From February 26-28, President Obama’s approval rating was 44% in the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll. The president’s disapproval rating was 51%. Once Netanyahu’s arrived in the United States, President Obama’s approval rating jumped to 49%, and his disapproval rating fell to 47%.
There were signs that the Republican handling of the Netanyahu invitation was not playing well with many Americans. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released yesterday found that by a margin of 48%-30%, registered voters said that John Boehner should have talked to President Obama before inviting Netanyahu.
A February 17, CNN poll found overwhelming opposition to the way that Speaker Boehner handled the invitation. Sixty-three percent of respondents felt that it was a bad move for Boehner to invite Netanyahu without giving Obama a head’s up, and only 52% of Republicans supported Boehner not notifying Obama first before inviting Netanyahu.
The Netanyahu speech has not worked out the way that Republicans had hoped it would. Speaker Boehner invited Netanyahu as a power play that was designed to get congressional Republicans back on track after a disastrous first few months in the majority. It appears that the speech has done the exact opposite.

LOL - his RCP average is 44%.
He got 53% in 2012 too - so does that mean even less people support him now than voted for him 2 years ago?

the repubs are at it again :D :D

49% approval anywhere else = failure - unless you are an Obama cultist

lol from 44 to 49 that's up,only your math has it down
-
I'll say this - and i've said it for a decade...
you don't see the impact of an event for 7-10 days AFTER an event happens.
Dems nosedived 10 days after obamacare. Repubs nosedived 10 days after Palin announced.
The "day of" polls are meaningless, always are. IF IF IF Obama is kicking butt on polls on March 8th, call it a win for Obama. If he's sinking on March 8th, call it a loss for Dems. That's just how it is.

Tribal and party loyalty, brother. I wonder what % of people believe in bigfoot, ghosts, ufo's and demons
-

Then there should have been a landslide right?
The problem is the repubs served up a turd in 2012
Because if you can't win with a shit approval rating as you say, then you repubs are fucking pathetic.
-
A five point jump? Strike up the band. lol
How bad is this president when people have to celebrate his approval rating approaching 50 percent?

From "The One we Have Been Waiting For" - to this. lol!!!!!!

really not about the pres. it's about the repubs trying to make the pres. look bad and it backfired on them,oh well they have to be use to it by now :D
-
The president looks good because half the country thinks he is doing a lousy job? Seriously? The man sucks and he has the numbers to prove it.

what were Bush and CLinton's approval rating with fewer than 2 years remaining in office?
-

As I said before, Obama's approval rating is reflective of political and tribal loyalty.

Yes they suck for not being able to beat him, but that doesn't change the fact Obama is lousy and his approval ratings stink.

Who cares?

I'd add "blind" to that.

why don't repubs run an african-american candidate and take away this advantage?
see i dont think this is the case.
-
OB is a shit president. No doubt. But so was BUSH regardless of anyone who would adopt a double standard by denying caring about or defending his low approval rating.
-

They can't run anyone good. Its become a party of whiny blame-a-holics. Just listen to the little bitches who whine about OB daily on this board.

Because black conservatives are considered uncle toms and sell outs. A black conservative does not share the same policy position as the majority of black politicians or the majority of blacks for that matter. Black conservatives advocate against race based policies and against increasing the size of the welfare state. With positions like those being black doesn't help him in the black community.
-
Who cares?
You must. Unless Obama is the first POTUS whose ratings you are so concerned about.

I think it's the Hispanic vote they should be worrying about

Oh they tried. Well, not on the actual ticket per se, but they felt obligated to have a token black in a party position once Obama got elected. The Michael Steele experiment didn't go too well for them. But that is their fault for picking an idiot to start with.

they did the same thing with the women experiment they picked another idiot,palin :D

Probably and I'm sure they will try but it's not going to work. The small government position doesn't get a lot of takers the further down the economic ladder one is.
-

I don't. I didn't ask the question.
-
Unless the black is a grifting communist welfare spreading gay pos like Obama - most liberals want nothing to do w him or her.
That is why they love Hitlery too - she is a lezbo , a corrupt thief, a saul alinsky devotee, etc
-
I don't. I didn't ask the question.
Looks like a question to me.
Who cares?
Seeing how you only want to address Obama's approval rating and not the rating of his predecessors, it's quite apparent that you do care. Or just want to deflect from the issue as usual.

the GOP will be at its strongest if/when they stand up and say they've been whining about race/media for way too long.
Once they admit they're a split party, and just decide if they're RINO or conservative...
They'll be unbeatable at that point. I mean right now, there are essentially TWO republican parties. The tea party, and the RINOs. They hate each other.

How stupid is that? He asked a question I don't care about. And it has nothing to do with Obama's approval rating. But I know you Obama disciples dwell on moral equivalency. It's the only way you can deflect attention away from what a lousy leader that man is.
-
Walker / Rand or Rand / Walker or Rand / Cruz Cruz / Walker or something like that works for me.
F Jeb and Christie and Huck

F Jeb and Christie and Huck
For RINOS, Jeb and Christie are awesome choices. They represent the kind of anti-obama thinking, coupled with moderate social and fiscal positions, that they love. They don't like the big changes that a Cruz will bring... they like things how they are currently, along with some anti-left-wedge-race-issues for toppings.
Typical, but they don't win elections. Moderates don't win presidential elections anymore. Sorry.

He asked a question and you don't care about it enough that you actually have to make a post in regards to it? How stupid is that?
-

He asked a question and I told him I don't care. You're the one talking about it. I'm just trying to help you understand, since you apparently aren't bright enough to figure it out on your own.

You are posting on a thread about Obama's approval rating. Posted three times before he asked you that. Posted four times afterwards. Good job at trying to figure out you don't care.

No, but you are. As proven with the deflection and back pedaling attempts above.
Good job at not caring.

of course every nation has presidential fatigue after a jerk has been in power for over 6 years.
the fatigue - and subsequent sinking in polls - seems to be LESS for obama than clinton/bush.

Obama's numbers aren't reflective of performance. Once again, it's about tribal and political loyalties. Independents aren't as supportive but minorities and diehards will continue to be. There is also a stigma of racism if one were to criticize Obama.

Of course ... 108 million Americans receive assistance from the fed government, while 98 million adults work. Obama has gotten what he wants, A surefire way to ensure sustainability. Those who call Obama incompetent, foolish and stupid are wrong. He has cleverly stacked the deck, and there is no way back.. Its easier to go to war than take free money from people.
Republicans need lots of thriving people doing well ... Democrats need lots of poor and struggling people. The reason for the zero interest rate economy. The middle class has lost nearly 10% of its wealth ... while the top ten percent has gained nearly 40%. Where do you get poor people ... you take them out of the middle class and bring in uneducated, unskilled immigrants. What has Obama done?

absolutely correct. obama's goal was to create more dem voters. he did that, and very well. repubs giftwrapped it as well, as boehnner showed yesterday once again.
