at 53% today. Sad, but this may be the reality: (from DU)
They can see it's going to be an uphill battle and many of them don't want to be the butt of a historical joke like McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis and even George H.W. Bush. Lose an election in landslide fashion and you're never going to live it down.
You'll be known until your death as that guy who got his ass kicked by Obama.
Which isn't entirely fair, but it is what it is. Do you think Mondale is more remembered for his vice presidency or the fact he was on the wrong side of one of the worst electoral losses in American history? I know when someone mentions Mondale, my first thought is near-50 state landslide.
Barber-OUT (He, himself said the reason was that he could not beat Obama)
Huckabee-OUT
Christie- OUT
Daniels-OUT
Thune-OUT
And I am sure I am leaving a few out
There currently is not ONE ACTIVE SENATOR OR GOVERNOR seeking the GOP nomination! That is amazing. And it really says a lot.

Mal - tell me one thing - even one - that is better today than the day that pofs took office.

Evidentially 53% disagree.

Evidentially 53% disagree.
Yeah - at this point GHWB was at 80% or so.
Again - please tell m one thing better today than it was when he took office.

Poll went up 7 points from last week, which was down 7 points from the prior week.
What causes this? To me, it seems like there's a lot of noise in the data. The only plausible thing I can think of is that maybe older groups are actually scared of the perceived Republican standpoint on Medicare/Medicaid.
I'll admit I don't know the sample size or the predominant demographic behind Gallup. Do they ever list it?
Either way, it means nothing right now, unless there continues to be a steady, upward trend. If the economy remains the same, there shouldn't be one.

Not impressed. If he hovers around 50 percent, he's toast.

WASHINGTON — President Obama's top adviser on U.S. manufacturing touted gains made by General Motors and Chrysler since their 2009 restructurings with $80 billion in taxpayer aid, but said it's too early to say when the government's remaining stakes in the two will be sold.

Ron Bloom spoke to White House reporters Wednesday after release of a report by Obama's National Economic Council titled, "The Resurgence of the American Automobile Industry." It says taxpayers likely will lose about $14 billion of the $80 billion.
The report came ahead of the president's scheduled visit Friday to a Chrysler plant in Toledo, and amid clear signs that the administration is moving to take credit for the survival of the domestic auto industry.
"A lot of people said, 'You're throwing good money after bad; you'll never get out; these companies aren't saveable,'" said Bloom in praising Obama's "courageous decision to stand behind these companies."
That decision was widely criticized by those who believed they should go it on their own, as well as by those who believed that even federal aid could not save them.
Bloom said that the market share for U.S. automakers is up, that thousands of jobs have been added and that GM, Ford and Chrysler are better equipped for another rough patch if gas prices rise more. "The Big Three are making better cars, and they're making better, more fuel-efficient cars," he said.
The report calculated that 20,000 jobs have been saved or created in the industry. Recently, GM announced additional shifts and investments; Chrysler paid its government loans; and Fiat, the Italian firm that took a large share of Chrysler, announced its intention to buy the stakes held by the U.S. and Canadian governments.
"For the first time in more than a decade, all three American automakers are profitable, expanding production and jobs, and gaining market share," the report said.
The U.S. cut its stake in publicly held GM by about half last fall, and Bloom said the rest will be sold "as soon as practicable." He said that the government will get out of the auto companies as soon as it can, while recouping as much of the investment as it can.
Bloom said that while the loss of $14 billion would be serious, it would still be worth it: "We're not going to apologize for the fact that there are literally hundreds of thousands of Americans working today because of what happened."
But many Americans still remain critical of decisions made by Presidents Bush and Obama, and Congress, to risk public money in private business.
Kirsten Kukowski, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said, "President Obama should put as much effort into making sure the taxpayers are paid back in full as they have been in taking unnecessary victory laps."

37 million uninsured Americans got free healthcare? Would that include all the people who work for unions and corporations that received waivers? How about the myriad of state laws passed well before Obamacare was ever implemented that allows an extension of healthcare coverage for the family members of municipal employees?
Is the 500 billion dollars Obama slashed from Medicaid to "fund" Obamacare justifiable in your opinion? The HHS directors admission that accounting tricks and outright falsehoods were factored into the cost calculations of Obamacare doesn't bother you?
Not to mention the fact that two judges have already declared Obama care unconstitutional.
If you consider Obamacare a success, you are deficient in elementary school math, basic economic principles and ordinary cognitive thought.
Mal, you are swiftly descending from a mere leftist know nothing who means well, to a complete fucking idiot.

