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

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

SCOTUS just affirmed his position on healthcare and gay marriage.

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.

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.

His approval is about 50/50. Gallup like most of the polls have 3 to 5% with no opinion and a 3% margin of error.

I really doubt the media could cause the lowest approval ratings for a President in history.

If the media was on Bush's side the way they are on Obama's side. Bush would've had better numbers than Obama.

Media amplifies majority opinion thus giving the impression that there is less substance to the minority opinion. This results in a downward spiral for the minority. This occurred with Bush over Iraq, Obama over cancellation of health insurance policies, and Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair. However, with or without the spiraling effect, Bush would have had low presidential ratings just maybe not quite so low.

The most popular cable news media is completely in the tank for Bush. Their non stop attack on President Obama is the only reason his number are not higher. But I have feeling History will tend to ignore their partisan bullshit and Obama will be recognized as one of the top 10 Presidents of all time.

History will judge Bush based on how effective were his policies.

• George Bush's entire presidency was overshadowed by terrorism. How effective was the Patriot Act in stopping terrorism? Was it worth the lost of personal freedoms the country was founded on? Will the Patriot Act stand or will it be eroded by future legislation and the courts.
• What is the long-term impact of Bush's fiscal policies? He entered office with a surplus and left the country with a large deficit and a huge recession. So far, his financial policies don't look too good.
• What was the result of engaging in pre-emptive wars? Will his dream of Iraq becoming a shinning beacon of democracy and stability in the Near East materialize or will the US involvement prove to be the foundation for unending civil war and conflict. When the US is out of Afghanistan, will the government survive are fall to the Taliban and outside influences of Pakistan and Russia?

These three issues will determine how history will judge George Bush.
