Scandals Haven't Dented Obama's Job Approval Yet: Poll

A springtime of political turmoil has heightened public doubts about the Obama administration, but had only a modest impact so far on the president's standing, according to a new NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll.

The survey showed that simultaneous controversies over the Internal Revenue Service's treatment of Tea Party groups, Justice Department investigations of news leaks, and the Benghazi tragedy have taken a toll. In all three cases, solid majorities of American adults report increased doubt about "the overall honesty and integrity of the Obama administration."

Yet only a minority of Americans find Obama "totally" or "mainly" responsible for the problems. That helps explain why Obama's approval rating remains stable at 48 percent — statistically unchanged from 47 percent in April.

Nixon had the same with Watergate - didn’t effect his popularity for almost a year.

Keeping it off AM drive time headline news is critical to Obama. I suspect Christie will have helped by jumping out yesterday with his announcement opposite the tea party testimony.

[Truth29]

Now, is this the product of the LIV and Obama worshipers for which nothing will ever shake their support or is this a piece of propaganda from the Obama media?

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Wait....it took over two years to get Nixon out of office!!! Obama is behind all of these scandals. It will be a slow, long drawn out process of political death by a thousand small cuts. Impact, right now: POTUS Obama is a fullblown “Lame Duck” POTUS!!! Things will continue to get worse and worse, but......slowly. Republicans....nice & slow, steady as she goes!!! Fact: Obama is guilty as charged!!!

Got some bad news for you folks....it’s never going to dent his standing. He’s going to get a pass for the obvious reasons. Let’s hope we can slow him down & stop amnesty. But if people think he’s going to leave office in disgrace.....forgetaboutit. This is a center-left nation now.

[DeaconRed]

As long as his supporters keep getting free stuff from me & you, he will keep fairly high ratings.

[freedomfiter2]

Of course not. There are two groups of people who voted for O the second time around. Evil people and stupid people. Neither will bail on him.

[ScottinVA]

Most of those sheeptards are only interested in getting their gummint check. They’re blissfully ignorant of all else.

Fake poll numbers. Either completely false or polls taken Chicago, Detroit, New York, or San Francisco

IMO, nothing will happen to zero or significantly change his poll ratings, thanks again to the MSM. The rats are already ‘circling the White House wagons’ at the IRS hearings.

[catfish1957]

Yep

10% Blacks, 10% other minorities, 10% Moonbatshit crazy libs, and 10% Low information brain dead zombies. The socialist POTUS has a 40% base, that will be tough to crack.

[Bon mots]

Worse yet, they don't seem to hurt Hillary either.

Hillary gets away with murder and all sorts of crimes.
• Travelgate
• Rose Law Firm
• Whitewater
• Vince Foster's murder
• Monika Lewinsky and BJ
• Perjury
• Securities Fraud
• Bribery
• Pardongate
• Stealing (even the Whitehouse silverware)
• Benghazi...
• Racial slurs (towards Jews, blacks and even Ghandi)
...the list goes on...

Everyone around the Clintons either ended up in Federal prison or dead, yet somehow - scandal after scandal - a political maelstrom of theft, destruction, death, bribery, perjury, lies - and she is not going to the big house, but possibly the White House (God forbid!)

On top of all that, she does it while drunk.


All this goes to prove how clueless and indoctrinated the left wing voters are; that they allow such a horrible shrew to represent them in any way.

Now they are preparing to put lipstick on that tired old pig and trot her out again in 2016 - after all of that!

She is sporting a brand new facelift (that's why she really needed those big dark glasses - to hide the eye job).

[showme_the_Glory]

Not a Romney fan per se, but he did elude to the fact that 47% would vote for Obama no matter what.

I think he can do what ever he wants, whenever, and he won't go below 47.

[Ann Archy]

51% of Americans can’t even name the VP.

[John W]

The current VP can’t name the VP.

Nor will it. His base doesn't care if they even know about the scandals.

• Blacks - still support him because he's black. That's the ONLY thing they care about
• deadbeat parasites support him because he's still going to rob the rest of us to buy their votes
• Rich cronies still support hime because his corrupt administration and his accomplices in Kongress are still funneling billions of our hard earned dollars into their pockets.
• Liberals still support him because he's the magic black man, and anyone who has watched any hollywood movies in the last dozen or so years knows that black men are always MUCH wiser and smarter than any whites - just ask Morgan Freeman.
• Statists still support him because he's still hell bent on destroying our rights and turning the USA into a black democrats dream - Cuba and East Germany come to mind as examples

A few pecadillos won't matter to his base.

Agree. Obama’s favorable rating won’t ever drop below about 40% as that’s approximately the percentage of those “low information voters”. You know, the “gimme my free stuff crowd”. They’re permanently hard wired in now.....

Nor will they. His desciples will continue to worship him, no matter what he does. Beccause they refuse to believe the truth, his worshipers have been given a deluding spirit from God. they are blind. They no longer have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. And as our Nation sinks deeper into depravity, his popurality will increase.
