OBAMA APPROVAL DROPS TO 43%… Most Americans Say Trillion Dollar Stimulus Was a Bust
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, July 18, 2010, 9:53 AM
President Barack Obama’s approval rating is now down to 43% – down nearly 20 points from 18 months ago.
Most Americans also believe the Trillion dollar Obama-Pelosi Stimulus Bill did not help the economy.
FOX News reported:
Most Americans see little benefit from the federal government’s economic stimulus plan, as President Obama ‘s job performance rating drops overall, and hits a new low among Democrats.
A Fox News poll released Thursday finds that 43 percent of voters approve of the job Obama’s doing, matching a previous low in early April. Two weeks ago 47 percent approved, and a year ago 54 percent of voters approved. His highest approval thus far was 65 percent in January 2009.
Some 48 percent of voters disapprove today, which also matches a previous high negative rating…
More than 6 in 10 American voters think the economy would be in the same or better shape if Congress hadn’t passed the economic stimulus bill, while a small minority thinks things would be worse without it.
If Congress had done nothing, the largest number of voters — 43 percent — say the economy would be in about the same shape as it is today. Another 22 percent think the economy would be in better shape without the stimulus plan. About a third — 31 percent — thinks the stimulus bill helped and the nation’s economy would be in worse shape without it.
64% of Americans also believe the democrats should keep the Bush tax cuts that are set to expire.
Not Obama.

Not that any of this matters to Obowma but it sure puts a smile on my face.

It’s only going to get worse between now and January, as President Fantastic doubles down in his last-ditch effort to ram his agenda of destruction through Congress.
Fasten your seat belts.
Keep your powder dry.

Tells me 43% of Americans are freaking morons.

Osama Obama’s numbers would go up if he went to any lake and held baby ducks under water.

But it used to be 65%
Maria commented:
To me it’s amazing he still has 43% approval! Still too many kool aid drinkers out there.
jainphx commented:
Maria—– They are past kool-aid. The one redeeming factor is the media inflates polls for the Demoncraps, so his numbers are probably in the 30′s. Still way too high for a communist America hating Kenyan.

Your correct, Obama’s number are probably below Bush’s final poll numbers. the MSM WILL NOT report true poll numbers as Bush was a Disaster (their mantra) thus if skippy is worse then he is by default worse than Bush. (got news for ya, folks here in Georgia are proud Jimmy Carter is no longer on the bottom of the heap) powder is dry.
fran commented:
Meanwhile Biden is out there claiming that the Stimulus would have been bigger if the GOP hadn’t meddled with it. election day 2012 can’t come quick enough.
d_fitz commented:
Biden does apparently admit then, that Porkulus was a failure.
Stuart commented:
If you think his approval ratings are bad now, just wait until January when the tax rates start to sky rocket. But I doubt that any of this matters, we no longer are a nation governed under the consent of the governed.
Old One commented:
How can Obowme still have a 43% approval rate you ask? 12 1/2 of the population is black and with few exceptions they are still in the tank for the Great Leader.
The polls almost without exception are skewed 7-14% in favor of democorrupt voters. One must factor into Oblabla’s approvsal numbers e the bought & paid for support of the overwhelming majority of bureaucraps & eduweenies and the apporoval numbers for Teh Won rises to the middle 20% range.
The polls are random “samples” and include the support of the illegal alien element for the obumunists.
We should never forget that we have armies of voters who operate on the premise great-grandpa said the democrats were the party of the working man and the Republicans are the mean-sspirited rich Scrooge types as well as the clueless 15% of voters who still imbibe the left-wing meme feed them by the liesteam media and you got 42-45 % approval for the communist-in-chief.
The Elector of Saxony commented:
I’m shocked that the country is evidently at least 57% racist.
squeaky commented:
and what about the guys who will only come out against obama in the voting booth. you know…..the same ones who accused you of being racist but now find themselves in the awkward position of not being so thrilled but not wanting to admit they were wrong.
eaglewingz08 commented:
Yes, I’m sure the numbers are either skewed in favor of democraps and.or there are still alot of polled people who fear they would be labeled racists if they give Obama bad approval numbers and that inflates his numbers.
big L commented:
But where did the money go? Is there any thing that says…1. Bridge repair-Ohio river- new bolts
new on-off ramps $1.4 million
2. Wheel chair ramps, replace existing ones- $2.9 million Long Beach, Ca
3. Advance to Planned Parenthood- Abortuarium
east coast div $200 million
4.Unions pension bail out $4. 8 billion per year
-any Union anywhere
That is what I want to see. where is the list of the money???
BarbaraS commented:
I still find it difficult to believe Obama’s ratings in January were 65%-16%. I will never believe that only 16% of the country disapproved of him at that time. There were more people on the internet who hated his guts from day one than that. The liberal polls skew the numbers to come out just as they want them to. How is it Sarah Palin is only 46% in a tie with Obama? How can someone who loves this country and has shown it over and over again be in a tie with someone who patently hates this country and want to bring it down. Dims lie. His numbers were not that high in January and they are not that high now. And Sarah’s are higher than 46%. That 46% is what she garnered in the election. Are these jerks saying she has made no progress in almost two years? That she has not won one more vote in all tha time? Bullsh*t.

Re: used to be 65% now it’s 43%. On an island of 10 people, even 4 out of 10 idiots is way too many. I would expect 1 out of 10 idiots on an island. Your mini-society could survive with one idiot, but not 4. Too many still.
kato commented:
The Obama presidency is a bust. An “historic” bust.

I was a senior high school teacher for 40 years and yes more than 40% of the population are idiots.