On Monday, May 23, Chrysler declared that its bailout loan has been paid back. It will come as no surprise if that “repayment” gets touted during next year’s election cycle as proof positive that the government can mess with the economy and come out smelling like a rose. In reality, Chrysler’s original bailout was worth $13 billion, and its repayment is for $7.6 billion. Further, Fiat, the Italian company that owns Chrysler, was only able to make the $7.6 billion payment after it purchased an additional 16 percent of Chrysler’s stock, which, because of the conditions of the bailout, could only occur once Chrysler had repaid $3.5 billion of its loan from the Treasury. But Fiat and Chrysler are having a hard time getting private loans, so they got a $3.5 billion loan from the Department of Energy through a program that has been criticized by the GAO for lack of oversight and direction, and – miracle of miracles – suddenly they are solvent enough to pay the Treasury $7.6 billion.
At GM, the situation is even worse. Despite last year’s claims to the contrary, U.S. taxpayers are still on the hook for Government Motors. As The Atlantic’s Megan McArdle pointed out on May 12, 2011, the federal government still owns 26.5 percent of GM’s stock, and has about $20 billion left to recoup on the initial $40 billion loan. According to McArdle, that means “we need to sell the approximately 365 million shares we have left at about $55 per share, net of underwriting and legal costs. At the current share price of $31, we’d be left with a loss somewhere north of $9 billion--plus the $1 billion we gave the ‘old GM’ to wind things up, and the $2.1 billion worth of GM preferred stock we own.” In light of those looming losses, it is hard to keep a straight face when the DNC claims that the bailouts were the right choice.
So, to recap, the Obama Energy Department is loaning a foreign car company $3.5 billion so that it can pay the Treasury Department $7.6 billion even though American taxpayers spent $13 billion to save an American car company that is currently only worth $5 billion

It means that, as we said earlier, killing Bin Laden would give Obama a temporary bounce that would last, at best, a month.
Before Bin Laden got shot, Obama's approval rating was 45% or less. 4-5 weeks after he got shot (despite all those liberals claiming Obama was a lock for 2012), he's right back to around 45% or less.

No we are not! Between indes and Repubs - its obvious the majority of people hate Obamas policies. He sucks and is horrible. There is no way to spin his disastrous presidency in any way ther than it is, a fucking disaster and catastrophe.
The only ones propping up this horrific regime are the parasites on society:
The 95% ers
Government employees
Guilt ridden white liberals
Welfare Bums
Ex-cons
Eco-nazis
Gays/LGBT
Wall Street banksters and crony corrupt corprate tyes buying obama's favors
etc etc.
The only ones stil supporting this disaster are those who directly benefit from a collapse of capitalism and free market system.
Bottom line is that if you still support this admn you support collapse, failure, debt, unemployment, inflation, food stamps, etc.

