Barack Obama sees worst poll rating drop in 50 years

[del]

Fuzzy math???

Obama's approval rating dropped from 68% to 54%

George Bush went from 88% approval down to 27%

lie much?

Where is the lie?

george bush's approval ratings didn't drop 61 percentage points from july to october 2001.

dope.

 

[paperview]

True.

A goat could have gotten 88% after 911.

Yes, your math is fuzzy rightwinger. Be honest and use the same time frame as the poll mentioned here. 27% approval for Bush in October of 2001? A month after 9/11? Oh, that would have been 90%.

There's no relevance to the same time frame in one presidency vs. another. That's an idiotic comparison. Bush's number is +16 for the time frame in question, only because of 9/11.

was bush president for fifty years?

The decline in Barack Obama's popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.

Big fucking deal.

So you can choose an arbitrary period of time and say Obama's approval dropped 10% ?
Got news for you boys.....Obama still has a 54% approval rating which is more than sufficient to beat any republican candidate out there.

The reason I posted Bush's approval numbers is that the approval of the republican party fell at the same rate. Can you imagine how bad you have to fuck up to have your approval rating drop 60% ???

George Bush had unparalleled support at this time in his presidency. Think of what he could have accomplished to help this country with an 88% approval rating and worldwide support for America.

Instead, everything he touched turned to shit.........the wars, Katrina, the economy
Want to talk about approval?
What happens when the republicans say..
We have earned the right to lead this country again

I would have to say that this steep drop was well earned. How bout that "Changing the Tone in Washington" stuff? This White House is becoming more & more arrogant and partisan by the day. Even some in his own Obama-Run MSM are beginning to wake up. When Journalists in his MSM start catching on,that's when his real problems will begin.

I see your back poll boy. Did you check the term measure of error? Actually there are only two major reasons to cite these polls. One is to get a current view of how people perceive the President. The other is to have a comparision to similiar time frames of other presidents. In this case there is a third interesting point, in that Obama has DROPPED THE FASTEST in the last fifty years of measuring presidents.

Bring numbers up is very tough. Barring an attack like 9/11, it usually takes some type of heavily supported action. I would suggest speeding up a withdrawal from Iraq, an impressive turn around in Afghanistan or creating jobs through support of small businesses.

so obamalama's war on America isn't going well. Who'd a thunk it?

you've got some spittle on your shirt, big guy.

the premise of the OP is that obama's ratings have dropped more than any other presidents for the same time period in their first term, in fifty years.

whether or not that's important is a whole 'nother story, but lying about it, and then going into partisan hyperdrive is just stupid.

too bad you couldn't work fox news in, huh?

 

[AllieBaba]

Obama doesn't care about ratings. I think he has every intention of staying in office regardless.

He won't, but I think he thinks he's actually going to be able to accomplish that. Screw the people, he's going for dictatorship.

We can't afford for these assholes to "create" anymore jobs ..........

And remember Forumites:

Consult your calendar. This is Polls Count day!

Excellent point. I can't imagine a time in an administration where approval ratings mean less. Other than, at the end of the lame duck second term.

 

[rightwinger]

Other than the fact that it can be used against Obama, what is the significance of choosing only July to Oct in your first year in office as a basis of comparison?

Wouldn't the first nine months of a presidency be a better comparison?

I guess not........you wouldn't be able to start a meaningless thread on that.


What do you call a 60% drop in approval rating?

An historic failure

Looks like his numbers starting improving a touch after he signed the economic stimulus package

 

[nodoginnafight]

but between the hours of 4:17 p.m. on June 2, 2005 and 5:16 a.m. on June 4, 2005 he was the most articulate president in U.S. history .......

 

[Sarah G]

True.

A goat could have gotten 88% after 911.

And one did..

 

[Meister]

And Obama will end up being a goat, also. Thinking about it...I think he's there already.

How silly this thread truly is, as the far right delusional wing continues to get traction against the tides of history. You guys are out. You are not getting back again. The moderate conservatives feel absolutely betrayed by you, and many at our place of business have said, "We will never allow ourselves to be betrayed by the whackos again".

you get a lot of political comments at the drivethru?

that explains why the fries are cold.

What's the point? Wouldn't Bush's 40 pt approval ratings jump in about a month in 2001 be the biggest in history? But what does it prove? That Bush was the best president ever? That Bush was history's best president ever for the month of September? That Bush was the best president ever in the month of September of a first term?

Other than one more meaningless dig at Obama to give the Obama-haters a new jerkoff fantasy for a couple days...

...what is the POINT???
