The president has a base of loyalists that won't quit and, at least for now, there's no evidence he was involved in any scandals.
Another day, another poll showing that President Obama's job-approval rating is not collapsing under the weight of scandals and controversies. Why is he holding steady? Will it last? And will Republicans take any cues from his staying power?
Given the noise level on Capitol Hill, cable TV, and social media, Obama's 50 percent-plus showings in recent polls from CNN, Pew, and ABC/Washington Post seem somewhat surprising. But two veteran political pollsters, one from each party, say that Obama can expect to maintain his standing as long as there's no evidence that he was involved in the two big furors of the moment: the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny, and the Justice Department seizing Associated Press phone records as part of a leak investigation.
Republican Bill McInturff and Democrat Stan Greenberg agree that Obama is in a relatively strong position short of "a real set of facts that implicates the president," as Greenberg put it. The reasons include Obama's steadfast coalition of blacks, Latinos, and young people, and a Washington tradition of leaving the president in the dark.....

Polls are from CNN, Pew and WP/ABC, what else would we expect?
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
Truman remarked, and others practiced—”the buck stops here”—taking responsibility and accountability for his own actions and that of his administration of supervision.
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil I
don’t know why I’m still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you’ll always be my hero
Even though you’ve lost your mind
[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that’s all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
“They lie for the Lying Liar, thinking more lies will cover for his lies.”
The last five years have been the most scathing indictment of affirmative action, yet they still can’t shatter the myth of Obama (that they created) as a competent American adult. As long as no baby-momma turns up with a bastard of his, and he doesn’t currently have a drug problem, they’ll sweep the rank bumbling (and cigarette smoking) under the rug to make him a “model president”.
It took nixon’s numbers 9 months to start to crack... and jill is on crack.

The punk POTUS will never drop below 30% in favorbility polls. 13% black population, and 20% Moonbat shit crazy liberals.
What would make the public turn en masse against the Clown? Consider his popularity among blacks....it REMAINS in the 95% range while black unemployment is sky high....GAS prices and FOOD prices are high.....
So these scandals are definitely worth being upset about, but so is the economy, health care premiums, loss of religious freedom, et al. And still the Cult thrives.
You may be seeing a TINY shift in the media....but witness Larry Connors in St. Louis.....
They tell the truth for the lying liar. Obama has lived his entire life under a philosophy of "make sure there is no evidence of anything". Obama gave the orders, but indirectly and with no evidence of his involvement.
It’s not a scandal unless the MSM calls it one. Meanwhile there are more important stories to cover, like Jodi Arias. After that’s over, there will be another squirrel to distract the public.
I am figuring about 40% are beyond saving.
