Obama's Bounce Is Already Gone, And We Are All Racist: Poll Read More At Investor's Business Daily:

[DigitalDrifter]

You knew it wouldn't last.

Whatever uptick in approval President Obama got in the immediate aftermath of the recent Supreme Court rulings has faded quickly, a new IBD/TIPP Poll finds.

The poll, taken from June 26 to July 1, found Obama's favorability rating unchanged from last month at 45%. His overall approval rating is up just one percentage point, from 46% to 47%, while his handling of the economy dropped a point to 38%.

These findings contrast with a CNN poll that was taken last weekend and generated widespread coverage.

It showed Obama's approval rating jumped to 50% in the wake of the court's decisions to uphold ObamaCare and make gay marriage a constitutional right, as well as Obama's winning "fast track" authority to negotiate trade deals.

The IBD/TIPP Poll also shows that the public doesn't give Obama credit for those recent events. Just 35% say he is good at setting and carrying out an agenda on important issues of the day.

Racism In Our DNA

But the poll also shows the public largely agrees with Obama that racism is inherent to the U.S. In a podcast interview with comedian Marc Maron two weeks ago, Obama said, "The legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives . . . casts a long shadow and that's still part of our DNA that's passed on."

Despite having elected Obama to office twice by wide margins, 53% of the public say they agree that racism is in the country's DNA — with 28% strongly agreeing. Only 43% disagree.

But as is often the case, partisan splits are evident in the data.

By party affiliation, 73% of Democrats side with Obama, compared with 32% of Republicans and 50% of independents. By race, 84% of blacks say they agree with Obama, compared with 49% of whites. Women are also far more likely than men to see the U.S. as inherently racist — 58% to 47%.

I find it interesting that so many Democrats admit to their racism.... Given the Liberals' reputation for lying , I didn't expect to see that.

Thank God we're back to normal.

I am surprised that people believe as fact a poll which has only .0001% percent of the population responding...

Thank god you have a poll to tell you how to feel!

They're comparing one poll to another without any other data source considered. Kinda pointless.

And what was our last Republican president's approval ratings at this time in his 2nd term? I'll give you a hint. It's 17 points lower than Obama.
And Obama's approval rating stands at 47% according to Gallop, the same as his average rating since Jan 20, 2009. According Gallop, his approval is 47%, disapproval is 49%, and No-opinion is 5% with a 3% margin of error. America is about evenly divided on Obama's job performance.

I am not exactly sure why Obama even gets credit for the SCOTUS usurping of power.

 

[Freewill]

Thank god you have a poll to tell you how to feel!

When we are told the majority of Americans are for gay marriage exactly how does one think they know that bit of information?

 

[Freewill]

The truth is that if Obama does nothing, says nothing his ratings will increase. Which is what he has pretty much done in the last 6 months.

Yes, and then in the next thread you will be ranting and raging how the tyrannical communist dictator is taking over our nation and imposing a socialist agenda on Americans.

Not sure why you are so angry, what other then TPP has Obama done? And a smoke screen was run for him on that American job killing bill. So on that alone his rating should plunge but people just don't pay attention.

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act was pretty important. He also proposed a free community college plan, which is pretty popular. It is the fifth year of his term and presidential election politics are starting up, plus the fact that there is a Republican Congress doesn't help either. Nonetheless it's about as successful as you can expect it to be. Maybe his popularity is rising due to the fact he's not caving to Republicans anymore.

Not caving? Really? When did he ever cave? They are now BFFs since Obama went against his own party with TPP.

Hey look, a Gallup poll came out yesterday with Obama at 48% approve / 47% disapprove! Guess the bounce is back huh? Wow things change fast.