2012 Voter Preferences for Obama, "Republican" Remain Close
Forty-four percent prefer the Republican; 39%, Obama
by Jeffrey M. Jones
PRINCETON, NJ -- Forty-four percent of registered voters say they are more likely to vote for "the Republican Party's candidate" and 39% for Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election, according to Gallup's June update. The current five-percentage-point edge for the generic Republican is not a statistically significant lead, and neither side has held a meaningful lead at any point thus far in 2011.
(http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/pxozsh_vh0gxaxlc6augvg.gif)
These results are based on a June 9-12 Gallup poll. The competitiveness of the race is underscored by the fact that Obama's re-election prospects on this measure did not appear much better in May, when his approval rating rose to the 50% level. Now that the rally in support for Obama is essentially over, the president appears to be in a slightly weaker position but still very competitive with his as-yet-unnamed opponent.
Voters' uncertainty about what they might do in the 2012 election is also apparent in the 18% who do not have a preference for Obama or the Republican at this point.
The poll finds Republican and Democratic registered voters supporting their party's candidate at similar levels, with independents breaking more for the Republican than for Obama. A substantial 26% of independent voters do not have a preference.
(http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/xmvl-_pzdkchtxil_yopzg.gif)
In Gallup's April and May updates on 2012 presidential election preferences, independent voters were evenly divided between Obama and the Republican candidate.
June Results Bear Little Relation to Election Outcome
Gallup asked similar generic ballot questions leading up to the 1992 and 2004 elections, when an incumbent president (George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, respectively) was seeking re-election but his likely opponent was unknown, given that there was not an obvious front-runner in the Democratic primaries in those years.
In June 1991 and June 2003, both Bushes held wide leads over their generic Democratic opponents. At those times, both presidents were quite popular, with the elder Bush averaging 72% approval in June 1991 and the younger Bush 62% approval in June 2003. Obama averaged 46% approval during the most recent week of Gallup Daily tracking.
Neither June generic ballot result was highly predictive of the eventual outcome; the elder Bush was defeated for re-election and the younger Bush won a narrow victory.
(http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/tspd1vjlie6aweq5rpofha.gif)
In other presidential election cycles when an incumbent sought re-election, there were obvious front-runners for the other party's nomination, so Gallup typically pitted the incumbent against that opponent in trial heat questions. These results from June in the year prior to the presidential election were also not highly predictive of the outcomes. Ronald Reagan trailed Walter Mondale in 1983 and Bill Clinton faced a five-point deficit to Bob Dole in 1995, but each incumbent handily won the election the following year. In 1979, Reagan held a slim advantage over Jimmy Carter, with Reagan denying Carter a second term in the 1980 election.
(http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/phq78nlraeglcgqpmsgpfg.gif)
At the time those polls were conducted, Reagan (45%) and Clinton (47%) had approval ratings similar to Obama's current 46%. Carter's was significantly lower, at 29%, because of the summer 1979 energy crisis.
Implications
Presidential preferences long before an election can give an indication of the current political environment, but their relationship to the eventual election outcome shows how much that environment can change in the months leading up to the election. If the election were held today, Obama would appear to be in a tough fight for re-election with a fairly close division in registered-voter preferences between the president and a generic Republican.
Regardless of whom Republicans nominate, if national conditions improve, as was the case from 1983 to 1984 and 1995 to 1996, Obama could win re-election easily. If they do not, as occurred between 1979 and 1980, or get worse, as happened from 1991 to 1992, he could be vulnerable to defeat by whomever the Republicans nominate.

If election were held today, Obama would lose [Gallup poll]
Daily Caller ^ | 6-16-11 | Alexis Levinson
Posted on June 16, 2011 9:20:56 PM EDT by Justaham
According to a Gallup poll released on Thursday, President Barack Obama would fall to an unnamed Republican candidate by a narrow margin if the election were held today.
Although 44 percent of respondents said they would vote for a Republican candidate when asked whom they would support in the 2012 election, only 39 percent of participants said they would vote for Obama. Eighteen percent of respondents said they had no opinion.
The poll was based on telephone interviews conducted with 914 registered voters between June 9 and June 12. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percent.
While the Gallup report notes that the Republican Party’s lead is statistically insignificant, the numbers suggest that the race is close.
However, recent surveys have shown that Obama usually fares well in a head-to-head matchup against the current Republican candidates.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released on Wednesday, for example, found that Obama would beat Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney, 49 percent to 43 percent.
The NBC/WSJ poll also reported that Obama would win against top-tier contender Tim Pawlenty by 50 percent to 39 percent.
Most polls have agreed with the NBC/WSJ findings, with the exception being a Washington Post/ABC poll conducted earlier this month that found Obama and Romney to be tied with 47 percent of the vote. When the results were adjusted to include only registered voters, Romney was found to lead Obama by 49 percent to 46 percent. It should be noted that Romney’s lead falls within the poll’s plus or minus 3.5 percent margin of error.

Dude-- even for you, this is a bit idiotic. I would have easily confused this post for one belonging to KC, VinceGoodrum, Strawman or 240.
Tell me you were just attempting to stir shit up.
40% of the country identifies themselves as conservatives, another 30% are right of center moderates. How could 80% of those people be parasites when they support your entire political parties base? Who in this country doesn't pay taxes, gets subsidies they don't deserve and are the "takers" as you put it? Takers get something and contribute nothing. By definition, that is a liberal. It's not even debatable.

Take a look at the state by state approval. It gets worse for him there. Apparently he is at that level in all swing states.

Wow. From the link:
Obama's 11th Quarter Weak From Historical Perspective
Only one elected president since Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter, had a lower 11th quarter average than Obama. Carter averaged 31% during his 11th quarter, which was marked by a poor economy and high energy prices. Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton were the only other post-World War II presidents whose job approval averages were below 50% in their 11th quarter in office.

Amazing how his stock has dropped. He was near 70 percent after he took office. He essentially got nothing from Osama, Libya, and the Iraq troop withdrawal. He must be sweating bullets over this.

This is the exactly the correct context in which to view his numbers. The trend is what's important, not the minor up/down fluctuations of the actual number.

