Good Grief. Obama’s Approval Index Rating Plunges to -26

Thanks your great vetting job, state-run media.
With the economy in the basement, the erratic stock market activity, the downgrade and three wars, President Obama’s approval index number reached a new low today.

-26
Rasmussen reported:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 19% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -26 (see trends).

This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama. The previous low was -24 reached yesterday and also in September 2010. Additionally, the level of Strong Approval matches the lowest yet recorded. By way of comparison, President Bush had ratings near the end of his second term in the minus 30s.

Apparently, there are 19 people out of 100 walking around this country falsely calling themselves Americans.

I am not suprised it is this low; I am surprised it took it this long to get to this point. I suspect it will continue to fall…

Seems the democrats are allowing Obama to go his merry and do whatever he pleases. I just wonder if Hillary is laughing behind Obama’s back.

She has an ego. Said she will not run after Obama is out of office. I wonder though. Because if Obama can reach 50% before 12 election they may won’t to rethink another to run.

Obama is done.

If Obama cannot reach at least 50% the democrats better have someone who can win.

All that disapproval and he still is effectively tied with the closest potential Republican opponents. Indicates to me that a big chunk of the his negative approval is from people who think he is not far ENOGH to the left.

I was talking to a friend and we both said that after he is out of office, oh, happy day, the new president has his first year to clean up the mess of Obama, if not longer.

This approval rating if indicative of the powers of Soros. I seriously doubt if Obama will ever lose the majority of the Black Vote. And unless the Republican Ticket doesn’t have a Hispanic, like Rubio or someone else, we really have a very close race.

And a great start for whomever that person will ultimately be would be:
1) the immediate rescinding of every executive order issued by The Poseur
2) Elimination of all csars appointed by The Fraud
3) Submission of resignations by upper echelon personnel in Dept of State and EPA
4) Begin the process for elimination of Dept of Education

I could go on and on….

Racism? This is completely par for the course. Every American white and black are struggling. Racism is dying. The more the blacks say these things the worse things become for our nation.

Maybe in the 50′s or 60′s but now? The blacks look foolish at least those on the left do. They have enough entitlements!

Actually, when the new administration gets in those entitlements will be less and this is really what they are afraid of. They will have to work, yes, any job is better than sitting on the couch and getting a free ride. Whites and Blacks are taking advantage and the day has finally come when they better start realizing Government doesn’t have anymore money.

I’d have to do a more thorough reading of this and one is always immediately suspicious of unnamed sources or insiders, BUT the scenarios described, while stunning as you’ve said, do seem entirely plausible within the context of the present administration. I believe a psychiatric evaluation of Obama would reveal a deeply disturbed individual with a genuine hatred for this nation. For the life of me I do not begin to comprehend why any one would identify with a biological father who abandoned you when you were an infant and then trash the race of those who loved and raised you. There are clearly some very obvious serious problems here.

I know some of the people who still “approve” Zero’s performance.
They are immune to actual facts. That’s why they are Libs. They
read the NYT and consider themselves thereby informed, and, by
the way, sophisticated and intelligent. They live in dreamland.
Of course, a large portion of Zero’s fans are blacks who never
saw a Democrat unworthy of their vote. Once they start really
thinking for themselves, (and I mean those now on the so-called
“plantation” maintained by the Demoncrat cabal), the Dems will
be history, just a bad memory.

Glenmore,
You are correct. The disapproval comes from conservatives AND from liberals who believe BHO has moved too much to the center….they all haven’t gotten what was promised (yet).
But of course there are dyed-in-the-wool folks who don’t care who the GOP nominates, they will still vote for the “D”…case in point the NEA (National Education Ass.) has already announced their endorsement of BHO before the Republicans even have a nominee. Obviously they do not care who the Repubs put-up, they’ll vote “D” everytime.
Course, how can I throw stones? In 2012 it’s ABO for me…ANYBODY BUT OBAMA!

Skinner commented:

Hey Folks –

Take heart in remembering Republicans gained UNPRECEDENTED amounts of House eats in 2010.

