Thread: Obama's approval levels reach historic lows!

We recently found out that Obama's falling approval levels took him to the lowest level of any newly sworn in President going all the way back to Truman. Truman was a very unpopular President, but Obama's numbers are even lower than his at this juncture of his Presidency.

While Obama's approval numbers have been weak but holding pretty steady in the Rasmussen samples over the last few weeks, in the last few days the bottom has fallen out on him again.

Check out these graphs and this data. Obama's core approval ratings and general approval ratings have hit new historic lows.

It now appears that Obama is heading lower that Bush eventually went!

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Monday, December 14, 2009

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -18.

That’s a one point improvement from yesterday when Obama’s Approval Index rating fell to the lowest level yet recorded. Prior to the past three days, the Approval Index had never fallen below -15 during Obama’s time in office (see trends).

As the health care plan struggles in the Senate, public opposition remains stable. Fifty-six percent (56% ) oppose the plan working its way through Congress while just 40% favor it. In Nevada, the health care bill is causing problems for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s bid for re-election.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.

Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That’s the lowest level yet measured for this president. Previously, his overall approval rating had fallen to 45% twice, once in early September and once in late November.

Fifty-five percent (55%) now disapprove.

Seventy-two percent (72%) of Democrats now offer their approval while 80% of Republicans disapprove. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, just 36% approve.

Seventy-seven percent (77%) of liberals approve while 76% of conservatives disapprove. The bad news for the President is that there are a lot more conservatives in the country than liberals. However, he gets a bit of a boost because 57% of moderate voters still offer their approval.

The President earns approval from 37% of White voters and 98% of African-American voters.



Check out our review of the week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.â€

I heard this on the news yesterday and they are expecting his approval ratings to drop even further this week.... Americans cannot get jobs and over 656,000 Americans have, so far, been out of work for OVER 6 MONTHS!!!!!!

Yikes! Dig a hole! Say bye bye to the Dems next year, thats what this tells me.

It's fine to see them go "bye-bye". But unless we have people who are willing to stand up and do the right thing and restore our Republic and personal Liberty, and responsibility, we won't see much "change" accept for more of the bad S.O.S.

Absolutely we NEED BIG CHANGE in BOTH Parties so the games they love to play with us ARE OVER!!!!KICK THEM ALL OUT!!!!

The President earns approval from 37% of White voters and 98% of African-American voters.

I just don't understand how 98% of African-Americans still stand behind Obama. You would think at least 50% or more would be open to the possibility of looking past race, and viewing the president objectively. From what I have read African-Americans have been the most adversely effected group that has been facing the most hardships created by the new administration.

98% is just amazing! Look at a football stadium full of fans, if the stadium was 98% full it would be hard to find the open seats. Now that is an example of Obama completely controlling a block of Americans that will never waiver from supporting him. Just amazing.

Instead of constantly REACTING to moves by the pro-illegals TRAITORS in Congress, such as working to counter the Dream Act or amnesty, we should be taking the OFFENSIVE,

by demanding of our federal reps that they ENFORCE already-existing law.

That would include GETTING RID OF THE ILLEGALS. Not coddling them or giving them anything else besides stiff fines and deportation.

Here's the way to accomplish that:


Round up a few thousand of them, as an example to the rest. Fine each one $10,000. Then FORCE-work those unable to pay the fines [on chain gangs, road crews, etc.] to pay off the fines before deporting them. When the rest see that happening, they will leave "pronto." Because low wages in Mexico, etc. is still better than NO Wages paying off fines, right?

Don't let the bleeding heart lib pols tell you that would violate their civil rights. For judges have sentenced our own citizens guilty of crimes to hard labor. So why not the illegals too?

I was told that crap by one of Rep. Maxine Waters staff. But I wasn't going for it, so we got into it. And we all need to "get into it" with any pro-illegals sympathizers masquerading as representing us in Congress.

While you're at it, tell your federal reps to ban the use of "press 2 for Spanish" phone menus. For that shows unconstitutional favoritism to one group, while patently discriminating against all other non-English speaking minorities. Don't let the traitors try to tell you that the only reason why they condone the use of a "press 2 for Spanish" phone menu is because Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States. To that I say, "So what?!" For the Equal Protection clause of the 5th Amendment to the Constitution essentially says that, "What you do for one group, you must do for all groups." So, the only way to comply with constitutional requisites for fairness is to show NO group any special treatment.

But actually there is no legitimate reason why anyone here legally should not already know English, except for tourists legally here. And they can hire an interpreter, same as you or I would have to do when visiting a country whose language we didn't understand.

Tell them to make English our official language, since it is the language upon which our country and its laws were founded.

And tell them to replace the "press 2 for Spanish" phone menus with "press 2 to report an illegal alien [to I,C.E.]." Plus also prohibit the dual language government services. It costs a lot of taxpayer money to create dual language services. And 70 pages in English translates to about 100 pages in Spanish, thereby driving up costs for more paper, ink, postage, etc.

Lastly, get your reps to pass a law clarifying for the courts that the illegals are NOT the "We the people" intended by our Constitution, and that the constitution of Mexico, etc. has no jurisdiction here. Accordingly, the illegals are NOT constitutionally entitled to Due Process or any other constitutional rights, only to SUMMARY JUSTICE, same as military tribunals dispense.

So that the ACLU, etc. will have NO STANDING to file lawsuits on behalf of illegals. And the courts will have NO JURISDICTION to review lawsuits for illegals.

Additionally, now that the Dream Act has been voted down again, let's not wait for the TRAITORS to resurrect it again. But to instead demand that already-existing federal law is ENFORCED against the universities and other schools harboring illegal aliens as students, or employees.

For federal law says it's a felony CRIME to aid or abet, or to harbor or encourage, illegal aliens. See:


http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE ... C1324.html


So demand of your federal reps to have all universities and other schools PROSECUTED for harboring illegal aliens. Fine them $10,000 EACH illegal found there, and make the schools pay all deportation costs, not taxpayers.
Then our own kids can fill those slots.

Another thing we can do is to demand that United Way and any other non-profit group aiding illegal aliens be prosecuted for that. Such groups are using our donations and taxpayer money to ENGAGE IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, as federal law says aiding illegal aliens is. They can be prosecuted under the RICO Act.

And even those in Congress can be prosecuted under the RICO Act. In fact, YOU or I can file a class action lawsuit against Congress to ENJOIN them from granting amnesty or anything else for illegal aliens.

I've already spoken with Mr. Gheen urging him to do it. But he wants me to get a lawyer to agree to do it. I've been trying to do that. But so far all the lawyers claiming to oppose amnesty have played "deaf and dumb" to my requests. If you know any lawyer who has the guts to oppose the traitors in Congress, then PLEASE, by all means, get him or her to file a class action lawsuit to enjoin Congress from granting amnesty, and also to COMPEL enforcement of existing law.

At Mr. Gheen's suggestion over a month ago, I phoned IRLI, speaking to a female aide who expressed enthusiasm for my idea of having them handle the class action to block amnesty, etc. She directed me to send her boss a lengthy email letter outlining my idea, as I did. But I never got a reply, despite twice afterwards asking for a reply letting me know if they would handle the class action lawsuit. I also asked them to let Mr. Gheen know, because he told me he would go ahead with it if the law group would back him up by handling it.

right on tncdel

93camaro, don't pretend to be so naive.

My son recently saw an Obama bumper sticker on a car that had been half removed. How's that for a message?
