Who was it on the board that was calling Obama worse than Carter?
Obama Poll Numbers Plummet Faster Than Carter's
Friday, July 31, 2009 2:59 PM
By: Dave Eberhart
President Barack Obama's public approval rating has plummeted faster than President Jimmy Carter’s, reports RealClearPolitics in its review of Gallup polling.
Carter first polled at a 66 percent approval rating, dipping to 54 percent by September. Meanwhile, Obama has already tumbled down to 52 percent approval rating at the end of July, according to the latest Gallup survey.
The bottom line: Obama began his presidency at 68, hitting 69 the following day. That translates to a 16 point drop since day one. In less time than Carter, Obama has fallen more, concluded the RealClearPolitics review.
By contrast, Richard Nixon was in office more than a year before polling in the low 50s. Lyndon Johnson did not dip that low for several years. Dwight Eisenhower did not score in the low 50s until 1958.
The RealClearPolitics review comes on the heels of the latest sobering data put forth by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. In its report released this week, Obama’s overall job approval fell seven points since June – 61 percent to 54 percent.
In other Pew survey findings:
# Among 30- to 49-year-olds, only 49 percent approve of Obama’s job performance – a 14-point decline from one month ago.
# With regard to Americans with annual family incomes less than $30,000, 55 percent approve today vs. 65 percent in June.
# Just 19 percent of Republicans say they approve of his overall job performance – a 12-point drop since June.
# While a plurality of independents approves of the job Obama is doing (48 percent approve, 37 percent disapprove), this is an eight-point decline in approval since June.
# Majorities of the public disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy (53 percent) and the budget deficit (53 percent), while opinion is split on Obama’s handling of health care (42 percent approve, 43 percent disapprove) and tax policy (39 percent approve, 42 percent disapprove).
# Thirty-eight percent now say they approve of Obama’s handling of the economy – down from 52 percent in June and 60 percent in April. In total, this rating has dropped 22 points from April to July.
# Approval ratings for Obama’s handling of the federal budget deficit dropped 18 points since April – going from 50 percent to 32 percent.
# Approval for Obama’s handling of foreign policy has slipped from 61 percent in April to 47 percent – a decline of 14 points.
# On Obama’s handling of health care, approval declined 9 points from 51 percent in April to 42 percent in July.
# Approval for Obama’s handling of tax policy also is down since April – from 50 percent to 39 percent.
Although Barack Obama’s job approval ratings have declined over the past month, the Pew report concluded that most Americans say they like “the kind of person he is and the way he leads his life.” Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) personally like Obama, while just 12 percent say they dislike him.
Despite the drop in Obama’s approval for his handling of the economy, 63 percent say they are optimistic that his policies will improve economic conditions in the country.
On the other hand, 49 percent of the public say that Obama’s policies so far have not made economic conditions better or worse – with 41 percent saying he is trying to do too much.

Luckily, as of Jan 21, 2009, all people became wise and polls suddenly became useful tools.
During the Bush admin, all polls were liberal lie printouts, and people polled were all stupid sheep.
-
Nope but Barry is shedding votes.....and all the polls are saying it. Further we can easily see that his bullshit isn't working and even Congress is catching on.
-
Well 240- do the math. He was a two term president-- Obviously the polls were at least somewhat accurate. Are you going to sit there with a straight face and tell me the public isn't starting to get pissed off at this jackass? Outside of the labor unions, illegal immigrants, and the environmental whackjobs nobody is pleased with Obama these days.

