1 It will be interesting to see how low Obama can go in the approval polls. What is the percentage of neo-marxists plus blacks that will never give up on him?... 30%?

2

OMG! They're actually reporting  first wanker isn't popular????

What did he do to them? Leave them off the guest list or something?

3 pointing out Obama's poll numbers?
Raaacist!

4 BTW: does this mean we don't have to listen to how Reagan was the most unpopular anymore???

I notice Ronald Reagan ties Truman at this point in there respective terms. I guess that shoes what a hostel pres can do to an otherwise successful administration (more-so Reagan than Truman at this point).

What would Obama's numbers look like with a hostile media? I say about 30% positive. I don't see them going any lower than that just due to the Dem Party true believers and party apparatchiks that would love him after eating a live kitten on TV, and that's about 30% of the country.

6 Just noticed Huckleberry's same call on the percents.

7 Palin is more popular then obama. Just wait til she campaigns! You skeptics will be knocked right on your ass. You heard it here.

What would Obama's numbers look like with a hostile media?

20%: Hardcore marxists, complete idiots, and M'chell's staff

9 What would Obama's numbers look like with a hostile media?

Dunno, because he'd just be another Democrat Senator from Illinois, if that was the game.

10 Jim#5, Reagan also inherited very high unemployment AND very high inflation, so it took awhile for the true tax cuts to get passed in 83? i think which then catapulted him to a 49 state reelection victory.

11 Obama's a one trick one term pony (or unicorn).

12 The fact that Gibbsy had to play the "Gallup is like a kid with a crayon" card is no doubt a message to the MSM. This poll has been officially declared doubleplusungood by the Administration.
Of course, Gibbs petulant response is also a signal that Obama knows full well that he's losing the middle. As someone pointed out yesterday, he's only one point ahead of Palin in approval rating. Once that barrier is broken (and it will be) it'll be near impossible for the media to ignore Obama's slide into negative territory. Should spark quite a few animated discussions around the Christmas dinner table. I for one can't wait.

13 obama is on tv doing his best to tie all things bad in the world to bush, again...

he is about to put me to sleep.

Well keep in mind Truman was an accidental president and had big shoes to fill after FDR. Also about one year into the Truman admin the war was over and the economy took a dip.

Also Reagans first full year ended in 1982 which had the highest unemployment since the great depression, his economic policies had not kicked in at that point.

I still think Obama is going to be a two term president. Only three times in the past 110 years have the american people voted a sitting president out of office. the others that were one term presidents left of their own free will or were assassinated.

 

The economy will probably be around 6 percent in 2012, which will be enough for Obama to say he saved the American economy. Also the Republicans will win the house and maybe the senate in 2010, which will moderate Obama in that same way 1994 moderated Bill Clinton thereby allowing him to win a second term. Think 2016 people.

#9 bingo

With a hostile inquisitive media it would be:

Barack Obama?  Never heard of 'em!

Charlie Gibson

16 Obama's first in being last. Unprecedented. So take that, Reichwingers.

17 Would that I could hide the decline.

FMP.

Inflation in the Regan administration at this time (December 1981) has been put down with some seriously stiff interest rates, that also raised the unemployment numbers and that all started under Carter. 1981 was NOT morning in America. I don't think it was until 1984 that Reagan was really out of the economic woods. I'm going off of memory and old "Life" magazines too.

19 Obama is down to 47%! Will you guys take me back please? I promise I won't cheat again, I will change I swear! No more Global Warming stories, no more crap about creationists. I will change come back to me I love you!!!

LOL!

"ONLY" 20%?

But I still think the term "hostile media" is an oxymoron as long as The One is in the house.....Just like with Clinton the reporters like it when the White House can simply hand out their talking points and they don't have to be bothered with any actual "writting".....

21 Daaaang my numbers continue to look bad. So I ain't posting them.

Hide the decline, huh?

11 Obama's a one trick one term pony (or unicorn).

I'm concerned about the "fairness" in media legislation, internet "neutrality", bailing out the newspapers, continued funding of Acorn, Obama's domestic volunteer army, the non-prosecution of the Black Panthers, "polling machine" problems as in NY 23 etc. There seems to be a lot of setting us up to kill all media except pro-Obama media, repress the normal vote, and aid voter registration and fraud. If they could mobilize major fraud while they weren't in power and didn't have the TARP slush fund for bribes, what can they do in power with unlimited money?

I think he will  lose but I worried that he can't

23 FDR's approval numbers were through the roof after he went on TV when the market crashed, but you wingers are too scared to point that out.

It's never OT to post something like that. God bless their souls and comfort their families and colleagues.

25 I think the Reagan stuff is well understood.  My .02 on Truman, a war-weary nation, and 4 consecutive terms for the Dems, I'm amazed Truman managed to beat Dewey.  He was also getting hammered by the Reps (particularly Robert Taft) over China, the China Firsters blamed him for losing to the Reds.

26 Just like with Clinton the reporters like it when the White House can simply hand out their talking points and they don't have to be bothered with any actual "writting".....

Plus, it makes the press conferences, foreign trips, dinner parties and fundraisers go so much more smoothly when everybody's on the same page. The press corps is made up of 90% wusses, 9% fanatics and 1% actual journalists.

27 Just where I like to be, the middle of the pack w/a strong finish at the end.

28 The economy will probably be around 6 percent in 2012

At this point I'd say that's very optimistic.  The only way that happens is if we get a GOP Congress in 2010 with the cajones to ram through growth policies.  Big if.

29 Barry: It's not my fault. I inherited those poll numbers.

30 45% by Jan 15th - book it.

31

Maybe it would help if they would...

Launch Algore out of a Clown-Cannon ?

... couldn't hurt, could sell a lot of tickets.

32 They're gonna have to get Mann on this to hide the decline.
