And 9% still think George Bush is President and that he’s doing a lousy job.

Without the MSM his approval would be below 10%.

Without the MSM and illegal use of the IRS and other government bureaucracies, he's off living in Hawaii as a hermit instead of jetting around pretending to be president.

The GOP needs to start tying Obama and his failed policies to every Dem in the Senate and House that we even have a remote chance of replacing. Show the voters Obama’s failed policies and then show how Senator/Representative X supported those failed policies. Then tell the voters that does not represent [state district] and finally, label them as being out of touch and beholding to Obama. Label them as business as usual in Washington.

Start running the ads in Oct / November. Force the Dems to fight and defend their own record. Set in the mind of the voter that they want to throw the bums out.

Obama has failed as president in nearly every way possible. His approval rating should only include hardcore libs. The fact that it doesn’t shows there is that there are still way too many stupid and ignorant people out there.

The ‘Rats will always have a coalition of left wing ideologues, people employed by government delivering handouts, people dependent on government handouts, and union goons.

Put all that together, and it probably comes to about 40% of the voters in what was once a great nation.

I got a call about whether my dem governors reversal of an electric rate increase made me more likely or less likely to support his reelection.

When I explained that the price increase had still happened, and even the front page of the liberal paper had said so, they just repeated the question.

The repubs will always be LOSERS as long as McLame and beohner are the face of the republican party.

Boehner is not an effective communicator. If he cannot do that, the repubs are certain to continue losing. boenher is only effective as a sleep aid — so freakin’ boring.

I will go even further, and say these chumps could kill off every conservative in the country, and then his approval rating would be 100% good.

Was it 50 or 100 years McStain warned Americans that we'd be occupying Iraq? This guy has been THE #1 whore of the military-industrial complex. (besides Cheney....but actually Cheney was the military-industrial complex Pimp-in-Charge.)

The repubs will always be LOSERS as long as McLame and beohner are the face of the republican party.

As per RNC-NWO Plan.

Boehner is not an effective communicator.

Sure he is. The man has "communicated" that he sports a set of ovaries, tears ducts that tell us he's menopausal, and communicates well with 0bama on the golf course and in a fetal position.

With all the biased media pro-Obama jazz.....Obama is trending down on a consistant basis!!! IMHO.....the Republicans need to begin a serious, focused...”take no prisoners” political campaign against Obama and the entire Democrat Party!!! McCann, McConnell, Boehner, Graham, etc. are just pure and simple whimps...afraid of their own shadows!!! Obama in reality, is fake, a farce, a failure, a fool and an anti-American to his very core!!! This GOP “make nice” jive is old hat!!! Turn Cruz, Lee, Paul, Rubio, etc. loose and tear this Imposter, phoney, Obama down politically...and send him into the cesspool of obscurity where he and his Democrat cronies rightlfully belong!!! Shucks....I’d rather go down fighting like a tiger...then the RINO way, like a whimping, incompetent child!!!

You know if Obama drops into the high thirties with a approval rating....he is toast!!! I believe he is headed that way. I also believe he is officiallly now a full blown, useless “Lame Duck” POTUS....both here in the USA and certainly, across the entire world. They are all laughing at us...starting with Putin in Russia. I also believe Obama is going to take down a good portion of the Democrat Party, come November, 2014!!! Pubbies....get on it...and...don’t whimp out like the weak sister RINOs do every time!!! Fight for victory!!! If your RINO buddies hang in there...you wiil all be toast...as will be the country itself!!!

Frankly, I haven't believed a single poll has been accurate regarding 0bama, the questioning, nor, the pollsters.

Polls are part of the same overall charade of a media whose cover and worship of this charlatan more like a WWII rally at Nuremberg.

(American media seen here taken orders from 0bama, Jarret, AND John McCain):

Even more remarkable research from Gallup:

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

In the "compare" section of Gallup's site, one can compare the relative numbers at particular points.

What this shows is that George W. Bush, the man whom the Assclown blames for EVERYTHING, was at the same popularity as the Assclown is right now!

Additionally, remember, GEORGE W BUSH was under constant, biased, unrelentless, and unfair media assault...WHILE the Assclown has received never ending worship and PRAISE by same media.

And yet....yet....even GALLUP, which is biased itself, in my opinion, still shows that even with all this worship, BO still is only able to muster 45% approval....

This information needs to be RELAYED to EVERY Republican who thinks Obama MUST be "worked with"....no, instead, he needs to be STOPPED!

He won’t be back up in the polls tomorrow. I’ve been following the RealClearPolitics average & he’s been dropping steadily for several wks now. His current rating is -7.4 [43.6 approve 51 disapprove]. I’ve never seen him anywhere near that low on RCP. Usually a few polls manage to sample enough Dems to keep Obama out of the toilet. Not this time.

I noticed that the real dropoff started post Zimmerman-verdict. Obama had done alright w his previous statement—if I had a son he’d look like Trayvon—so he upped the ante in the post-not guilty time frame. It must have backfired big time. Hispanics may have finally gotten fed up w President-I-only-care-about-blacks & his war on Zimmerman. Whites don’t need a lecture on racism & bigotry when POTUS should have bigger fish to fry [the economy]. Evidently not even blacks were impressed. They wanted action, whereas the Narcissist in Chief just wanted to shift the spotlight to himself. Fail on all fronts.

Anyway, don’t look for a quick rebound of Obama’s #s. They’ve been tanking for wks so far, & show no signs of reversing course.

One more interesting thing from Gallup: you can ALSO see how the approval ratings stack up WITHIN the parties.

An argument CAN be made that Bush (though his approval was at 45%, the same as the Clown, at this point in office) was more popular. Why? Look at the legend.

Among DEMONRATS, right now, the Clown has an 81% approval. Great, right? But Bush had an 88% approval among REPUBLICANS at a similar point.

Bush fared better under the OPPOSITE party, too! Look: the Clown has an 8% approval among Republicans (? who the hell are they?)...while BUSH scored a 12% approval among DEMOCRATS!

Bush did 7 points better among HIS OWN party than the Clown, and 4 points better among those in the OPPOSITE party than the Clown!

Never been polled by Gallup or any of the other major Democratic supporters. I guess it’s because I’m registered as an Independent and almost equally distrust both parties. When Republican “pollsters” call, it’s always a prelude to requesting a donation. My usual response is: “For what - pretending to disagree with Democrats than agreeing with them in the end?”

Can you imagine, with all they have to work with, if the journalist (journObamalist) would have gone after Obama like they did Bush, where his numbers would be?

If they did it from the beginning, Obama would not have been close enough to steal the last election.

Polls are an indicator of public sentiment but hardly conclusive. I concur with previous posters who noted that even with non-stop media fawning over and promotion of Obama his tepid 45% approval approval rating tells us that without the media life jacket he would sink to the 20% or less he deserves from hard core leftists and the terminally ignorant.

I agree the post-trial comment is certainly related to the overall downtrend. I think the confluence of three major scandals and Obama’s response to them are contributing factors as well.

One other wild card that hasn’t been measured for impact definitely should get a look... That’d be the effect of the repeated attacks on
Obama by late-night show hosts such as Jay Leno, who has begun teeing off on the POS in recent weeks like never before.
