Latest McClatchy/Marist poll: 39% Approval Rating for Obama, Lowest of Presidency
McClatchy-Marist ^ | September 20, 2011 | Marist

Posted on 09/20/2011 9:38:36 AM PDT by DestroyLiberalism

President Barack Obama faces a litany of bad news. The president’s job approval rating, his favorability, and his rating on the economy have hit all-time lows. To compound matters, three in four Americans still believe the nation is in a recession and the proportion who thinks the country is moving in the wrong direction is at its highest point in more than a decade. President Barack Obama

According to this McClatchy-Marist Poll, the president’s approval rating is at 39% among registered voters nationally, an all-time low for Mr. Obama. For the first time a majority — 52% — disapproves of the job he is doing in office, and 9% are unsure.

This has to be damning news for Obama given that McClatchy-Marist is a liberal polling outfit. (Someone oughta report them to ATTACKWATCH.com!)

Who are the 9% who are “not sure?” Do they live in a monastery? Or are they simply mentally defective? As far as the 39% is concerned, first you have to deduct 13% for Blacks ( who would have voted for HItler if he were dark skinned). That leaves 26% which is the typical “liberal base.”

But Howard Fienman and Chrissy Pissy on MNBC said Obama is a sure thing for reelection. I can't wait for the Hitler movie parody after the elction 2012...”But Howard Fienman said Conservatives liked my socialist policies, he had polling from Rasmussen...”

In this country today, I can not imagine any circumstance in which the Democrat presidential candidate, regardless of how awful they are, would not get 40 percent of the vote. Even in prior years that was almost unimaginable. Carter got 41, almost 42 percent of the vote. McGovern got 39%. It is a bottom below which Democrats almost cannot fall no matter what. For Obama to hit that level amongst registered voters is the bottom, the end for him.

And I could have added Mondale, he got 41 percent.

We’ve never had a crazy Marxist dictator president before. This is a whole new ballgame.

Yes, but that was a different poll. Obama dropped to 38% in a Gallup poll of adults taken during August 27-29.

As a matter of fact, I have the latest daily Gallup job approval numbers hot off the press:

42% Approve (up 2 points from yesterday)
50% Disapprove (down 2 points from yesterday)

Still, I have a feeling the 2012 election will be a lot like the 1968 Nixon-Humphrey election where Democratic voters “came back home” late in the race and it turned into a real barnburner.

I wouldnt count this S.O.B. out until the last few precincts are reporting next November.

Actually, Rasmussen’s latest poll of likely voters released today has Obama at 46% job approval, if you can believe that. His strongly approve/strongly disapprove index though is down to -21 though. Go figure.

Don’t underestimate this creatures reelection chances. There are hopeful signs but his expulsion from office is not a lock.There are many factors favoring him.

I parallel this with the teenage girl flirting with the “rebel” that her parents would never approve of. She has fun until Johnny gets “too serious” about the flirtation, then she gets scared and looks for an escape.

Thus are your average liberals who flirt with Marxism. They’ve just put a guy in office who’s “serious” about implementing it, and not just talking about the superiority of the idea in an academic sense.

If we lived in a sane America Ibama’s approval rating would be 11%.
Can we give them to Hawaii?
