President Obama's approval rating has dropped to 50 percent, according to a poll released Thursday, a new low for the president as he tries to shepherd health care reform legislation through Congress in the next few months.

A new Quinnipiac University poll shows 50 percent of Americans approve of the job Obama is doing compared to 42 percent who don't.

That's the lowest number since Obama took office, and down from a 57 percent approval rating at the beginning of July.

Soon Gordon Brown will be snubbing him.

Then again, it doesn’t really matter what his approval rate is. He has 3 more years to destroy this country and the race is ON.

I DARE the RAT party to pass Obamacare without any GOP support. 2010 is ours.

I may be wrong here (wouldn't be the first time) but something feels false about these Obama numbers still being so high.

I just can't put my finger on it.........

Dropping faster than a whale turd.

>> He has 3 more years to destroy this country and the race is ON.

It could become significantly more difficult for him after midterm elections.

[paul in cape]

Could you imagine what his numbers would be if the MSM weren’t giving him a Lewinski?

[JimBianchi11]

I’ve read that this is the fast drop in popularlty in modern history.

About damn time people wake up!

Obama’s going to be remembered as the Willie O’Ree of politics. A mediocre black man in their field that was simply remembered for being black. Willie O’Ree, for all of you non-puckheads that are out there, was the first black man that played pro hockey in the Modern Era of the NHL.

Let’s hope that Michael Steele is our Grant Fuhr. To you non-puckheads that are out there, he’s the Hall of Fame black goalie that led the Oilers to multiple Stanley Cups.

Well, I call the MSM, the BSM now. They have crossed the line so far, they are now the Brown Shirt Media. It is ridiculous the coverage of him. or should i say Him...

This is from Rasmussen. How the Ef did he get a BUMP? He was -12 (NEGATIVE TWELVE!) last week!

[TNCMAXQ]

Saw a lady in the park a little while ago with an 0bama t-shirt and that infernal rising sun insignia. I thought, wow too bad. Many Americans are waking up to reality while some delusional ones continue to think ‘yes we can.’

[umgud]

Must be the ole organized mob thing again.

[Nervous Tick]

>> How the Ef did he get a BUMP?

Gatesgate went away.

He didn’t bump, he is still at 49% approval at rasmussen.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

This is really fun. I enjoy seeing the American public wake up out of its stupor and realize what a big mistake they made last November.

[Nervous Tick]

He didn’t bump, he is still at 49% approval at rasmussen.

As Diana said, his "approval index" (strong approval minus strong disapproval) DID get a bump up from last week.

Beck warned of the possibility of a group of thugs,claiming to be hard working Americans who are fed up with the president and become violent. The media will be given the ‘’heads up’’ and they will video some typical thug assaults in the name of ‘’justice for Americans’’. I just hope and pray that the organizers of any townhouse meeting has the smarts to watch for the thugs and not allow the violence to erupt. Reminds me of the scene in Grapes of Wrath when at a dance thugs were suppose to disrupt the festivities, giving the controlled coppers an excuse to come in and control the work camp. Wake up my fellow Americans and peacefully protest the socialization of our Country and should we see an incident erupting move in and squash it so the media will be left with their fingers up their derriere

>> realize what a big mistake they made last November.

The timing should be perfect for a ‘Rat rout in Nov. ‘10.

They’re running scared; the plan called for all the bad stuff to be crammed down the sheep’s throats by now, so they’d forget by next year. But their timeline is getting strung out.
