29% strongly approving is still a dismal statement on American intelligence.

He could have horns and a pitchfork tail, and they would still approve of him. (On second thought!!!)

When you look at a lot of issues besides health care (for example, gun control), my impression is that the hard-left constituency in the country amounts to around 25% of the population.

That is probably just about correct...Thus the 25% approval for the big “O” no matter what.

Man, I glanced at the headline quickly and thought it said,

VIDEO: Scott Rasmussen (On FOX News): Obama Approval Falls To 17%

Heck, I think Queen Pelosi's numbers are down in that range, so truly, one can only Hope for Change.

All humans have some number of flu bugs coursing around their bloodstreams, and the body generally has plenty of white blood cells to surround and expunge them. If 25% of the cells traveling around the bloodstream were hard-leftist H1N1's, that's a significant number!

The sharks are a circling... I can hear strains of “Oh how I wanna go home... I’m tired and I wanna go ta bed”

Obama is not going to be happy with the 2010 elections. He isn’t going to have control of congress, The indies are breaking Right!

You have to account for a lot of ignorance in the percentage because you have to look at how the MSM has idolized the obamanation and constantly praised his every breath.

If you add up all of the people who are on the dole in one way or another, or are government employees, or who work for universities or other organizations highly dependent upon government funding, plus union members, it probably comes to around 30%. That is likely the floor of support for any Statist Lefty.

"MSM has idolized the obamanation and constantly praised "

After O's flub on announcing AARP was on board with the health care plan (not his--he has none), David Gregory asked Gibbs with a worried expression on his face--"the President just misspoke, right?". This is the same nasty piece who constantly injected venom into his accusatory questiions at Bush briefings. His expression was so dismayed and so concerned about what might be the fall out from O's AARP alip that he couldn't wait to make an excuse.

Dems and MSM--down the rabbit hole together--sounds like a good title for a book or a folksong.

I think of the MSM as our re-education branch of the government as they attempt to foist communism on us.

the liberals wouldn’t dominate the dem party if it weren’t 29%. If his support was in the teens, then we’d have an entirely different nation.
