Obama at 43% Approval.

[Soul Crusher]

The slide continues. 

[BodyProSite]

maybe he could slide into the over flowing red river in moorehead

[240 is Back]

He's at 47% by gallup.

We cannot compare rassmussen with past presidents, so as a predictor it isn't that useful.

Unless we're having a circle-jerk with current data, I find predicting is way more fun.

The slide continues. 

Bush was in the 20's and Cheney the teens. 43% doesn't seem so bad.

[240 is Back]

where was bush on 9/10/01?

Of course after 911 he was in the 80% and 90% range.

and actually if you read that little article bush has the highest approval rating of any president...lol

[240 is Back]

'actually if you read that little article bush has the highest approval rating of any president...lol"

I'm sure Roosevelt's numbers would have been really big on Dec 8, 1941, also.  Not exactly cool to gloat about numbers only possible because of an attack you failed to stop...

If Bush was 51% gallup and Obama is only 47% gallup - Despite the fact Bush had a great economy and Obama had a shitty economy - and the fact Obama is shoving liberal crap legislation down our throats - I think the GOp should be seriously concerned.

All these people saying "Obama is going to lose in a landslide in 2012!" are the same ones who had a circle jerk here on getbig a few months back proclaiming healthcare was dead.  Same ones who declared Amnesty will never happen - and now it's getting backdoored in.  The same ones who declared cap/trade dead - and now obama's just rebranding it "pollution control" to dare any dem to vote against something as sweet and innocent as pollution control.

Please, please please repubs.... STOP becoming so complacent.  Give obama props for being able to get shit done and for being a worthy opponent.  This smug thinking was present in August 2008 (hahaha now that mccain has palin, obama is going to lose in a landslide!). 

I just want the repub party to return to a sense of financial responsibility, lmited spending, and some tighter borders.  Stop screaming Lib at anyone you dislike, stop patting yourselves on the back before legislation is even written, and above all, stop assuming Obama is dumb and won't get anything done.  While you've been having that victory party, he's been buying off congressman and he's about to get his bill thru.  He's shrewd, accept it and stop celebrating after the 1st quarter

first of all dousch im not gloating simply pointin out the facts the LOL was b/c I dont think he is really worthy of the highest approval rating of all time.

wnd you say you want all these things but promote obama and his agenda? does that make sense to you?

[240 is Back]

tony i'm not talkin bout you... youre not here all that much.  i'm talking about the ppl who declared a win over obamacare 6 months ago

[Dos Equis]

The slide continues. 

A steady decline.  It will only get worse. 

[Straw Man]

popularity polls don't mean shit, especially this far from the next presidential election

all that matters are elections and all the Repubs have to do is find someone to beat Obama

the wild card is of course that by the time the next election rolls around we have full blown communism and Obama cancels the election and install himself as dictator

I assume at that point visionaries like Glen Beck will be in the Gulag (or executed as a political dissident) and Fox News will only air video of the Obama's dog 24/7

Straw - why on earth do you think this communist asshole is pushing amnesty for illegals next?  

Its called votes.  He knows the average taxpayer who goes to work is sick of his marxist agenda and what he is doing to this county so he will make up the difference with 12 million dumb mexicans who will all be signed up for health care, welfare, food stamps, etc.  

The LGBT vote like you and Chad have nowhere else to go, so you dont really matter.    

[240 is Back]

correct 33.  all about votes, districts, money and voting blocks.  working to assure re-election in 2012.  Mccain would be doing it right now too.  It's political survival.

All at the expense of the country and our future.  240 - do you agree with me that Obama is intentionally trying to collapse the system with health care, amnesty, cap & trade, etc?

I am still LOLing at those who actually thought this.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA <-- that's for them.

One can only imagine if Bush was still president how the media would beat that drum daily. 

[240 is Back]

wow, Obama is back at 50%. 

I guess we'll see in a week if he loses any steam over healthcare.  That wouldn't show up yet.

[BM OUT]

240 is a joke!!!!!!!!!Obams is shrewd?He get things done?The guy had a fillibuster proof majority in the senate a super majority in the house and it took him a year of deals to get health care through.Think Bush would have had trouble like that?This man can barely get shit passed when he has ZERO republicans able to do ANYTHING to stop him.They cant do a darn thing to stop ANY of it and he still can barely get his own party to get on board with his agenda.Has there EVER been a president drop in the polls like him?He is incompetant.If Bush had a super majority and fillibuster proof senate he could have declared war with Russia and the republicans would have been on board.Obama cant get ONE republican to follow him and can barely get his own party to follow him.Stop acting like he is a magician when its magical he has ANY problem doing anything he wants.He is a joke!!

Again,please stop trying to convince us your not a supporter of his,your every post proves otherwise.

'240 is a joke!!!!!!!!!Obams is shrewd?He get things done?'


Stim bill and healthcare.  Both POS lib goals, to be sure.  But he got them done.

amnesty is next, it's getting backdoored in.  Cap/trade just renamed 'pollution control'.

He got a terrible bill thru, Billy.   and its' #2 of 4.

You keep saying he got it through.How could he not?The republicans dont have the votes to stop anything he wants to do.You act as though he is getting stuff through against all odds.He has the votes to ban the color blue if he wants to.Whats amazing is he cant get it dont WITH HIS OWN party without giving the country away.He is so unliked that he has to cut deals,NOT WITH REPUBLICANS, but with his own left wing liberal party.He actually has to convince kooks like Kucinich to go along with him.That alone shows what a piss poor leader he is.If he was a leader,health care would have passed in Aug. as would the rest of his agenda.Im amazed you think a liberal getting through a liberal agenda with unsopable liberal majorities is doing something amazing.
