I’m a little confused when they refer to independents. It would seem to me they are referring to people who are actually registered as “unaffiliated” (not registered with any party) rather than those registered with the independent party.
Am I missing something?
Bottom Line: he is not re-electable.
Their respective midterm approval ratings are like two vehicles passing in opposite directions who find themselves in the same spot as they cross.
We already knew that a majority of DimocRATS (81% currently) have brain damage. What’s difficult for me to understand is who are the 12% of Republicans who suffer from severe brain damage?????
Unfortunately, not with the LSM around to perform CPR.
They would love nothing more than to turn Captain Kickass into the Comeback Kid.
It could mean that 38 percent of Independents can’t even spell “independent”.
They are the new breed of “Susan Collins Republicans”.
I am more perplexed by the 12% approval from Republicans. I can only concluded at least 12% of Registered Republicans are actually embedded Democrats.
And, of course, these “indies” all still like their Democrat Congresscritters.
what is also missing from the headline is WHY Independents are falling out of love with him - because he isn’t showing more leadership in the Gulf or about creating jobs.
The Independents want him to be more of an FDR - passing WPA-like programs, seizing control of the spill from BP, kicking up tax rates on the top 1%, stimulus spending even if it drives up the deficit, quitting two costly wars.. In other words, they want him to be more *liberal*. They have the same unhappiness that Democrats do.
In other words - they may not like Obama as much, but they sure don’t want the GOP answers to the problems either. And REAL Conservative approaches? The only part of them that they like is the idea of cutting taxes *for their own income levels*.
So this is good news for Conservatives how, exactly? Just because Obama isn’t as popular as he used to be?
The magic number of 40% has been crossed. Jimmy Carter bumped it and went down in flames. Obama is self-incinerating even now, piling on more of the same that got him there, apparently because he’s either a slow learner or a true believer (not that those are mutually exclusive, he’s probably both).
A November massacre can’t come too soon.
That is exactly it, even with his totally subjugated media whores, his numbers are plummeting.
38% is higher than I expected. Exactly who are these so called “independents” Just wait until Obama’s 2011 taxes kick in! the tax breaks from Bush expire in Jan 2011. Brace yourselves folks and hang on to your money.

That alleged 38-39% must be Democrats in disguise......
The 12% Republican “favor” Obama numbers:
10% - Blatantly oversampled Democrats who will swear that they accidentally marked “Republican” because they couldn’t spot “Pat Buchanan” on their form.
1% - Tinfoil hat types who gave bizarre answers to the poll intentionally.
~.99% - Republicans who marked the wrong oval/pressed the wrong button and intended to mark “disapprove.”
~.01% - Lindsey Graham.
>> If you support Obama and yet call yourself a Republican
Colin Powell is the poster child for this sort.
They cross party lines to vote on the basis of skin color.
There’s a simple term for it... begins with an “r”, I think.
Sounds like his ideology is sinking him faster and faster...
The biggest difference between Clinton and Obama is that Clinton doesn’t hate this country and everything it stands for imho. Obama does hate this country and it shows.
I think you are confusing a growing number of independents’ reasons for disapproving of Obama with why some liberals and leftists are pissed at him. I believe most independents are waking up to Obama’s marxist,socialist and racist ways and the fact that he is frankly either incompetent or evil or both.
