Obama Drops 48 Points In Approval Index in 1 Year… A Good Solid B+
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, December 14, 2009, 7:25 PM
Barack Obama told Oprah Winfrey last night that he would give himself a “good solid B+” for his first year in office.
Besides tripling the deficit, nearly doubling unemployment and increasing the national debt to $12 Trillion, Obama has dropped 48 points in his approval index in less than one year…
A good solid B+.
Rasmussen reported:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -18.
That’s a one point improvement from yesterday when Obama’s Approval Index rating fell to the lowest level yet recorded. Prior to the past three days, the Approval Index had never fallen below -15 during Obama’s time in office (see trends)…
Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That’s the lowest level yet measured for this president.
UPDATE: This is good- “Slip Sliding Away”

Obama giving himself a B+ means one of two things. He is either hopelessly arrogant or in a drug induced fantasy from his previous cocaine use.
Jo commented:
It is like being a student, going to class, taking a test and given oneself the grade.
lurker9876 commented:
it was minus 19 points yesterday.
exceller commented:
there are still a couple of weeks left in the year, plenty of time to break the -20 threshold on the approval index. in other words, an A-.
JHTRazor commented:
It really is amazing. As his approval rating is tanking, he gives himself a “solid B+”.
Even the Huffington Post and KOS are talking about the disenchanted liberal base, and how compared to independent and conservatives, many of Obama’s key groups say they aren’t going to vote in 2010.
One recent poll showed a 12% drop in among Democrats in the last month or so, and major drops among independent and middle-class voters.
Unemployment is in double digits, his major agendas are cap and trade, Obamacare and card check, and he gives himself a B+.
President Obama is clearly used to being graded on a curve.
DaveinPhoenix commented:
Like a 6 year old coming home from school with report card: “Mommy, I don’t think I deserved this “D-”. I think I deserved a “B+” !
Grow up you pu$$y Obama
Opus #6 commented:
No wonder Obama needs ACORN so badly. If he doesn’t pay his voters, he won’t have any.
bill-tb commented:
Doesn’t anyone think a president grading himself is a little childish? Shouldn’t he just say something like ‘history will decide my grade, how good a leader I have been’ of something like that?
Of course, maybe leader isn’t what our dear reader had in mind
Arrogance is not pretty.
vikingTX commented:
Everyone who went to Haaavaaard deserves a B+
Bogdan from Australia commented:
So from now, my dear American friends, you can start working on a legal strategy of how to make the DEGENERATE and his criminal cohorts accountable for the damage he is doing to your country.
That day is coming!
Remember though, the wounded beast is a very dangerous best.
Obama could well decide to lounch an attack on Iran to boost his ratings…

Here’s another scandal that just won’t go away. And it’s growing legs!
Did AmeriCorps official lie about possible First Lady link to IG firing?
Congressional investigators looking into the abrupt firing of AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin have discovered that the head of AmeriCorps met with a top aide to First Lady Michelle Obama the day before Walpin was removed.

I have heard that grade inflation was a real problem with college professors.

He is a Z-, and anything above is just hogwash.

I wonder what grades Biden and Mrs.Clinton would get from President44?
JRToday commented:
Imagine how truly horrendous things would need to be for this buffoon to give himself a C, to be an average president.
wtd commented:
B+ . . .hmmm, that’s the first grade Obama has released for public scrutiny. Since he didn’t own the privilege of grading himself at Occidental, Columbia or Harvard, he’ll not reveal his actual performance grades.
Sandy commented:
Obama is genetically incapable of ever being wrong about anything. He pushes ahead with a Healthcare Bill which will destroy the Democratic Party.
Even though the Global Warming Summit has been a great failure and has caused the attendees to agree to try again in 3 years. Obama will go it alone on Cap and Trade.
The idea of Govt control of our water supply is only being talked about at present but like a ravenous monster Obama’s desire for complete control of this country and its people goes unabated as one after another our Freedoms are under attack.
Sandy commented:
But as Obama said — if he gets Healthcare passed he will give himself an A-.
Gordon Savage commented:
In a way this reminds me of Carter’s old “rose garden” strategy, only this time the “rose garden” is Obama’s narcissistic and deluded head. The upside to this is that it takes him out of places where he can do harm — otherwise known as the real world. He can let the Congress (soon to be a different Congress) and his cabinet run things while he plays golf, gives daily speeches about the dangerous weather, and designs the crown he can wear when the world decides to make him king for life.
Joanne commented:
What this means is that Obama believes he has accomplished most of what he set out to do in his first year, and quite frankly, that he has done, whether many Americans like what he has done or not.

