Obama: Lowest Rating To Date

[VaYank5150]

At this point it's all about November 2010. With Obama approval bordering on just 40%, and unaffiliated voter support of Democrats in general now down to just 20%, the political blowback coming in November 2010 is going to be significant...

Uhhh, yeah. IF that is the case, why is the GOP leadership, as recently as last week, back peddaling on their estimates of how many seats they are going to take in November?

Simple underestimate politics.

Been there and done that many times...

So then.....prior to last week, the GOP was OVER estimating??? Are you serious? Why not just call it what it is? BULLSHIT!

Lowest rating?

How do you reconcile that Ronald Reagan had a lower rating at this point in his presidency?

How do you reconcile Obama's rating compared to Bush's 26% rating?

Spin much?

Reagan's policies actually led to an improved the economy and his approval levels rose accordingly.

Obama's are destroying it. The metrics that matter are unemployment, real GDP growth, real wage growth, and deficits/debt. He's headed in the wrong direction on all of these.

This is not good news:

Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year, a USA TODAY analysis of government data finds.

At the same time, government-provided benefits — from Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps and other programs — rose to a record high during the first three months of 2010...

At this rate, Obama will be absolutely toxic to the Democrats by November 2010...

You are nothing if not a liar and an idiot..if not a traitor.

Bonzo destroyed our middle class and set everything into motion to ship our best jobs over seas. But you see that as an improvement? Go fuck your self.

Conservative writer Ed Morrissey of Hot Air says the low numbers aren't related to Obama's poor handling of the Gulf oil spill.

"At least at the moment, the downward pressure on his numbers doesn't appear to be coming from his handling of the Gulf spill. Rasmussen shows an almost even split on approval for that issue, 34/33, although that could change abruptly if the media catches up to the story," he said.

The low numbers appear to come in relation to his handling of all issues.

Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20 (see trends).

I think it's due to the cumulative impact of many broken promises. The explosion of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, especially as related to Greece and Spainn whose social and economic policies are very similar to Obama's - just makes the absurdity of massive spending and debt look even worse to the American public.

People think the country is heading in the wrong direction for very rational reasons. Obamanomics is destroying our economy just the same way Progressive Europeanism has damaged the Eurozone.

Nonsense. The economy is doing poorly for many reasons that have nothing to do with President Obama. He can take the heat, that's why we elected him.

We all know she has that entitlement mentality.

Look, she hates him. William Jethro hates him. With the way Obama continually fucks up on so many levels, you can bet they're thinking about making a try at getting back into that big ol' beautiful white house!

Seriously, have we seen her even once come out and defend his abject ineptness on ANY issue?

 

[Sinatra]

I certainly agree there is deep dislike between the Obama and Clinton camps given Obama played the race card during the primary.

But to take on Obama in 2012 would require that the groundwork for such a coup would already be laid out by now from within the party - and no word on that is circulating yet. Perhaps this summer such plans could be put into place - we shall see...

You reveal a very poor understanding of economics.

The dem's are reeling right now. Obama is 0-4 in trying to save incumbents at this point.
If the trouncing of incumbents happens in november, and it's looking like it's a no brainer that it will happen, all of Obama's cards come off the table. The dem's will realize that he's nothing more than a lame duck within his own party.

You can bet the Clintons are eyeing all of this.

The government has created a Gordian Knot which is damaging the economy. History has shown again and again that raising taxes and increasing spending in a recession makes things worse.

Five Myths About the Great Depression - WSJ.com

The real answer is to relieve the burden of government so that the private sector can create jobs. Even JFK recognized this. Instead, Obama has increased the size of government from the historical peacetime level of 20% of GDP to 25% (even without ObamaCare). After every other recession except for this one, small businesses created the majority of new jobs. With the government sucking all of the oxygen out of the credit markets to fuel Obama's increase in federal spending, small businesses are not hiring.

Without the Stimulus package, ObamaCare, the increase in the scope of government, the end of the bush tax cuts, the threat of a VAT, real job creation would have begun in earnest in the third quarter of last year. Obamanomics has stalled this recovery. They are now desperately manipulating the unemployment stats with bongus Census jobs - and walking back their claims that unemployment would peak at 8% if the Stimulus were passed.

Greece is the prequel - it would behoove you to study the effect of their policies and compare them to Obama's.

You make a good point - if the political reset button is indeed pushed in November 2010, the moderates within the Democrat Party could rise up, push off Pelosi and Reid, and court the likes of Hillary Clinton to try and "save the party". That is how it would have to play out for Hillary to take such a huge political risk. You are correct - it could happen. At present a longshot - but certainly possible.
