But voters do not appear to be holding President Barack Obama responsible for the problems so far. Obama's approval rating held relatively steady at 49 percent

What is wrong with people? I mean, honestly, why would anyone vote for this incompetent jerk?

Since most legitimate polling now finds Obama and the Dems trailing rep in who the public trusts more to right the economy this is a bogus extrapolation of the numbers.

Most people when asked about Obama will use their feelings of him PERSONALLY (don’t ask) as an answer to how he is doing his job. Most of those favorable responses come from many people being intimidated against making any negative responses against him for fear of being thought of as a racist.

My guess is were this clown a white man his approval numbers would be in the very low 40’s or high 30’s and if he were a Rep, white man they would be in the low 20’s.

Several generations of leftist product from the public school system with no self respect. What percentage of the population pays no Federal Income Tax? What percentage of people receive some form of public assistance? They have been bought and paid for by Obama.

But voters do not appear to be holding President Barack Obama responsible for the problems so far. Obama's approval rating held relatively steady at 49 percent, down 1 percentage point from June. His approval rating among independents -- a group Obama needs to win re-election -- fell to 39 percent from 44 percent.

Here's what you have to understand. Obama's approval dropped only one percent but his approval rating among independants fell a full five percent. So either Reuters found more Republicans who think Obama is doing a great job or they oversampled Democrats in order to get the results.

And if they oversampled Democrats and the "wrong track" number STILL went down three points, what does that tell you about how bad the economy is really headed?

The average Obama voter has an IQ of about 80. They believe in the tooth fairy and santa claus. Remember "Obama stash?" One reason you can't engage a liberal in serious discourse is that they are too dull witted to get the issues to begin with.

This poll must have over-sampled Rats by about 15% to get Obama’s overall so high.

The type of people who support him are the ones who are not experiencing the consequences of his policies and in the past, have never had to experience the consequences of bad decision making.