Depends. If it's newt Paul or Rick - yes.
if it's Myth - no.
Romney is the worst of the 4 since he is Obama lite and give no one any reason to vote for him on Amy side.
-
see, the thign about romney losing - it'll GUARANTEE repubs put in a good candidate in 2016.
Myth wins, and you have 8 years of obama policy - THEN a dem wins. I'm seeing you have zero "real" repubs in office until what, 2024 lol...

Ron Paul is the only one I like. I wish Christie or Ryan would have run in this thing.

Oh really..u think. Christie has some interesting notions on gun control but besides that..he's ok. Much like Santorum and religion, Christie wouldn't touch the 2nd amendment. None of these guys' are perfect.

do you think the only reason a wimp like romney is going to win - is that repubs were just too dishonest to admit any of the candidates were flawed?
every time a lib would say "mitt is a terrible choice", repubs would respond with "but obama is worse".
Every time a lib would say "cain is kinda dumb", repubs would say "Obama is dumber".
Perhaps that inability to honestly assess their own candidates has left them with a shit candidate.

No, its really NOT all relative to obama.
If the GOP candidate can't raise money, the GOp candidate cannot defeat obama.
If there is no voter enthusiasm, there won't be the donations, the community GOTV effort, all that.
And its looking a lot like no matter how much obama is disliked, 18% of voters will stay home (see 2008).

Again 50% of this nation dont give a shit since they are socialist slugs, welfare scum, 95ers, parasites, grifters, looters, etc. They have to vote for thugbama to keep the welfare train going.
The only issue is whether enough of these lazy scum bags that make up the democrat party will sober up in time, wake up before noon, or work off their drug overdose to go vote on election day.

they wont. so please don't count on that.
the only way repubs win is to 1) motivate the base to donate and vote, and 2) win moderate voters.
Right now, the base hates mittens, and mitt's doing everything he can to piss off moderate voters by sucking up to Rush and backing every irrational religious trap taht santorum sets.

every time we hear you say "43 and dropping".
yet i dont think he's hit 39 yet... despite 2 years of "dropping".
just chill out. at some point, you gotta stop defending your party's shitty selections with "obama sucks worse".

you said the same kneepadding and cock sucking crap before the mid terms and was as wrong then as you are now.
Your problem is that you watch MSNBC and start to actually believe this false narrative they try to create that obama is some towering giant of intellect and popularity when in reality he is a false prophet, a liar, a disaster, a communist racist agitator, and an economically incompetent buffoon.
At 43% you can't spin that into anything other than what it is - he sucks ass to everyone who works for a living and is only buoyed by the racist 95ers, the far leftist enviro-nazis, the gays, the govt hacks, etc.
-
what are the other guys polling right now against obama?
at 43%, he's 5-6 points away from winning the election.
And when he's back at 48% next week (as you know, gallup fluctutates every 5 minutes), suddenly it'll be irrelevant, right?

Reagan was down 20 points. Kerry was ahead of bush by 15 points at one point. Pollling now is meaningless head to head, but thugbamas gallup is the worst on record and you cant spin that.
Even at 48% is a disaster for him since that number reflects overrepresentation of some groups he will get no matter what.

I think he's saying worst compared to his opponent in an election year, not worst overall, as clearly approval rating when not going into an election doesnt mean jack shit.

in that case, let's compare romney with reagan.
Reagan was a lovable guy, great with people, friendly and folks just liked him. He had a lot of tools - and a lot less baggage - compared to romney.
-
Romney doesn't have any real baggage. He has policy differences with the far right and Tea Party but we're a center right country so he appeals to the general voter.....

Obama's approval rating grows following memorable week
Source: CNN
Could Barack Obama's great week mark a turning point in his poll numbers?
After months of stagnant approval ratings, a new CNN/ORC poll finds that for the first time in more than two years, 50% of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling the presidency. And his overall ratings are bolstered by increasingly positive reviews of his treatment of race relations and the economy.
The new poll follows a week in which two Supreme Court cases boosted the president's legacy by upholding the government subsidies at the heart of Obama's health care law, the Affordable Care Act, and affirming same-sex couples' right to marry. All this while Obama took several opportunities to directly address the nation's racial tensions, closing out the week by singing "Amazing Grace" on national television.
The new poll shows Obama's approval rating up five points since a May survey, when just 45% approved of the job he was doing as president and 52% disapproved. The poll marks the first time his approval rating has been at 50% or higher since May, 2013, and only the second time in that stretch that his disapproval rating has fallen below 50%. It currently stands at 47%.
