Obama's Approval Rating Hits New Low
CBS ^

Posted on 04/02/2010 10:21:30 AM PDT by Chet 99

Last week, President Obama signed historic health care reform legislation into law -- but his legislative success doesn't seem to have helped his image with the American public.

The latest CBS News Poll, conducted between March 29 and April 1, found Americans unhappier than ever with Mr. Obama's handling of health care - and still worried about the state of the economy.

President Obama's overall job approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 44 percent, down five points from late March, just before the health bill's passage in the House of Representatives. It's down 24 points since his all-time high last April. Forty-one percent of those polled said they disapproved of the president's performance.

And he’s been real busy claiming, just like on the farm, the H.C. seeds have to have time to sprout. RIGHT INTO WEEDS. Any farmer would have never planted weeds to begin with.

“who the hell are they polling that gives this guy almost 50% approval?”

Whether it’s 50, 40 or 30 - that number of people approving of this commie means this nation is in BIG TROUBLE. We’ve got a huge education effort ahead of us. At least his numbers are dropping...

“It has to be lower than the media reports. They are loathe to report on how badly their Dear Leader is received.”

I agree. Which leads me to think that November will be worse than the RAT punditry (that would be the ‘press’) is hoping for.

It will be UNEXPECTED.

MSNBC talking about poll numbers and Obama going after media about polls. Bill Press just said every president in history has gone after the media and Spiro Agnew was the worst. Wow, I never knew Agnew was president.

Be careful.
The MSM may now start to UNDERESTIMATE Zero’s disapprovals so if he has a slight rise between now and Nov. they can say how miraculous his “comeback” is.

Always beware.

“it must pain CBS to report even a leftist set of numbers that don’t approve of their god.”

That much we know is true for the RAT propagandists.

How low can she GO? At 30 there will be much more talk of impeachment. At 25 everyone will be begging the Birthers to get to it.

And no one is talking about the price of gasoline, up about a buck from a year ago.

Higher the price, higher the disapproval, happened with Bush too.

Wanna bet that he’ll come out and say he doesn’t want to run again?

He can't run again.

The states that have or are working on laws that require public disclosure of proof of eligibility to appear on their ballots will keep him from it.

He'll play the martyr to the hilt, but he's toast for 2012.

“I do wonder how the democrats plan to turn this scenario around - it seems that they don’t have a plan, but that simply cannot be the case.”

Well, if they *do* have a plan, it, like their policies will either utterly fail, or people will decide to buy their lies once more. I’m pretty hopeful for the first of those scenarios.

And they want it up at $4 to $6 with CRAP and TAX.

Exactly, at 5 bucks, a lot of the alternative energy sources are commercially feasible.

And Obama did say that what he objected to was the quick rise in the price, not the price itself, at that time, well over 3 if not 4 bucks a gallon, IIRC.

Does CBS have a special version of Microsoft Word that inserts “historic” into any sentence that also features the word “Obama?”

As anyone knows who defended Bush, suddenly you’re ridiculed for being in such a minority position. (It’s rules for radicals in reverse!)
