Readers have to get halfway into the Associated Press report on its new AP-GFK poll to find this out, but Barack Obama’s job approval numbers have cratered in the shutdown. His overall job approval is now 37/53, and a majority want Obama to start cooperating more with Republicans, as 63% want Republicans to meet Obama part-way, too:
Americans are holding Republicans primarily responsible for the partial government shutdown as public esteem sinks for all players in the impasse, President Barack Obama among them, according to a new poll. It’s a struggle with no heroes. …
Most Americans disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job, the poll suggests, with 53 percent unhappy with his performance and 37 percent approving of it. Congress is scraping rock bottom, with a ghastly approval rating of 5 percent.
Indeed, anyone making headlines in the dispute has earned poor marks for his or her trouble, whether it’s Democrat Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, or Republican John Boehner, the House speaker, both with a favorability rating of 18 percent.
The amusing headline in this instance is “GOP gets the blame in shutdown.” However, the data shows that plenty of blame is being heaped on all sides, by all sides:

Pleasant news to read so early in the day.
37%, of whom 20% are the nation’s hard core liberals/progressives/communists/Marxists (but, I repeat myself) and 17% are LIV/NIV (low information/no information voters).
Don’t get too worked up over this poll. The exact same poll will say Shillary Clinton has an 80% approval rating. No matter now bad the economy is the exact same braindead idiots that voted for Obozo will vote for her. If the GOP puts another RINO on the ticket she will be the next president. If she comes out and finally admits she’s a lesbian her approval rating will be be 90%.
The problem: compromising with bad policy is like adding just a little sewage to your drinking water. No good can come of it.
wouldn’t 33% be ground zero for this jack*ss? 1/3 of Americans will stick w/bb through anything. so, he’s just got 4% to lose.
LOL!
So, this includes at least 10% of the moocher / deadebeat / loser population!
PING!
Gallup has him at 46% approval. Can anyone explain the wide disparity?
For a second i thought it said 3.7%. That i would understand.
They did not care after they had disarmed their population. This bozo is getting the largest military force ever assembled on the planet upset. His days and his supporters days now are literally numbered. Hoping to see DC in 2 to 3 weeks before it gets demolished.
And they even routinely poll the WashCompost and NY Slime editorial staffs.
So if we are to assume his approval rate amongst blacks is still in the 90s, imagine then what the approval rating is among whites.
I find it hard to believe it’s that high!
Does the refusal of Commander in Chief Obama to pay for the Funeral expenses of HIS dead Warriors rise to the level of an Impeachable Offense?
“Generally, dereliction of duty refers to failure through negligence or obstinacy to perform one’s legal or moral duty to a reasonable expectation. In other words, it means willful or negligent failure to perform assigned duties or performing them in a culpably inefficient manner. Dereliction of duty is a specific offense in military law. “ (Quote from USLegal.com).
Dereliction of duty is an Impeachable Offense, as stipulated in the US Constitution. Dereliction of duty is also a US Military offense subject to a US Military Courts Martial.
Will our sorry Congressional RINOs do their usual kid gloves, “boys will be boys” approach to Obama’s numerous violations of the US Constitution, or will they FINALLY draw up The Articles of Impeachment for B. Hussein Obama?
Did they count how many want him REMOVED FROM OFFICE?
arrogant POS
37 percent of the country are still dumb as bucket of rocks
“The revolutionary’s purpose is to undermine the system and see what happens. The Alinsky radical (i.e. Obama) has a single principle: to take power from the Haves and give it to the Have-nots”. Change you can believe in - it’s happening NOW.
This has been all about trying to destroy the Republicans prior to the 2014 elections. That is why President Obama and Harry Reid provoked this in the first place.
