Change… Obama Now More Loathed Than Bush at End of His Second Term
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, December 22, 2009, 6:59 PM
A Good Solid B+
Barack Obama’s approval index number dropped to a new low today.
Rasmussen reported:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).
At the end of his second term President George W. Bush had a 43% disapproval rating.
In less than one year Barack Obama managed to pi$$ off more people than George W. Bush.
Nice work, Barack.
We know. It must be Bush’s fault.

Future news story:
A.P. – November 3, 2010.
With the Democrats still reeling in shock after historic, sweeping GOP victories at all levels of government, Rasmussen delivered even more bad news today reporting that President Obama’s approval rating had, incredibly, slumped to only 9%. When told about the Rasmussen poll President Obama cheerily replied, “Hey, the good news is that this is unprecedented!”
Dell commented:
He’s thrown all caution to the wind; ticking off the far left by sending more troops to Afghanistan, rather than bring them all home. The withdrawal from Iraq is running, more or less, on George W. Bush’s timetable, much to the chagrin of the far left. And the Black Caucus is – almost unbelievably – scolding him for not doing more specifically for Blacks. They somehow think a black president should do more for “his own” folks, at the expense of all others. Even Obama knows that’s not realistic. (So much for the woman in Florida who said on election night, “Obama is going to pay my mortgage!”).
He’ll continue to get high approval numbers from Illinois; especially Chicago – along with the movie star crowd in Californicate.
When the cost and inefficiency of his so-called health care legislation is realized, even that support will dwindle.
Assuming he succeeds in giving amnesty to about 12 million illegal aliens, he’ll pick up a few points there.
When all is said and done, he’ll be VERY fortunate to pull in any approval number above 25, which puts him on just about the exact same level as the Democratic controlled Congress.
His Hope and Change stardom rocketed upward a year ago and it’s coming back down at almost the same rate of speed. 2010 will certainly be a year to remember for Democrats.
American Delight commented:
Right, the “polarization” will be blamed on a climate that Republicans “created” during Clinton’s impeachment, “intensified” during the 2000 Florida recount, and was “institutionalized” under Bush.
The left has their little narrative and no number of facts will change their minds.
Chisum commented:
Something to think about.
The Dems’ political payoff
I think that a lot of congressional Democrats are going to pay the price of Obamacare, but Andrew McCarthy highlights a key point:
The best thing about Mark Steyn’s guest-host stint on Hannity last night — other than Jonah’s joining him on the panel — was that Mark asked some pointed questions of two brilliant political strategists, Dick Morris and Karl Rove, that seemed rooted in Mark’s theory that, on health care and all it entails, “The Dems are thinking strategically; the Republicans are all tactics.”

I’ve decided the Democratic party is on par with 3 year old children. If a child does something wrong, an adult witnesses it and confronts the child with the fact the adult saw the offending act…the child will deny that he/she did it, believing his/her lies the entire time. Nothing the adult says will change the child’s discourse.
This sums up the Democrats. Arrested development and dangerous in seats of power.
Just like 3 year olds. You can’t trust them. They don’t have the capacity to make intelligent decisions.

Rock commented:
Mentioned above was the amnesty bill, rest assure this will be pushed through in time for the 2010 elections. And ACORN is now actively mustering their forces to add six million more votes for Obama. We have seen our last honest election, Holder has refused to investigate any case that might discredit the 2008 elections. And 2010 will be but a sham.

No. Rasmussen is more accurate than an RCP average of the true outliers – CNN, CBS and NYTs? Really? They’ve proved time and again that they are in the tank.
But I would agree that its apples and oranges. I’d like to see the Rasmussen numbers on Bush VS Rasmusen numbers on Obama.

jonyjoe101 commented:
loathe is too strong of a word. The leftists still worship the ground he walks on.
Pastor Manning warned us about the long legged macdaddy, and we didn’t listen and he was right 100 percent.
That’s what happen when the people elect an illegal alien for president.
Al sharpton or Jessie Jackson would have been a better President, they have agendas but at the end of the day, I think there “americanism” would come out. Obama hates america 100 percent, no love of America is in him or his wife.

Normally, I’d agree with you. However, if you scroll down you’ll see the Rasmussen numbers track very well with the overall tracking of ‘right track/wrong track’. It’s not hard to believe that Obama’s real job rating is closer to the ‘right track/wrong track’ numbers.

