Obama Disapproval Back Up To 51%
— Ace

As I mentioned yesterday, I am keenly interested in whether or not recent events represent Obama's Fallujah, or his Sadr City.

Obama's disapproval went up +1 to 51%.

Obama's highest weekly disapproval rate was 50%, but this 51% is based on a three-day rolling average, not a weekly snapshot, so those two are not directly comparable.

Obama's highest level of disapproval is 52%, something he's hit twice line the past month (and hit before last August, before the 2010 elections). So the record for the three-day track would be 53%.

Since the track of July 26-28, there have been thirteen three day averages; Obama's disapproval has been at 50% or higher for ten of those thirteen windows. (And was still in the high 40's the three times it was under 50.)

His approval also went up one point, so he's at 41%/51% and on the net no worse than yesterday.

Of course I am hoping that we finally see the long-anticipated break here.

I don't believe so. There just is a core, 40 to 45 percenters, of the electorate that will ALWAYS, ALWAYS vote liberal Democrat. That includes blacks and Jews - no matter the black unemployment rate, no matter what Bambi does to Israel.

15 I think Dear Comrade Obama has a harder floor of support thanks to the Cult of RacioPersonality. That said, there's a lot of jibber-jabber on the Left about how disappointed they are in Captain Unicorn, because he hasn't brought Nirvana down to Earth and all, but I'm very dubious that that kind of criticism leads them all to profess heresy of denial of his Magnificence to a pollster.

31 You have to parse the poll more finely than looking at the overalls. People of color will "approve" of him if he sold their grandparents for dog food. A fair percentage of whites will "approve" to look cool and prove to themselves they're not racist. The only poll that counts is in November 2012. Right now, it's time to scrutinize the daylights out of the Republican primary to present a candidate we don't have to hold our nose at to vote for - John McCain I'm looking at you dude!

I think this is probably more accurate. There's probably about 33% or so who will never, never desert him. He could be found with a live boy & a dead girl, and they'd still vote for him.

I do think that once he breaks below 40, he's done. If that does happen between now and, say, September '12, there will be a name other than Obama's at the top of the Dem ticket come November. At that point, he will have lost all the independents and, most importantly, the ones he's currently lost will be so thoroughly disillusioned there will be no way to get them back with him on the ticket.

From Maureen Dowd ...

Â“ObamaÂ’s assumption that you can rise above ascribing villainous motives has caused him to waste huge chunks of his first term seeking bipartisanship from Republicans who were playing him for a dupe.Â”

This line gives Obama (and the Republicans) too much credit.

It should read Â…
Â“ObamaÂ’s assumption that he could rise above his personal inadequacies has caused him to waste huge chunks of his first term trying to Â‘willÂ’ his own predetermined outcome while the Republicans (and some Democrats) were hoping he would get a clue on how to negotiate in a bipartisan manner (or any manner for that matter). DC isnÂ’t Chicago after all.Â“

Leni Riefenstahl could make a propaganda film that would sway opinion, but no more. Who's going to plunk down $11 to watch this thing? Libs. It's like Fahrenheit 911. They preached to the choir.

Now this movie will be a little more slick. It might not even feature Barry too much, but the viewer will either want to see a military thriller (and hence be turned off by too much politics) or will want to see a political film (and hence be unswayed.

Propaganda today is achieved by making snide remarks in sitcoms or cartoons or even do the Daily Show schtick of replacing the news entirely with biased entertainment. But it has to be continuous and it has to be free.

80 61

Has anyone seen a reasoned analysis on the effect of the increasing trend of cell phones being the primary or sole communication hub vs land lines as regards polling. I've heard pollsters comment on this anecdotally, but haven't seen anything published.

Do cell phones publish the address and zip of the person being polled? If not, then this is why they don't do it. Its a statistical model of favorability towards a subject within a construct of known constraints (neighborhoods/socio-economic strata/race/etc). They would have to poll a significantly increased number of random phone numbers to begin to build a picture of public favorability towards any subject. Their confidence numbers would likewise decrease and margine of error would increase.

That is my guess.

92 Of course, his approval/disapproval numbers have little to do with him and the job he is doing (if they did, his disapproval would be 80 percent, at least) and everything to do with the voters' willingness to admit their mistakes to themselves. It's akin to the guy who goes to the craps table in Vegas with a sure-fire betting strategy and a hard self-imposed limit on the amount he's willing to lose: how many times does he reach into his wallet for more money and how many times does he run to the ATM when his wallet is empty and how many times does he take credit card advances when his bank account is empty, out of his unwillingness to admit to himself that his sure-fire system doesn't work all that well?

Yeah, but what I'm positing is a complete Demo-geddon anyway. Think of it- if President Obama (who is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure) hits even the high 30's on approval, they'll know he's going to lose.

Add to that the fact their magazines (as in: ammunition) will be mostly empty- Wisconsin was a costly mistake, all contributions made to Obama between now and whenever he finally completely capsizes will have been a costly mistake. Unions falling apart, etc., etc. They'll be demoralized (because of these two reasons, at least), and Republicans will be looking for "pay back" for 2006 & 2008.

At that point, they'll have to do something to staunch the bleeding. Now, here's the thing: I don't think it'll be Hillary. I think they'll call in someone from the proverbial AAA leagues to be a sacrificial lamb in the hopes they'll at least enthuse the base enough to prevent complete disaster on the down-races.

You'll get lots of appearances (once again) from people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (who would love to be in the limelight again anyway) talking about how, while they'd love to support Barak, "we need to face reality. His intentions were good! His plans were grand! But he was brought LOW!... by the intransigence of the Republicans!" Or something like that, anyway.

Nobody will primary him. However, they could offer him a deal (remember that he's planning to raise $1 billion) to bow out and have them elect somebody at the convention. It's an outside shot and Obama'd have to be in on it, but it's possible.

Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure.

Barack Obama is the current President of the United States.

He's a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure though, right?

What do you think of Bill Clinton?

Wasn't he the guy who stained an intern's dress?

No, he is not my brother. He is a wonderful friend.

You are friend's with Slick Willy?!

Why won't you be my friend?

Because I'm a Tea Party Terrorist and you pal around with Bill Clinton.

I desire things like smaller government, sane fiscal policy and strong national defense and warm willing women.

Personal observation - Obama approval poll results are only half as interesting as London riots. Does this mean Obama skates while London burns or does it mean everyone is getting tired of his shit and wants to move on? I leave it to the morons to figure out.

213 And now was acknowledged the presence of the Miserable Failure. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the liberals in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and whined each in the despairing posture of his fall.

And Darkness and National Decline and the Miserable Failure held illimitable dominion over all.

226 Obama's failure was that he wasn't clear and made too many mistakes in communicating his message. That, and lack of exposure. It's really sad that he would take up a bunker mentality and withdraw the way he did.

I mean, really, anything would have helped. For instance, he should have made more of an effort to get out and promote a healthy activity, like golfing.

So sad.

234 There is something wrong with this polling. In November 2010 when Obmessiah was wasted in the mid-terms he was only in mild disapproval territory. Now he is a lot worser. If the relationship between poll and vote remains the same Barky won't even be toast in Nov. 2012.

I guess his remaining popularity is due to all those who are still eating regular and assume its due to the One.

The polling needs to be broken down state by state, by electoral count.

If JEF skews up because of a 65% popular approval rate in California, that popular average doesn't matter when most other states add up to an Electoral disapproval rate of more than 50%.
