Poll: Americans losing confidence in Obama

By: Pam On: Aug/21/09 - 9 Comments

As Allahpundit said “I remember back in the day when “Zogby” used to be a curse word among conservative bloggers. Change:”

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…

Of greatest concern to Obama may well be his decline among all-important independent voters. Just 37.5 percent of self-identified independents say they approve of how Obama is handling the presidency. That compares with 59.2 percent of independents who disapprove…

Continued evidence of declining popularity there will ratchet up the pressure on congressional blue dogs and other conservative Democrats to go their own way on controversial proposals such as public-option healthcare and energy cap-and-trade, knowing they can’t rely on presidential coattails to prop them up with voters.

The lower they go, the more pressure there is on Blue Dogs to kill the bill. Make sure they know it.

    At least they are pulling their heads out; that’s progress. Now will they do something to correct their mistake? Can we correct the damage the Obamanation has done to America?

    I have been following politics for ~40 yrs, a small part of the timeline of American politics, but I have seen plenty of liars, hypocrites, degenerates, and overall vermin.
    But I can honestly say I have never seen a worse combination between Congress and the Administration than we have now. In years past they would try to further their agenda, then when the light of scrutiny shown on them, they would run like cockroaches. Now, when the light shines on them, this current bunch of roaches gives us the finger.
    They know what’s best for you, they’re smarter than you, they are your boss. You don’t understand the bill? You don’t need to; just shut up and go back to work. You don’t like it? Too bad, you don’t have a say. They don’t want your input, they don’t need it. What, you insist on stating your opinion? You’re a nazi, a troublemaker, a domestic terrorist!
    According to the precedent they have set, the people no longer have a voice in Government.  There’s a war on, and it is for the soul of America. These filthy vermin, these cockroaches, these scoundrels  now running the Country need to be scorned, derided, then driven from office. They are the lowest form of political scum America has ever seen.
    You wanted change, you idiots that voted for them? Bend over and grab your ankles, you got it.

       Yes it would be funny if it wern’t so tragic, Liberals calling us Nazi’s.  Nazism is just like Communism, and radical Islamicism, Totalitarianism. If any body is like the Nazi’s its the Libbies.
       The Obamination people wanted change?   In 1917 people in Russia wanted change and o boy did they get it, in 1932 people in Germany wanted change, they got it all right. 1947 China? change again.  It is getting closer to the time when people in America are going to have to do as the brave men in 1776, and rise up.  If we don’t soon, there will be no free America left by 2012, when we can constitutionally remove the cancer that is destroying America.

    This is absolutely not true! We respect and admire and support the President! Anyone who says the great majority does not lies and is a pawn of Rove/Cheney/Halliburton! Faux “News”! Of course there are malcontents and domestic terrorists who are upset now that their corporate polluting puppets are no longer in control. And they’re mad, real mad. But don’t for one minute think the great majority, like 90% love, admire, and fully support the President and his agenda.
    He has fulfilled or is trying to fulfill every promise he made during his campaign! He promised to take over failing, corruption-ridden corporations and he’s done so! He promised to fight for the average person, and he’s doing it! He promised to end corruption and lobbyist cronyism, and the Republican culture of corruption is on the run!
