Obama's Disapproval Rating Reaches New High

Yet more proof that any time Impomeni starts tossing around numbers, the reader should take them with a large degree of salt. His first screwup came even earlier than in most columns- saying that Obama has been in office four months. Huh? Yes, the United States had an incompetent buffoon as President four monthe ago- but that was December, and his name was George W. Bush. Oh, well I suppose Impomeni can be counted on to try to seize any outlier straw of a poll. After all, in his election eve foray into math, he confidently predicted McCain would win the election. Just proves- yet again- that apparently anybody can get an AOL blog.

Where is Pundit? Here is a story that was written just for you Pundit! I told you the polls are rigged. But you insist they are not. Well your polls are way off from what Mark has posted here. So who is wrong?

Peace
and
BonG!

Ryan: Mark!
With that said, let take a moment to stop and remember what was Bush's approval rateing in January, 18? Given the fact that the republican party has pulled out one of the largest misinformation programs in the history of the nation, and the approval rateing are still favorable, tells me that then president is doing just fine thank you.

Obama's 63% first-quarter average matches the historical average of 63% for elected presidents' first quarters since 1953. However, it is the fourth highest for a newly elected president since that time, and the highest since Jimmy Carter's 69% in 1977.

The historical first-quarter average includes two presidents whose scores exceeded 70% (John Kennedy's 74% and Dwight Eisenhower's 71%).

Hey Ryan, why are the Ras push Polls so far outlying/wrong Vs. all other polls, especially Gallup?

Thanks again for the RNC teabagging efforts: 4/13-16/09 GOP 16% Approve 69% Disapprove 15% Undecided

President Obama's job approval keeps rising re: Gallup 4/21/09 67% Approve while just 25% Disapprove! ttp://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx

Hmmm...look at the pictures of the crowds in Iowa City, Iowa today..Earth Day. Not many turned out to see Obama..
Some report 6,000..Some report 10,000 but if you compare the crowds with the Tea Party in Des Moines on April 15..The Tea Party was much larger, and people were coming and going all the time. (There are photos of both events) Obama has a very small crowd, all things considered.

Obama is a disaster and the stock market plummeted as soon as he was elected BECAUSE of his policies. As an employer, I pulled all my money out when it was clear he was going to be elected. I have a moral duty to have the money to pay my people and if I had left it in, I would have half what I had then. This country made a big mistake electing him and we are all aware of that now. If you take a novice and put him in a position he isn't ready for, this is what you get.

"In other polling news, Rasmussen also reported that the generic Congressional ballot is tied at 39-39 percent between Republicans and Democrats. This is the second straight week that respondents have indicated no preference between the two parties in the 2010 Congressional elections."
____________________________

This is not surprising to me at all. The People realize that the problem for the USA under Bush and his congress of Moderate republicans was that they spent us into a great big hole from 2000-2006 after Clinton and the most conservative congress we may ever see under Newt nearly zeroes out the deficit. However, The People are now beginning to realize that the solution to W and his MR congress was not Liberalism as they have proven a) they they are much more capable of spending us into an even bigger hole and b) they are more than willing to take advantage of a "good crisis" to scare the public into accepting their long dreamed of agenda.

While Liberals take the lead role and Republicans pretend to be opposed, Conservatives remain unrepresented in this government as they were in the general election. Now The People, no matter who they voted for are realizing that both parties are a great big mistake. In all likelihood, IMHO, they are in secret cahoots with one another to gobble up our meager earnings while their two party ruse continues to trick us into thinking that the solution to all our woes lies with either one of their parties.

Liberals want us to give them a chance and Republicans want us to believe that our grass movement is in support of them. Bah!! Republicans had better think twice before they assume they are exempt from our protests and that, somehow, this movement, this GRASSROOTS movement, is for, about or going to be handed over to the GOP as bad as they blew it, they can go back to their liberal butt sniffing ways; get a clue or face extinction.

That goes for liberalism too. They think they are ALL THAT right now with their "WE WON!" crap. All it is turning out to be is their chance to fuck up; their chance to show that they are no better than the G[lutony] O[f] P[urchacing] - in fact they are worse and we don't need 8 years (or even four) to realize it. At this rate, the libs will be lucky if they get more than two.

It is apparent that liberals are worried about this grass roots movement against what liberalism is attempting to do to our great nation. When their only defense, is a juvenile reference to their secret desire to suck on the nearest set of balls they can get their liberal lips around, we can see the hair on the back of their buttheads beginning to rise as they see that their childish play on words has little impact on what is being protested - Liberals, the GOP and an over reaching, over taxing, money flushing federal government that is no less oppressive, no less opportunistic, no less condescending, and no less concerned about the people they bleed dry than was The Crown of England against which we twice rebelled.

From these tea parties will come more and bigger protests and from those protests will likely come a true leader of the Conservative movement; perhaps even the start of a new party - a REAL second party to scare the beejesus out of this current psuedo two party farce/scam/ruse being put on by Dems and Reps. For too long Conservatives have tried to thread their message through the eye of the Republican Party; for too long Moderate Republicans have watered the message down (fucked it up really) and the Religious Right has soiled it with self-righteousness, holier than thou, Pharisee-like zealotry.

Come one come all, Republicans, Democrats and everyone in between! All those that yearn for the freedoms, liberties and protections of the past that are stolen from us little by little, day after day after day, so slowly that we barely notice until we are totally offended; and we are offended!

Come ye who recognize that the government has well overstepped its constitutional boundaries long, long ago and feel that it is time we put that government - OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS - in their place.

Come together, all those that feel the hand of government in their pockets and the eyes of governmtent in their lives every single day.

