Obama’s Approval Remains at All-Time Low for Second Week in Row, Says Gallup
csnews.com ^ | 4-28-11 | Terence P. Jeffrey

Posted on 04/28/2011 7:07:33 PM PDT by Justaham

President Barack Obama’s weekly approval rating remained at its all-time low for the second straight week, according to the Gallup poll.

In the week of April 11-17 and again in the week of April 18-24, 43 percent of the Americans polled by Gallup said they approved of the job Obama was doing as president.

That matched the all-time low for Obama’s weekly approval in the Gallup poll. Previously, Obama had earned a 43 percent approval rating in the back-to-back weeks of Aug. 16-22, 2010 and Aug. 23-29, 2010.

Obama’s weekly approval rating peaked at 67 percent in the week of Jan. 19-25, 2009—the week he was inaugurated.

If Obama ever goes under 43% in Gallup he might as well resign.

What about the “Tucson bounce”?

What about the euphoria of liberals during the lame duck session of Congress, and the repeal of Don’t Ask / Don’t Tell?

What about his leadership on Libya?

The liberals have thrills up and down their legs about some of his actions, but “middle America” doesn’t seem convinced.

I thought the BIRTHERS should just shut up because Zero is transcendental and you can't oppose him other than theoretically?

''We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We've got better stuff to do. I've got better stuff to do. We've got big problems to solve.'' the president said before flying off to Chicago. The press conference was held a few minutes after 9:45 a.m. At 10:05 a.m. he was in the air, according to a White House pool report, which noted ''Oprah awaits.''

The only carnival-barker sideshow that's been going on for 3 years has been the Obama Snake Oil Show.

Arrest me, for what
Arrest me, for what? I'm late for Oprah!
I've got lies to tell and a nation to destroy.

Countdown until Obama leaves Office: 632 days as of April 28, 2011.

People tend to get thoughts/opinions in their head and refuse to entertain the slightest possibility of being wrong. 50 years from now, if we're still here and the bad(getting worse) reality is accepted as historical fact, these people will still worship obama. %40+ is still too high though.

Still way too high at 43%. If we get a “Perot” in the mix that is all he would need - that’s the exact percentage of the popular vote Clinton received when he was first elected.

I am glad.I wish every traitorous son of a bitch that voted for the bastard gets a belly full of him. I have absolutely no sympathy or empathy for them. That they inflicted him on me is,from my point of view, unforgivable. They wanted him. They got him. Let them enjoy him.

The 47% figure for those who don't pay federal income tax is 47% of workers. 65% of the civilian workforce over 16 pays no federal income tax. The 35% left is screwed.

So far there is that hard-core 40% who support him no matter what.

Suspiciously, that number coincides closely with the percentage of people now living off government handouts.

“The MSM has resorted to Gibberish to try and prop him up but it does not appear to be taking.”

And outright lies and sophistry, such as the “Gas is up a penny” story. Absolutely laughable crap from Obama’s mentally challenged minions.

Of course the BC didn’t help him. Most people are wondering why he allowed the BS to go on for 2.5 years when all it took was a call to HI(or for the feds to forge one). They can say what they want about the birthers, but Bozo is the reason they kept after him. In fact this is a win for the conservatives, because he was forced to do something he spent 2.5 years and 2 million dollars trying to avoid doing, that is showing his BC. One has to ask why he spent the time and money and many are.

Some have said his wealthy muslim Kings and or Soro’s will fix oil prices for him so that the cost of petro goes down and he will be re elected. I disagree... the majority in America are no longer falling for Obama’s teleprompted lies of partisan spin. This is why the administration is getting caught in a whirlwind of trying to control the free press. Even the media that adores Obama and they're progressive cause are fed up. It is refreshing to know that even with the media's bias for Obama-they cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

Hey, when 45+% of wage earners don't pay any federal income tax, and their guy keeps telling them other people are the ones that are going to be made to pay more to keep things afloat, does it surprise you that 43% of the people approve of this idiot?
