Obama, Obamacare At Record Low Approval, Per CBS Poll
— Ace

Other people are linking this, but let me link Freddoso's Conservative Intelligence Briefing, because he included this gif, and I like pictures:

Big numbers: Obama's down to 37% job approval, with 57% disapproving (!). Support for Obamacare itself is down to 31%, with 61% disapproving (!!).

Preferences seem to be cascading:

No loss of support for Obamacare? Uh, sorry, folks, but the loss of support is actually pretty huge — 22 points on net in just one month.

Among Democrats, a 26-point swing against Obamacare. Among independents, a net 23-point swing against Obamacare. Both in just one month[.]

An ABCNews-Washington Post poll released yesterday was not quite so bad for Obama, but it was still very bad:

OBAMA FACES RECORD DISAPPROVAL NUMBERS:

...

The president’s job approval rating has fallen to 42 percent in a new ABC News-Washington Post poll, down 13 percentage points this year and 6 points in the past month to match the lowest of his presidency. Fifty-five percent disapprove — a record. And 70 percent say the country’s headed seriously off on the wrong track — up 13 points since May to the most in two years.

THE PRESIDENT’S PERSONAL IMAGE HAS SUFFERED: President Obama is also at career lows for being a strong leader (down by 15 points this year and a vast 31 points below its peak shortly after he took office), understanding the problems of average Americans and being honest and trustworthy — numerically under water on each of these, LANGER notes. Just 41 percent rate him as a good manager; 56 percent think not. And fewer than half — 46 percent — see him favorably overall, down 14 points this year to the fewest of his presidency. Fifty-two percent now view him unfavorably, a new high and a majority for the first time since he took office.

OBAMACARE’S MOST NEGATIVE RATING TO DATE: Americans by nearly 2-1, 63-33 percent, disapprove of Obama’s handling of implementation of the new health care law. And the public by 57-40 percent now opposes the law overall, with opposition up by 8 points in the past month alone. Fifty-six percent describe the cancellation of health insurance policies that are deemed substandard under the law as “mismanagement” rather than a normal startup problem.

Remember when Republicans were being shellacked for wishing to delay Obamacare? Sure you do. It was like the Summer of Sharks -- a minor story puffed up into prominence by a slow news month before the horrible news of 9/11.

Here's the public on delaying an important part of Obamacare, the individual mandate:

Given the breakdown of the HealthCare.gov website, a broad 71 percent favor postponing the individual mandate requiring nearly all Americans to have coverage. And the mandate’s still widely unpopular in any case; 65 percent of Americans oppose it — a majority of them, strongly. Notably, even among those who support the individual mandate, 55 percent favor delaying it.

Getting back to that picture, and I do like pictures: How does Obama claw his way out of this hole? This is not something easily gotten over, like Bill Clinton's dalliance with Monica Lewinsky.

Because, even though the public disapproved of that affair, and being lied to about it, three things were true in that case:

1. Bill Clinton's sexual dalliance did not in fact "affect his job performance," as liberals constantly screamed. They screamed it... and it was actually true. Although the perjury was a serious charge, committing perjury did not reduce the GDP or the like.

2. Bill Clinton did not continue getting beejers from Monica Lewinsky during the Lewisky scandal, and continue exploring the possibilities of a cigar as a marital aid throughout the duration of his second term.

3. The economy was in great shape, unemployment was down to record lows (like 3.8% in one month), and we had a surplus.

That's why I say that was easily brushed aside, in relative terms. Compare that support-eroding event to Obamacare:

1. Obamacare does in fact "affect Obama's job performance," because it is his job performance. Unlike Bill Clinton, Obama cannot say, "I'm ignoring these distractions in order to focus on working for the American people." Obamacare is his work for the American people, and the American people strongly disapprove.

His only real out here is to agree to repeal it, which, of course, he will not do. If/when he gets down into the twenties, enough Democrats may vote to override his veto of a bill repealing Obamacare.

2. Unlike Bill Clinton, Obama cannot say his filthy affair with redistributive socialism is "in the past" and he's "seeking counseling and the ministering of Jesse Jackson" to "heal himself" of these defects. Obama intends to continue having his torrid public affair with Spreading the Wealth Around until January 2017.

And he won't apologize for it, not really. What he says is basically Woody Allen's non-apology: "The heart wants what it wants." You'll just have to understand his love affair with socialism-- because he's too much in love to break it off.

3. On the economy, I will only say "Obama's economy" because to say more would be to insult your intelligence.

So that leaves that jpg's suggestion: He will just have to avoid talking about it, and hope that taxpayers don't notice he's taking thousands of dollars from them -- sometimes ten thousand dollars or more -- in order to pay for his constant romantic getaways in the Poconos with his socialist mistress.

