Obama has a very bad poll day
The Kansas City Star ^ | July 20, 2009 | By Yael T. Abouhalkah

Like all presidents, Barack Obama says he won't let polls run his administration. Good thing, too. Because Monday's poll results were pretty grim stuff for Obama.

Summed up:

-- A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll said Americans disapprove of his handling of both the economy and of health care reform.

-- The survey's overall approval rating for Obama was 55 percent, the lowest so far.

-- An ABC News/Washington Post poll said Obama's approval rating was 59 percent, again lower than in the past.

-- That survey showed 52 percent of people favored his handling of the economy, down from 60 percent a few months ago.

-- And only 49 percent of the people in the ABC News/Washington Post poll approve of Obama's job on health care.

THIS is a CNN poll. Somethings up or down I should say.

Frankly, this fraud exposing himself is happening faster than I anticipated.

Yahoo has been running poll on 0b0z0 care. Our side was significantly ahead until the last hour.

The illegals, Acorn and living dead have taken over the Yahoo Poll:

Q. Support for the president’s expensive plan to extend coverage to millions of Americans while curbing Medicare and Medicaid spending has slipped in recent nationwide polls.

Where do you stand? Do you support the health care overhaul?

Yes. The plan will save lives and money in the long-term. 56%

Somewhat. It’s not perfect but it’s something. 3%

No. It will burden us with debt and won’t fix anything. 40%

Not sure/No opinion. 1%

195912 votes

We need your votes to counter the Acorn, illegals and living dead voters.

These polls sicken me, for no other reason than this.

A, if the status quo has not changed, then how can anyone say that he is doing a good job. He is doing NOTHING because nothing has changed!!!!!

But, there are many, many (millions I guess) who are feeling the pinch, salary cut’s, lay off’s, lower moral at the work place, increased infaltion, etc.

People this is WORSE!!! It doesn't matter if it's only a little, worse is worse.

Who can say they are better today than this time last year because of anything Zero did?????

I rest my case

Those numbers actually seem pretty high to me. If this nation DESERVED a good president, his numbers would be in the 20’s. As long as they are this high, this country is getting exactly what it deserves.
