Good Monday morning news BUMP!

[MrB]

There we go - right direction.

Especially heartening are the overall approve/disapprove numbers.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Lets break -14! Last night I caught a segment of local TV news - couldn’t believe it. They covered Obama including a womyn on his golf outing. They considered that a real news story - Wow. NOW I remember why I don’t watch any news show on TV. Pablum - pure pablum. I think Thomas the Tank Engine shows as being more informative than network news shows.

[markomalley]

Woo-Hoo!!!

[GonzoGOP]

What happens when the strongly disapprove passes the total approve? Does Obama go 24-7-365 on all the networks except FOX (because they aren't real news ya know /sarc). The most important thing is he shot his bolt in September and never broke into the positive. He gave us all a scare, but came up short in the end.

Now his September media blitz has completely worn off and each blitz seems to be helping less than the last one. His Nobel got him a one day boost. His war on FOX is backfiring worse than an out of tune 57 Chevy. Going nuclear on health care would sign the death warrant on the democrat congress, and they know it.

The “administration” can’t look at this and seriously think they’re going to be reelected moving in the direction they’re moving.

So what’s the plan? Who needs elections?

[DadOfFive]

One nugget from this, 67% think the stimulus did nothing or hurt the economy. Some people may not interpret it that way when reading this article.

[stockpirate]

Is there are reason you took up so much space for no reason?

[MrB]

Oh, there will always be elections.
Whether the results accurately reflect the votes is another matter.

[markomalley]

Is there are reason you took up so much space for no reason?

Just to piss some people off.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Didn’t you like the three graphs he posted? Or can’t you see them?

[tatown]

I loved it. Keep it up.

[DadOfFive]

Evidently you don't see marko’s wonderful (as usually) graphs. Try reloading. Thanks markomalley.

[Erik Latranyi]

I feel there are holdouts who do not want to oppose Obama yet.....whether for racial reasons or because it is so early in his term.

I think one major negative event will send his numbers down permanently.

[MizSterious]

I think the plan is Acorn-run elections. The Acorn candidate will win with 98 percent of the votes, just like Iran, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea. Let’s hope we can thwart these plans.

[Always Right]

Just to piss some people off.

Good answer

[thethirddegree]

Great post! The charts help my blood pressure.

[PapaBear3625]

The 11-day average is -11. The trend is down.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I think they zero is about to take another step down in the polls to the 44-47 range from the 47-49 range.

[deannadurbin]

Good, keep dropping. When it hits minus 16 that will be the first time it has gone below minus 15.

Realistically he should be at minus 20 or more, but there are still too many weak and stupid Americans today sucking at the Federal Government’s teat.

[HerrBlucher]

He’s starting to hover in the neg double digits, however, when I think of Obama I only need a single digit to express my feelings.

[MinuteGal]

Good one!

“His war on FOX is backfiring worse than an out of tune 57 Chevy. “

Hey! My 57 Chevy runs just fine, thank you! :)

[stockpirate]

It must be my company firewall, I see nothing what so ever but a big blank space. LOL

[spokeshave]

Trending down from a double digit base......the big momentum is bearing on down...

[GonzoGOP]

Hey! My 57 Chevy runs just fine, thank you!

Sure, but you get the timing out on one of those big blocks and you can rattle every window on the block.

[KansasGirl]

Going after Foxnews and the Chamber of Commerce was a dumb move on the Zero’s part. His arrogance and thin skin will be his downfall.

OBAMA = WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. Right down their with FDR, Carter, and Wilson.

[markomalley]

The graphs were on flickr. If you can’t get to flickr through your firewall, then...

I changed from just using the google docs view to flickr because of complaints; I need to find an image hosting service that is not typically blocked by corporate firewalls (sigh)

[Hawthorn]

>> When it hits minus 16 that will be the first time it has gone below minus 15 <<

True enough. But the largest gap so far has been “only” a -14. So even a -15 will signify a break thru the support level.

I usually can’t see your graphs but today I can! Good work!

[stockpirate]

Usually if something is blocked I just get the outline with a little x, but in this case I got zip.

[stockpirate]

The trend is our friend.

[LS]

Meanwhile, in the real poll, 52% disapprove is only 1 point lower than his highest disapproval, so it’s heading in the right direction.

[Texas Mulerider]

He’s starting to hover in the neg double digits, however, when I think of Obama I only need a single digit to express my feelings.

I'll add that to the long list of things that I wish I'd thought of first.

[shiva]

LOL! Good answer.

[NoObamaFightForConservatives]

Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove

Wow. He is not popular anymore.

It says 433 other articles like the one below but when you click it is UK news only. Why doesn't politico 44 that reports Barry's every move report this?

Well, he coulda used whiz instead of what he used but the intent was perfect.

[nikos1121]

They’re gearing up on the Swine Flu Crisis to make him look presidential. This is not a major crisis, but they will milk this like they milked Katrina as something to use to discredit Bush.

[KeyLargo]

U of C Courts Obama for Presidential Library

The White House

The University of Chicago would like to host an Obama Presidential Library.

Officials from the school have reportedly already reached out to the 44th president, still less than one year into his term as commander in chief, to consider the university where he once taught law as the location for his archives.

[cookcounty]

More downslope ahead...

Once the Congress actually passes "Health Scare" the target will be fixed and the actual analysis will begin....and the result will not be pretty for Obama.

And if it doesn't pass......that's bad for him too because he'll look even more like the leadership-lacking wimp that he is (see "Still More Dithering on Afghanistan", "Retreat in Iraq.")

[cookcounty]

"Oh, there will always be elections. Whether the results accurately reflect the votes is another matter."

Even Mao had elections.

Did I mention Mao again? ...Or did Obama's crew mention Mao again? It's getting hard to tell.

[MrB]

Mark Steyn coined a phrase this weeked that cracked me up:

“Maosketeers”

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

“They’re gearing up on the Swine Flu Crisis to make him look presidential. This is not a major crisis, but they will milk this like they milked Katrina as something to use to discredit Bush.”

LOL They could get his picture standing at the front of one of the lines of people waiting to get a shot. Helleva photo op.

[riri]

What happens when the strongly disapprove passes the total approve?

If past behavior is any clue, he will get on TV or in front of large audiences where he can be virally youtubed within hours and insult more subsets of Americans.

Then he will engage in some self indulgent and leisurely behavior with the family.

[y6162]

Yea! The Kenyan slips lower..lower..lower..

[HoneysuckleTN]

Thank you so much for posting those charts. :)