And how's that going to work?

And does he think the public won't notice when he begins a new, second affair, this time with taking away employer-provided insurance just before the mid-terms?

Obama's in that very special hell, maybe the Circle reserved for the arrogant and deceitful: He can't move forward, and he can't move back. And he also can't stay where he is.

But oh I know: He'll give a speech. Right?

53 I think things are about to go from bad to worse for Obama when the holiday sales don't turn things around for retail. Because, no matter how much the media tries to shield this, people will see it with their own eyes in their communities. How many more shuttered storefronts will there be come January 1, 2014? And, for a lot of people, their decision not to spend as much this year is directly tied to that check they will be writing January 1st (if not before) for their "new and improved" health insurance plans.

Gee, how much will the Census Bureau have to lie in the next six weeks to tell us how great the economy is, and how much shopping  consumers did in the 4th quarter to celebrate Thanksgiving and  Hannukah and Christmas?

 

With one less week in between Thanksgiving and Christmas anyway, less shopping was baked into this 4th quarter.

 

And anecdotally (which is part of the AOS list of comment requirements) I don't know of anybody in my circle of friends who is planning on spending a lot this year.  But then again, I'm not one of Barky's wealthy one percenters.

84 While I realize the employer mandate was delayed, I don't think that has stopped a lot of companies from going ahead and re-configuring their health insurance plans for their employees. I know a large company here that already had everything all set to roll out for January 1 2014 and they aren't rolling it back, so those employees will be paying more out of pocket for their coverage then they did in 2013.

87 Obama was relected in 2012 the same way I predicted a year in advance, although he had help from the Republicans.


He used the FDR strategy.  He flooded the swing States with federal dollars.  He campaigned in swing States promising them the moon and all the stars and telling them that the evil Republicans hated woemenz and would throw grandma off the cliff.


He won those swing States mostly by narrow margins.  And the Republican helped by running yet another squishy "moderate" who failed to excite the base. (compare with Bush not McCain who fell in the same category)

"His only real out here is to agree to repeal it, which, of course, he will not do."

I disagree.  I think he will try to ride this out.  He is a "true believer".  He also, knows that deep down the media loves him almost as much as he loves himself.  He knows that they will circle back to covering him with roses as soon as there is a sliver of good news instead of bad.  Eventually, the website will get working just enough to satisfy the media that it is now perfect.  Then we'll be hit with stories about how Obama is the new comeback kid.

96 Another wrinkle that I'd just thought about - the left is always chiding the middle class for not voting in conformity with the middle class's "economic interests" as identified by the left.  So now tens of millions of people see that the ACA will inure to their economic detriment, they react accordingly, and now they're being criticized for furthering their economic interests.

Seems inconsistent to me. Anyone else?

Posted by: soothsayer I think you're wrong. Only in rare circumstances do people for for a candidate. I' esteimate that 80% of the time, elections are decided by whom it is you want to keep out of power. People voted for Carter because they though Ford was a moron. People voted for FDR because they thought Hoover was going to make the Depression worse. People voted for Bush in '04 because Kerry was a buffoon,not because they liked Bush. I'd say the only times that people voted for a candidate was Reagan in '84 FDR in '36 and '40 Ike in '52 And, sickening as it is, Obama in '08. Most other elections were "keep the other guy out" elections. And off-year elections probably work on the same principle.

Look the focus is on Obama so people don't notice that the Democrats in congress voted for this turd by a huge margin, ramming it through over the loud objections of the mass majority of Americans with a procedural trick. Without reading it, or even finishing the bill.
If they can get people to focus on and blame Obama, well why not reelect Bob? He's real sorry about how Obama messed it all up.

161 My fear is, this is as probably as low as it gets for Obama.  There's about 33% of the population that would kill their spouse/children/parents if Obama asked them.  there's already people out there that have lost their insurance and are fucked that would knock on doors for Obama if he could run again.

And the media LOVES a comeback story (if it involves a Democrat).  The slightest uptick in approval, and "Obama is back!" will be the new meme.

The other thing is, eventually people get used to Hell after they've been burning a while.  I never though a President could get reelected on an 8% unemployment rate, but people had gotten used to it.  A lot of people are going to figure something out and move on.

ObamaCare will eventually gets repealed, at least in part, but I'm not delusional enough to think this is going to be the new normal for the rest of his Presidency.

174 146 And nothing will become of it.