That’s the real game that’s afoot. Obama’s making a tactical sacrifice of the party in 2010 for the opportunity to change the game permenently in their favor.
BurmaShave commented:
The Dems criticized Bush for being a unilateral cowboy.
So Obama came along. He is a unilateral city slicker.
Hey, the Dems picked up on Bush’s example, and took it up a level; in fact they maxed it out.
Now they are a on a suicide trip.
So much sewerage comes out of their month these days it is hard to make out what they really think. If one is completely whacked out on Kool-aid, are the remaining neural processes, such as they are, really thinking? Is that what you call thinking? Yeah, whatever.
It comes down to this: Whatever glory they see in their hallucinating is all theirs; and if any badness results from their over-the-top trip into unilateralism, well, that part is Bush’s fault. Yeah, That makes sense. Now, let’s all have another hit.
Will Cate commented:
And yet the mainstream media is still referring to him as “a popular President.” Guess they have to keep the illusion alive as long as they can…
Fen commented:
“That’s the real game that’s afoot. Obama’s making a tactical sacrifice of the party in 2010 for the opportunity to change the game permenently in their favor.”
Agreed, but how do you stop Dems from enslaving a new voter bloc?
The bill cannot be allowed to get out of conf cmte. They’re going to pass it in the dead of night without even reading what they’re voting for.
Stu Blu commented:
Another huge difference between Rasmussen and the other polls is that Rasmussen is virtually the only pollster that includes only likely voters (the LV next to their number on RCP), rather than all adults (most of the rest) or registered voters.
Rasmussen claims to be the closest poll to the actual results in the last couple of national elections due to this.
So, it appears that the best group for the polling is LVs, and that’s the “outlier”. Outlier, maybe, but more reliable. These are the ones who will vote, and their ratios matter.
Hester commented:
The picture of Obama as the Joker is offensive. He is the President of the United States and deserving of respect regardless of how we disagree with his policies. It was inappropriate when the Lefties did this sort of thing to images of Bush and it is inappropriate now.
Kelly commented:
The amazing thing about this is the msm wasn’t involved. It took 8 years of constant Bush basing in the media for people to become thoroughly tired of Bush. Hell, I was tired of him and I voted for him twice, but the constant negativity can wear you down and eventually you just want it to go away.
Obama took the dive all on his own. One might even say he did it despite the msm doing everything in their power to prop him up.

nohype commented:
The Left has a view of the world that is non-falsifiable–it is basically a religious view of the world. They believe that the government will make the world a better place provided that good people control government. When government screws up, it does not show that faith in government is misplaced, but rather that the wrong people are in charge. (In contrast, conservatives usually believe that the ability of government to improve things is quite limited.) So what happens when their expectations of the Obama administration are disappointed? Most will not abandon their faith in government. Rather they will decide that, once again, the wrong people were put in charge. It was only a matter of time until the Left would become disillusioned with Obama, and that disillusionment clearly has started.

Rasmussen tends to be a leading indicator. But what is noteworthy is the spike. The 3% increase in disapproval is large, one of the largest one day changes since July (but still within the error range)
This may be Lefties just emoting…yes, I disapprove because of the Public Option. If so, in a couple of weeks, they’ll be back on the approval side.
It is definitely a spike and probably related to h/c “reform”…but he’ll bounce back in January, the Left will come back home after the State of the Union (ah, yes, how much we love Him)
But it will be interesting if his disapproval holds above 50 during January.
Orion commented:
“That’s the real game that’s afoot. Obama’s making a tactical sacrifice of the party in 2010 for the opportunity to change the game permanently in their favor.”
The problem with “thinking strategically” is that it really helps to win a few battles along the way. What Obambi’s done so far doesn’t count as a “win”: Copenhagen was a disaster, the health care reform bill somehow morphed into the Insurance Industry Protection Act, and last time I checked we were still in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There’s no sense of useful involvement or engagement on his part in any issue he’s come out for: Obama makes a speech, Reid and Pelosi follow along behind with a shovel and broom. All he seems to do is read the words scrolling across the teleprompter screen and then go play a few rounds of golf. And they aren’t even his words: He has a speech writing staff. Off-teleprompter he’s a worse speaker than GW Bush was ever smeared as.
Bill Clinton was going down this same path after 1993 and was only saved by that nutjob blowing up the Federal Building in OK City. Unless something similar happens and Obama can seize the moment like Bubba did he’ll be a lame duck after the 2010 elections.
Huey commented:
As we see, as soon as a factual statement about the monolithic (and, therefore, unthinking) nature of black support for Obama is made, a charge of raaaaacism is made.
If blacks split more in accord with their individual beliefs (which, in the main is quite conservative) as is the case with every other “group” in the country, Obama’s approval numbers would be in the mid to high 30′s.
Toads commented:
Watch the racism, Toads #38. This has nothing to do with the president’s skin color, only his lousy policies.
So please explain why 90% of blacks still approve of Obama, while only 35% of non-blacks (white + Hisp + Asian) approve of him.
Explain the gap.
Toads commented:
And no, it is not racism. A black Republican NEVER gets much of the black vote against a white Democrat, as we saw in 2006 in 3 major races.
Blacks are Democrats first and blacks second.
Explain. NO other group votes 95% for one party. NO.OTHER.GROUP
Jim commented:
Re: #50, more specifically I was referring to Toad’s comment that blacks aren’t compatible with “First World” democracy.
When there are so many faults to find with the Democrats, let’s not say things that make us look like/confirm the racists they claim we are. It doesn’t really help.

