USATODAYGALLUP: Poll Danger Signs; Obama Tracking Lower Than Carter

The real poll that matters is bubba never got 50% of the vote. The only President to be elected then reelective with out the majority of the popular vote.

Excuse me... but why does that matter anymore? 'Bubba' ain't President of this country anymore... :cuckoo:
 
A number of Dems are breaking away in Congress - there is a shift underway in DC - and it only took six months for it to begin in earnest.

Obama's appeal was skin deep - his politics are offensive to the majority of Americans and they are finally realizing what the guy is actually about...

Don't get too attached to these numbers, Remember Clinton had some of the lowest approval ratings early on in his 1st term. Only to leave office with record approval ratings. Something tells me when Clinton hit 37% in approval in his first term many Republicans counted his reelection out.

June 1993 Clinton approval was at 37%

Look what happened after his 2nd term.
End-of Presidency Job Approval Ratings
Bill Clinton (2001) 65%
Ronald Reagan (1989) 64
Dwight Eisenhower (1961) 59
John F. Kennedy (1963) 63
George Bush (1993) 56
Gerald Ford (1977) 53
Lyndon Johnson (1969) 49
Jimmy Carter (1981) 34
Richard Nixon (1974) 24

Bill Clinton
First Term 49.6% Average approval
Second Term 60.6% Average approval


Now look at George W. Bush
First Term 62.2% Average approval
Second Term 36.5% Average approval

Clinton also had a dotcom boom and a resulting thriving economy....Christ i would have had great numbers too if dipshit me was pres. at the time....
 
Can anyone tell me who thought it was a good idea to create an appointed position in our government with the title of the dictators/Emperors who destroyed the only other major Republic in the History of the world? This is supposed to be a good idea???

I see a bunch of conservatives who do not have any national leaders they can talk about except family value candidates having affairs or govenors quitting because the going got a little too tough.

When all else fails let's talk about Obama's poll numbers going down.

I predict in 2012 Obama will have approval ratings close to 60% and will be re-elected.

Worst President ever? George Bush. No question.

For a President to qualify as "worst", that President must have actually made your life far more miserable than it was before his election -and that misery exceeded that which may have been produced by all other Presidents. Get real. For most of Bush's Presidency unemployment was lower than the average of each of the three previous decades. Interest rates were at an historic low and inflation nearly nonexistent. In spite of the world's worst terrorist attack that destroyed 1/4th of our economy in a matter of MINUTES and would have thrown any other country into outright depression. In spite of the recession Bush got handed. In spite of the impending collapse of what the Federal Reserve chair said was an "unrealistic and unwarranted 'exuberance'" in the market that was bound to collapse -and did just weeks after Bush took office. But unlike Obama, Bush had us out of that recession in less than six months -and during that ENTIRE time he didn't ONCE whine about it being the Clinton mess he was was handed or sit around and whine about the fact Clinton KNEW of three impending crises and did nothing to forestall ANY of them. Which Clinton didn't do because any action to forestall them would have been controversial and Clinton feared it would affect his "legacy" -yeah like being only the 2nd President to ever be impeached was a great thing after he committed felonies in order to get a lawsuit settled in his favor. LOL

Jimmy Carter is the worst President in modern history. And the fact you think Bush is the worst only reveals the fact you probably haven't even lived under any other Presidents but Clinton and Bush. Definitely not as an adult -or you wouldn't have said something so silly and easily proven to be totally wrong.

You predict Obama will be re-elected? I'm not giving it any better odds than Carter had for his re-election -the guy got tromped in a landslide in case you didn't know that. Maybe you haven't noticed but this is following a very predictable pattern now and Democrats are not likely to hold the majority in Congress much longer. All things Democrat are starting to stink to voters -already. With polls already totally reversed and showing voters trust Republicans over Democrats for 8 of the top 10 issues -including healthcare and the economy. Every few generations it seems Americans need to learn the hard way why it is so disastrous to give Democrats control of Congress and the White House.

YOU are probably one of the dolts who whined about the budget deficit under Bush -heard lots and lots of liberals insist his budget deficit was just unacceptable. But it took more than 200 years to slowly grow to that point. (In spite of the nonstop lies otherwise -Clinton left a larger deficit than he was handed too. No surplus ever existed except an imaginary one.) But NOW you whackos are so defensive you are actually DEFENDING the guy who quadrupled that deficit in just SIX MONTHS????? Are you for real? More than 200 years to get to the point it was when Bush left -versus Obama quadrupling that amount in just his first SIX MONTHS? Wow our public school system is much worse than I thought. Our deficit is nearly 2 TRILLION right now and expected to be at least twice that and possibly FIVE TIMES that before Obama finishes selling out this country just during his first term -thereby insuring it is so debt ridden it would take more than a century to even partly recover. That kind of debt carries the very real potential to destroy this nation as a superpower for sure and make it the worst debtor nation in the world instead. If that is a good thing in your book then I seriously question your patriotism.

A "trillion" clearly has no meaning to you and the other bobos who see no problem with that. It is a number that just means "lots and lots" to you because no human can count that high. In fact, it would take someone nearly 32 THOUSAND YEARS to count to a trillion and nearly 64 THOUSAND YEARS to count as high as our deficit right now -with no break and no sleep. Compared to it taking "just" 32 years to count to a billion. Give you any REAL clue yet what Obama has done to this nation? Any idea what your share of that debt is now? Clearly you haven't a clue what it means for ANY nation to own that kind of debt and the fact that other nations from which we have borrowed that money believe we are fast approaching the point where it will be impossible to pay back. EVER. ROFL If Obama gets his way, then in less than 10 years the US will likely OWE 1/4 of all currency in circulation in the entire WORLD! And you screwed up liberal whackos have the balls to DEFEND that as if it is a GOOD THING? But it certainly serves Obama's goal of the most massive redistribution of wealth EVER -all to nations that did not earn or create it and was stripped from the Americans who did. And only proves my point that liberals should NEVER be put in control of this country.

Sorry but Bush can't hold a candle to the damage this guy inflicted in just his first six months. And just think -he hasn't even started and we haven't even begun to feel the impact of what he has done. But second closest to this kind of damage would be Jimmy Carter who inflicted massive damage on this country -but now seems destined to step aside for the guy who left him in the dust after just a few months! Carter is the guy whose policies gave us double digit unemployment, double digit interest rates, double digit inflation rates, gas rationing and mile long waits to get to the gas pump. Without a doubt the most misery ever inflicted on the American people by any President in modern times -but we all have every reason to expect Obama -who is in over his head and unqualified for the job anyway -of exceeding that by miles. There are valid reason that since FDR Democrat Presidents, with the exception of Clinton -have not been re-elected to a second term. Americans just aren't THAT stupid.
 
The message is getting to congress that while the 0ne is personally popular, and pretty much unassailable, his policies are not popular at all. And the behavior of the leadership is making the average congresscritter look bad.

0bamacare seems to be a worse mishmash of confusion and red tape than Hillarycare, which was bad enough. Hillarycare crunched on problems less important than what 0bamacare has to deal with.
