Can anyone explain what tanked Obama's polling?

[Amelia]

To honestly answer the question I feel Obama did this very much to himself over a long period of time on a variety of issues.

First Obama divided the people, this along shrunk a huge amount of that support he would have had from anyone in the middle and of course right leaning but not necessarily partisan. Obama can't make it through any meaningful length of time talking before he tries and dump all the bad news on Republicans and as time has gone on, Obama blames every single person that does not fully and absolutely agree with him and his policies. So Obama's division was the first problem.

Next was Obamacare, passed without transparency, massive backroom deals and 2k pages that even Obama failed to understand at all.

Next would be Iraq lingering on and on and on and on until when the war finally ended no one really cared that it was over as much as they were wondering why the fuck it took Obama 3 years to do so. While the answer is because it was ended on Bush's timetable, the vast majority of people don't know that, they simply expected a dramatic close to Iraq and it never manifested.

Next would be the expansion of the war on terror and the entering of smaller wars known as "not wars" (coined by John Stewart). Many of the party (voters) were seeing they were now a bigger war party than Bush/Reps, while they might not say it out-loud it disillusioned them none the less on Obama's credibility and of course made them feel as though their vote was not so historic after all, coned from them if anything.

Next would be the string of scandals, overall let downs and and constitutional issues. The TSA to the NSA, expanding the patriot act, the NDA, the second amendment issue, the shutdown, the credit downgrade, the teleprompter President and the list goes on and on and on... even today the list is growing.

Obama's mistake was dividing the country, that is a campaign thing to get your base reved up, create hate, unimaginable hate towards your opposition. The problem is Obama kept this up throughout the last 5 years... If you ever find yourself on an opposing view of Obama you quickly see him for the hate monger he in fact is. The division kept growing but more people found themselves at odds with the president than were for him.

Now it's Obamacare failing on historic proportions. Even when it starts "working" it will run deficits, cost people more and anyone paying will resent those that get it for free...

You can't go after guns without pissing off the independents and tens of millions of Democrats... You can't go after abortion without causing the same problem. You can't keep telling people we need to be in perpetual war or you don't support the idea because Obama is our first black President... Obama does this, repeatedly... And again, slowly people that once liked Obama find that when you're on his "try and make people hate these guys" list, they find they are closer to the people they thought they once hated when only viewed through the Obama rhetoric.

None of us want massive deficits or never ending wars... None of us want to be spied on or feel it's good to spy on our enemies. Yet this is what Obama give us, and a whole lot more.

Add to this the Justice Dept. going after the press.

Big mistake.

That decimated Obama's damage control options.

Hillary did it. In reality Obama for the last six years has been very good at being able to convince the Mass's that his administrations mistakes and failures were due to someone else or some group--and they've come around to realize that he has some serious issues himself--and he's not getting away with the blame game anymore.

 

[Katzndogz]

His lies.

 

[Zander]

Was it the wonderful economy, everyone getting access to real health insurance, ending the wars in Iran and Afghanistan, and the way he is bringing down the deficit?

At least the oceans receded and the planet healed, right?

[Vox]

it's the Tea Party republicans in Congress - they blocked all the good initiative of our messiah, even his greatest achievement, the obamacare - and it failed

 

[HUGGY]

Can anyone explain what tanked Obama's polling?


A massive and continuous dissinformation attack campaign since his inauguration by butt hurt old AND young rascist white people that would rather destroy the country than have a ****** in the white house?

 

[Papageorgio]

Government's approval rating tanked. President, Congress, the whole operation.

Nah, Congress ratings tanked long ago, Obama owns this.

 

[Papageorgio]

Obama got caught lying, his ratings tanked.

Gotta love that mindlessTP hate ...

 

[Amelia]

Gotta love the nation finally seeing the truth about Obama.

You can't have a divided country and expect the polling to be more than 51/49 %. It won't stay that way. How do you come out a winner when they attempted to repeal the healthcare bill 42 times?

Everyone has campaign promises they don't keep. Did you get your tax rebate that was promised?

Did the price of oil come down enough?

Are the job numbers good enough? Do you have consumer confidence? Businesses were waiting for Black Friday for sales that would boost consumer confidence according to a t.v. reporter. I wanted to ask the reporter how you get consumer confidence for sales when everything is made in China? Shouldn't China be getting the consumer confidence?

Unfortunately for Obama, the chickens have come home to roost.
Even many democrats are running away from this guy.

 

[Kosh]

This is a ploy by the DNC and it's media outlets (not unlike what they did with Bill Clinton) to set up the fact that Obama will have to work with republicans in the coming years.

It is also to set up a run for Hilary trying to push her as more moderate than Obama.

 

[Geaux4it]

Obama is a disgrace and a complete epic failure

This coming from a far left Obama drone.

DOW's at an all-time high today, over 16,200. So ya, wonderful economy.

But if asking about latest polls, that's not hard: Obamacare.

 

[Rozman]

The lie he told over and over did him in....
Even the Liberal media had no choice but to turn on him with that one.
We all know he lied and the talking heads on TV just could not cover for him any longer.

Hater pub dupes....
or dupe pub haters..or
Hater dupe pubs...

Or maybe Obama just suks as president?