Apples 2 Apples commented:
According to http://www.pollingreport.com, the latest CNN / ORC poll for Obama has his approval at 54% and disapproval at 44%, a +10% difference for approve.
According to last CNN / ORC poll posted during his presidency, Bush had an approval rating of 31% and disapproval at 68%, a -37% difference for approve.
This skewed article fails to mention that every other poll measures approve vs disapprove, not “strongly vs not strongly” either way!
Obama’s support is certainly shrinking, but it’s still hovering around 50%, which is something Bush’s didn’t do for the last 3.5 years of his presidency.
America has a long way to go before ANYONE can accuse Obama of being disapproved of as strongly as Bush, much less “loathed”.
According to Gallup, Bush’s final approval rating was 22%, the lowest recorded in the 70 year history of the poll, and 1% lower than Nixon during Watergate.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/16/opinion/polls/main4728399.shtml
So according to that data, Bush’s +/- is at -56%. Not even close to Obama’s latest poll at +10%.

Uh, actually, the Banking and Airline Industry deregulation began under Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Congresses of the latter 1970′s (does Alfred Kahn ring a bell?). And the percentage of GDP made up of manufacturing has remained pretty constant (between 12% and 14% – US Dept. of Commerce) since 1980; the US has gotten more efficient and can do more with less.

Try educating yourself.
Deregulation. Events in financial markets and within major financial firms indicate a clear failure of U.S. and foreign regulatory approaches to financial services. In the United States, this occurred largely because a succession of Congresses and Administrations failed to reform the regulatory framework to keep pace with changes in the financial markets. The issue is more a question of antiquated regulation than one of too much or too little regulation. While the Bush Administration repeatedly proposed modest regulatory reforms at the edges of the financial system, such as a proposal rebuffed repeatedly by Congress to strengthen the federal oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Bush Administration otherwise did little to regulate or deregulate financial markets prior to 2007.
In 2007, Treasury Secretary Paulson launched a major effort examining the nation’s federal financial regulatory structure and issued Treasury’s blueprint report in March 2008.[14] While the report was well received as a thoughtful examination of a pressing long-term problem, Congress expressed no interest in moving quickly to address the issues. In any case, the seeds of the current crisis had long since been sown.
The assertion is often made that the Bush Administration’s deregulatory policies caused or at least significantly contributed to the financial meltdown and recession. The most obvious fault with these assertions is that, regrettably, the Bush Administration achieved no notable deregulation of financial markets.[15]
The only meaningful deregulation in the United States in the modern era was bipartisan legislation signed by President Clinton. Among its many reforms, the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 eliminated many artificial barriers between financial firms engaged in commercial banking, investment banking, and insurance.
The 1999 reforms strengthened the financial system by allowing financial firms to operate more rationally according to market pressures. The great weakness is that Congress failed to modernize the financial regulatory apparatus in parallel to developments in the marketplace. Instead, Congress relied on slow-footed national financial regulators using legal authorities developed decades earlier to monitor rapidly evolving, highly nimble, and intrinsically international financial firms and markets.

How does one give respect to someone who’s released terrorists to Bermuda, where we can watch them do the back stroke? How does one give respect to someone who decides to bring the man who is responsible for killing over 3000 people and using his “blessed right hand,” to behead Daniel Pearl, to traumatize the people of New York and give them a forum to attack a former President, and the CIA?

Latest Obama poll from Rasmussen
Get A Clue Index -19
This compares the one legitimate polling sample – likely voters – versus the lowest denominator of polling samples: merely adults. The ten polls using only adults average a +7 while Rasmussen’s overall number today is -12. That puts a 19 point gap between legitimate polls and those with an agenda.

