Rasmussen - Obama Popularity DIVES, Govt.Doing Too Much, Consumer Confidence DOWN
Rasmussen/ The Lid ^ | 7/9/09 | The Lid

Posted on 07/09/2009 7:45:20 AM PDT by Shellybenoit

Ahem !!, Excuse me Mr. President are you listening?

Obviously he isn't. The latest set of Rasmussen Polls report that the public is losing confidence in President Obama, they think that the government is doing too much, and their confidence in the economy is falling quickly.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows only 30% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –8. This is a drop of 16 points in the past month. (see trends). Overall, 51% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far. Forty-eight percent (48%) now disapprove.

Obama was elected based on economic issues, but now, more Americans feel that he is doing a poor job on the economy than approve of his performance (43% to 39%) . Those are by far his lowest ratings yet on the economy . Thirty-four percent (34%) of voters nationwide say the U.S. is heading in the right direction, the lowest level of optimism since mid-March.

The general approve/disapprove margin is now smaller than his general election totals.

BAD news for Obama, good news for America.

Economy?

His lord highship and family are busy vacationing around the globe. Doing the important work of screwing America and apologizing for our whatever flavor of the day.

The financial disaster that these Marxists have created, and CONTINUE to create, is certainly putting MANY senatorial jobs at risk in 2010. If these government parasites want to remain on the tax dole, they had better start focusing on America and its people, instead of blind Marxist power and control.

Everything they have been doing since BHO was installed in office, has been to further their political stranglehold on America — they have DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR AMERICA. It is all about their monolithic empowerment and KEEPING IT.

Wake up America — (I think you are now: the polls say so)

Obama falling like a rock. We have reached the Rasmussen Crossover Point at last. Unfortunately this will scare Rahm and Obama into doing something drastic. Fasten your seatbelts.

With monthly apology tours abroad, date nights at home, and giving long-winded speeches on TV every day to an unemployed public, BO can’t be bothered with actually governing. That is why at last count, he has appointed 34 “czars” to run the country...most of them left-wing university professors. No wonder everything is going to hell in a hand basket.

King Obama and his mod squad is still in total control so what does he care how the American public is changing. Some of the idiots that worshiped this nitwit are now paying for it. The vast majority that still follow this cult leader are on the take one way or another.

I wonder if the celebration of Independence Day over the weekend might also have helped start to wake a few people up.

Well, well. 51% is now BELOW his election number, the lowest number yet. Now, let’s see those numbers get to Pelosi levels.

“I feel a Press Conference or Informercial coming on...”

Or a “Major Speech” on the focus group concern of the day. The cool thing about all this is... his TV appearances are not inducing starry-eyed adoration anymore. Teleprompter reading doesn’t put food on the table.

Auto response from The President of the United States: The President you are trying to reach has been disconnected.
Or I am currently out of the burning country on my worldwide apology/ summer tour of the world. I will be back when I feel like it, go get an ice cream cone and chill.
