal talking heads???

So just keep under estimating the tea party, this movement continues to swell, and it will effect the 2012 elections just as much, if not more then they did in 2010.

No, it's actually because I listen to what teabaggers say. And yes, it is painful, but I endure it for educational purposes.

I hate to break it to you, but the tea party's 15 minutes is about up. Attendance at tea party events has fallen off dramatically all across the country. Main stream Republicans are starting to gag on the crazy oaths that teabaggers want to jam down their throats. But you can take some solace in the fact that you had your 15 minutes and screwed up the country well and good during your time.
 
Obama's last hope is a nation wide flash mob on election day.

Man, you've swallowed the liberal bait hook, line and sinker. LOL

I find this to be ridiculous. a large portion of them will vote third party once the GOP nominates another phony "maverick" like McCain.

There is going to be a lot of people who voted in 2008 staying home.

But they didn't support McCain which in part is why he lost. They will vote. It's still a question who they will vote for. They won't default to the lesser of two evils.