Because of this, Rep. Issa is chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight – he is quietly investigating Holder and his DOJ and will bring this massive issue to the fore at the right time.

Holder will face the heat under the spotlight, and when he resigns, Obama loses big time – this is the crack in the dyke that shall undo Obama.

With the Senate going Republican in 2012, and more House seats becoming Republican too, it doesn’t matter if Obama stays in the WH.

In fact, the cynic in me would love to see him self-destruct as a powerless skid-mark having to work with Republican majorities.

Watch for the race-riots if he does indeed lose the election…

GOD IS GOING TO PUNISH YOU LIBERALS FOR TAKING ALL OF AMERICAN’S MONEY FROM THEM, KEEPING THEM FROM GIVING TO THOSE WHO REALLY NEED HELP, INSTEAD YOU LIBERALS GAVE IT TO THE UNIONS AND ILLEGAL MEXICAN’S WHO DON’T DESERVE IT. YOU LIBERALS HAVE STIRRED GOD’S WRATH FOR DENYING ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND TO BE FREE TO LIVE ANY WAY THEY WANT.

HEY OBAMA! GOD’S KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR! HEY PELOSI, DURBIN, SCHUMER, REID AND THE REST WHO’VE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON GOD AND HAVE ESTABLISHED A CULTURE WHERE YOU WORSHIP THE EARTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT INSTEAD OF HIM.

All I can say is, everyday liberals aren’t in Washington taking our rights away, and giving us in return Maurice Strong’s idea of how the world should be, is a good day, earthquake or not. Liberals should be afraid, very afraid because we may be seeing something that is the beginning of God’s wrath being poured out upon anyone He said, who turns their back on Israel.

And you dumb liberals believed that the Jews didn’t matter and you and Maurice Strong could do whatever you wanted to American’s and anyone else around the world.

If God destroys Washington, I’d hate to see all the Capital and all that wonderful stuff being destroyed, but better that then have the country go to hell intact. Haven’t you read the Bible where it says that it’s better for a man to enter heaven blind than to have gone to hell with both eyes open? That’s not per batem, but you get the idea. I would rather have the nations capital and all that’s in it destroyed, than watch our nation gone to hell with everything intact.

God did this to get Washington’s attention. He’s tapping on the shoulder of all liberals, right now.

At some point, the Republican field will start to clear out and the presumptive nominee or the candidates for the nomination will become a bit more obvious, at which time the Old Stupid Media will their “vetting” campaign against them. That is the time to hammer them mercilessly on their non-vetting of Obie.

Never let hypocrites off the hook.

Yrral @ 17 – I have a somewhat close friend who is one of those lefty loons who are immune to facts. We just had a conversation in which she cluelessly wondered why she was having so much trouble borrowing against her home in order to pay for $20k worth of dental implants. She had no clue nor did she want to hear about the whole CRA and Fannie/Freddie thing and how that stole her equity and makes borrowing so difficult, and why close to half her dental costs will be because of rats encouraging the ATLA (American Trial Lawyers Association) to wreak havoc on insurance companies and taxpayers.

They are brain-dead and happy that way.

This is good news, although -26 still isn’t low enough. When it gets to -34, then the disparity will be 33 srongly approve with 67 strongly disapprove. That’s 2:1. They can’t cheat their way out of 2:1. Of course, it should be -100, but there will always be die-hard lefties who won’t give up on him even though his actions have not succeeded in bringing us to full communism…..yet.

But the disillusioned left-of-center who have no equity in their homes and are losing their jobs are definitely rearing their heads.

———————————————————————————————————-
That is the biggest BS I’ve ever read. Racism isn’t dying, but your common sense is. Racism is stronger than before and you scumbags are the fricking proof.
Sure the name of the game is making anyone in office one term only. However, you have to be blind and dumb not to see what these teaparty/repugs and some dems are saying and doing when it come to Obama. I am not one to throw out the race card but you have to call it like it is. Many of these folks are wanting Obama out because they are racist and just hate to see a black man in the White House. It is what it is!!!
