COOL TURNS COLD: OBAMA 'BELOW 50%'
Fri Jul 24 2009 08:24:16 ET

For First Time, Obama's Approval Rating Falls Below 50%

Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance, RASMUSSEN will report later this morning.
This marks the first time his overall approval rating has ever fallen below 50% among Likely Voters nationwide. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of Democrats continue to approve of the President'’s performance while 80% of Republicans disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 37% offer a positive assessment.

The President earns approval from 51% of women and 47% of men.

RASMUSSEN was the most accurate pollster for the final results of the 2008 Presidential election.

Bush was saved by 9/11.

Clinton lost the Senate and House in 1994.

obama is smacking the country with simulus, healthcare, cap/trade, and a lot of other things, all at once.

Despite this, he is still only at 50%. that's incredible.

And, instead of ppl talking about the healthcare mess... they want to talk about a professor and a cop.

Look, people are stubborn and many obamabots are simply not going to admit that they made a grave mistake so soon into this mess.

By the end of the year people will be begging him to leave.

6 months of pretty leftist policy and he still has 1/2 the nation behind him.

imagine when he goes moderate. he'll win the moderates and soft repubs. And he'll never lose the left, they have to vote for him.

Like Europe, they will be structural in that 10-12% will be the norm.

The moderates are the ones he's losing...where do see any evidence that this will swing back to the center. He'd have to loose Congress to swing back. Where in his make-up do u see bipartisanship or center left politics. He's at 49% and dropping.

I can only guess he will switch to a moderate platform next year, right about the time the economy starts to recover.

He'd be in sweet shape with some moderate bills, unemployment dropping, and maybe some military wins in Afghanistan.

Dude, he's only at 50%, despite 6 months of far-left policy. he should be at 35 lol... he's gonna be coasting high once he switched to moderate mode - which I believe he will do.

Come on 240 - stop playing fool all the time.

Europe has always had much higher UE than us, but we are getting there because of socialistic economic policies.

Please pick this book up.

i admit I had no clue what EUR unemployment was.
WIKI says we're in way worse shape than Europe.

The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the European Union (EU27) in March 2009 was 8.3% compared to 6.7% in March 2008

You dont get it do you?

?

Obama is not Clinton.

UE is not dropping any time soon.

You seriously need to read up on some of these issues. I told you the stim was going to be a disaster and you argued with me. Who was right on that?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....n o 240 he's at 49%. He is loosing the indy's. U can only guess huh? Why, what will force him, where do u see evidence. Nobody cares about Afghanistan...forget it. This is botist wishful thinking. There is nothing in either his history, political make-up, past legislation or beliefs that suggest he will swing center.

This is only recently as the EU has moved away from leftist policies and we are racing towards it.

Hey 3 please remind me why Clinton went center....

BECAUSE MOST OF THE COUNTRY IS CENTER , NOT RIGHT WING NUT JOBS

Rasmussen officially becomes the first poll to show the President with an upside-down approval rating. The pollster has him at 49% approve, 51% disapprove today. Rasmussen's polls are typically spot-on in the end, but he's been a consistent outlier on the approval rating issue

Full disclosure....Part of this is that Rasmussen samples likely voters, while most pollsters are sampling adults or registered voters right now. Likely voters typically skew Republican by a point or 2

Hey Blacken.....i wasn't asking u.

1994 Contract with America.

They had to drag Clinton kicking and screaming and Dick Morris saved Clinton by convincing him that he had to pursue a more moderate agenda to save his presidency.

Remember the phrase "triangulation"

Ah yes.............see thats a Softball which my Italian friend here just blasted out of the state.

blogesphere.
But remember the National Journal rating showing him as the most liberal Senator in 2007, the Poole-Rosenthal OC rating showing him the 14th most liberal Senator in the 110th Congress, the study placing him as a very liberal state Senator in the Illinois state senate? Perhaps all of these actually meant something after all. Obama was able to bob and weave as a candidate, and deride labeling as “old politics.” But as President you ultimately have to plant your flag somewhere, and eventually you will compile a lengthy enough record that labels begin to stick.....
