I can't think of anything to explain that spike in his approval rating.

Hi,

Perhaps it can be they are not shoving health care down our throats for the moment.

I did see on Fox last night where the head of the AFL/CIO said that card check will pass.  That will cause a huge drop even among some union members.

The last that I heard was that card check has less support among Dims than the health care take over. Unless the unions are planning on bribing donating to all Dims this summer and fall, I don't see support for it growing.

Rasmussen discussed this--his bump is purely among his base.  Among independents, he is losing ground, so when the base realizes they're not getting their free ponies, they'll dump his ass too.  Keep in mind, his strong approval hasn't been this high on a consistent basis since March.  This is a SOTU/screw-you-I'm-gonna-ram-socialism-down-your-throats bump.

Thats my take on it - after the ponies disappear back into the ether, so will the bump.

Well now, surely this was not unexpected.

And it is possible il Duce Bo will get into the positive numbers a time or two yet.

But the general trend is downward.

Only after the free ponies are delivered in a wide choice of colors.

Yeah, I'm not thinking he'll ever see positive numbers again.

This budget will negatively impact his numbers, and as its' insanity becomes more and more obvious the lower his approval will become. Also drivi9ng down his approval will be if Obama sticks to the civilian terrorist trial in NYC goes forward. The defence will play Obama etal saying that the terrorist is giulty and we're gonna hill the bastard. True, of course, but excelent grounds for dismissing the case anf then how would justice be served? Even the presentation of this will butcher the approval numbers.

Back to -6 today, more from a drop in strong disapproval than anything else.  Expect him to be back to -15 by the end of the month.

And wait 'til the Limbaugh campaign to put Rahmbo's reference to Dim'Rat activists as "effin' retards" front and center starts bearing fruit.

Back to -12 today...guess the base found out there's no free ponies after all, and the Vegas comments are biting him in the ass.

Obama Hits Lowest Approval Mark

Independent voters see Pres. Obama in a negative light by a nearly 2-1 margin, according to a new Marist College survey, while almost half of voters say he has failed to meet their expectations.

The poll, conducted Feb. 1-3, showed just 44% of registered voters approving of Obama's job as president. 47% disapprove. But among indie voters, Obama's approval rating sits at a terrible 29%, while his disapproval rating is at 57%.

Obama's 44% job approval rating is the lowest he has scored in any non-internet poll since moving into the WH, according to a review of data compiled by Pollster.com.

And while GOPers strive to avoid attacking Obama personally, for fear of offending voters who see him in a favorable light personally, even that aura of invincibility is wearing off. Independent voters view Obama negatively, too, by a 39% favorable to 52% unfavorable margin. All registered voters still see Obama favorably by a 50%-44% margin, but that's down 5 points in just 2 months.....
