Juan Williams was in for O'Reilly last night...

Even Juan is turning on Obama.....he wondered when he was going to stop campaigning...

Harris poll puts Obama approval at 45%

This one is Harris rather than Rasmussen so is not directly comparable but the trend is there.

I think a lot of what Juan does on the panels is just takes the liberal position.  I've heard he is good friends with Justice Thomas so I think we are seeing the real Juan here.  I just watched Fox News Watch today and he pointed out something on the Limbaugh thing.

Some editorial said Rush judges people thumbs up and thumbs down and now he has been judged and Juan pointed out that Oberman does the same thing but is still allowed to be a sports commentator.

I still can't fathom how he's still THIS high.  Maybe because people aren't actually seeing the bill yet...

The WH had announced that they "control the media".  Remove that and the polls plummet.

I think most Americans just don't want to think ill of their president.  Especially when he hasn't even been 1 year on the job.

Apparently.

Or a new low, if one likes to look at it that way.

As coach would say, "Oh my."



Even the left is abandoning him now.

Nope, not the lowest.

Interestingly enough Rasmussen had this on their page;

Quote
Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.


47% SOMEWHAT approve while 53% disapprove.  Not somewhat disapprove just .... disapprove.  Wonder what the real approval numbers are?

How long before the Oministration decides this isn't really news and demands that all the remaining "real" news services ignore them?

All I know is that it's been in negative double digits for days now, but it's still just a little less than half that approves "somewhat".

I always wonder the reason(s) behind the trends, my guess is he's tanking this time because of his waffling on Afghanistan. He avoids that but will attack a cable news organization  = small and petty.

You had to mention that double digit thing , didn't you?



I give up trying to figure out what is going on with the people being polled.

Yeah, he was, and is.

Up somewhere by Boston, where the Democrats are having problems filling seats at some $6,000-a-plate dinner.  They invited the cream of the New England Democrats, but as not many were eager, now they're inviting the skim milk of the New England Democrats, so as to fill the house.

Hasn't he been in a different state every day this week?

I've come to the conclusion there's a very good reason he goes to all these different places....

He gets the super-duper treatment - AirForce One, limos surrounded by police and SS, then into an event filled with people screaming and yelling and waving signs of approval...he feeds off of it.

He constantly needs to have it reinforced in order to feel good about himself. The more it happens ....the more he wants it.

Some people respond to adulation just like an addictive drug.

He's developed a serious addiction.

It seems like he spends less time in DC than anywhere else. I guess it is his way of avoiding the responsibilities of office.  It's hard to campaign from behind a desk.

There also isn't any praise coming to him in DC right now either....