Come along those who don't expect a free ride but simply want a better ride to a better, freer more boundless future, not just for us, but for our children's children's children!

Violence is unnecessary; a block of votes is all we need. If we stand together we are powerful, we are mighty, we are the game CHANGER. THE PEOPLE are all the promises that have been made to us in campaigns in order to get our vote only to be broken and forgotten once we cast our vote.

And so now our preference is for no politician, but rather against them all. I'm sure they would like to know our preference so here it is: Let US show you the door. Don't let it hit you in your non-preferred fat-cat ass on the way out.

People! Are you tired of Republicans who foolishly waste OUR MONEY only to be replaced by Liberals who waste more of it? Then this fight, this struggle, This REVOLUTION is calling your name! Don't ignore the call; We The People need you! Let them throw their condescending tea bagger remarks at us; it is all the have; it demonstrates their underestimation of the real power that we can wield once we make up our mind to wield it. We are many and we can ROCK THEIR WORLD every two years.

Imagine if collectively a congress doesn't do what we want and EVERY vote in our block goes straight for the challenger. Not a single incumbent survives, no NOT ONE! Sure some Conservatives would be replaced by liberals or moderate republicans, but far more liberals and Moderate Republican douche bags would be replaced by Conservatives and the entire government would be reversed and given a message: YOU REPRESENT US ... OR ELSE!! And if the Conservatives we replace them with go moderate and soft, like they did in 2000, then they will face the same fate two years later.

And if THIS happens in 2010, what do you think The Big O will do on Nov 5, 2010? CHANGE. Finally! A promise forced is STILL a promise kept!! He would have then two years to become the great president so many believe he can be. And if he rises to the occasion, then more power to him. And if not then his incumbency will not survive our voting block in 2012 - no matter who else runs; the Challenger wins.

And if a group of elected office listens (just one Congress is all we need) - if they CHANGE - then why should they be challenged. It would be fruitless; Our block would keep the "listeners" in power. How many times do you think we would have to clean house - vote out an entire congress - before the politician finally realize that it is our way or the highway? We want our Constitution back - our inalienable rights! And if you won't give them back then we will take them back by force, not with arms, but by vote. The vote can be a very powerful thing if we stand together.

Revolution! It is time!!

The most casual observer of CNBC knows when the fed raises or lowers intrest rates it takes about six months to filter through the economy.

Obama just tripled the deficit. Lower fuel costs and flood of money will perk up the economy: SHORT TERM. Kind of like writing rubber checks to go shopping, lots of fun until the police show up.

The Fed has printed money at a rate NEVER seen before to flood the economy with money. The HISTORIC result has ALWAYS been inflation. Based on the HISTORIC rate Obama is printing money the inflation will make the Jimmy Carter 1970's (12%) look tame.

Cap and Trade taxes to pander to the left for votes will result in those taxes being passed onto the consumer. ANY energy source will skyrocket in price for everyone!! Even those 95% of Americans who Obama said will see increased taxes.

When the stimulus money runs out many towns and cities will have to cut programs the stimulus money funded. Are your politicans going to take the heat and cut those programs or raise YOUR taxes?

All this in just 100 days.

How looooow can we GO!!!
Time will tell.

Respectfully,
Pete

Rasmussen is the most acurate poll out there. It is neither done by democrats or republicans.

I HAVEN'T VOTED IN 30 YRS AND GET TIRED OF HEARING HOW BAD BUSH WAS !!!!!!!
HE IS NO LONGER IN OFFICE OBAMA IS. HE PROMISED THE PEOPLE HE COULD WALK ON WATER AND THEY FELL FOR IT. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THESE GREAT MIRACLES HE PROMISED I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TOO LONG AS I AM UP IN AGE

Mark, Why does conservative granddaddy pollster Gallup report President Obama's job approval keeps rising re: Gallup 4/21/09 67% Approve while just 25% Disapprove? Http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx

The long term data includes 81 polls begun 1/21/09 over 90 days, ten times the polling for ANY other President!

Obama's approval rebound is due to increased support from all political groups, but especially from independents and Republicans, whose support had been waning.

Over the past week, independents' approval of Obama dropped from 62% to 54%, but is now back to 62%.

There has been a sharp increase in support among Republicans, from 27% to 42%.

Democrats' support for Obama was already extremely high at 86%, but even this has climbed slightly, to 90% in the latest polling. http://www.gallup.com/poll/116224/Obama-Approval-Rating-Increases.aspx

You ain't seen nuthin' yet! This iceberg just fell into the water. We are just feeling her ripple waves. Soon she will strike our ship headlong and, like the Titanic, we will split in half and go straight to the bottom.

How low can we go? How deep is this ocean?

Impressive. We all know how well the Carter Presidency turned out.

Why thank you Pundit, I was hoping to see your post with the latest poll numbers.

Hi Peggy,
There's always a first time--the glass is always half full here!

Hey PCL! Obama's current approval Rating Increases to 67%

President Obama's Q1 average of 63% surpasses Reagan, Two Bushes & Clinton over their first Quarter results! http://www.gallup.com/poll/117598/Obama-Averages-Approval-First-Quarter.aspx

Obama's performance is well received, and appears to have won him back support he had been losing in prior days, and then some.

The speech certainly came at an opportune time for Obama, but a recovery was easily achievable because the decline in his approval rating was accompanied by an increase in the percentage of Americans expressing no opinion, rather than an increase in the proportion disapproving of his performance in office.

Since the speech, the percentage having no opinion of Obama has fallen back to 11% from 16%, while his approval rating has increased eight points.

There has been a slight drop in his disapproval rating as well, from to 25%. http://www.gallup.com/poll/117598/Obama-Averages-Approval-First-Quarter.aspx