I’m ashamed to say I was over there LMAO. The Democratic boat is sinking fast and all the hopeychangies are looking for lifeboats. They aren’t the brightest bunch, some are even talking about moving to Mexico. Even tourists don’t go to Mexico anymore, the drug cartels are running the country.

jorgen commented:
If Obama wanted to destroy the country, what would he do different? If he had been elected to destroy the country, I would give him a solid B+ too. Either he is a Manchurian candidate set up to destroy USA or he is delusional.

Sign on a homeless tent camp in Colorado:
The sign, which was visible from the Cimarron Street ramp to Interstate 25, clearly conveyed a political jab at rising unemployment under President Barack Obama, for it read in full,
“Welcome to Obamaville – Colorado’s fastest growing community.”
Old One commented:
Obama giving himself a B+ is not grading on the curve , a sixty year old idiot liberal educrat folly but rather an example of a grading technique the buffoons who run the education system have been touting for the last ten years; Alternative Assessment.
The vast majority of idots produced by the education system post Bezerkley 1964 all fail using the curve. The eduweenies say those who fail the simplest of tests should be graded using Alternative Assessment.
A simple explanation of alternative assessment is to have the failures draw a picture or cut and paste a “collage” of magazine pictures and hence justify giving the dimmest bulb at least a B+.
Obozo giving himself a B+ is a perfect example of our eduweenies peer review alternative assessment quackery.
squeaky commented:
obama feels he’s doing just swell dismantling
the country as we knew it so he would give himself high grades.
squeaky commented:
i watch no more than a nano-second of bill o’reilly but he had a comedy writer on and the topic was the hammering of Bush vs the new knocking of obama. the bashing of Bush’s second term was explained as ridicule and belittlement while obama’s is disappointment and wanting him to get back on track. towards the end of the interview O’reilly quipped that
obama was smarter than Bush. unless i’m missing something – aren’t the specifics of just who obama is still locked away. and just why did o’reilly feel he had to toss in the intelligence opinion anyway.
daveinboca commented:
Margaret Thatcher had a great line: “If you want something said, hire a man. If you want something done, put a woman in charge.”
Now I understand that Obama is our first hermaphrodite POTUS.
This talker gives him/herself a B+ for talking a good game when he/she should be giving him/herself a D- for doing jack-squat in follow-up on anything he/she says.
Hedgehog commented:
Come on people. When Obama speaks, he is not really talking to us. He is speaking to his “peeps”, and by that I mean the “true believers”. If you were one of them, you would think that he was right. They know that he only deserves a B+ because he hasn’t completely destroyed this country yet. But he’s working hard on it.
reader2551 commented:
B+ with 10% unemployment? Just goes to show you how out of touch they really are.
Of course if the plan was to cause massive unemployment, government take over of several US companies and greatest expansion of government ever then he is probably succeeding beyond his wildest dreams and deserves a B+. Someone should let him know he is supposed to be President of the United States and not some third world dictator.

It’s not my fault. It Axelrod’s fault. He is the brains of this organization. I am so mad that that I am going to give Axelrod a good Fisting.
When I am in the Limo with some of Barney Franks friends, I will roll down the rear window and say, “Come over to the Limo Axelrod, I have got something to show you.” Axelrod will stick is balding head into the open window then I will flip the switch and roll it up zoom-ump. Axelrod have his balding head stunk in the window and gasping for air.
Then, Barney Frank and his boy body guards will jump of the other door and give Axelrod a good Fisting. I might even get in on the action.
My limousine is running and I have a date with Axelrod. It will be a date he will never forget. I must by some KY jelly. I must go. Good day.
