It’s likely that if Obama’s approval numbers go any lower, it will be from liberals who think he’s not liberal enough instead of independents who think he hasn’t lived up to his promises and want a change of leadership.

However, a discouraged liberal base means lower turnout so that is also a good thing.

1. UNIONS LOSE BIG IN WISCONSIN
2. GEORGE LOPEZ'S SHOW CANCELLED
3. HUSSEIN'S NUMBERS ARE CLOSER TO WHERE THEY DESERVE--IN THE TOILET!

Damn, it is a good news day no matter WHAT the Dow Jones does!

About 25% to 33% of the electorate are hard core liberals. Film could exist of Obama kicking a puppy on the White House lawn and his support would not drop below those numbers.

Which is the difference between libs and Conservatives. Conservatives are rational and have morals and standards. Libs are delusional and only half consciously following their crowd.

a 40% approval would equate to an election landslide for his opponent.

He'll be in the 30s by Monday.

But the MSM will NEVER report it below 40. NEVER. Just like they won't report the unemployment rate above 9.9

They are willing accomplices.

+ or - 3%. That really puts this loser at 37%. That makes sense to me. If this stays solid for a couple month, look for Obummer not to run for reelection.

That’s about 38 percentage points too high. Who are the stooges in this 40% still thinking this rank incompetent is doing a good job??

***********************************

Tribal support, neo-druid greenshirts, social network children who think the funny man in the van who offers them candy is their friend, fraternal assistance of comrades, brotherly love by Al-Islam co-religionists, fraternal assistance of teachers and labor unions, and a great big chunk of the vast shadow welfare program, the federal bureaucracy.

In aggregate, that is about the 40% or so. People moan that demographics is destiny. They ignore the fact that demographic numbers are mutable, and subject to revision.

“But I think the remaining 40% would acquit him if he killed his wife because she was making him eat too much broccoli. They would say it was self defense.”

Well, I would acquit him on that charge too, and I voted for the one person who had executive experience in 2008.

He is to small a man not to run.

If his numbers are that low and he does run, I look for his creators and puppetmasters to effect a ‘kinetic retirement’ in time for Hillary or similar to step in and heal a grieving nation.

Columnists/talking heads talking about Obama’s ‘intelligence’ need to be asked/told just one time in public “Please show examples...back your claim of his supposed smarts up with tangible proof he ever displayed any. In truth, he has never once shown any more than common intelligence levels at best, and when off TOTUS he is a verifiable babbling idiot that cannot complete more than 2 consecutive sentences without pausing, stuttering and using multiple instances of “uh...”

Of the 40% who still support him:

1. about a third are black who support him solely for racial solidarity (Colin Powell types)

2. about a third are raving lunatic Communists/Democrats who will never vote Republican

3. the remainder are low-information white voters who still want to feel good about supporting a black man for president

Obama will never fall that low because he’ll always have near-unanimous approval among blacks.

I believe Gallup recently said their sample was around 75% white, 11% black, 10% hispanic and 4% other.

If you look at Obama, 40% overall comes out to around 33% among white, 80% among blacks, 50% among hispanicsand 40% among other. You can play with the #s a bit but the breakdown will be around those figures.

That means around 25% of Obama’s total approval is among blacks. Without blacks his approval is around 30% or 2nd term W levels.

Now, any other president would never maintain such high support among blacks. Frankly, the fact that he’s at 40 means he’s already showing some slippage down to the 80s when he was in the 90s. But I don’t think he’ll ever lose high support among blacks even if unemployment was 50%. He’ll alwats have that cushion.

But among the non-black population he’s already at W or Carter or Bush41 levels.

Big Media will never let their messiah drop below 40%.

It is interesting, though, how the big poll allegedly came out ranking Casey Anthony as number 1 hated person in America, and not one website will list any person below number 4 OR any data whatsoever.

PEAS OF SH!T LYING MEDIA.

The media, always eager to be on their knees to service Hussein, continue to find new and more perverted ways to prop up their little Kenyan god.

Until their retirement portfolios are wiped out and their families lose their jobs and their children and grandchildren need to move in with them. May they feel the rest of America's pain in spades for what they helped do this country for the sake of propping up their "first black president".

Didn’t know 40% of the voting American public were Communists. Sure is sobering.

I would like to leave it there. Once a president gets below 30% all hell breaks loose. Literally!
