Shhh… Obama’s Approval Rating Tanks to Dangerous New Level
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, September 21, 2012, 11:08 AM
Shhh… Don’t tell the biased Obama media.
Obama’s approval rating sank to a dangerous new level this month. The president has an approval rating at 46 percent and a disapproval rating at 48 percent.
Business Insider reported:
Obama’s approval rating in Gallup’s rolling survey has plunged 6 percentage points in two weeks, a troubling sign that puts him on shaky historical ground for re-election.
Obama’s approval rating is down to just 46 percent, down from a high of 52 percent after the Democratic National Convention. His disapproval rating, meanwhile, now stands at 48 percent, up from 42 percent after the DNC. Altogether, that’s a 12-point swing in two weeks.
Recall why the 50 percent threshold is important, per Gallup managing editor Jeffrey M. Jones:
The 50% approval mark is significant because post-World War II incumbent presidents who have been above 50% job approval on Election Day were easily re-elected. Presidents with approval ratings below 50% have more uncertain re-election prospects. Historically, two presidents below 50% in their final approval rating before the election — George W. Bush and Harry Truman — won, and three, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George H.W. Bush, lost.
Don’t expect this to make any headlines.

The polls showing 8 to 10 point Democrat oversamples from obscure pollsters no one ever heard of are in flood stage. This is meant to bolster Pew with their 9 point Dem oversample. Obviously the intent is to discourage Romney giving while helping Obama.
Of course it is all a lie but the Dems are counting on a majority being too dumb to understand that.

SSSSHHHH ! ! !…. When the Obama death cult senses their demigod is falling uderwater….that is when the hypno drug zombie psychopaths get unleashed by their phsychiatric programmers to inject shocking horror into the public phsyche with random acts of mass murder terror. STAY AWAY FROM MOVIE THEATRES FOR A WHILE.
Mr. Head commented:
I’d love to hear from the 46% as to what this guys has done? BUT before they mouth off on how he created jobs and that the economy is awesome…the MUST read the facts at: http://www.assheadnation.com/65-signs-that-the-economic-collapse-is-already-happening.html and the subsequent sub headers.
So with that said, let me comment for them:
….I so want Obama to run the economy since he’s done such an awesome job of it…oh and the foreign relations…he’s really kicking ass at that too.
I’ve noticed that the oceans are falling and we don’t have to talk about global warning anymore..he fixed that too…THANK GOD for this, Unicorns and double rainbows.
Oh and the student tuition debt of $1 trillion dollars, and how he’s made us #7 best whoops 10th best country in the world and how he has made our education system (UNIONS) do awesome stuff “FOR THE KIDS”…Thank you for that.
The $5 trillion of debt is also really awesome…you know what the joke is, right? Do stuff to Get revenge on your children for the troubles they caused growing up…This is just the way to do it…Thanks for not having to make me think of ways to do this
I have to run now, for I have tingling in my toes….I get that way when I read these awesome articles from the Barrack Initiative(BI)…I’m so afraid that if I keep reading these awesome articles, I may get that “tingling in the leg thing” and from there…who knows where it would go and that would be just to awesome for me to handle.
Oh one more thing….A reminder: The top 1% of this country shoulders 36.7% of the federal income tax burden, according to the National Taxpayers Union. The top 5% pays 58.7%. Top 10% pays 70.5%. The bottom half pays just 2.25%.
So I guess I answered my own question…46% of the country is “ON THE DOLE” and they really want to keep their unicorns

No problem there. Hollywood, more than anything else, has convinced me of the wisdom of that proposition.
Stupid scripts.
Comic book plots.
Pretty boys and girls with arrogant attitudes and little acting talent.
Inflated admission prices.
Hey, what’s not to like.

Who you vote about this election says everything about who you are. If you are an Adult Baby, whining, crying and demanding other people buy your contraceptives, give you food stamps, sustain your miserable lifestyle, you will vote for Obama. You don’t care that it’ll end the United States within a couple of years, nor do you care that your greed and indulgence is setting the world on fire. War on women? Your laziness and greed is causing women globally to be subjected to violent Islamic radicals. Is that $2 condom you didn’t pay for worth a global South woman’s life?
If you’re a responsible, compassionate and open-minded human being, you’ll vote for Romney. He may not be perfect (trust me, he’s not, and we’ll have to keep on top of him at all times), but he’s at least honest and competent.

The polls out there oversampling democrats are a joke and I am not fooled and it won’t stop me from voting!! It’s 1980 all over again. Rasmussen is only poll that has been fairly consistent showing that it’s at least a dead heat. The fact Gallup now shows it tied again says a lot about this race. I really think Romney is currently up by 3% or 4% Nationally if pollsters would do their job correctly.
AU11234 commented:
Also…Gallup uses Registered Voters instead of Likely Voters. In that regard Romney would be up 3% or 4% in that poll if they used Likely Voters.
JustSaying commented:
Since when do right-wingers trust Gallup polls? Or is this just cherry-picked? Barring disastrous jobs reports in the next 2 months or a miracle in the debates, this election is over. Romney’s 47% comment was just the nail in the coffin. There once was a time when those 47% could be persuaded that supply-side economics would allow for prosperity to trickle down to them, but after 30 years of said policies, even Romney understands that most of those 47% won’t buy that lie anymore.

Bill O called Rush an assasin last night on NBC. Another show I’m not watching. BO couldn’t make it radio so he disses Rush and Hannity.
succotash1 commented:
Listening to Rush just now and he was talking about “Big Sis” is working on an order to shut down the internet in case of emergency,it will be passed by executive order and is almost ready for Barry to sign.We should be watching this very closely.Sorry about going O/T but just felt it was worth mentioning.

JustSaying…… DREAM ON
DecentAmerican commented:
Jim, pls post the news about the demon lying to Univision about when fast and furious started….was reported by abc, of all places!
when he lies all the time, it becomes truth in his deranged and savage mind.
Patty commented:
If the far left would stop and take a breathe pummeling their talking points maybe the others who are on the fence can listen to the truth. Polls are like a delicious tempting dessert, it lures you in, you don’t want to look or be tempted but your will power gets the best of you.
This poll is good but should be better. Something is left out of the recipe. THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA AND HIS DESTROYING OF AMERICA. EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES JUST LEAVES A BAD TASTE IN OUR MOUTH.
Ghost commented:
American History, FACT:
15 Presidents have been re-elected to a second consecutive term
(exclude Grover Cleveland)
Each, EACH! one was re-elected by a LARGER MARGIN than his first election. This statistic is always true, 100%!
FDR embarrassed Alf Landon in 1936 even more than the landslide over Herbert Hoover in 1932 (btw, in 1932 the black community majority supported Hoover, but it changed forever starting in 1936) then forget 1940 and 1944 which are anomalies in every way.
This is also true for George Washington who won twice with electoral shutouts but he actually got more electoral votes in 1792 than in 1788 (72 to 59)
Does anyone want to bet that Zero will get more votes in 2012 than He did in 2008?
Please do, I’ll take your money.
