This is awful news for the radical leftist in the White House…
Barack Obama’s presidential approval index number has dropped to -19.
Obama has dropped a stunning 49 points in less than one year.
In less than a year Obama has lost the independents. Only 21% strongly support his radical agenda while 49% of independents strongly disapprove.
Rasmussen reported:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 23% 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 -19.
Today is the second straight day that Obama’s Approval Index rating has fallen to a new low. Prior to the past two days, the Approval Index had never fallen below -15 during Obama’s time in office (see trends).
The 23% who Strongly Approve matches the lowest level of enthusiasm yet recorded. Just 41% of Democrats Strongly Approve while 69% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 21% Strongly Approve and 49% Strongly Disapprove.
Real Clear Politics has more on Obama’s decline.

This will make them all the more desperate to push their radical legislation that will be nearly impossible to remove once instituted. Sad times.
wanumba commented:
The parsing is always put the words “Strongly Approve” first, even though the number is piss-poor because “strongly approve” registers first. If it was a Republican, the parsing would always be “Strongly Disapprove” even if it was at 23%, which is zip. They want “Approve” always to be associated with Democrat and “Disapprove” always associated with Republican.
Pavlovian conditioning. 24/7.

I hope that those who voted for Obamoa and aren’t part of that 23% have learned what others tried to tell them last year, and that’s that if it appears to good to be true, it probably is.
Oh, and also that birds of a feather flock together. (if he hangs out with Marxists and criminals, you can be sure that he’s a Marxist and a criminal, too.)

This will make them desperate. The more it drops, the angrier they will get. Don’t be surprised if the Obama regime starts enciting violence if they need to, to try to push their communist agenda through. They’ve been found out by the ignorant masses that voted for them, and when those ignorant masses start to rebel against them, it will get ugly. If he can get away with violence against the people of this nation, he will try it. Let’s see how far the courts and Congress, will go for this usurper, will they kill Americans on his behalf? I wonder. I never thought in my wildest dreams they would let it get even this far. Will they let him burn churches like they did his cousin Ralia Odinga in Kenya, or Stalin in Russia? I have no faith even in our military at this point. We’ve been betrayed by Congress, and the courts, will the military be next? No one will challenge him or question his legitimacy, instead they call those who doubt he is, kooks. They attack intelligent Americans who can see him for the fraud he is instead, like they did Winston Churchill, when he spoke out against Hitler. I used to wonder how so many people let Hitler and Stalin get away with so much, when they could clearly outnumber them. We may be finding ourselves in the same position in the United States, unless he and his radical marxist friends are put in their place. The guy is absolutely impeachable at this point, but then again, he should not be there in the first place, since my instincts tell me he is not American. I wish all those who call me kook would prove me wrong.

It’s time this fool resigned in disgrace.
Flyover Sam commented:
And you’d better know who we’re gonna take it out on: Congress! As I hear from my independent friends, Ben Nelson and Tom Harkin outta be updating their resumes. Instead of the reform my friends were expecting, they got the worst slam-it-down-your-throat incestuous corruption in the nation’s history. Activist, Marxist radicalism combined with fat-cat special interest is the worst of all worlds.
Oh btw Dems… this time, we’re gonna dismantle your safety net and eradicate the disease. NPR? Gone. PBS? Eliminated. Academia? Hunt the criminal leftists down and expose them. Government employees making twice what the private sector does? Riffed, downsized, pensions eliminated, outsourced and contracted with independent firms. Unions? Investigated, exposed, tried and convicted.
ClimateGate is just the tip of the iceberg of what’s out there to expose.
averagemelon commented:
We always pride ourselves on being a tolerant nation but there really is a line that will not be crossed. Once it is, the Left will be dismantled forever as the disease it so surely is. In my opinion, it already has been crossed but I must wait for my fellow Americans to agree enough to waltz in and take the “elected mistake” out of office. We were blatantly lied to by too many groups whose only goal was the destruction of our beloved country. I agree wholeheartedly with Flyover Sam. The faster he tanks, the easier it becomes for us to physically clean up the mess.

