7 Soon he'll be sitting in the Oval Office pining for those days (today) gone by when his approval was near 50%. The trend is unmistakable and downward in direction. A bloodbath in the 2010 elections will be the icing on the cake for this debacle.

Prediction from Hussein the Plumber, Swami and Climate Scientist.

Obama, to counteract the effect of his plummeting polls, and in an attempt to comfort those Dems he has successfully asked to sacrifice their future in politics, will try to Alynski the entire right side of the political spectrum but mainly the Republican party. He will do this at every opportunity and the active campaigning is already started. It will grow to a fast boil. Watch the MSM pick up the ball and carry it for Barry as well.

Economy: 45 / 51

you're shitting me, right?

But this is the one that is important:
State of the Country
46% Right Direction, 46% Wrong Direction

And this is proof of the Democrats having superior political skills:
Do you think the current economic conditions are mostly something President Obama inherited or are they mostly a result of his own policies?

I'm not so sure about that because it's pretty obvious that Iraq and the economic downturn occurred under Bush. As unfortunate as the recession is and as necessary as the war was, they can't be ignored. Of course it didn't help that Bush wasn't as vocal about either as much as he could have been.

Iskandar, point taken.

But it's been a year now and the economy is getting worse. I know people are being told it's getting better, but it's hard to ignore the facts on the ground. So Obama rightfully deserves the blame for the current economy. It is Obama's policies that are(is?) keeping us from a recovery.

A fair observation, except that the Iraq war was already won under Bush, and the American people know it. And most importantly, a moderately serious, but somewhat routine downturn in the business cycle was fucked into a cocked hat by the Jackass-controlled Congress, who managed to turn it into the worst economic crisis in 35 years. Bush didn't help matters by acquiescing, it's true.

True Bush was president, but who had taken congress in 2006? Obama and his buddies.

In fairness, Congress is generally more important then the President on economic issues anyway. So hopefully the electorate is realizing electing a liberal congress equals a recession or worse. If we had a conservative congress, or even one of McCain clones, we wouldn't have had a mortgage meltdown...

Posted by: unknown jane at December 08, 2009 04:57 PM (5/yRG)

52
The Democrats got a lot of mileage out of saying "we gotta fix the failed policies of the last 8 years," and Obama, everytime he's asked about the shitty economy, likes to use of "it's gonna take longer than a few months to fix the mess created over 8 years."

These excuses have a built in expiration date, but hopefully the Democrats won't notice and they'll continue to use them.

Understood and I agree. That poll question made me read it twice because it stands out, so I had to re-think the context. Most people are apolitical and don't reflect on the current situation until a pollster for example asks them*. That is until things get really, really bad, and we're not quite there yet. Anything's possible and I suspect we're both on the same page in terms of another sudden downturn but the public seems to spend more of it's psychic energy worrying about other stuff.

*Also, that reminds, the poll post doesn't specifically report the order of the questions. Obviously the order of the questions might change people's answers as they drill down into the set. The inherited question could have been first or last, it's not clear from their summary.

This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee has passed this without the Senate voting on it at all.
The full text of the IRS amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage,U.S. Senate
www dot senate dot gov. You can find the bill by doing a search by the bill
number, SB-2099.
Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because the government is trying to fly it under the radar as a 'minor' IRS revision, and, as usual, the 'political'
lawmakers did not read this bill before signing and approving it.

Those are the people who are so stupid that they accidentally lock themselves in public bathroom stalls.

I remember one time I dropped my keys on the pavement and got locked inside my car

Being cavalier and resigning yourself to something you can't stop are two different things.

My usual response to people who tell me to "email my Senator!" is to roll my eyes and snort. My reps are Senators "Rodeo Clown" Franken and Klobuchar; my House rep is Tim Walz. All three lean so far to the left that it's a wonder they don't fall over. Any letter I'd send would be a) ignored, b) ridiculed, or c) laughed at and then used as emergency bung-wipe at the campaign headquarters. In short: letter-writing, demonstrating, or phone calling is a pluperfect waste of time. They regard me, and I regard them, as members of the enemy camp on whom discussion is wasted.

I will vote against them whenever I have the opportunity, but it's an uphill fight in this state. But try to "engage" with them? Waste. Of. Time.

it will be Martha Coakley (D) vs Scott Brown (R) on Jan 19th

Coakley is the MA AG, and Brown is a state senator.She's a real dim bulb, too. Almost as stupid as Jean Sheeheen from NH.

The SEIU has been running third-party ads for Coakley all the way through. Serious radio buys on the major stations. Somebody pass the rolaids

Any of you non-Masshole morons remember the withchunts of the 1980s of going after daycare centers for child abuse?

Martha Coakley prosecuted the Amirault family and sent them to jail from the testimony of 2-year olds!

The case involved sexual abuse and satanic rituals. It was insane.

That bill warning was sent around in a mass e-mail. When I got it I did some research and Snopes debunked it. After reading Snopes I went to the congress web site and checked on the actual bill.

It is going nowhere and hasn't a chance in hell of passing. I also found a news article from the guy who initiated the bill and he admits it has zero chance of passing.

99 46%? Clearly the President and Obama Democrats have not pressed hard enough on the "progressive" agenda----apparently the American people want more bowing to foreign leaders, a definitive push for single-payer, more radicals as czars, and more appeasement of our enemies.

100 I gotta tell ya. These polls actually scare me a little, even though its been pretty much a 45 degree slide to here, it seems most polls show him bouncing around 50% for the last few months, so a fair group is still buying his BS.

Obama...he's the winner of last year's Big Brother contest, right? Sorry, between Biggest Loser, Survivor, the VMAs, and the Big Bang Theory I don't have much time to actually learn anything. But yeah, I approve of him he totally was awesome on the show.

Oprah is retiring? What the hell will I do all day long?!?

But the debates were a hoot. They were all arguing about who is more for abortion, more against corporal punishment, and more taxing the rich.

106 Overall, has Barack Obama met your expectations, exceeded your expectations, or fallen below your expectations as president?
44% Met, 9% Exceeded, 42% Fallen below

Given that we've only had one terrorist attack on American soil since Obama took office, and that the health care abomination hasn't yet passed, should I answer that Obama has exceeded my expectations?

116 This poll is obviously pretty bad for Obama. 46 percent approval? That's bad.

Sure, disapproval is at 44%, but presidents don't get reelected with 46% approval.

Still, this is a bit better for Obama than other polls. I'd like to see what sample they guessed was accurate. The sample is the key to reading any poll. But if this is the best result for Obama, it's a shockingly massive failure of confidence. After all the hype and the massive popularity upon inauguration, he's now literally unpopular.
