Rasmussen: Rating President Obama on The Issues (He's dropping hard)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | January 6, 2014 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 01/07/2014 6:08:02 AM PST by Zakeet

Coming off his reelection, President Obama signaled that immigration reform and stricter gun control were two of his top agenda items, but none of his initiatives in these areas made it into law. Voters remain critical of the president's handling of both issues.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 33% of Likely U.S. Voters give the president good or excellent marks when it comes to immigration issues, while 45% rate his performance in this area as poor.

When it comes to his handling of gun control, 31% now rate the president's performance as good or excellent. Thirty-nine percent (39%) think he's doing poor job.

Last month marked the one-year anniversary of the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Just after the shooting, 59% of Americans expected tougher gun control laws, and only 33% disagreed. Just 31% now think it is at least somewhat likely that Congress and the president will create stricter gun control laws. Fifty-nine percent (59%) consider that unlikely. Voters are evenly divided over the need for stricter gun control laws.

A number of House Democrats have urged President Obama to halt the deportation of illegal immigrants until Congress passes a comprehensive immigration reform plan, but voters by a two-to-one margin oppose that idea. Most already think the federal government is not vigilant enough in deporting those who are in this country illegally.

Most voters, in fact, still believe the policies and practices of the federal government encourage people to enter the United States illegally.

More Americans than ever now believe tackling mental health issues rather than gun control is the best way to prevent mass murder incidents like the one in Newtown.

Seventy-three percent (73%) want stricter enforcement of the gun control laws already on the books.

People are 2:1 against the dope on amnesty ... most don't trust the government to guard the borders ... his support is dropping ... which is why Mitch McClownCar, Boo Hoo Boner and the Rino's need to cave in right now while there's still time!

Bump to this.

Voters of both parties want stronger enforcement of our borders.

“Leaders” of both parties, are selling America down the river.

Bring back American jobs, and enforce our borders.

I think this will happen, this year.

The GOP establishment is bound and determined to stick with the current sell-out.

The GOP voters are increasingly fed up. I think the GOP voters are about to walk out.

Just my .02.

I don’t believe anything I see on Rassmussen Reports — even if it comes from Scott. Obama’s polls are all trending down around 40 percent (see Real Clear Politics), but yet Rassmussen consistently has him up at 48 percent.

Bull.

Do nothing congress, do nothing American public - what does it matter to The Won? Obama and people like him have never let minor details like popular opinion factor into their plans for a better world.

If we are to change our current extreme leftward trajectory something very dramatic must happen next November, but don't bet the farm.

Here's another Rasmussen poll I'm skeptical about:

"Most voters still favor a ban on semi-automatic and assault-type weapons but strongly oppose outlawing handguns in the United States. "

Most voters favor a return to revolvers and muzzle loaders? Leaving our all-knowing and competent gov't, "that knows best" with all the semi-automatics and "America's most popular rifle"? Really? This Rasmussen poll was taken over a holiday, but ... seriously!

Wow, that picture of Obama sure shows him not quite “camera ready”. He looks exactly what he is...in way over his head!
Where’s a burka when you need one.

Didn’t Bill Cosby used to make that face when he was goofing off in those Pudding Pops commercials?
