They wish it was that high.
That means it’s really about 45%.
Approval of Congress must be in the toilet bowl or already in the sewer where they belong!
I think it will continue to drop as his health care debacle grinds on.
SUBTRACT 5% for the 13% of the populaiton black factor that will rate him at 100% no matter what he does.
How quickly, how soon...
I’m not trying to be pessimistic but does anyone know what Bush’s approval ratings were before he was reelected? It seemed like the media was always saying he was below 50. I could be wrong though. Could someone clairify. Either way the GOP needs to have a strong candidate. Just because a candidate does not have a majority approval rating doesn’t mean the voting populace will be willing to try someone new. That seemed the case in 04 when people didn’t want to switch CIC for the ultra liberal Kerry in the middle of things.
I say 40%
So, GE/NBC/MSNBC has decided that the proles will swallow a 51% approval lie. Big f’ing deal. Obambi is going to be lucky to have W’s number by 2012
He’s been way overexposed in these shamwow town meeting forums. He’s losing any Presidential aura he ever had.
Bush did not have low approval ratings. There also was low unemployment and GDP growth during the bulk of his Presidency. The media was committed to pulling him down and lie about both of those for yours. Just as they will double their efforts to prop this guy up despite performance or approval numbers.
That is how NBC keeps Obamas approval rating above 50%.
That’s among liberals and democrats .....
If they actually would admit to this, rest assured it’s WAY less.
More than HALF this ONCE FINE country is BRAIN DEAD!
They are also running push polls. I just read the questions, and I was shocked. Well, not really.
Question 5. Do you approve or disapprove of the way REPUBLICANS in congress are handling health care reform? WHAT?
BTW, there was no question about the democrats in congress.
What a load of crap, no way its THAT high.
I think I’ll stick with Rasmussen.
