Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That is the lowest level of total approval yet recorded for this President. Fifty-one percent (51%) now disapprove. A plurality of voters now believe the President views American society as unfair and discriminatory.

There were no reports of him doing something stupid over the weekend. People are happier when he does nothing.

I think there's little doubt that Lord Zero's stupid comment calling the Cambridge PD's actions "stupid[ly]", and the resulting stupid Beer Summit that depicted Lord Zero's arrogance and Officer Crowley's graciousness in one fell swoop had an impact last week.

And LO's attempt to recover from those stupid gaffes is to remain silent, stay out of the press for 20 minutes, and even stay home for a change.

The sheeple respond well to no information, apparently.

Part of it could be margin of error fluctuation, otherwise as others have said he probably hasn't been on TV much the past couple of days.

They were asked to inform on anyone who "spread disinformation" to the pollster, and those people were contacted by the WH and re-polled.

After 6 Months, More View Obama's Presidency as a 'Failure' Than Bush's
Posted by Tom Bevan | Email This | Permalink | Email Author

A rather surprising finding from the newly released CNN poll. Question three on the national survey of 1,136 adults (which includes an oversample of African-Americans) asks, "Do you consider the first six months of the Obama administration to be a success or a failure?"

Thirty-seven percent (37%) said they believe the Obama administration is a "failure," while 51% consider it a "success" and 11% say it's still "too soon to tell."

An identical question was asked of the Bush administration in an August 2001 CNN/Gallup/USA Today survey. At the time, 56% said the Bush administration was a "success" while only 32% considered it a "failure."

I heard a clip on the radio news this morning that stated that even the biased MSM sponsored presidential approval polls are starting to show the messiah at 50% and dropping........apparently it is getting harder and harder to gerrymander the numbers to make him look good........and still maintain any shred of credibility.......

his "spy on your neighbor" website, the fraud of health care reform, the carbon as polutant fraud, the "stimulus" fraud are all "comming home.....to....ROOST!" . As the "statist" smell becomes thicker, his fortunes will continue to fail. The more he will thrash around throwing off spin, lies, which will create more negativwe pressure. Even some democrats are becoming sick of seeing and hearing from him EVERY SINGLE DAY!

-5 on the passion index, but not doing so well on approval.

indeed - I've been watching via realclearpolitics.com - even by using some polls that skew left - it seems nobody can stop the gradual slide to below 50% (its 53.3% at this moment)

And today the same poll is 53.1 - A nice slow sinking...

The day the RCP average drops below 50% it will be Bedlam on the island. Should be just in time for Christmas.

No great changes, he's still at -9%, a few tidbits in the summary though.

As the result in 2008 showed Rasmussen is the most accurate of all the pollsters, however as part of a trend this result from the uber flakey Zogby is worth noting. If Zogby gets this result then trouble is ahead.

Zogby: Obama Hits Record Low in Poll

Thursday, August 20, 2009 7:07 PM

By: David A. Patten Article Font Size

President Barack Obama's popularity has plummeted to a record low, with just 45 percent of voters now approving of his performance, according to the latest Zogby International poll.

Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the president's job performance, just 45.3 percent of likely voters say they approve. That compares with 50.5 percent who disapprove of the job Obama is doing.

The results are a strong indication that contentious national debate over healthcare reform has taken a major toll on the president's popularity. ...

tHE ECONOMY will not grow as a result of the actions of Obama, but despite him. Everything that he has done has been damaging to the economy, INCLUDING cash for clunkers. The short bump in the economy will not have a a long term boost to the economy, as the pent up demand will be exhausted, and buyers will wait for another bonus for buying.

ON-OFF-ON-OFF is not a way to make the economy run smoothly. Seems everyone EXCEPT the Obama admin knows this.

bijou · « **Reply #196 on:** August 22, 2009, 09:40:50 AM »

After several days of no real change, today marks a slight difference as Obama dips back into double figures on the index.

As ever the MOE is +/- 3% so anywhere between 7 and 13%.