We have the IRS targeting. Nothing Happened.
We have the Unemployment numbers being changed to help Owebama. Nothing Happened.
We have over 100% turnout in precincts and some with 100% tallies for Owebama. Nothing Happened.

They will win in 2014 and nothing will be done about it.

1. IRS scandal- reason for nothing happening = impeachable offense, Darrel Issa and John Boehner are cowards.

2/3. It was all done to save Obama. All the fraud/ changing of the numbers to save Obama. There are too many elections next year to keep the fraud up for the rest of the membership up there on the hill so the midterms are going to be much harder to fix.

Bill always promised to never do it in mouth, and I believed him all 38 times I sucked his cock.  Bill is a serial liar the same as Obama.  They're like two fleas in a pod, and they'll never change their spots like a zebra.

179 Then we'll be hit with stories about how Obama is the new comeback kid. We'll get those when he hits then bounces back above the Mendoza Line. Note: According to teh Wiki, there was a band called The Mendoza Line, whose last album was, fittingly enough for TFG, "30 Year Low." They were great when I saw them open for Stone Temple Pilot in '95.

185 Give up any talk about repeal, it ain't happening. The Dems will never get enough votes, and even if there was some crazed party where they accidentally voted to repeal it, Obama would just veto it. You gotta understand their mindset on this, its the same as with that ethanol subsidy stupidity.
From an AP article on the environmental disaster that ethanol corn farming has become:
"But it's a cost the administration is willing to accept. It believes supporting corn ethanol is the best way to encourage the development of biofuels that will someday be cleaner and greener than today's. Pulling the plug on corn ethanol, officials fear, might mean killing any hope of these next-generation fuels."
If they repeal Obamacare then any hope of that kind of bill dies for a generation or more. Any hope of the big-government mega bill solution to everything dies for a long time. They aren't giving that up. Ever. EVER.

186 His only out is to delay both individual and employer mandate, blame TEA Partiers, Republicans, Rayciss, and saboteurs, then cheat like hell to hold the Senate in 2014.  Having watched him spend every nickel of campaign funds donated to lynch Romney's reputation, I believe he and his flying monkeys are quite capable of this.

187  I think things are about to go from bad to worse for Obama when the holiday sales don't turn things around for retail. Because, no matter how much the media tries to shield this, people will see it with their own eyes in their communities. How many more shuttered storefronts will there be come January 1, 2014? And, for a lot of people, their decision not to spend as much this year is directly tied to that check they will be writing January 1st (if not before) for their "new and improved" health insurance plans.

There is no apology for Obamacare. . .

Obama and the Dems got EXACTLY what they wanted.  If they've changed their collective minds since then, the only acceptable "apology" is to revoke the law.

There's about 33% of the population that would kill their spouse/children/parents if Obama asked them. there's already people out there that have lost their insurance and are fucked that would knock on doors for Obama if he could run again.

Posted by: McAdams at November 20, 2013 03:45 PM (2TMCu)

People have been saying the floor was 40, 42, 45% for a while now. This is the first time he has reached 37% his next lowest was the Nat. Journal poll with 38% and then Gallup/Pew at 39%. The last time he was this low was Gallup in 2011 at 39%, and they were an outlier of the rest of the polls at the time.

President Barack Obama told a gathering of corporate executives Tuesday he’s confident that his model of health care will work in the end, but he said he’s going to have to “re-brand” it to sell it to a skeptical public.


“We are going to have to, (a) fix the website so everybody feels confident about that. WeÂ’re going to have to, obviously, re-market and re-brand, and that will be challenging in this political environment.”

I don't think Dear Leader or anyone in his inner circle care about the polls.  And they certainly don't care about the dems going up for re-election in 2014.  They  have the power now.  Congress, by passing this law and  laws that give the federal ministries  (EPA, IRS, HHS, Education, etc.)   over-reaching power, have made themselves irrelevant.

When I saw her, I think I had internal injuries due to how hard i stifled my laughter, as she looks just like Pam. For the longest time, I couldn't walk by her desk without thinking "WELL SCREW YOUR FREAKIN' DOLPHIN, PAM!"

Barry would be just a crooked IL state senator doing limited harm if the media and pop culture icons had not managed to spread their fake mythical image of him and they will trumpet Shrillary or Warren as the cure for the countries ills if they themselves are not checked.  Although making them laughing stocks probably would be the most effective way to block the effectiveness of the MBM propaganda.

I've always been unbelieving of the Obamacare promises but I thought they would be able to pull off a Ponzi scheme that would have a lifespan of at least one tenth of Social Security (10 to 12 years) before going under. 

