USAT/Gallup: Obama’s Disapproval hits 50% as 53% Say Dems Abused Power in Passing Obamacare

As noted by Centristnet back over the weekend, President Barack Obama continues to sink in the eyes of the American people in the wake of the historic passage of Obamacare, with a brand new USA Today/Gallup released today showing Obama’s overall job approval underwater as only 47% approve while an all-time high of 50% of Americans disapprove of the job Obama is doing as President:

Obama’s approval rating was 47%-50% — the first time his disapproval rating has hit 50%.

Such elevated levels of disapproval for President Obama remind some of the net-negative approval ratings of his predecessor, George W. Bush, that consumed the Bush Presidency as public concern over the Iraqi war mounted. Indeed, Obamacare may end up being Barack Obama’s Iraq should the public’s views on Obamacare not reverse themselves in the near future. Before long, many national congressional Democrats and state-level Democrats may begin to resent the OBama Administration for saddling them with such a massive, unpopular policy in the lead-up to the November 2010 elections.

Excellent.

In the face of incessant propaganda, threats, PC suffocation and the vilification of dissenters, 50% of the people will tell a stranger that they disapprove of BO.

Most excellent.

Something must be truly rotten in Washington ... and the responsibility goes to Dems.

Only 34 RATS said no to Obozocare. They had their chance and come November WE THE PEOPLE will have our chance.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And many if not most of those 34 were vacillating.

Well, that’s it folks.

Fully half of the Country is now racist.

47% of the people must be clueless, socialist, and/or drinking the kool-aide...

And many if not most of those 34 were vacillating.

Let's give 'em all some R&R come November. REMOVE AND REPLACE!!

Sinking donkeys

[matthew fuller]

it is very possible that the popularity of Obamacare will decline even further, as “continued opposition will fuel calls for repeal and dog Democrats in November’s congressional elections. The bill was enacted without a single Republican vote.”..............

That says it all.

[mlocher]

The undeniable problem for Obama and the Democrat is that a two-thirds majority of the American public simply does not believe their talking points on health care reform, making any increase in popularity unlikely and further declines probable:

Administration spin, Conservative win.

Unfortunately, my waste of skin of a congresscritter will most likely still be there after November...Colorado 2nd CD, includes Boulder and other liberal asylums

This number will change once Obama, the Dems, and RINOS give amnesty to the illegals. A whole new voting block for Obama!! And the SEIU will take the new Americans to the voting booths!! What a country....

"Before long, many national congressional Democrats and state-level Democrats may begin to resent the OBama Administration for saddling them with such a massive, unpopular policy in the lead-up to the November 2010 elections."

What utter bullshit. The congressional Dems voted for Obamacare, and the state Dems supported it, all the way.

They commit political suicide, then whine about their own tragic deaths? Turds, every one.

Gallup polls anyone who'll answer the telephone, so who knows what you're getting with their polls.

Rassmussen, on the other hand, polls likely voters, so his results are much more accurate. His numbers for Obama are worse than Gallup's because of this difference in methods.
