Obama Job Approval Numbers tank to 42% in Rasmussen Poll, Enthusiasm Drops Among Dems as Well

Barack Obama polling … the train wreck continues.

President Barack Hussein Obama’s job approval numbers are in free fall. Is it any wonder after Obama’s lackluster and lack of Presidential leadership displayed the other night as The One spoke from the Oval Office? Obama claimed that he was in charge; however, nothing in his speech pointed to any thing of the sort. Obama’s job approval numbers have hit the skids in the Rasmussen Report as The One has a 42% approval, 57% disapproval and a Daily Presidental Tracking Index of -20.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20 (see trends).

Forty-eight percent (48%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 75% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 12% Strongly Approve and 52% Strongly Disapprove.

Heading into the BP oil speech from the Oval Office, Obama’s numbers were less than stellar when it came to voters opinions on how he had handled the crisis. Can one only imagine how bad his polling will be in the aftermath of his weak, leaderless, pointless, rudderless and lack of Presidential control speech? With comparisons to former President Jimmy “Misery Index” Carter, this is hardly the image that Obama and Democrats were looking for heading into this November’s midterm election.

Barack Obama Down to 45% Approval in Rasmussen Poll … PPP: More People Think GWB Did Better Job with Katrina than Obama with Oil Spill

How low can he go?

If Obama’s handing of his first year and a half in office was not bad enough between the economy, unemployment, record budget deficits, no job creation, continued government spending and Obamacare … now he is faced with the image that the American people have that he has no leadership skills with the BP oil spill crisis.

According to the latestRasmusseen poll, President Barack Hussein Obama is at a 45% approval and a 54% disapproval rating. Only 24% of American voters strongly approve of the jobs that  Obama is doing. How is that “Hopey, Changey” thing working out for you America?

Now comes the most damning poll for Obama in some time. For Barack Hussein Obama his entire presidency has been based on the premise that it’s George W. Bush’s fault. Obama has made it a cottage industry to blame Bush for everything while provide no leadership to issues. Enter, the Left leaning PPP poll and a doozy of an analysis and commentary on Barack Obama. Imagine this, according to Public Policy Polling, more Louisiana folks think that GWB did a better job handling Hurricane Katrina than Barack Obama has done with the BP Oil spill. OUCH, THAT’S GOING TO LEAVE A MARK!

LET US REPEAT THAT FOR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT, MORE PEOPLE THINK GWB DID A BETTER JOB OF HANDLING HURRICANE KATRINA THAN OBAMA HAS WITH THE BP OIL SPILL.

Full polling results HERE.

Our new Louisiana poll has a lot of data points to show how unhappy voters in the state are with Barack Obama’s handling of the oil spill but one perhaps sums it up better than anything else- a majority of voters there think George W. Bush did a better job with Katrina than Obama’s done dealing with the spill.

50% of voters in the state, even including 31% of Democrats, give Bush higher marks on that question compared to 35% who pick Obama.

Overall only 32% of Louisianans approve of how Obama has handled the spill to 62% who disapprove. 34% of those polled say they approved of how Bush dealt with Katrina to 58% who disapproved.

For those polled, Obama’s actions have gone from bad to worse. Not obly has Obama shown a complete inability to lead and grasp the importance and severity of the issue, The One has made matters even worse by putting a moratorium on platform offshore drilling that is causing even further economic devastation to an area already in crisis.

One thing the oil spill has not done is created a spike of opposition to offshore drilling in Louisiana. 77% of voters still support it with only 12% against. Only 31% say the spill has made them less inclined to be in favor of drilling while 42% say it hasn’t made a difference to them and 28% say they’re now stronger in their support.

Maybe Barack Obama can go play a round of golf and think about the BP oil crisis in the Gulf some more. Look for Obama’s avergae job approval polling mumbers ar RCP to go into the red.

They Said What!!! MSNBC Trashes Obama BP Oil Spill Speech, Compares to Carter … “I Don’t Sense Executive Command”

TALK ABOUT LOST IN SMALLNESS …

This was supposed to be President Barack Hussein Obama’s most important speech of his presidency to date … instead it was a microcasm of his leadership with the BP oil spill crisis, an EPIC FAILURE.

Of all networks, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann blasted Barack Obama’s speech. Absolutely trashed it. When MSNBC brutalizes your speech, one that was supposed to be the most important of his presidency … OBAMA YOU GOT A PROBLEM!It would appear that Matthews and Olbermann have lost that Obama luvin feeling. Obama has become what many thought prior to the 2008 election, inexperienced, underwhelming and in over his head. Obama and Carter are now becoming interchangeable words.

