Americans' confidence in Obama plummets to new low, poll shows
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | June 30, 2014 | By CHAD MERDA

There's little good news for President Barack Obama or the rest of U.S. government, according to a new Gallup poll.

When asked about their confidence in the president, only 29 percent said they had confidence in Obama in his sixth year. That's down 7 percent from last year, and is a 22 percentage point drop from his first year in office. It's also lower than George W. Bush's rating in his sixth year (33 percent) and Bill Clinton (53 percent). It was during Clinton's sixth year in office that he was stuck deep in the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Pretty sad commentary on the electorate that he even has a point to fall from. Didiots. Lucky for us the economy has recovered and we are roaring to success. Uh, maybe not.

So? It isn’t like he has to run for President again.
And he can do whatever he wants, and be pretty sure that that the Stupid Party (GOPE) will squander whatever opportunities he creates for them.

He’s got a hardcore base of blacks and socialists that probably adds up to 20-25%, and these folks would support him no matter what he did.

That means his approval rate among the rest of us is 5% or so.

I bet even with all the golf he’s done he’s probably still a hacker.

Five years ago the news media was highly interested in this kind of news.

Amazing numbers, seeing that half the American public is brain dead.

Those numbers are going to go a low lower when people see what 0’s policies have wrought in the middle east.

Polls mean nothing!

WAKE UP, PEOPLE!

THIS IS A COUP!



The only thing that will remove 0 from office is when his own handlers determine he's of more value as a martyr...

Is Wolf Blitzed announcing it breathlessly on CNN like he did Bush's numbers?

The only numbers more closely guarded than Baraq’s golf scores are his SATs and LSATs.

The point reflected in the chart but not highlighted in the article is that zero has been significantly below Bush every year except the first.

I seriously doubt that. The ones that knew him and what he stands for never had any confidence in him in the first place. His worshipers and disciples still believe that he walks on water and is their messiah.

*****************
Once upon a time the media was intensely interested in the national unemployment level too. Their perspective changed the instant a Democrat was elected president.

Its also worth noting that back when George Herbert Walker Bush was president the media obsessed over the national homeless situation. But the instant that Clinton assumed the presidency, the homelessness problem immediately “disappeared”. You never heard another word about it.
