Daily Presidential Approval Index

[Revolution]

From already seeing it go to the 20s, I wouldn't be surprised if it slips once in a while into the lower/mid 30s once the HCR bill detriments start kicking in.

-17 today; must be the mid-summer doldrums.

Voters overwhelmingly believe that there is currently too much regulation of small businesses but are evenly divided about whether big business needs more or less regulation. Overall, 69% say that when it comes to helping the economy and creating jobs, more competition and less government regulation is better than increased regulation and less competition.  Voters are evenly divided over a one-year moratorium on new government regulations.

In Arizona, the federal government is in court trying to prevent implementation of the state’s new immigration law. The law is scheduled to go into effect next week and 65% of voters statewide support the legislation. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Arizona voters want the president to send more U.S. troops to patrol the border. Governor Jan Brewer has gained popularity ever since signing the law and now holds a commanding lead in her bid to keep the job.

Nationally,  most (54%) oppose the building of a Mosque near Ground Zero, the site of the 9/11 terror attacks, but few people are following the story.

Sixty-three percent (63%) oppose year-round schooling and see value in summer vacations.

The Florida Senate race remains a Toss-Up between Marco Rubio and Charlie Crist. Looking nationwide, Democrats hold a 49-44 advantage in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Balance of Power summary. Seven states are Toss-Ups.

Republicans still have a run-off election to select their nominee for governor of Georgia, but whoever they pick will end up in a close race with Democratic nominee Roy Barnes. Democratic Governor Mike Beebe holds a ten-point lead in Arkansas. Independent candidate Lincoln Chafee holds a slight lead in his bid to become governor of Rhode Island.

-18 today.

Seventy-five percent (75%) prefer free markets over a government managed economy, but the Political Class disagrees.

Governor Joe Manchin holds a double digit advantage in the West Virginia Senate race while Senator Blanche Lincoln continues to trail badly in  Arkansas. Looking nationwide, Democrats hold a 49-44 advantage in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Balance of Power summary. Seven states are Toss-Ups.

Here is the visual evidence just to confirm.

that high?

His ratings are low, so he has to go on TV again. Lord Zero will be appearing on ABC's The View Thursday.  Great , the metrosexual and the old hens have a lot in common. They all hate the US.

I admit to watching The View. I've already watched FoxNews for most of the morning, there's not much choice at that time of the morning (11:30) and it's something that I can have it on, still work and not get distracted like I would with a movie or decorating/cooking show. Besides, watching Joy Behar, is kind of like reading the Dumpster....it's mind-boggling how that woman thinks 

I do have a problem with Obama going on the show. It will be an hour long love fest...with the exception of Elizabeth Hasselbeck who is a very conservative Republican.....and 100's of thousands of people, mostly women, will be influenced by his appearance, and confirm to them that he is The One.

I have to admit, though....I think it's not only very sad and pathetic, but "snarky" funny that The President of the United States thinks it's not only appropriate...but necessary...to go on a morning entertainment talk show...to improve his "ratings" and image and to promote not only himself, but his agenda.

[thundley4]

I like Hasselbeck, but not enough to put up with the other morons on that show.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Well, it's not going to do much for him with the demographic that's defecting fastest - male independents - and women without jobs outside the home is already about as strong for him as it's going to get.

I also think it is beneath the office of the Presidency to go on late night talk shows like Leno, Letterman, etc. However, what does a community organizer know about proper protocol. Bowing to muzzies and kicking our friends in the ass.

Back to -20 this morning.

Back to -20 this morning.

Be interesting to see if it goes further down, as word gets around about Michelle and Sasha taking a "mother-daughter time alone" long-weekend trip to Spain!!! next week. Then meeting up with Malia and the prez on the Florida Gulf Coast for another long weekend and the "needed rest and recovery trip" ( ) of 10 days on Martha's Vineyard.

In this economy, most of us mothers do our "mother-daughter" alone time, if we can splurge - with a mani/pedi at the local nail salon. If we can't splurge, it might only be lunch for two at Taco Bell, or a trip to the local library.

[Revolution]

What?? You trip with your daughter to Jamaica isn't happening, deb?

 

[debk]

What?? You trip with your daughter to Jamaica isn't happening, deb?

 

nope. I can't afford to take me to Jamaica right now!

[miskie]

10 days on Martha's Vineyard.

Oh God no..  I live walking distance to one of the main MV ferry launch points, and a few miles from a regional airport that flies vacationers out. Every time either Clinton or Obama head in that direction, the streets & skies are full of secret service and tourists.

And of course, Otis ANG will be sending out its own aircraft..

-15 today.

[DefiantSix]

It appears that Comrade Smith in the Ministry of Troof (& Shit) has been scrubbing Big Brotha's approval numbers again.

[Revolution]

I hope his approval numbers PLUMMET in the next couple days after this shell of 1070 passes in AZ at midnight.

****ing judge...

[franksolich]

-16 today.

A federal judge ruled yesterday to block implementation of the Arizona immigration law. Rasmussen Reports began polling last night to measure reaction and Platinum Members can get a heads up on the preliminary results. Most voters were opposed to the Justice Department’s legal action against Arizona. It is likely that the judge’s ruling will keep the issue alive, adding to an already difficult political environment for the Democrats.

In the Missouri Senate race, Republican Roy Blunt has opened a six-point lead. In Nevada, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has taken the lead for the first-time while Oregon Senator Ron Wyden continues to hold a big lead. In the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Balance of Power summary, Missouri moves to Leans Republican and Nevada now Leans Democratic. Overall, Democrats have a 50-45 advantage and five states are Toss-Ups.

In the race for Governor of Illinois, Republican State Senator Bill Brady has now opened a seven-point lead over embattled Governor Pat Quinn in Illinois’ gubernatorial race.

I can only hope this stays true, but Illinois is going to be screwed either way. Dems will stay in charge of the state government with unions pulling the strings.  Instead of any meaningful cuts in spending, we will be seeing massive tax hikes and or hikes in other fees.

[Eupher]

I'm encouraged to read the news about Roy Blunt.

Robin Carnahan, his Dem opponent, is a world-class liberal and would fall square in-line with the Dem party line.
