Obama, Democrats Sliding in Polls
Power Line ^ | February 22, 20111 | John

I'm not sure whether it is his involvement with the Democrats' PR debacle in Wisconsin, or his detachment from events in the Middle East, or the continuing weak economy, but President Obama is sliding in the polls. In Scott Rasmussen's Approval Index, he has plummeted to -20, one of his worst showings ever:

Obama's overall approval rating with likely voters is also deeply in the red, at 44/55. In the Gallup poll, which is not a likely voter survey, Obama is down to a 46 percent approval rating.

In the generic Congressional survey, Rasmussen now has the Republicans leading the Democrats by nine points, 46/37. That suggests that voters' disgust with Obama and the Democrats comes more from the party's disgraceful showing in Wisconsin and the poor economy than from Obama's weak performance in foreign affairs.

Parading their union knuckledraggers around all over TV wasn’t a very bright idea. Not very bright.

Watch gasoline prices and rising Mid East turmoil.

When $ 4 plus is staring Americans in the face, Zero will plummet. If gas shortages and rationing ensue, he's toast like Carter.

His ‘strongly approve’ is at 21%, lowest in his presidency.

what’s REALLY funny is that the left thinks it’s winning !

ROFL!

They have no idea what’s coming in 2012.

I say let them believe those paid astroturf rallies really reflect the wishes of the people!

all the more fun to see the tears and shock in 2012.

Great line! I love it.

Obama has lost control of the agenda. Even Soros threw him under the bus...

I only have one question: why is it only at -20?

Because 30% of the adults you see on the street are shuffling, drooling morons.

And I’m not including the 10% that are only droolers (moderates).
