Wow, I expected it to be at about -6 today. The word must be getting about about Obamacare.

I’m guessing he really POed a large percentage of the population who voted for him so that we wouldn’t have to hear about racism again when he poked the anthill, so to speak, with the Gates issue.

This is good. It makes Congress take his legislative agenda less seriously, except of course for the Communist true believers who are just shown the need to ram the socialism project-of-the-day through before it gets any “worse”.

I’m wondering how long it will take even for those Dem strongholds—who are bearing the brunt of rising unemployment numbers—will wake up to the reality of their supposed “messiah”?

Wow! A 35-point shift in the six months since inauguration! If that continues, it may forestall any new socialist legislation till after the midterms, at which he should lose significantly. Then that might keep him out of trouble till ‘12. They’re already giving up on ramming through health care before the recess.

That’s a large move for a three day average poll. The “strongly approve” goes from 32% to 29%, which means that the new responses included today have 9% less “strongly approve” than the sample rolling off (from the 26/11). And still the data from 26/11 showed total approval at -11% and the “strongly approve” at 29%.

I thought 0’s approval would climb today, but not so.

Obama’s popularity, once gone, is gone for good. Clinton recovered because he had political talent, charisma, and was facile. Obama is a one trick leftist pony, and once he drives into the ditch doesn’t have the wherewithal to get out of it. He’ll just sit there, wheel spinning, him pounding the steering wheel, and muttering about Bush.

he picked up 1 point yesterday from diehard Budweiser fans...

Interesting video on WPXI in Pittsburgh this morning. Seems the high-crime Homewood neighborhood got passed over for stimulus money to increase police patrols. This caused a local pastor to lead a protest, giving video of a whole lot of black people who are very upset with Obama.

He's out Sham-Wowing at these scripted, propaganda events pitching his load of crap healthcare plan. He's not even hiding his outright deception anymore, he's lost the veneer of trying to be forthright. Hes making it up, lying flat out about what is in the bill. We need to infiltrate one of these meetings and rock him back on his heels like these hapless Democrats getting laughed out of the auditorium they speak in. I liked Rush yesterday really putting it in perspective, how pathetic these drones were in that AARP meeting, begging this Kenyan not to kill them or take away their treatment. How pathetic we have to beg our president. People need to wake up, this guy is out of control..begging this doofus for anything. The statist agenda is naked out there, they get this passed and you are groveling and hoping your government does for you.

You will know the wheels are off the Obamamobile when there is a high level resignation on his inner staff. My guess is that Hillary will be the first to bolt, sometime around November.

No, he is very intelligent. -10, that is the IQ of any American who voted for him.

The whole “magic negro” mystique was blown with the Gates issue.

He told people that he hates whitey, has a deep seated resentment of white people, and it anything BUT “post-racial”.

His election didn’t “solve” anything. And guilt ridden white libs just got slapped in the face with this fact.

Realistically, we can pick up at most 5 more points from the strongly approves cause they are all communists and/or blacks. But, we should be able to pick up at least 10 points on the strongly disapprove chart by early fall. This looks (hopefully) like a complete presidential collapse in the making. Obama could be in impeachment territory by spring.

A question. What bills/policies passed under 0bama are permanent and cannot be revoked by another POTUS?

I doubt he gets impeached because we have the Clinton legacy and it did not go all the way to conviction but by gawd..I do hope you are right.
the man is a travesty and a fraud. And a danger to the Republic, grounds for impeachment in my book!

I know the traditional assumption is that Obama’s entire fall can be put down to the state of the economy but when 54% of voters still blame Bush for the economy (Rasmussen)you have to look at other factors and in the last 3 weeks you have to attribute it to healthcare and the Gates affair. As to the latter, I think those ‘white guilters’ who voted for Obama were intellectually having second doubts about Obama but still felt guilty about bailing on him, but with his comment about Crowley their guilt just went away and with that they have made the final leap out of his tent into disapprove-the head over the heart.

Keep an eye on his strongly approve.. that numbers going to drop.. he’s basically down to just hard corp dems left in that group, and he’s going to start losing even those.

He’s already lost the indies and the retirees.

expecting this reaction from the WH:
1- Mass “town halls” by the 0 across the nation.
2- Playing the “race card” demonizing conservatives.

I was called by these people couple of days ago. They were polling on the state of the economy, and if the economy seemed to be getting better or worse under Obama-lama- Ding-Dong, and of course one of the questions was about my race. I so enjoy these polls!

Actually, this is THE question, and likely deserving of its’ own thread, if not sidebar-topic-thingy.

While the index seems to be staying steady at around -10%, look at the approval index history. There's a steady bleed from the "somewhat approve" into the "somewhat disapprove" column. His "total approve/total disapprove", which started the month at 54/45(+9), is now down to 49/50(-1). This is not good for Obama.

Obama’s popularity, once gone, is gone for good.

That, of course, barring another 9-11 situation. It'll skyrocket then, with the "rally-around-the-President" effect. That's why I think a manufactured crisis may soon be in the offing.

Yep, and he made a lot of enemies in the police and other LEO agencies with his "acted stupidly" remark. I noticed one of our local PD officers took his Hussein bumper sticker off his Prius this weekend.

“He doesn’t care about this....neither does Pelosi.”

Nah. HE does. That’s why he’s continually in the campaign mode. He knows his dropping popularity will affect his ability to foist his agenda on the country. Pelosi, on the other hand, can be hated throughout the country, but the freaks in SF who elect her love her. The dynamics between the two are different.
