President Barack Obama Hits New Low in Gallup Poll: 38% Approval … Obama’s September Approval Rating Remains at Term Low 41%
The more President Barack Obama whines about passing his so-called jobs bill, the more his approval rating continues to go down. According to the most recent Gallup poll, Obama is now at a 38% job approval. The Presidents approval rating has continuously been on the downward slide, it is almost impossible to miss the trend. Democrats like to use the comparison of Reagan and Clinton who had low poll ratings in their first term and later went on to win reelections. However, there is one important difference that they fail to mention, Reagan and Clinton were trending up … not down.
Obama Job Approval: Any one sense a trend?
Adding more to Obama’s polling woes, the President’s September approval ratings one for the records books, a term low of 41%. As seen by the below chart, Obama has serious problems with Independents, the very people who voted him into office, will note him out in 2012.

Support for President Barack Obama from Jews Slipping Fast … What’s in Store for 2012 Election?
As if we needed a poll to figure out that President Barack Obama’s support among Jews was tanking following the disastrous Democrat loss of Congressional NY-9 this week. Now a Gallup poll shows that Obama’s support among Jews is slipping badly. Four in ten Jews now disapprove of Obama. What does this polling trend have in store for the 2012 elections and states/districts that have a large Jewish population?
President Barack Obama’s support among Jews has dropped, new data shows.
Four out of 10 Jewish Americans currently disapprove of Obama, according to polling data provided to POLITICO by Gallup, which has yet to post the numbers on its website.
This 40 percent disapproval rating is 8 percent higher than the 32 percent disapproval rating among Jewish Americans that was last reported by Gallup in June.
While Obama still remains popular with Jews, the data, from a poll conducted Aug. 1-Sept.14, is the latest concrete indication that the president is facing worsening problems among a key group.
But Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the other Democrat mouth pieces will tell you that Weprin’s loss in NY-9 was an anomaly. It was just a difficult district for Democrats to win, even though they had not done so since the 1920′s.
EXIT QUESTION: Obama now finds himself in trouble with Jews, what demographic isn’t Obama having trouble with? Barack Obama won 77% of the Jewish vote in 2008, now down 13% since May 2011. What will this support look like in 2012?
- Obama polling trouble with Whites, Blacks and Hispanics
- Obama polling trouble with those he carried in 2008 election.
- Start with voters who call themselves independents. Obama won 52 percent of them in 2008; now, according to Gallup, he is at 42 percent.Obama’s party as a whole fared even worse among independents in the midterms, losing them to Republicans by 19 points.
- Next, women. In 2008, Obama won 56 percent of female voters. Today, he’s at 49 percent.
- Even younger voters, a key part of Obama’s coalition, are peeling away. In ’08, Obama won 66 percent of voters 18-29 years of age. Now, he’s at 58 percent.
- Obama has dropped 5 percentage points among voters in and around middle age, and 8 percent with voters above 65.

President Barack Obama back in the 30′s for Job Approval … Doesn’t Look Like America Loves Obama … Initial Jobless Claims Up Again
Back where he belongs …
Following President Barack Obama’s jobs speech and his subsequent attempt to sell his jobs plan … “We the People” are not buying. According to the most recent Gallup job approval poll, Obama is back to 39%, with a 53% disapproval.
It would appear that a majority of America does not love Barack Obama. In fact, with a job approval rating in the 30′s, one would think that Americans want to toss Obama to the curb. However, not only are there Republicans who reject Obama’s jobs bill in Congress, there are many Democrats who do as well.
Obama is an epic failure as one again this week there was an 11,000 increase in first time jobless claims to 428,000, far exceeding analysts predictions. Why is it unexpected under this President?
In the week ending September 10, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 428,000, an increase of 11,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 417,000. The 4-week moving average was 419,500, an increase of 4,000 from the previous week’s revised average of 415,500.
Barack Obama says, “if ya love me then help me pass the jobs bill. ” Doesn’t that speak volumes about Obama, the “ME” and “I” President. If you love Obama pass his bill, but if you love the American economy and want to gain jobs, don’t. If you love America, vote him out of office in 2012.
What Obama was really saying, or should we say begging … “If you love me, please, please please, vote for me because I have done nothing but destroy jobs, the economy and the American way of life.”

