First Ohio, Now Virginia - Obama Approval Dropping Like a Stone

Patriot Room ^ | July 8, 2009 | Bill Dupray

[Bill Dupray]

A new Public Policy Polling survey looking at how likely voters for this fall’s election view Barack Obama finds his approval rating at just 48%, with 46% disapproving.

Obama’s reviews are highly polarized with 95% of Democrats but only 9% of Republicans giving him good marks. His overall numbers are weak due to poor numbers among independents- 52% of them say they disapprove of Obama’s performance with only 38% giving him favorable ones.

[silverleaf]

let’s hope he keeps up the bad work long enough to get Virginia back a republican governor

[LS]

All good. I want to see some of those Dems admit they were wrong though. We can’t have a country where one party is 100% delusional. That ain’t right.

[Carling]

The independent numbers have to be unsettling for Obama, but the 95% of Democrats number would be the most troubling. As the economy continues to sink, those numbers will come back to Earth.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

The voters in those states are getting smart 9 months too late.

[Ikemeister]

Nationally, his ratings are dropping too. Rasmussen’s daily poll gives him a -5, the lowest so far.

in the vets today and used the old one of my wife voted for him and she and her friend said they will never do it again and that he is a complete idiot.

Of course the nurse had voted for him she said but after I said that this change we can believe in and hope and change is not working out she agreed but said she will give him a bit more time.

I pressed her and said about the spending and how we have no time now and how many other voters were not going to vote for him now.

By the end of the visit she agreed.

see most people are sheep with no knowledge of what this idiot is doing so when you point out that it is not good to be for bozo and that people are fed up of him they just follow the crowd now knowing they are in the popular group

let us all keep telling everyone we meet about how this hope and change is not what some voted for and how it is not working out

[TomGuy]

Well heck!

Now, he will be having another primetime news conference broadcast by all networks next week.

[Rodebrecht]

I’d like to know what’s up with the 9% of Republicans who approve of him.

[misterrob]

They will say that they should have elected Cankles....

[SERKIT]

We can’t have a country where one party is 100% delusional.

One party is delusional, and one party is completely dysfunctional. Let's work to fix the one that is dysfunctional - easier than a 3rd party approach, and we don't have time to set one up against the runaway Marxist juggernaut. The last 6 months ain't nuthin' compared to the damage that will be done in 2 or 4 years - heaven help us if we have 8 years of this crap.

[A. Morgan]

HA! HA!

[chippewaman]

It might be early but I just can’t see southern states like Virginia, North Carolina and Florida going blue again in 2012. Ohio, of course, will be huge again as always. Then we’ve got to get states like Nevada, New Mexico, Indiana and Iowa back in the red.

[M. Espinola]

~~ The snob factor ~~

'My media 'persons' will have to fix up those numbers.'

[NVDave]

Well, to do that, the GOP has to have a plan to restore the economy. They don’t. The worst thing about the GOP right now is that they show no understanding, no comprehension of what is wrong in our economy.

All the GOP keeps offering is “tax cuts.” Well, in a debt deflation such as we’re in now, tax cuts are only one piece of several policy possible responses from DC. They’re wholly insufficient for the size and scope of the problem we now face.

The GOP better start worrying about one thing and only one thing going forward: employment. That’s what the 2012 race will turn on — who has the mot credible idea to increase employment (first) and average wages second?

That’s the group led by John “ Obama is absolutely qualified to be President” McCain.

Interesting bit where Kerry, trying to distance homself from the reports he wanted McCain for his VP, accuses McCain of flip flops in the article.

[kalee]

In that picture he is starting to look like Gollum.

[clamper1797]

Who are these morons that claim to be “republicans’ who approve of FUBO. They are probably Republican like I’m the Queen of Sheba

[M. Espinola]

This wacko, loud mouth, clue-ball really looks the part.

[penowa]

I’d like to know what’s up with the 9% of Republicans who approve of him.

Powell Republicans?
