Discussion: Poll: Obama Approval Rating Hits New Low, Spelling Trouble For Midterms

Discussion for article #222131

Well there goes Obama’s chances at a third term. Not to point out the obvious but, this is the only poll in recent weeks that has Obama dropping and not rising. So pardon me while I take it with a grain of salt like I do any single poll.

The wealthy old media and its digital clone, as lawless and perverted as Donald Sterling, is the problem…
See Pres and Ed Henry…

What else would I expect to see in such a right wing rag as the Washington Post?

This man has got to be THE most polled President of all time and NONE of these polls have ever questioned African-Americans and Latinos (you wonder why) and if it makes the so-called “liberal” media happy I expect him to get a ZERO by the times he’s done.

Geez at the exact same time frame, April 22, 2006 a CNN poll had George W. Bush at 32. On April 18-19, 2006 even a Fox News poll had Bush at 33%. Judging by that, Obama is clearly on track for Greatest President Ever.

Did ABC just poll in the south?? ABC has been a terrible pollster in 2012 and this year. Obamacare is going up in the south and than this bogus poll comes out. I am ashamed of ABC. They are becoming a biased republican pollster. I don’t believe this poll and neither should anyone else.

“Notably, the poll also found that 53 percent of voters said they’d prefer to see Republicans control Congress as a check on the President compared to 29 percent who said they’d rather have Democrats in charge to shore up the Obama administration’s policies.”

Well this is something new. Really! Republicans haven’t checked anything, they’ve actually blocked nearly everything! The current system has proven to be the single most effective obstruction to progress, yet these nimrods who were polled still think that it can work this way?!?

In some respects, satisfaction with president is a place-holder for satisfaction with material existence. In California, you now have a group of “last-droppers” ready to pump out the remaining usable groundwater left in the San Joaquin Valley. One and a half centuries of resource theft are now culminating in crisis. Anybody who has visited the Salton Sea, a creation of an irrigation accident, knows what the arid, salty future of Central Valley farming could look like and the precipitous effects on real estate prices. This summer looks to be a tough one for California agriculture. Another 10 cubic kilometers of overdraw, even as some members of Congress pretend they won’t eventually have to start adapting to changed climatic circumstances.

Here’s a quick primer on what could be the surprise theme of the summer.

Am completely over this constant polling…Two weeks ago it was something different…And the writer always goes with the salacious without drilling down to all the numbers and reporting across the board…Journalist and news outlets have gotten lazy…Very few REPORT anymore!

None of this means squat but to the agenda driven bobbleheads and screamers!

Can we wait till the campaign starts? If Republicans have anything positive to run on, I don’t know what it is.

Certainly an outlier. This Tuesday’s Rasmussen poll which incudes 3,000 responders has Obama’s approval rating at 48%. Rasmussen is certainly not a liberal leaning pollster.

I wonder when we start doing polls about polls. The media certainly wasn’t this obsessed with polls during the Bush administration. We get poll numbers daily from one source or another and it is reaching a point where nobody cares.

Good thing Wingnutistan disregards a librul polls and sticks only with the true Conservative standard bearer, the Mighty Ras, which btw, has Obama at 48-51 – The SAME as he was on March 28 (actually +1) and the SAME as he was on Feb 28, Jan 28, and Dec 28.
