This news is hardly shocking:
President Obama’s slow ride down Gallup’s daily presidential job approval index has finally passed below Jimmy Carter, earning Obama the worst job approval rating of any president at this stage of his term in modern political history.
How convenient it was for Christie to keep his rather large posterior blocking the view of Republican candidates, while he played his voters and supporters for chumps with his mincing indecision on whether to finally admit he didn’t want to run for the presidency. But for what purpose, the casual observer may ask in bewilderment.
Oh, but the answer is easy and was exposed today: Christie admitted, it was an “easy decision” to endorse Romney. It was an easy decision because it was his intention all along to endorse his fellow RINO.
It’s still a year out from the election, but Rasmussen’s most recent poll makes one start to wonder. It shows President Obama at 46% of the vote against GOP frontrunner Rick Perry’s 39%. That was a flip from the previous week’s Obama 41% vs. Perry’s 44%.
The Perry part of that poll is not really of consequence. President Obama tends to perform about the same against various other challengers and against the “generic” Republican candidate. The ebb and flow of a weekly news cycle has an impact on the fringes, but not so much on the core. And that core is the thing that one has to wonder.
The political campaign season is upon us (Did Obama ever leave it?), and we are currently being inundated with polls about all kinds of subjects, such as debt ceiling compromise, or preidental approval polls, or who won the Republican debate, so being an informed citizen and knowing how to validly interpret poll results is imperative. With the MSM bias when reporting poll results, this guide is even more important. Being knowledgeable will have you screaming at your TV and/or newspaper.
The president maintains that Democrats have compromised their principles by agreeing to billions worth of budget cuts that will hurt the Democrat voters. Yet Republicans are refusing to yield by not agreeing to eliminate tax breaks for owners of rich oil companies and corporate jets. Thus if Republicans get their way, there will be a one-sided or unbalanced deal that will the raise the debt ceiling but will force the government to make devastating cuts that aren’t necessary.
“If we do not have revenues, that means there are a bunch of kids out there who do not have college scholarships,” Obama said. “[It] might compromise the National Weather Services. It means we might not be funding critical medical research. It means food inspection might be compromised. I’ve said to Republican leaders, ‘You go talk to your constituents and ask them, “Are you willing to compromise your kids’ safety so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?”
The Carter record is a litany of despair, of broken promises, of sacred trusts abandoned and forgotten. His answer to all this misery? He tries to tell us that we’re only in a recession, not a depression — as if definitions — words — relieve our suffering. Let it show on the record that when the American people cried out for economic help, Jimmy Carter took refuge behind a dictionary. Well, if it’s a definition he wants, I’ll give him one: A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his!
First one up is the one that’s garnering all the headlines. After 2 1/2 years in office Obama is FIVE points down against ANY Republican: Note that it’s registered voters…which …
Time, the magazine dedicated to the Progressive Socialist movement, yet still professing to be a legitimate news source, has left Herman Cain out of the list of possible Republican contenders for the nomination. This omission has occurred twice: May 23 (page #35) and June 6 (page #16). It is obvious that Time, a representative voice for the Ultra Leftist movement that is so close to declaring themselves as Marxists, is omitting Cain for certain reasons. Reasons that go beyond bigotry and racism. They are scared to death of an intelligent Black man with the traditional values that Americans are searching for; a man who has actually accomplished meaningful achievements, a man who is not ashamed of his past, a man who can think on his feet, an articulate man who doesn’t need a teleprompter to keep from sounding like a moron, a man with integrity.
A few of the interesting polls from the recent week. The regional ones are from the DailyKos outfit (PPP) so…..
First up is last Friday’s PPP poll of 666 (hmmmm) Wisconsin Republicans:
First up on deck, the Rasmussen poll taken between May 9th and the 15th with a sample of 3,500 likely voters:
“In thinking about the 2012 Presidential Election suppose you had a choice between a Republican candidate and Democrat Barack Obama. If the election were held today would you vote for the Republican candidate or Democrat Barack Obama?”
- Republican Candidate 45%
- Barack Obama 43%
