Obama Tanks in Polls… Approval Rating Sinks to Dismal 44%
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, May 24, 2010, 5:55 AM
President Disaster tanks in latest Rasmussen poll.
Americans are fed up with that hopey-changey stuff.
Only 44% of American voters approve of the president’s performance. 54% disapprove.
Rasmussen reported:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-three percent (43%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -18 (see trends).
Following passage of health care, enthusiasm for the president among Democrats soared. Today, however, just 49% of Democrats Strongly Approve of Obama’s performance. That’s down from a high of 65%. It remains to be seen whether this is a temporary aberration or the beginning of a lasting change.
Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters nationwide favor repeal of the health care law. That’s the highest level of support for repeal yet measured…
Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty-four percent (55%) disapprove. The Rasmussen Reports Media Meter shows that media coverage of the President has been 51% positive over the past week.

Newsflash:
HE DOESN’T CARE!
He is on mission to remake this country and whether anyone approves or not matters not to him. His glory is in recreating America as he sees it should be. Citizens be damned!
Richard Romano commented:
I wonder how much longer before he hits the 30s?
I say 6 months.
karen commented:
I’m sorry. I still think it is much lower than this. He’s already been here and he has done nothing to regain any approval. I do know that when Scott Rassmussen puts out polls like this the DNC screams and yells and walla his approval ratings are much higher. Nope his poll numbers are much lower than this.
Trish commented:
Now they finally wake up, just in time to join us as we watch our nation struggle to get back to its greatness and keep fighting every step of the way, this man who would be king that they helped put in power.
And we won’t blame them for being duped. Well maybe a little.
Maybe we will b#$%* slap them into an apology.

After last weeks shameful display wath Caldaron, I am shocked that 44% still approve. Never in our nations history has a sitting president sided with third world thugs and against the American people.

To paraphrase the line in Bull Durham, “how’d he ever get 44?”

Perhaps his low approval ratings are because of stories like this one.

What???
People disapprove of our Golfer-In-Chief???
Shocking!
Opus #6 commented:
Tom, #2
I agree with you that Zero doesn’t care what we think.
But it *is* important that the rest of our countrymen understand just how bad he is. And just how bad his policies are for the country. So this is good news. We are winning the battle for hearts and minds. The rest is just protocol.
midnightblue69 commented:
Republicans need to come together and capitalize on this. The only way I can see Obama winning re-election is if The Republicans put a recycled holdover out there for a candidate like Mitt Romney. Sarah Palin, while I love her simply has too much baggage. There are many bright, new, intelligent faces in the GOP. We need to capitalize on it.
WSG commented:
If you are a progressive, does 44 really sound like a “low” approval? Doesn’t that mean that some of the other 70 percent of Americans are still being “useful”?

Ingrates!!
You never had it so good!!!
About 100 of 1,000 Americans missed a mortgage payment 1Q2010; 1,000 of 10,000 had their credit card balances written off; 1,000,000 in 6,000,000 Americans are unemployed or underemployed; 2,500,000 of 10,000,000 owe more on their homes than the houses are worth.
PRICELESS: 1,000,000 in 8,000,000 Americans is so freaking estupido as to believe the Obama regime is helping the economy.
Obama loan modification progroms are worse than CRA/FNMA/FHLMC/HUD subprime and Alt-A loans. HAMP mods – loan to house value/ LTV = 150%; Payments to monthly income = 61%. Majority will re-default in 12 months – bad news for housing construction and prices!
Racist ingrates!!!

Follow Insane Hussein’s journey through the looking glass….
Obama in Wonderland: Inside Insane Hussein’s Looking Glass; a Silly Book for a Serious Time, is also a silly book with a serious message. In what may be the most politically incorrect book of the century, Obama in Wonderland pulls no punches in its condemnation of left wing statism and the inherent threat it poses to the republic.
The book is loosely based on the classic Alice in Wonderland, and is a light hearted political farce illustrating the bizarre nature and lack of reality surrounding the Obama Administration and its policies. Barack Hussein Obama is transported to Wonderland where he attempts to implement transformative change, but will Wonderland survive?
With a truly unique storyline, through a series of unraveling adventures, this fast paced story paints the picture of a president that is out of touch with reality. In this alternate reality, the factual fiction that is presented creates a uniquely modern tale that demonstrates both the dangers and folly of the current administration.Featuring decidedly hilarious characters that are disconcertingly familiar, Obama in Wonderland’s lightly ironic tone and absurd plot make for an understated but highly effective parody. Political satire at its finest, Obama in Wonderland seeks to illustrate the absurd by being absurd.
Obama in Wonderland pokes fun at members of the media and political pundits alike. Offering fictional caricatures of well known media personalities, members of Congress and other public officials, political correctness is not adhered to. Part parody, part prophecy, Obama in Wonderland warns of dire consequences if Insane Hussein’s policies are left unchecked.
Although a political farce, Obama in Wonderland may be the most accurate depiction of President Obama and his policies in print.”" “INSANE HUSSEIN”" aka Obama In Wonderland!

maybe when he repeals “don’t ask don’t tell” his ratings will go up, it’ll destroy the US military recruitment but at least Obama will be in the limelight. That is the important thing.
The Caffeine Talking commented:
Obama’s election campaign wherein he pretended to be a moderate was the biggest fraud in American history.
Andy McCarthy gets it – the damage to the country from the rule by radical ideologues that are personified in Obama and who have taken over the Democratic party and are destroying America – see:
http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=OTNhMTViMDA5NWE0ZjhlMWNhNjA3M2IyM2Y1M2NkOGE=
“…We have a governing class that is too often comfortable with anti-American radicals, with rogue and dysfunctional governments that blame America for their problems, and with Muslim Brotherhood ideologues who abhor individual liberty, capitalism, freedom of conscience, and, in general, Western enlightenment. To this president and his government, I am the problem. Americans who champion life, liberty, and limited government are not just the loyal opposition; they are deemed potential terrorists, and are derided with considerably more intensity than the actual terrorists. Arizona — for criminalizing criminal activity, for defending its sovereignty and protecting its citizens’ lives and property — is slandered as a human-rights violator.
And here is the excruciating part: As the Calderón spectacle demonstrates, these sentiments are not fringe sentiments.
To be sure, they are not held by the majority. To be elected, candidate Obama had to run as a post-partisan moderate, a pragmatic centrist who would not be constrained by ideology. Two camps well knew that this was nonsense: those few of us on the right who bothered to study Obama’s record, and those on the Alinskyite left who understood the campaign to be merely a charade necessary to grab the reins of power.
It was the second camp we saw standing and cheering for Calderón in Congress on Thursday. They used him as a vehicle to condemn Arizona.
This second camp, Obama’s transformative Left, had the numbers to give a thunderous ovation in the People’s House because a lot of people agree with them. If I had to guess — after its two generations of marching through our institutions, controlling the academy, and scripting the legacy media — I’d put it at one in five, or maybe even four, Americans. That’s enough to form a country the size of France or Germany.
Whatever that country may be, it is not America as we know it. Quite the opposite: Its purpose is to remake America, to render it unrecognizable to those who love America as she is, or has been. To that frightening new country, the rest of us are Arizona. We are here to be jeered and loathed. We are necessary only to pay for the unsustainable Change…”
