Rasmussen Daily Index Ping.
Still more noise, I think.
Simply confirms what I’ve thought all along: 23% of the US population is brain dead.
That's a rock bottom estimate. From the poll, 45% "at least somewhat approve."
“23% of the US population is brain dead.”
It’s a glass half full thing. The bad news is that the share is that high: I’d feel better if it were only 5-10%.
The good news is that these clueless folks only represent less than half of the total number of Americans who do not pay income taxes (and hence don’t feel any particular need to engage their brains when it comes to matters political and/or don’t have any brains with which to earn income in the first place). We need to cross our fingers that the remaining half of non-payers of income taxes don’t mirror them in mindless strong approval of the worst president in the past century.
I’m sure he is lower than this.
The improvement this week was “noise” Now Raz is catching up with all the other polls.
A new low cycle seems to have been reached at 43-45% approve, with 55-56% disapprove. One more Solyndra will permanently put him under 40%, although already I think he’s in a hopeless position politically.
0bama must do something seriously embarrassing and stupid to lose some of his soft support. His bad policy moves matter little to the soft supporters. The drones will never leave him even if 0bama committed a pedophile act on live tv.
Let’s hope the depression gets the better of him for the sake of the country.
I want to meet the 23% that strongly approve.
Wait. No I don’t.
I never thought much about Obama dropping below 45%, given the nation itself is so divided, but by golly when Ras had him at 43% I knew he was dang sure at 43%. So, if he could get down there in the lower 40’s, tell me, how has he eeked up to 45% with the Gunrunner showing the incompetency and Solyndra showing the corruption? If he can get to 45 now, he can be good for gaining another 5 by election day and win the dang thing. He is a phenomenon and so are the voters who clank when they vote for him.
Your lips to God’s ears brother.
I pray you are correct. Even his core constituents are beginning to figure out that he's a total failure.

FUBO GTFO! 491 Days until Noon Jan 20, 2013
23% of the US population is brain dead.
the same amount of people that thought Bush was running in the last election . The former head of Acorn said ,”we need to kick Busk out of office and elect Obama(2008)
rasmussen’s polling is STUCK ON STUPID.
LLS
I really think that, other than the usual vacant cranium crowd, a goodly number of Americans believe:
a) No person proffered as a candidate for President and apparently acceptable to “knowledgeable” people in government & media would EVER wish the destruction of our way of life;
b) They could not be duped so easily in having voted for him.
Sadly, we’re reaping what they’ve sown...
>>> “ a) No person proffered as a candidate for President and apparently acceptable to “knowledgeable” people in government & media would EVER wish the destruction of our way of life; “ <<<
Gee, isn’t that the truth. Don’t we all know some “good” people who were taken in. Talk about a compelling candidate, with generational cool, he was one and had it. And the “ick” factor for McCain was plenty palpable which added plenty of muscle to the lever going the other way. This will be a DIFFERENT election entirely by just those two factors alone. I hope Rick runs well, as the nation is crying for someone with confidence in themselves and in the Republic, in states rights and a few other important things.
PS. If Rubio turns out to be a loyal protoge of Jeb and the Bush machine I am starting to wonder what that might mean? This guy is slick and certainly competent, but almost too much so. I have one hair standing up on the back of my neck as I pair him up with Perry. I suppose Rick won’t pick him either, unless he must for Florida. Who knows though, Jeb may embrace Rick. Politics makes funny allignments.
It will be grim no doubt. A combination of a zombie film and ‘1984.’