“It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days.”

From Real Clear Politics, transcript of comments”

Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman react to President Obama’s Oval Office Address on the oil spill. Here are the highlights of what the trio said:

Olbermann: “It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days.”

Matthews compared Obama to Carter.

Olbermann: “Nothing specific at all was said.”

Matthews: “No direction.”

Howard Fineman: “He wasn’t specific enough.”

Olbermann: “I don’t think he aimed low, I don’t think he aimed at all. It’s startling.”

Dumb and Dumber, First Obama Compares BP Oil Spill to 911, Then Goes Golfing

More profiles in Leadership … Obama compares the Gulf oil crisis to 911.

ARE YOU SERIOUS … and the LEFT called GWB stupid? Welcome to “Dumb and Dumber, the Obama edition”. This President just cannot differentiate between Gulf and Golf.

Yesterday, President Barack Hussein Obama told the POLITICO that the Gulf Coast BP oil spill disaster was like 911. You heard that correct, Obama compared a oil spill, ecological accident to a premeditated terrorist act like September 11, 2001. I wonder how the families who lost loved ones on 9-11 feel about the President’s ridiculous comparison? Is it any wonder why Obama’s ratings are falling in the polls, he can get nothing right.

Sounding reflective as he heads into a bruising electoral season, President Barack Obama told POLITICO columnist Roger Simon that the Gulf disaster “echoes 9/11” because it will change the nation’s psyche for years to come.

“In the same way that our view of our vulnerabilities and our foreign policy was shaped profoundly by 9/11,” the president said in an Oval Office interview on Friday, “I think this disaster is going to shape how we think about the environment and energy for many years to come.”

What Gulf crisis, it’s a golf crisis

So in other words, Obama wants to take advantage of this oil spill accident to push his socialist, Marxist, liberal agenda. Far be it from this President to let a good crisis to go to waste when he can push his socialist agenda of “Cap & Trade”.

BUT WAIT, IT GETS BETTER … OR SHOULD WE SAY WORSE.

Barack Obama so thinks about the BP oil spill and the Gulf crisis all the time, he takes up every waking moment of his time, it is so important to President Obama that what important thing do he do yesterday … PLAYED GOLF!!!

Who advises this clown? Seriously, the LEFT for eight years made a cottage industry out of calling GWB a fool. As reported at The Hill, Obama played golf for 4 hours. Thank you Mr. President for being so engaged and on it. Do you think at some point you could show the American people you actually care, rather than just spewing words in a speech read off a teleprompter? Is it any wonder why Americans give Obama a failing grade in dealing with the BP oil crisis, first he compares it to 9-11 then goes golfing … President Obama, “Lost in Smallness”.

President Barack Obama spent four hours on the golf course Sunday in temperatures that peaked in the low 90s.

The White House pool reported that they left Andrews Air Force Base as it started to rain after 4 p.m.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood was among the group golfing with Obama.

Americans really need to ask the question, not whether you were born in the United States, but what planet you are from as obviously you have no sense of reality.

Gee Barack Obama, except for the fact that September 11 was a preplanned and premeditated attack against the United States of America where 3000 innocent people lost their lives orchestrated by terrorists who wanted to destroy the American way of life … other than that sir, it is just like the BP oil spill. UNREAL.

No one expects this President to suck the oil up with a straw, they just don’t expect Obama to suck as a leader. Mayeb if you spent less time on a golf course you would have a better result in the Gulf coast.

Profiles in Leadership … President Obama Skipped Mississippi Gulf Memorial Service to Attend Fundraiser for Barbara Boxer

Barack Hussein Obama, the (fill in the blank) ________ in Chief looks like he might need to kick his own “ASS”.

Talk about a lack of leadership and an I do not care attitude. Normally we refer to these Obama moments as “lost in smallness;” however, in this case he is not lost … he is AWOL!

Miss a fund raiser for a memorial service, are you crazy …next thing Americans will expect me to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetary on Memorial Day.

More Barack Obama ”Change” you can believe in.  We have been told that Obama’s on it and Obama thinks about the BP Gulf oil spill morning, noon and night. Barack Hussein Obama has had his people on the pol spill crisis since day one and Obama is in charge. The real question appears to be not if his daughters have asked him if he has plugged the hole daddy, but rather what fund raiser he has gone to, instead.
