RSSConservatives Remain Largest Ideological Voting Group in the United States
The following is an interesting poll from Gallup and cannot make the Barack Obama White House happy. After all the talk about Republicans voting less in primaries and more people becoming independent … Conservatives remain the largest ideological voting block in the United States.
Even when one looks at the break out of Independents, 36% consider themselves very conservative or conservative, while only 19% consider themselves very liberal or liberal.

Gallup: Barack Obama Job Approval Back to 50% Disapproval
Same as it ever was … Obama is back where he started.
Eventually, what goes up must come down as water and Barack Obama’s job approval rating seeks its own level. Obama’s job approval numbers are one again as the Kinks sang, “back were they started.” As per the most recent Gallup poll, Obama finds his job approval at 50% disapproval and only a 42% approval rating.
At Real Clear Politics, Obama finds his job approval polling underwater in the averaging of polls at 44.5% approval and 50.3 disapproval. This is after so called better economic news with the unemployment rate falling to 8.5%. Why? Intelligent Americans know that the unemployment rate is far worse, gas prices rising and the debt still out of control. Two in one Americans fear the reelection of Barack Obama, and so they should.

Americans see President Obama as the Farthest Candidate from Them Ideologically Including All Republicans
Barack Obama … the most out of touch candidate for American ideology …
According to a recent Gallup poll should cause yet more concern for President Barack Obama for the 2012 elections. Americans see Obama as the farthest candidate from them ideologically than any of the GOP primary candidates. Should this really come as a surprise as Barack Obama is the most liberal and polarizing President ever elected. Although many Americans are not not sure of some of the Republican candidates, they have had three years to figure out exactly what Obama’s ideology is. 57% consider Obama vet liberal/liberal, while 15% polled were smoking crack stating that Obama was very conservative/conservative. If Obama has not yet convinced America that he is not “very liberal” at this point, it is a lost cause. America knows exactly what Barack Obama is and stands for, there is no fooling the public like 2008.
What should further trouble Obama is that Independents consider Obama the farthest away from their ideology as well. As for Republicans, enough said. However, just how out of touch are Democrats with the main stream of society? They think Barack Obama is spot on with their ideology.
This is coupled with other polling data showing Obama loses a hypothetical match up with Mitt Romney 45% to 39%.
UPDATE I: Barack Obama’s job approval rating back down to 41% approval – 50% disapproval as per Gallup!

Gallup Poll: Most Americans Still Say They Are Better Off Than Their Parents … Might Want to Check Out that $15+ Trillion Debt
REALLY? SOME MAY WANT TO TAKE A BETTER LOOK AT THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES …
A recent Gallup poll showed that most Americans still say they are better off than their parents. REALLY? 69% of those polled said that they were better off than their parents, 29% said, not so much. Unless you are comparing your parents who lived during The Great Depression or the Carter 1970′s, the poll results are a bit hard to believe. Heck, many are not better off than I was in my mid to late 20′s. Of course those making more $’s say they are better off; however, I really wonder how much the younger folks in this survey understand the debt they owe in the future. They might be singing a different tune.
High-income Americans are significantly more likely than those with lower incomes to say they are doing better financially than their parents were when they were the same age. Still, even a majority of lower-income Americans say they are better off financially than their parents were.
Maybe Gallup should have polled the 1 year old to 10 year old demographic and the unborn who will be responsible for paying off the out of control $15 trillion (DEBT CLOCK), every growing debt run up by those who state they are better off then their parents! With this present economy, the number of unemployed, records number of food stamps, poor housing market, energy costs and the out of control federal debt, it is hard to believe how individuals think they are better off than their parents.
The fact that you have less liberties today than your parents did automatically makes you less better off than your parents.
Oh but wait according to ABC News, seniors will get an increase of $38 a month. BIG WOOP! Reason why there is an increase … inflation is on the rise.

Barack Obama Heads into the Holidays with a 44% Job Approval Rating
MERRY CHRISTMAS
According to the most recent Gallup poll, President Barack Obama has a 44% approval rating as he vets off to Hawaii for his $4 million vacation. Meanwhile 48% disapprove of the job that Obama is doing. Also as per a recent Rasmussen poll, only 9% of Americans rate the economy as good or excellent. Maybe in the New year Obama will show more of his inner laziness to the American people and have the economy flounder even more. I am guessing more golf on the Obama agenda for 2012.
