Middle Class Is Abandoning Obama: He Gets Majority Approval Rating Only From Americans Making Less Than $24,000 Per Year
(CNSNews.com) - The middle class is abandoning President Barack Obama, according to data released by the Gallup Poll. The only income bracket among which a majority still says they approve of the job he is doing as president are those earning $2,000 per month or less.
During the week of June 7-13, only 46 percent of Americans overall told Gallup they approved of the job Obama is doing as president, tying for the worst week of Obama's presidency. Two weeks ago, forty-six percent also said they approved of the job Obama is doing, and last week 47 percent said they approved.
But when the president’s approval is separated by incomes groups, it is only the lowest income bracket recorded by Gallup—those who earn less than $2,000 per month—that gives Obama a majority approval rating, with 52 percent saying they approved of the job he is doing as president.
Among those earning $2,000 to $4,999 per month (or $24,000 to $59,988 per year), 46 percent said they approved of the job Obama is doing. Among those earning $5,000 to $7,499 per month ($60,000 to $89,988 per year), 44 percent said they approved of the job Obama is doing. And among those earning $7,500 or more per month ($90,000 per year or more), the highest income bracket recorded by Gallup, 47 percent said they approved of the job Obama is doing.
The last time Obama’s approval topped 50 percent among the $24,000 to $59,988 income bracket was the week of May 10-16, when it was 51 percent. The last time it topped 50 percent among the $60,000 to $89,988 income bracket was the week of May 3-9, when it was 51 percent. The last time Obama’s approval topped 50 percent among the $90,000 and above income bracket was the week of April 19-25, when it was 51 percent.
Obama’s current 52 percent approval among Americans earning less than $2,000 per month is the lowest it has been among that income bracket in his presidency. In the week of April 19-25, his approval was at 60 percent in this income bracket. It has dropped eight points since then.
The week of his inauguration—Jan. 19-25, 2009—Obama’s approval was 73 percent among those earning less than $2,000 per month, 66 percent among those earning between $2,000 and $4,999, 69 percent among those earning $5,000 to $7,499 per month, and 66 percent among those earning $7,500 per month or more.
He certainly is...and he also doesn’t give a rip what people think of his performance.
BUMP
I can understand why some have disdain for the poor. They are bloodsucking leeches that live off of others efforts.
I haven’t seen the kid lately ;( would gave been kind of nice for him to drop in.
Bingo. The more dependent the class, the more likely they are to support Obama, so importing more illegals and promoting schemes that will increase costs and unemployment in the private sector will increase the Democrat voting block.
Next Headline. “Obama holds 99% approval rating for those getting Gubmit Checks”
The damage has been done.
I have no sympathy, empathy or compassion for anyone who voted for this raging racist libtard.
I cannot forget or forgive.
Their moment of self-indulgence to show they were big enough to vote for a black man has cost us dearly and may yet end up destroying the only nation on the planet that gives hope for freedom.
They can all burn in libtard hell.
In general yes. It depends on their attitude which is partly due to how they were raised. We’re not high income, I stay home with the kids. We actually COOK which saves money and it is possible to live this way though not always easy. It involves work and a willingness to learn. When something breaks you have to learn to fix it yourself, some things require a professional but not as many as a lot of people may think.
Thats the Obama agenda, equalize America, make the wealthy families that make over $200,000 a year come down to a level so the inner city people can catch up and get their share of the bling, the good life, the house and boat, the New American dream.
The New America, everyone must support each other, pay the government to take care of you.
Sell your soul to Islam as well.
“I can understand why some have disdain for the poor. They are bloodsucking leeches that live off of others efforts.”
Not really you elitist snob. Being poor doesn’t make one a criminal or a leach.
Rich and poor people can be criminals or bloodsucking leaches.
Parasites on society all.
LLS
Did you miss a sarcasm signal or do you really believe what you wrote?
Why do you think the poor have such support for Obama? I’m just saying what most peopel think. I for one am tired of supporting all these lowlifes. You can call me anything you want you jerk, I don’t care.
“Never mind....if I say it that dumb little black kid will show up and call me a racist.”
I got jumped on the other day for mentioning that 95 % of the BLACKS still support Obambie.
I guess I am expected to say “African American”, a term that I have always refused to use, or accept, unless they want to call me a European American.
I call a spade a spade, and if one does not like it, they can go suck an egg :P
What do you think?
“Why do you think the poor have such support for Obama? “
Because he’s doing what leftist leaders have done through the ages to buy them off. Because they have been trained to look to Daddy govt for their salvation.
“I’m just saying what most peopel think.”
No, you’re being an ass.
“I for one am tired of supporting all these lowlifes.”
Many ‘poor’ people carry their own weight. Its the entitlement class that you are ranting about. Class warfare is bad regardless of which side starts it.
“You can call me anything you want you jerk, I don’t care.”
You are the one using stereotypes against an entire group of people without any basis. Ignorance is a dangerous thing.
