Obama Approval Numbers Sinking Further Faster!

Posted by: Mike's America @ 11:32 am in Uncategorized  | 497 views

THURSDAY UPDATE: INDEX REACHES -8.
If this keeps up it will be “bye bye Obama” in 2012!

A record uptick in Rasmussen’s Presidential Approval Index portends disturbing news for the Hopey-Changey brigades. This is the first time that the index has gone so sharply negative.

Recent Gallup and Qunnipiac Polls Show Similar Downward Obama Trends

Gallup’s daily tracking poll for Obama approval also shows a record low of approval and record high disapproval.

Key findings in the Quinnipiac poll released July 2nd include:

  • The number who disapprove of the job President Obama are doing has risen 8 points, to 33% from the March 4, 2009 survey while those who approve have dropped by 2% to 57%
  • While the numbers who say Obama is doing better than expected or about expected remain steady, the number who say “worse than expected” has risen 5 points since March.
  • Approval for the job Democrats are doing in Congress has dropped five point since March while those disapproving has risen by the same amount.
  • Approval for the way Obama is handling the economy has dropped 5 points since March while disapproval has risen by 9.
  • While the number who approve of Obama’s handling of foreign policy has remained relatively stationary at 55%, the number disapproving rose dramatically by 14% to 35%

Across the board it is becoming clear that Obama’s approval is slipping. It is at the point now where some who voted for him are now having regrets and expressing their disapproval. If current trends continue, Democrats will be in an extremely vulnerable position in 2010.

In all the polls, Obama’s approval is, at minimum, in high 50s and disapproval is 20 points lower. Considering all the economic bad news, those remain very good numbers.

Obama got it right. If the economy improves, he’ll be re-elected. If the economy doesn’t improve, he won’t be re-elected.

To be sitting at + 20 points on approval/disapproval, when unemployment has risen to levels not predicted and when members of his own economic team concede that things are going worse than projected is a very strong situation in which to be. If the economy does come back, he’ll be untouchable.

So, who wants to bet against the economy, over the next two years?

@openid.aol.com/runnswim: What economic bad news? Democratic Governors were testifying today that the stimulus was saving countless jobs! Oh, wait, unemployment numbers are up again?!

Actually Larry, “all the polls” don’t say what you say. Read the numbers on that Rasmussen poll. 52% “somewhat” approve or better, and 48% “somewhat” disapprove or worse. That is only a +4 points on approval/disapproval. The 52% is important because, as the Rasmussen article points out, this is the first time that his approval has slipped below his election number (53%).

Additionally, as Mike’s graph showed, and most pollsters see as a much more important indicator, his “strongly” approve/disapprove numbers are 32% (strongly approve) and 37% (strongly disapprove) giving him a -5 points. This is much more indicative of where he stands, because those who indicate that they “strongly” believe one way or the other are much more likely to vote their beliefs in future elections.

Basically, the numbers in your comment just don’t wash (+20 points is quite a stretch), and the economic indicators continue to slide, regardless of the fact that the Dems keep saying otherwise. In fact, they are so bad the Democrats are talking about a second stimulus. America is waking up from it’s stupor, and the Obama dust is getting wiped out of their eyes.

Mike, he’s not spinning anything. Larry actually believes what he says. Scary, eh?
If the economy improves he MIGHT win re-election but don’t bet on it. A lot of people ARE NOT happy with what he is proposing in health care and crap-and trade. Seeing how radical he and the dems are has shaken a number of people who normally wouldn’t break from supporting them.

I know I’ve written this in the past, but will restate it. Obama’s “goal” is not to be re-elected. Well, at least his “main” goal, as I am quite sure the Obamas would not want to give up the party house, Air Force One, and 1500 mile pizza deliveries.

It should be obvious to both sides (as it FINALLY is to Colin Power), that Obama is playing “beat the clock.” Everything Obama, pupeted by the Soros/Alinsky masters, has to REMAKE, he needs to have into law or action by 2010. After that, he will never again, have this kind of power.

It’s also more than obvious that Obama has no intention of helping the economy. He was put into that office to DESTROY the economy. I’ve said that from day one, and finally heard Mark Levin say the same thing. All one has to do is read his “Alinsky Bible”, ‘Rules for Radicals’; no need to keep guessing.

Obama’s plan is clearly to destroy and “remake” America.

Well if Cap and Trade and Health Care pass, I will

Obama’s polling numbers are falling because of his handling of Iran and Biden and Tyson’s remarks on the economy last weekend
