NJ Poll: Obama Losing the Middle

RealClear Politics ^ | 8/12/09 | RCP

New poll from Quinnipiac University (August 5 – 9, 1,301 RV, MoE +/- 2.7 %) shows President Obama's approval rating slipping to 56%, a five point decline from last month and down from his high of 68% in June.

As you might expect, Republican and Democratic attitudes about Obama are already fixed, so Obama's job rating decline in New Jersey this month is driven entirely by defections among Independent voters.

As you can see from the graphic below, Obama has lost a net of 19 points in his job rating with Independents in the last month, and is upside down with this group of voters for the first time:

President Obama may have inherited bad economic numbers from President Bush, but it looks like Obama also inherited George Bush's poll numbers as well!

Bwahahahaha!

My greatest wish is that Obama looses:

1) The house and senate

followed by

2) His job

Was just going to post this article as a thread, but it is a different article about the same one you just posted, so I am linking it here.

It does not matter the jackass will spin some more lies and the idiot “independents” will swallow them and feel all warm,fuzzy and forgiving. That and the dead shall rise once again and put their votes in.
We very well could be past getting real change through the ballot box.

Rule # 1 of American politics: Lose the independents and you lose your job.

Obama is fascinatingly polarizing. The really love minus the really hate is a small negative percentage.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

A majority of New Jersey voters are dumber than most.

[HiTech RedNeck]

How does he get his credibility back? A party can, but a politician?

[TheThinker]

Eagleburger had it right and Americans who arent' political junkies see that Obama is a charlatan. He's the biggest in history, as far as I can tell.

He's likely not eligible to be president and yet there he sits in the White House making executive decisions and flying all over the world on our dime.

Bout time for the WH to fabricate a disaster so they can divert attention away from their shenanigans.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

NJ is full of libs...the fact that the numbers are falling is a BIG thing here.

[WayneS]

That approval rating of 56% MUST be just people in New Jersey... Right?

[roses of sharon]

The people are dumb...the MSM likes it (and keeps it) that way.

[GOP Poet]

he can’t lose it quick enough for me.
I savor the day.

True. Otherwise, why would they live in such a high taxed, government corrupted state?

ALso keep in mind these are NJ numbers!