 

But this pyramid scheme that Pelosi had to pass to find out what's in it had the unfortunate characteristic of having one level in their attempt to make health care into a multi-level marketing scam.

 

Like a magician that recklessly disregards physics and goes outside the margins of safety, only to find that they actually needed five more seconds to pick that last lock, the Left has fallen for its own lies as truth and can no longer discern their deception from reality.  Reality always comes back.

The Democrats have a point: voters REALLY LIKE their Medicare. LOVE it.

342 314 So, um, not to rain on anyone's parade, but what's the GOP plan for when the Democrats on Capitol Hill suddenly say,

"Oh fuck, this isn't working, we're about to get nuked, time to throw Obama over the side and go for the Hail Mary pass."

Which will be, if I don't miss my guess, a push by the congressional Democrats to enact Medicare For All as a replacement of Obamacare. Complete socialization of the system.

The Democrats have a point: voters REALLY LIKE their Medicare. LOVE it.

The fact that Medicare as it stands on its own right now is completely fiscally unsustainable? It's been a long time since the question of "can the country actually afford this policy" had any traction with our spoiled, innumerate, economically vacuous voters.

Look at the polling released from Gallup two days ago. A margin of 56%-42% do not believe that the federal government should have a role in providing health care to all americans. That filters out the people who feel the government is not doing enough too. Let them try and get Medicare for all after this clusterfuck.

I don't think President Obama and the cadre of hardcore, old-school Alinsky-loving Leftists surrounding him are going to just sit around and lounge by the pool while a drunken Bill Ayers drones on about his glory days in the Weathermen.  They've spent decades marching through the institutions, suborning unions, subverting the press, fellating big money donors, destroying reputations and engaging in character assassination, buying off those they could buy off and breaking the legs of those they couldn't to get the power they've now acquired. You think they're going to give it all up as the result of free and fair elections?

I think a better question is this: why would Obama care? Think about it: he's not running for reelection again. Ever. He's fundamentally transformed this country into a Marxist shithole; he's trying pretty hard anyway. And since that is his goal, why do you think he cares what people think about him? Oh sure, he's an repentant narcissist, but his buddies in the MSM and his core loyalist supporters outside of that group of total hacks will back him no matter how bad things get. The sucking up will continue to soothe his fragile ego while his signature legislation spreads the wealth around. In his mind, that's a win.

They'll probably have to wait a few years to pull something like that, for a while at least, even the LIVs are understanding there's no such thing as free health care.  Somebody gets fucked, and it's looking like Obama's promise that it would only be fat cat bankers that pay for everything is all bullshit.

I'm amazed Democrats didn't simply expand MediCaid to some absurd level where it became a middle class entitlement when they had a blank check after the 2008 election rather than the ObamaCare mess.  Much easier to just add abstract numbers to out national debt than people getting thrown off their insurance or their premiums doubling.

BTW, this is the next boot to drop: no copay for doc visits, no copay for prescription drugs, $6000 deductible, $9750 annual premium....My out of pocket expenses will be $15,000+ before the 80% kicks in. My family and I are healthy so we will never hit the deductible. So basically I'll be taking home almost $10,000 less per year for what amounts to a catastrophic plan. Even though the employer mandate was extended, the market place is already adjusting to 2015's landscape. I am confident that this was the best plan that my company could arrange as insurers anticipate the marketplace clusterfuck that is crashing down on them. Employer based insurance is now too expensive for employed people.

Unfortunately, you are correct - and I am sorry about your personal situation.  At my company, we found out that the premiums for the exact same policy were going up over 50%.  Not more coverage, not better coverage.  The same coverage.  We put off that by changing our plan year to start on December 1, 2013, letting grandfather the policy for 12 months with "only" a 10% increase.  So my employees and I face the spike next December - and I anticipate it being way worse as the insurance death spiral kicks in.

479 Clinton's BJ aside, did he not lie under oath? Or, is that ok now as long as no one got hurt? Posted by: olddog in mo at November 20, 2013 04:12 PM (p0xcJ) The Clinton BJ story is another victim of revisionist history. The only reason anyone found out about Monica was Clinton was being investigated for White Water, rape, and other criminal acts. The Monica thing came to a head (no pun intended) he lied under oath and it was easier to prove than the rest, so they ran with it. The media (being the lapdogs that we all know and despise), the inept Republicans (who we all know and despise), and the usual LIVS (who only pay attention to BJ stories) made it all about the BJ. Credit where it's due, Clinton's spin doctors are the best that ever lived and worth every penny they embezzle. Illicit land deals, fraud, murder, rape, and other felonies became a joke about, "if you were the most powerful man in the worlds, you'd do it too... maybe not a fat chick, but you can't convict a guy for bad taste and a BJ". Several other people went to jail for the crimes, but Clinton got away with all on a joke. Once his time was up, he pardoned everyone the got convicted for the stuff he was involved with... right before his staff trashed the White House and took all the "W"s off the keyboards. Fast forward to 2016, and we're going to put him right back in the White House behind his bitch wife, who is just and much, if not more so, a felon as him.

