Obama Hits Lowest Approval Mark
February 8, 2010 12:58 PM
Independent voters see Pres. Obama in a negative light by a nearly 2-1 margin, according to a new Marist College survey, while almost half of voters say he has failed to meet their expectations.
The poll, conducted Feb. 1-3, showed just 44% of registered voters approving of Obama's job as president. 47% disapprove. But among indie voters, Obama's approval rating sits at a terrible 29%, while his disapproval rating is at 57%.
Obama's 44% job approval rating is the lowest he has scored in any non-internet poll since moving into the WH, according to a review of data compiled by Pollster.com.
And while GOPers strive to avoid attacking Obama personally, for fear of offending voters who see him in a favorable light personally, even that aura of invincibility is wearing off. Independent voters view Obama negatively, too, by a 39% favorable to 52% unfavorable margin. All registered voters still see Obama favorably by a 50%-44% margin, but that's down 5 points in just 2 months.
Voters are disappointed in what they got with Obama's first year. The poll shows 47% believe Obama has failed to meet their expectations -- including a quarter of Dems, 65% of GOPers and 53% of indie voters -- while just 42% say he has met their expectations. 38% say Obama's policies are moving the country in the wrong direction, while 37% say they're making the country better.
Meanwhile, members of Congress should brace for a difficult election year. 42% of registered voters said they would back their current member of Congress, while 44% said they would support someone else -- a drop of 9 points in support of the incumbent in just 2 months.
The Marist College poll surveyed 910 registered voters for a margin of error of +/- 3.2%.
Fellow Republicans, we have been dealt a blessing through adversity, lets not blow these 2010 elections. Get Anti-Illegal Immigration, Pro-FairTax, Pro-Protected Trade candidates on the ballot to win back our country in 2010. It's not complicated. It's very simple. Lets don't screw this up. Our country is counting on US more than you know to get this right so they have candidates to vote for that they can trust to put our country and citizens first and foremost, always and forever. _________________ "A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation."