Ladue Pundit commented:
Obama’s approval rating is getting close to his bowling score.
He’s cratering, but he doesn’t care.
His synchophantic followers are like a Kamakazi congress. They’ll follow him to their deaths by passing healthscare and carbon taxes.
Bill MItchell commented:
The REAL STORY in these numbers:
The real story for Obama here is that as he tries to triangulate back to the middle so the dems dont get crushed in 2010, he is going to lose his base while not getting back Reps or Inds.
I think the bottom line on this is that the higher you raise someone up the further they fall when we learn they have feet of clay. Obama’s problems are too fold. #1 He looks like he is in way over his head. #2 He is a fire-breathing socialist.
BillyBob56 commented:
Obama nor his czars/minions/followers/cultists/communists give a rat’s a** about polls. If that were the case, we would’ve seen SOMETHING, ANYTHING that would benefit the American populace as a whole.
I have seen NOTHING, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA that would tell me he/they have anything but hatred for this country and this American way of life.
The military/law enforcement establishment will have to make a decision when the order comes down to herd American citizens into labor camps OR fire on the average American citizen. I trust both groups to make the correct decision, but things are so screwed up in this nation, it is damned hard to tell who’s side they would be on.

I found this article about Stephen King and his wife paying for Maine troops to get home for the holidays. Very heartwarming.

B. Franklin was right. “Any fool can criticize and complain. And most do.”
Obama and the fool circus got power and were quick to prove themselves – fools.
That 49% strongly disappoving: RACISTS!

When you have a corrupt leader the country is depressed, but an honest leader brings Happiness, which leader do we have?
Eden commented:
You know why all these Congress Critters are ignoring the calls, the tea parties, the outrage and speaking out about the things they are doing? Because they don’t really care, if they lose their seats, they’ll still have some job at a liberal think tank, as a consultant or a lobbyist. Deals have already been made.
I think they’ve showed us they clearly are not afraid of the electorate.
eaglewingz08 commented:
Only 69 percent of republicans strongly disapprove of what Obama is doing. What are the other 31 percent smoking or drinking?
Sequoia commented:
THAT’S an excellent point ‘wings! I am almost as frustrated w/partisan Republicans as I am w/the current politburo. I talk to these people occasionaly, they are numerous where I live. They are “concerned about the current admin,” but are still wracked w/white liberal guilt.
These (mostly white, middle aged, pro-choice) women are the death of the Republican party.
That’s the 31%… RIP RINO.

Don’t be too exuberant my American friends! The wunded beast is the most dangerous beast.
I know very well how EVIL those communo-fascist bastard are. I’ve wasted the best years of my life while living under their boot.
You must be rady to sacrifice a lot to preserve your freedom. Perhaps even your lives.
This is life and death struggle between the humans of a smart and honest work and the PARASITES. Between the modern, democratic humans and SUBHUMANS.
A healthy organism cannot coexist with a parasitic one. Either the healthy organism will get rid of a parasite or the parasite will devour and destroy its carrier.
There is NO middle solution!
Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst!
God bless America!
God bless Sarah Palin – the next President Of The United States Of America!

My name is Bozo and I strongly approve of raising the debt ceiling so high that it can never get paid — off. It is and will always be Bush’s fault. Did you know that I have lots and lots of money and you do not! ha ha, that is why my name is Bozo the sissy raging Clown.

I cannot wait for 2010 to see all these democrats congressman and senators lining up for their unemployment checks. To stop the corruption, vote out all incumbent and all Soros lapdogs.
Scrapiron commented:
Going down faster than a hot air ballon shot full of holes. He’s as full of hot air so is anyone surprised even the mental retards on the left would eventually figure him out? The rapid release of hot air and methane gas may cause Global Warming, with a bad smell.
His new name is ‘blame duck’ instead of lame duck. (stolen from NeoNeocon)
The white guilt is a result of the left wing racial blame game. Wake up, it’s only an attempt to project they’re racist past and present on someone else. A short history class will out the racism of the democrats.
