"Lookout below!"

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 19% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -23 (see trends).
Just 15% now believe the country is generally heading in the right direction. That’s down 10 points from a month ago and 20 points from a year ago.
Only 20% support continuing the U.S. military action in Libya. Most (52%) are opposed. An even smaller number (15%) expect the situation in Afghanistan to improve over the next six months.
(snip...)
Overall, 43% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) at least somewhat disapprove.

Back to numbers at the beginning of the week. I bet when he saw -22 yesterday, he got all excited that he was going back up.....lol. This guy deserves -99 quite frankly.
-23?
I think that it’s Celsius.
I only see two ways Obie can retain his job:
1. Voter fraud on an unprecedented, massive scale
or
2. Obama declares a “National Emergency” and suspends the elections.
The ONE has been having a bad week with the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Approval Index.
-22,-22,-22,-22,-23,-22,-23
or something like that.
I hope his 10 day Marthas Vineyard Vacation goes well.
The weather looks ok, Cooler with some clouds.
I think this means the GOP is soaking up a bit of the blame, too. JMHO.
The Short Bus of Hope, hopelessly lost.
I think the bus tour can be placed in the fail column.
3. Strong third party candidate to split anti-0bama vote. Ron Paul? Trump?
Come on America, we can do it!
USA!! USA!! USA!!
I would tend to agree on your point #1...Voter fraud.
A rebirth of Acorn with a brand new name of something like “Organizing America” has already reared it’s ugly head in swing States registering minority and lower income voters.
Same dudes..same agenda...same taxpayer funds and billionaire donors.....different name and logo.
bump.
The BEST he’s had in the last week is -22!
The most notable trend is the “strongly approve” number evaporating fast. His numbers are already low, but within that, it’s his intensity of support that is drowning fastest.
Taxpayer funding of these voter fraud groups has to STOP! How did we ever start funding ACORN? ? My head shaking is going to be permanent soon. . .
“I think this means the GOP is soaking up a bit of the blame”.
Right, I believe most of the 12% “somewhat disapprove” will vote for him anyway.
It’s not a done deal.

3. The GOP puts forward another disgusting, Menshevik empty suit, and is challenged by a strong, vocal, independent or third party candidate. Obama could win with as slender a plurality as 34%. Even at this point, I think he can rely on 36 - 40%.
THAT said, Obama could actually lose to the right independent candidate and a GOP candidate who offers a distinction without a difference to default Democrat positions and policies. That fatally defective GOP candidate could definitely be Romney, and possibly for comedic value Huntsman or Roehmer, assuming either of those mayflies make it to September.
wonder if he’ll break a new low tomorrow when the photos of him gallivanting around Martha’s Vineyard have been widely seen?