485 >>>Some time ago, I sent an email to the Yahoo! group, talking about the fact that my schadenboner is being prevented because my inner cynic is sure that the GOP will find some way to screw this up.

That said... other than the potential cover on amnesty issues (thanks again Rubio), I'm kind of amazed at how the GOP has thus far managed NOT to screw it up.

I know I can't be the only one.

They still have time on this. No need to rush, let it simmer, avoid  the female anatomy comments. It took 100years for progs to get here, we're not gonna unring this bell in a matter of weeks. This will get worse for the Progs and Pravda of the Potomac.

486 I'm betting BOzo is thinking about a phone call to Rob Ford right now to see if he can give him suggestions for how to get through the day. Is it wrong that when the entire Dem party is destroyed over this, I will wake up smiling every day for the rest of my life (under a Republican president?) that their Messiah was the one who destroyed liberalism for a generation? Because if it is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I agree. Joe is possibly stupider than Duh!1. And vicious. But he does not actively hate America like Barky and Mooch.

Excuse  me Ms. Working Girl.    Medical  Insurance has always  been available to you.     And if you really wanted it you  could have a sugar daddy  pay for it instead of buying you  a car and jewelry .

"My company's open enrollment period has started .."

 

Ours just ended and I'm a bit confused by it.  I have a basic plan for myself only, the kind of thing I understood would be going away so I'm bracing since insurers are already making adjustments for the pending mandate.  My new total contribution:  $00.25/wk.  One dollar a month. 

 

I'm gobsmacked.  I think there's something wrong somewhere.

I seem to recall the pundits saying that Carter would ensure we wouldn't have another Southern Democrat president for generations. Twelve years later we got BJ Clinton.

500 Posted by: Ricardo Kill at November 20, 2013 04:52 PM (LA7Cm) The wife and mine actually went down. But in fairness, we pay more than double what all of my friends pay, so ours are artificially inflated I suspect. Having said that, if you work for a large employer, I'm not sure you'll see incredible changes. Firstly, large employers are probably already self-insuring and just using insurers as administrative companies. Secondly, after a certain size you start looking like a subset of your community anyway, so things like community rating and guaranteed issue (the later being a requirement of a group plan anyway) start mattering a lot less for premiums.

"How does Obama claw his way out of this hole? "

 

Easy. A Gulf of Tonkin incident. Something more than just bombing a few aspirin factories. Because this Administration has the Best and the Brightest.

507 I mean the dude has demonstrated time and time again he's wily as heck. 5 yrs later and a bunch of shit later and nothing has stuck. Nothing has stuck because the "opposition" are a bunch of nutless pussies, and the Democrats care more about party fortunes than the integrity of the country and its institutions.

512 Ace, they'll happily sneer at black and latinos when it suits them.

Back before Phony Tony Villaraigosa pretended to mayor it over Los Angeles, there was a push to impose performance-based accountability on the teachers and the LAUSD, which was met with considerable disdain.

"You just can't expect kids from <i>those</i> families to learn anything," one union drone was directly quoted as saying.

514 Ace, Just to let you know, your third point (about having a surplus under Clinton) is incorrect. At no time during the Clinton administration did we have a surplus. We had a budget surplus. Totally different thing. There were so governmental expenses that weren't counted as a part of the budget, that we ended up having a deficit every year under Clinton. Check out the "Bureau of the Public Debt" to see what I mean.

I was at the Tea Party Exempt America Rally on September 10, 2013.

 

Now, you can say we did not accomplish much, since America was not exempted and implementation proceeded apace on October 1.  But by insisting that Obamacare be repealed, defunded, or, at minimum, delayed, the Tea Party ensured that the Narcissist in Chief could do none of these things.

 

Because once the Terrorists and Hostage Takers of the Tea Party demand a certain course of action, that action becomes the Definition of Evil, according to our Betters in Washington.  Don't you think there were more than a few people in the White House on September 30, looking at the looming disaster of the website rollout, who wished they had a little bit more time for implementation?  But there was no way this Administration could have delayed implementation, because the Tea Party had made the suggestion.