“Legitimate polls” being defined as “ones you agree with”. The facts are clear. Obama’s approval rating is much higher than Bush’s was, and his disapproval rating is much lower. No spin counter those incontrovertible facts. Sorry guy.
Chisum commented:
Legitimate polls being polls that use likely voters versus any 18-plus year old that answers the phone.
Sorry, Ryan, BO is tanking! And tanking BADLY.
And YOU just can’t spin that reality.

more from Gallup:
Bush beats Obama—at seven months into
first term with 56% approval vs. Obama’s 52%.
Obama Weekly Approval Average Now 52%, a New Low [8/24/09]
Obama’s been tanking since about then, not ascending, gah!!
United States presidential approval rating

at any rate, polls are not worth the graphs they are
imaged on.. even when whomever i’m rooting for is
ahead.. [standard disclaimer: source Wikipedia]
albeit comparisons can be & are made, the bottom line is:
THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER; THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH BUSH; HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT; OBAMA IS!!

Right-wing Rasmussen polls and Scott Rasmussen have always been an exclusive favorite of Faux News/GOP TV.
Next time you see a poll on Fake News/ The Glorious Official Republican Government News Network it’s going to be a Rasmussen poll.
Chisum commented:
Yes, yes, we know. Fox News and Rasmussen….lies, all lies!
Team Obama and his sycophants are at 99% approval!
Everyone knows that!

btw Craig @ 10:38 am #88
all the screaming IMPEACH BUSH for years!!
it would be logical to assume they have more than a stained Blue
Dress on Bush, so why do you think they haven’t done that huh??
i’ll tell you why.. THEY LIE/D!!
and not only that, but if there is any IMPEACHING
that needs to be done, OBAMA would be first in line..

hmmm, why do you think they haven’t phoned Beck??
(btw, Obama had Beck’s Red Phone videos deleted too.. and this
one is sure to follow them into the black hole machine asap, gah!!)

me commented:
I’m no fan of the left, or Obama, but the real numbers from Rasmussen are Bush -30, Obama -18
Give it time, he’ll catch up.
Max Silverhammer commented:
Doesn’t matter. Only numbers that are going to count come next November. And the upcoming election, Obama Zombies, will be more than anything else, a referendum on Dear Leaders performance. Can’t wait!
AuntieMadder commented:
You can tell Obamao’s tanking by the number of comments to this post. Six months ago, posts that criticized Dear Leader would have brought many more trolls out of the woodwork. Seven hours online, as this one is, and there’d have been at least 500 to 700 comments posted.
Obamao’s even losing his most fervent worshipers.

Bush also reached a 90% approval rating at one time,
so what?? is Bush in the WH.. or running for office??
exactly what does that change as far
as Obama’s ratings are concerned??
shouldn’t we be comparing every other presidents ratings to Obama’s to be “fair & balanced” if it supposedly matters all that much?? get serious, these comparisons are not..
like i said, the bottom line is Bush’s numbers (or anyone else’s) mean absolutely nothing, as the ONLY numbers that count are OBAMA’S..
stop watching the butterfly (Bush).. the UNACORN
(Obama) is prepping US for his own special brand of democide!!

“…In less than one year Barack Obama managed to pi$$ off more people than George W. Bush” did in eight years!
Love it.
Ban Ignorance commented:
Just remember, those are the same poll participants who blame Obama for the economy…
KBB commented:
“I’ve decided the Democratic party is on par with 3 year old children….You can’t trust them. They don’t have the capacity to make intelligent decisions.”*****Agree. I’ve always thought the Dems are like spoiled bratty out-of-control kids and the Repubs are like the parents.
A Conservative Teacher commented:
You all say these things- but are you going to vote Republican up and down the ticket next election? Many of you voted third party or stayed home last election- this is your fault as much as it is the idiot’s faults who vote Democratic.
Make sure you back up your tough words by campaigning, donating money, and voting Republican next election.
Scott commented:
The man has a known pedophile, Kevin Jennings as safe school czar…His corruption begins in his soul. He should be in jail not in the Whitehouse…Wake up America. Find out who Kevin Jennings is and what he stands for. Through Jennings, you will come to know Obama!
Scott commented:
How appropriate that Obama-mao has Chairman Mao ornaments on his Christmas tree…It is another passive-aggessive slap at America…He is an anti-American marxist at heart and he probably thinks it funny that he got elected as leader of wait for it…The Free World. How ironic…For the liberals out there do a little research on Chairman Mao. He killed upwards of 77 million persons in his communists takeover of China. He sent a million chinese troops to fight Americans in Korea. Now, North Korea is Mao’s bastard child. Some legacy…China today is more pure capitalist than America which is rapidly becoming a socialist third world nation…Another irony to ponder…
