Gallup Survey Paints Grim Picture for the Obama Administration for Jobs and Unemployment

The Hill reports that a Gallup survey shows ‘sharp deterioration in job market’ in February. What, you mean the economy is not as good as Obama, his minions and the MSM would like you to believe? Obamanomics is hardly the answer no matter how much it is spun. Eventually, it catches up to you. When a President never seriously focuses on jobs in any kind of non-socialist, government intrusive manner … the chickens come home to roost.

The survey firm said seasonal factors — including job loss by seasonal workers hired over the holidays — could be responsible for the dip.

Regardless of what the government reports, Gallup’s unemployment and underemployment measures show a sharp deterioration in job market conditions since mid-January,” the firm said in a statement accompanying the release of the data.

Gallup also found that 10 percent of American workers have part-time positions despite wanting full-time work.

“The mid-February reading means the percentage of Americans who can only find part-time work remains close to its high since Gallup began measuring employment status in January 2010,” the polling firm said.

Rising gas prices and even doctored unemployment numbers on the rise as well. All this while the MSM Obama sycophants have been droning on for days about how his chances are improving. Not so fast … $4 to 5$ a gallon gas and and job market that is not even close to being as strong as what Obama and the MSM claim has an uncanny knack of lowering an incumbent President’s job approval rating.

Oh yea, and then there is Obamacare. You remember when Obama promised that it would lower the cost of health insurance premiums. Guess what, it does not. As reported at Gallup, ‘Health Costs, Gov’t Regulations Curb Small Business Hiring’.

Barack Obama has a Positive Approval Rating in Only Ten States … Major Trouble in Swing States

OUCH!!!

Gallup is reporting that President Barack Obama had an approval rating above 50% in only 10 states in 2011 and the District of Columbia. However, one might want to look at the ten states that “The One” has a greater than 50% approval rating. Liberal dark blue states like Hawaii, Massachusetts,  Maryland, New York, Vermont and Illinois are expected to be cake walks for the President; however, not one of them has an approval rating over 60%. California is only at 5.0%. YIKES!

On the other hand, states in which his approval rating was below 40% seem less likely to recover enough to allow Obama to claim their electoral votes this fall. Those states account for 153 electoral votes. All except New Hampshire voted for John McCain in 2008.

Thus, the key to Obama’s winning a second term lies in the states whose approval rating is in the 40% range, which account for the remaining 226 electoral votes and include traditional “swing states” such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Obama won the vast majority of these states in 2008.

Gallup and USA Today have identified 12 swing states that will be vitally important in this year’s election, and Obama’s job approval rating within those states ranges from 39% in New Hampshire to 48% in Michigan.

The NRO lists some swing states where Obama is underwater. This is hardly a position of strength to begin a reelection bid, especially when it is a terrible sign for an incumbent to be below 50%. In 2012 Obama cannot run on “hope & change”, he has to run on his record. A poor one to say the least.

Wisconsin: 47.4 percent.
Pennsylvania: 45 percent.
Virginia: 44.5 percent.
Oregon: 44.5 percent.
North Carolina: 43.7 percent.
Florida: 43.6 percent.
Ohio: 42.1 percent.
New Mexico: 41.7 percent.
Nevada: 41.3 percent.
Colorado: 40.4 percent.
New Hampshire: 38.7 percent

What does this tell us? Barack Obama is extremely vulnerable and there for the taking. Obama will run one of the most negative campaigns ever again whoever the GOP nominee is. The One can certainly not run on his record as in state after state, except the most blue ones, the American people disapprove of Barack Obama. And why not, Obama has been the most partisan, polarizing President for the first three years in office ever.

Barack Obama … One of the Most Polarizing President EVER … The Most Polarizing During Third Year in Office

Barack Obama sets another record … the most polarizing President ever during a third year in office. How does a polarizing President warrant 4 more years? 

According to a recent Gallup poll, Barack Obama is one of the most polarizing Presidents ever. Obama’s 68% polarization gap is the 4th highest rating dating back to the  Eisenhower administration.  Also, Obama’s 3rd year in office from 2011-2012 of 68% ranks as the highest of all time by 9 points. Wait until 2012-2013, an election year when the polarization numbers will get even worse. As stated at the Politco, Obama’s numbers are already high, they can only get worse in an election year. How does that lead to an Obama second term?

2011 Is Most Polarized Third Year by a Wide Margin

The 68-point gap between partisans’ approval ratings of Obama last year is nine points higher than that for any other president’s third year. George W. Bush had the previous high for a third year. The list of third-year averages underscores the point that the highly polarized ratings are a more recent phenomenon, with four of the last five presidents at the top of the list.

Let us not forget that Barack Obama promised he would be the first post-partisan President.

UPDATE I: For those on the LEFT who still can’t comprehend that Obama is the most polarizing President ever, it took Obama no time at all for him to be the most devisive President in history. For the GWB delusional syndrome challenged, answer the following questions. We already know that Obama is the most partisan President in the year of Presidency, however …

1. Who was the most partisan President ever in first year of Presidency?
2. Who was the most partisan President ever in second year of Presidency?

The answer to both, Barack Hussein Obama

Barack Obama Job Approval Poll Averages 44% in 3rd Year of Presidency … Only Jimmy Carter Was Worse

It would appear that Barack Obama was not the one that we had been waiting for, not by a long shot.

He’s going down, down, down, down … Barack Obama. The One is was at 69% approval on Inauguration Day, 57% in his first year, 47% in his second year and now … 44%.

According to Gallup, Obama’s job approval average for his third year in office was just 44%, second worst in history. Guess who was the worst, hold it, hold it … Jimmy Carter. That is correct, three years into his presidency and “The One” ha never been lower as Obama’s 44.4% polling average only tops Carter’s 37.4%. As we have said for quite some time, Obama’s presidency has been Carter’s second term.

President Barack Obama averaged 44% job approval for his third full year in office, which ended Jan. 19. His third-year average is down slightly from his second-year average of 47% and much lower than his first-year average of 57%.

Obama’s third-year average is based on approximately 175,000 interviews with U.S. adults conducted between Jan. 20, 2011 — the second anniversary of his inauguration — and Jan. 19, 2012.

Obama’s job approval rating during his third year in office had its ups and downs, peaking at 53% in May and falling as low as 38% in August and October.

As the Lonely Conservative says regarding Obama’s continuous low polling, they must all be racists. However, when a President promises hope & change and only provided no jobs, Obamacare, out of control spending, federal debt as far as the eye can see, what else would one suspect? That does not even include the partisan party politics Obama played by nixing the Keystone XL Pipeline that would have created the tens of thousands of US jobs and the expected high gas prices we will see in 2012.

RUT-ROH … Obama All Tied Up in Hypothetical Presidential Match Up with Mitt Romney and Ron Paul

RUT-ROH … Obama All Tied Up in Hypothetical Presidential Match Up with Mitt Romney and Ron Paul

So much for Barack Obama just having to worry about a head to head match up between himself and an unnamed Republican for the 2012 Presidential election. According to a recent CNN poll, Obama finds himself in a tie with GOP Presidential primary hopefuls Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. However, some wonder whether CNN is manipulating the polls again for for “Mittens”.

According to the survey, if the November election were held today and Romney were the Republican presidential nominee, 48% say they’d vote for the former Massachusetts governor, with 47% supporting the president. Romney’s one point margin is well within the poll’s sampling error.

The poll also indicates Paul statistically tied with Obama, with the president at 48% and the longtime congressman at 46%.

Meanwhile, in the race for the GOP nominee, Mitt Romney is up big nationally according to Gallup … 23 point lead. Looks like Romney is up big in Florida as well.
