president’s Job Approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. Typically, the president’s Job Approval rating on Election Day will be close to the share of the vote he receives. Currently, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. That matches the president’s lowest approval rating of 2012. Fifty-four percent (54%) at least somewhat disapprove

I actually think this reflects the weather more than F&F, gay marriage and Latino pandering! I've taken results of most polls between Memorial Day and Labor Day with a couple of pounds of salt -- "normal" people are spending more time outside grilling, at the beach, in the mountains or away on vacation -- leaving the polling tilted towards those who are staying at home with the blinds drawn.

The last couple of days have been a brief window into what is really going on. IMO.

Oh, yeah. And Zero is in much more trouble than his biggest fans in the MSM imagine!

No doubt if people were more honest,
it would be more like -32.
There are always going to be those who voted for the marxist occupier, but will never openly admit what a huge mistake they inflicted on America by doing so.

In February, 2009, Obama said that if he had not turned the economy around within 3 years, his would be a one-term proposition. Instead of turning the economy around, we got Obamacare, which may soon be ruled unconstitutional. The man wasted his time and ours, and our children’s money.

A five point lead with 10% either undecided or preferring another candidate. The incumbent president stuck at 43%.

The Mitt Romney camp must be very happy with this. It allows their candidate to keep a low profile while allowing the opponent to twist in the wind and make all the mistakes.

From today's Rasmussen poll:

"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote, while President Obama earns 43%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

The president picks up support from just 35% of white voters overall. That’s eight points below the 43% of the white vote he won in 2008. The gender gap is now at 11 points. That’s little changed from the 12-point gap in 2008. Romney leads by 11 among men, and the candidates are even among women."

Winning only 35% of white voters (and especially being even among women voters) means he cannot win:

Obama's White Support Is Too Low to Win

In the face of the T.E.A. Party refulgence the Left can't afford to let up now and the incompetent Obama is a definite liability...

...so they wait for their Benazir Bhutto to peek above her protection to take the fatal bullet so they can move on to more promising strategies.

Obama is the only one who has his back now and is paranoid of the wrong people...stupid is not knowing who hates you in a manner to do you harm.

while President Obama earns 43%.... Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove,

That means there are more people in the poll (which I hope is a perfect sample) who STRONGLY disapprove of Obama than say they will VOTE for Obama.

In other words, that's 45% of the public he is not going to win back. That means he is going to have to beg, borrow and steal to win the remaining 6-7% he needs for re-election. Because, in a two-person race (which is what this is, in reality), Obama is going to need at least a 49% plurality.

Of course, state-by-state is probably more important than national numbers and I think that is still going to be extremely close. Romney is probably going to need one of Iowa, Wisconsin or Michigan to break his way to get to 270 unless he can surprise in Pennsylvania or Virginia.

June has been a terrible month for Obama and we still have to see what the Supreme Court does this week on ObamaCare. I think, ironically, that striking down ObamaXare may actually be a big boost to the economy which might help Obama in November. In addition, oil prices are sinking and are probably going to drive gas prices back down below $3/gal by the end of the summer in most states.

No spiking the football until November 7th, folks.

Romney leads by 5% on numbers, but the rest of the story is what matters. In intensity, patriotic Americans who strongly disapprove of Obama constitute 83% of those who at least somewhat disapprove of socialism and tyranny. Those who strongly approve of the petty dictator constitute 52% of those who at least somewhat approve of communism. That intensity factor is what Obama is trying to fix with his bizarre efforts to pick a fight on paying for Fluke’s birth control or on refusing to enforce immigration law. It would take a terribly destructive October Surprise to boost Obama’s image . . . I’m glad I live nowhere near NYC.

When the Liar-In-Chief has to go out and beg his supporters to give up their gift giving and instead send him money, I am thinking there is a whole lot of trouble brewing for the black jesus and his RAT party. Conservatives are energized and every new nail the clown puts into the Constitution coffin just energizes conservatives even more. I have not been flying my US flag much since he came into office other than on July 4th. But my flag pole is ready in the garage to be planted with Old Glory and the Gadsden flag on Monday if SCOTUS rules to knock out Ocommiecare and allows our AZ SB 1070 to be fully implemented. I am praying both announcements will be positive and will come on the same day - AZ Libtard heads will explode.

All of this is good news, and the comments are encouraging. (Lord knows we need all the encouragement we can get.) BUT..........

By the same time, this is scary. Because we all know that Obama and his thugs will do anything to stay in power. So, what nefarious deed will they pull off before Election Day? That’s my concern. In a fair election, yes, Obama would get his butt kicked. But, he is not above doing anything to stay in power.

Somebody help me out here. AM I PARANOID???

There is no way Obama can win without a complete disintegration of the Romney campaign. That's not going to happen. So, the only hope he has is to so thoroughly demonize Romney that not all the undecideds break away to Romney. Problem there is Romney and the GOP is raising money at a crazy, breathtaking pace. They will be able to combat the assault and staunch it.

I expect that in the next few months Obama will "come of the rails" -- it will be interesting to watch. He has all the characteristics of Carter in reacting to a souring electorate. It is their fault, not his, and if he can just get them to understand his preachy, condescending message, they would realize the error of their ways and support him.

Pass the popcorn...
