President Barack Obama Just Hit New All-Time Job Approval Low of 36%
The wheels have completely come off the bus … Barack Obama has Fallen and he can’t get up.
President Barack Obama has hit a new all-time low jobs approval of 36%, while 56% disapprove, according to a new poll from Economist/YouGov. The American public has lost complete confidence in Obama. Only 30% strongly or some what approve of how he is handling the economy. In fact, as stated at The Hill, 56% believe that Obama’s policies have hurt the middle class.So much for Obama, the middle class warrior.
As has been the case in previous polls showing the president’s slipping approval, Americans seem frustrated primarily in a souring economy. Only 30 percent of Americans strongly or somewhat approve of the president’s handling of the issue. Fifity percent of Americans believe that the policies of the Obama Administration have hurt the economy, and 53 percent say that they have hurt the middle class.
In poll after poll after poll, Barack Obama’s approval numbers are crashing to earth as if we were watching a reenactment of the Hindenburg disaster. Or is Obama looking to make a sequel of Titanic? Following Obama’s jobs speech in front of a joint session of Congress and his subsequent sell job, Obama’s polling numbers have continued to fall.
Great question from Doug Powers at Michelle Malkin and asking whether Wolf Blitzer and CNN will trumpet the Obama 36% new low like they did that of President George W. Bush? We should not gold our breath from the Obama run media, who if did not continue to prop up this failure of a President, his approval ratings would be in the 20′s, if not the teens. Oh the hypocrisy.
Is it 2012 yet?

Will He or Won’t He … NJ Gov. Chris Christie Reconsidering a 2012 Presidential Run?
Might NJ Governor Chris Christie run after all?
Chris Christie, the outspoken Republican New Jersey Governor has stated in the past that he would not run for President in 2012. However, according to Newsmax, Christie might just be reconsidering his decision not to enter the 2012 presidential race as they report that the NJ Governor will let top Republican donors know soon. After so many “no’s”, pundits are still floating his name. Then again, there are others that are denying the report and state nothing has changed with Christie.
During the past few weeks, several leading Republican donors and fundraisers have been urging the popular Republican governor to reconsider his decision not to run and to enter the GOP primary.
These Christie supporters note that significant GOP support has remained on the sidelines of the primary fight. Many leading fundraisers have yet to commit to any current primary contender, including frontrunners Rick Perry and Mitt Romney.
Newsmax has learned that the effort to draft Christie culminated in a hush-hush powwow held in the past week with Christie and several notable Republican billionaires.
Christie entering the GOP primary, that would certainly shake up the mix. Earlier this week at an event at Rider College in NJ, Christie commented that the current GOP candidates are not answering the public’s appetite for real leadership.
“I think what the country is thirsting for, more than anything else right now, is someone of stature and credibility to tell them that and say, ‘Here’s where I want us to go to deal with this crisis,’” Christie said.
Christie continued: “The fact that nobody yet who’s running for president, in my view, has done that effectively is why you continue to hear people ask Daniels if he’ll reconsider and ask me if I’ll reconsider.”
What a splash Christie would make if he did decide to run. Many thought that when Texas Governor Rick Perry entered the race, he would fill the void of what GOP voters were looking for. Frankly, Perry’s position on illegal immigration is a disaster and he has been underwhelming in the debates. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is looked upon as being to contrived and too much of a politician … Chris Christie would be a breath of fresh air, would never be at a loss for words and would never beat around the bush.

Mitt Romney Holds Big Lead in New Hampshire GOP Primary … Not that Unexpected
According to a recent Rasmussen poll, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney holds a hug lead in New Hampshire.Romney holds a 39% leads of distant second place Texas Governor Rick Perry with just 18%. This is similar to other polls that have been released recently; however, what would one really expect? Romney has to win NH big, otherwise he might as well drop out of the race. Having been the governor of a fellow adjacent New England state, the real question might be how come Romney does not have a greater lead?
Romney earns 39% of the vote in Rasmussen Reports’ first telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary Voters in New Hampshire in the Election 2012 campaign season. Texas Governor Rick Perry is a distant second with 18% support, followed by Texas Congressman Ron Paul at 13%. The other announced GOP candidates are all in single digits. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) more are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Previous GOP winners of the NH primary, how well did the winner do in the general election, let alone get the nomination?
- 2008: John McCain
- 200: John McCain