President Obama Sinks to All-Time Polling Lows With Whites, Blacks and Hispanics
My what a difference an Obama first term makes …
Obama is in serious polling trouble, The One is even having polling issues with Blacks and Hispanics. President Obama is at all-time lows in job approval lows with Whites, Blacks and Hispanics. Yikes, Blacks and Hispanics again souring on Obama, would they be considered racists too? According to the most recent Gallup poll, Obama only garners 33% of Whites, 48% of Hispanics and 84% of Blacks. The 2012 Presidential reelection just got more difficult for President Zero.
President Barack Obama earned the lowest monthly job approval rating of his presidency to date in August, with 41% of U.S. adults approving of his overall job performance, down from 44% in July. He also received term-low monthly job approval ratings from both Hispanics (48%) and whites (33%) and tied his lowest rating from blacks (84%).
Blacks have remained solidly approving of Obama throughout his presidency; however, 2011 is the first year this group’s monthly job approval has routinely registered below 90%, indicating a decline in blacks’ support, albeit a fairly minor one.
The president’s current standing with Hispanics reflects a rather steep decline since January, when 60% approved of him. This follows Hispanics’ less-pronounced drops in their support in each of the first two years of his presidency. As a result, the gap between blacks and whites in Obama’s job approval has been widening while the gap between Hispanics’ and whites’ approval has been narrowing.
How bad is it for Obama when he can only get 84% of Blacks and a paltry 48% of the Hispanic vote? In the 2008 Presidential election, Barack Obama got 95% of the Black vote, 67% of the Latino vote and 43% of the White vote. Does anyone wonder why the President has had a complete poll collapse and would be hard pressed to get a second term. Obama is down 11% with Blacks and 19% with Hispanics. Just curious, does that make them racist for opposing Obama? The Democrats and Obama may not have to worry about the Tea Party, they may find their biggest problem is getting Blacks and Hispanics out to vote and if they do vote, actually cast a ballot for Obama. Presently in the Gallup poll, Obama has a 42% approval and 50% disapproval rating.
With Barack Obama sinking in the polls with Hispanics as compared to the 2008 vote, imagine how Hispanics would vote if the GOP put US Senator Marco Rubio or another candidate attractive to the Latino vote on the ticket as VP?

CNN/ORC International Poll Has Texas Governor Rick Perry in Front … Lead Over Romney To 13 Points, 27% – 14%
Another poll and another lead for Texas Governor Rick Perry. According to a CNN/ORC International Poll of Republicans and independent voters has Texas Governor way out ahead of the GOP Presidential challengers. With 27% of the vote, Perry nearly doubles second place former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
According to a CNN/ORC International Poll of Republicans and independent voters who lean towards the GOP, Perry now sits atop the list of Republican presidential candidates, with strong support from most demographic groups.
The survey, released Monday, indicates that 27 percent of Republicans nationwide support Perry for their party’s nomination, with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who’s making his second bid for the White House, at 14 percent. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin follows at ten percent, with Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani at nine percent, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who’s making his third bid for the presidency, at six percent. Every one else listed on the questionnaire registered in the low single digits.
One poll is just a poll, two is interesting, three is a trend. The CNN poll follows two other polls, Gallup and Rasmussen, that have GOP Presidential challenger Rick Perry way out ahead of his fellow Republicans. Add the Magellan poll as well.
So why has Rick Perry vaulted to the top of the GOP list? It’s not that he is just the flavor of the month, even after being attacked by Democrats and the MSM, he has shown that he has staying power. Maybe his appeal is because many Americans believe that Washington, DC should be made inconsequential. Maybe its also because Americans know that a President should have executive leadership skills, have successfully run a state and created jobs. Something that the incumbent Obama has failed to do.
Rick Perry, a successful governor of a large southern state that did not create any form of Obama-Romney care … he is Obama’s worst nightmare.
