Poll shows voters abandoning prez in droves

[bijou]

WASHINGTON -- President Obama's overall approval rating has sunk to a new low -- and independent voters who propelled him to the White House have gotten downright sick of the job he's doing, according to a devastating poll released yesterday.

Obama's job-approval rating has tanked to a dismal 29 percent among independents, the Marist College survey found. His disapproval rating is nearly twice as high -- 57 percent.

Obama's overall approval among all registered voters hit a new low of 44 percent, the lowest of any poll that uses people to survey voters.

The near-total loss of independents could prove catastrophic for Democrats if the trend holds through Election Day this year.

Democrats lost independents in off-year elections in New Jersey and Virginia, and most recently in Massachusetts last month, when the party lost Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat.

"The independents have become a problem," said Lee Miringoff, who conducted the poll. "They were his ticket to Washington, and now they're a problem."

Independents don't just disapprove of the job Obama is doing, they're tiring of him personally. His favorability rating among them is down to 39 percent, with a 59 percent unfavorable rating. ...

Maybe he doesn't want Biden in charge any more than we do.

Hi,

Resign???  Are you kidding me??

I feel he is so narcissic that he feels the public is so stupid that he just cannot explain his communist policies properly or in simple enough terms that we can understand them.  He has even mentioned that in some of his speeches...."I have not explained things properly".

Funny, but earlier today I thought about making a post that the president will never understand that 60% of the public oppose his health care plan......and likely it never dawned on him that maybe we do understand the plan and don't want any part of it.  I honestly wonder if he is capable of even thinking that way, much less understanding that.