240 YOU AS ME,,,KNOW WELL FELLA THAT YOU COME IN HERE AND JUST GO AGAINST THE GRAIN TO GET A RISE,,,BEFORE ELECTION YOU LOVED THE POLLS AND AGREED TO THEM WHEN OBAMA WAS WINNING NOW THE POLLS SAY OTHER WISE TOWARS OBAMA AND YOUR AGAINS THEM,,,,i totally agree ;D
-
Where exactly are u from....
-
you lost get over it
-
I didn't loose anything. I wasn't running. Now we're all loosing. But thats ok, 2010 Congress, 2012 The White House and the douchbag Lib experiment should be well and truely over.
-
if you were as smart as you think you are you would realize it was the last 8 years that got us here
-
Oh yeah do tell, was it the Dems and the housing collapse or was it the labor unions and their bullshit. Did Bush cause GM to fail? Maybe it was the Dem controled Congress, no they didn't have anything to do with it. U guys are great for one liners but u really can't back anything up. But if ur quick I'm sure some scumbag on the Huffington Post can supply u with some ready made quip.
-
are you the same idiot blaming obama for everything.you can't have it both ways
-
it's always been my thought that obama is gonna get all the far-left stuff done early in his presidency, then he'll have 3 years' worth of positive spin and PR, and he'll be very popular in 2012.

Barry wasted all this money saying he could fix everything. The stimulus was targeted to fix a problem. It has not. Cap and trade will not fix the "problems" its supposed to fix. The medical reform act will not fix the problem its targeted to fix. Barry has not fixed anything. Bush has his share of the blame, they saw problems and didn't push enough reform. They didn't cut spending and worthless social programs. Bush had Congress and didn't cut cut cut while in the middle of two wars. He could have finished all these worthless entitlements. He didn't do it. But Bush was not responsible for the Auto unions' ruinous policies nor for the home loan bullshit.
240 u can post that shit all u want but whats ur proof. Why do u think that? Where in barry's make-up, history or belief system makes u think that. Clinton was not near as radical as Obama and he was forced by Congress to flow center-left.
-
I'd bet a dollar that if we had an election today Obama would still stomp the snot out of any Republican candidate.
Let's also not forget that in about 6 weeks the Obama administration will have a better record of keeping America safe than the Cheney (er I mean Bush) Administration did.

he was smart, shrewd, and theatrical enough to topple the RNC, hilary, and Rove.
Everything about him was arguably a work of inspirational art to reach the white house. His fist 6 months, he was very somber and serious, facing huge problems and potential collapse.
My belief, as he is a showman, is that as we get closer to election day, he does a lot of high profile appearances and popular moderate acts, winning back swing voters who, in 3 years, may not remember who henry gates is.

Obama's numbers are falling in part because he's waffling and moving to the center, thus losing some support from people on the left who put him in office in the first place.

You can bet your ass, if given an August 5 memo like Bush did, Obama woudln't toss it in the fireplace and continue his vacation.

They love him less also, sure. He's kept some bush policy in place that Maddow and friends dislike.
But if they have to choose him, or a zealot like palin, he can count on their vote.
-
Ok dude...straw anybody running now would lay out all the domestic spending out and choke Barry. We'd never even get to foreign policy where we've either treaded water, followed Bush or conducted an even more harsh policies based on events. The guys running things under Bush are all still running things under Barry. Its all about the economy and its all still pretty bad.
Yeah 240 thats exactly what he did....where do u come up with this shit. Do u know what a National Security study is or when it gets published? Bush's first (draft) one came out prior to the 911 attacks and outlined the threat of foreign terrorists. Bush and the admin knew full well the threats. Clinton laid it all out as best as he could and Bush was moving to change laws and the way things worked, to deal with them. U need to read.

Barry is failing and his numbers dropping because he has lost the indy's. A number that is growing.

In mid-2009.
BB, do ya really think he'll be foolish enough to push this left-wing stuff in 2011 or 2012?
-
All he has is left-wing stuff. He's not going become a completely different person in a year or two. The only thing that will change him is a Republican Congress.

you have been wrong on him on just about every issue thus far/he has broken the majority of campaign promises thus far, what makes you think you will be right on this?
-

hey, you think he is dumb enough to continue polarizing actions into 2012. I think he's smart enough to curb his left-ish acts when the election rolls around.
i guess we'll find out.
Hey, speak up guys. Do you guys think Obama will be pushing far-left agenda in mid-2012, or do you think he'll pretend to be a moderate then?
-

So what if he presents a more moderate agenda? Are you going to vote for someone based on the fact that they will change directions with whatever way the wind is blowing? A tiger does not change its stripes, you think Obama is going to pull the wool over America's eyes once again to get a second term?
