RSSPresident Barack Obama’s Approval Rating Hits New Low of 41% … Obama’s Approval Rating in the Ditch
Obama closing in on an approval rating in the 30′s … It would appear that it is Obama’s approval ratings that are in the ditch.
Obama’s approval ratings in the ditch
And so it begins … with less than a week before the 2010 midterm election, President Barack Hussein Obama’s approval rating has hit an all-time low of 41%. According to the most recent Fox News Opinion Dynamic poll, Obama has a 41% approval rating and a 50% disapproval. Also, two-thirdsof Americans are dissatisfied with the way things are going in America. Can you say the avalanche is gaining momentum?
Two-thirds of voters are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country today, and more than not think Barack Obama’s presidency has made the country weaker (45 percent) rather than stronger (37 percent).
The president’s job approval among registered voters is currently 41 percent, a record low. This compares to 43 percent in mid-October and 46 percent in early September. Half disapprove of Obama’s performance. Among likely voters, negative sentiment is even stronger: 40 percent approve and 55 percent disapprove.
Frustrations are high. Most voters feel dissatisfied (51 percent) or even angry (25 percent) about the way the federal government is working. Just one in five is satisfied (22 percent), while 2 percent are enthusiastic. Angry voters are backing the Republican candidate by a 65-point margin.
The “PERFECT STORM” is beginning to form just days before the November 2, 2010 midterm elections. Barack Obama’s job approval numbers are cratering, the Congressional Generic Ballot greatly favors the GOP, and the enthusiasm gap still greatly favors the Republican party. It would appear that Obama’s poll numbers are in complete melt down.
The new poll finds if the election were held today, 50 percent of likely voters would favor the Republican candidate in their House district and 37 percent the Democratic candidate, with 10 percent still undecided.
When it comes to enthusiasm, more Republicans (76 percent) than Democrats (65 percent) are extremely or very interested in the elections, and more Republicans (91 percent) than Democrats (83 percent) plan to vote for their party’s candidate.
Rasmussen has thePresidental Daily Approval Index at -17. Add to the mix that the electorate is looking more Republican in 2010 than previous midterm elections.
Gallup’s latest figures on the composition of the 2010 electorate suggest that, consistent with an earlier Gallup report, those voting in this year’s congressional elections across the country will be similar in gender, age, and education to 2006 voters. At the same time, they will be substantially more Republican in their party orientation, and more conservative than has been the case in the past several midterms.
The tidal wave is gaining momentum and no pundit knows what the crest might look like. It is a given that Republicans will gain at least 39 to 45 seats; however, even political experts like Charlie Cook of the Cook Political Report do not know what the ceiling might look like in this wave election.

Who is going to take the keys away from Obama and his job approval ratings? I guess his poor job approval numbers are GWB’s fault to?

I cannot control Fox News Polling. You have to remember that there are fool moonbats out there that would say he’s doing a good job no matter what.
