Well, look at the bright side. The idiots living in this country got that “first black president” bull**** out of their system.

Dems are roughly a third of the voting electorate, or 33%. So maybe 33% is as low as he can go.

I’d say 12% is as low as he can go.

What gets me is who are the 38% who approve? Just what exactly do they approve of? That he empowers and helps spread radical Islam? That he yawns and goes back to playing golf when an American gets beheaded? That he demands the border be left wide open so terrorists will have an easier time attacking the coutry? That he cared more for the welfare of 5 Taliban commanders than a US Marine rotting in prison in Mexico?

Obama doesn’t distinguish golf scores and poll numbers - the lower the better.

These are set up polls. The media is trying to use low poll numbers to make Obama simply irrelevant so they can pump up Hillary.

Approval numbers in the US often correlate with the numbers of voters who would vote to put you into office if elections were held that day. The president’s party is also held responsible for the mistakes he makes so Obama’s low numbers means that vulnerable congressmen and senators will have a rough go in the 2016 November electons. If the president’s numbers were relatively high...say 55 or 60 per cent, then the legislators up for election wouldn’t mind “riding his coat tails” and would welcome an appearance by the president upon their behalf. Right now, Dem legislators who hail from conservative leaning states are asking are asking Obama to stay away from them until the elections are over.

Approval numbers are supposed to be derived from tallies of total numbers of voters from all parties with statistical weightings based on what is known about the numbers making up each of the major parties. Overall there are more registered Democrats in the US vs Republicans...but there are large numbers of unaffiliated voters or those who refuse to give a party preference when the pollsters contact them for their opinions. Time of day,day of week, land lines or cell phones, employed during the day verses non working welfare Oprah watchers, all these can affect “sampling” of data.

There is a tendency in the US amongst the media to over “weight” Democrats” in the sampling vs Republicans...thus a 38 per cent approval rating, giving Obama every weighted advantage in the polling, points to even more horrible numbers for the president , should absolute non weighted polling numbers ever be applied to him!

So what?
At this point, what difference does it make?

Exactly. Can’t get rid of him and he’s still in power. The only polls that matter are at the ballot box.

everyone expecting a big attack on sept. 11. doubt that will happen. They revere and hold that date as a holy day now in islamaland. Maybe a few days after or another upcoming significant day in islamic history. This is the first time his pole number has went below 40. They’ve kept it artifically at 41-42 for a long time. They realize they can’t do it forever - and time to shift to hillary. So expect his poles will slowly dip to match reality over the next few months.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. The fact it correlates somewhat to an election is an important fact.

Yeah I’d agree, when you add up the blacks, the queers, the hard core communists, and the MY UTERUS NOW!!! Types, that probably makes up about 35%.

“How low can you go?”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Probably no lower, 38 percent seems to be about the percentage of voters who are the Walking Braindead. Reality does not impinge on their perception of the world. These are the people who would name Carter and Clinton as the two greatest presidents of the twentieth century, except for those who are SO FAR OUT in lala land that they would name Obama as the greatest twentieth century president.

I still think Obama was the "Indonesian street kid" that was 'picked' early by the communists and groomed to be where he is now.

See all the Indonesian look-alikes here.

The Obama senior as his Daddy looks like an arrangement. . much on the web about it. . Will we ever know for sure?

I wonder how many in the disapprove column happen to be Democrats and independents. I’d like to see the breakdown of that poll.
