Gallup Poll: Barack Obama, the Incredible Shrinking Job Approval President … Disapproval Rating Hits All-Time High of 55%

The Incredible Shrinking Job Approval President …

The latest Gallup poll has Barack Obama at a 55% job disapproval rating, the all-time highest of his presidency. His approval job approval rating, a mere 38%.OUCH!!! What is most damning for Obama is that many individuals still blame Bush for the economy. The closer we get to the 2012 Presidential election, the campaign for the White House and the continued poor economy, the more Obama will be held responsible.

“Don’t they know it’s Bush’s fault”

Barack Obama’s average job approval at RCP is an incredible 43.6% approve and 52.8% disapproval (-9.2%).

Recently Obama was given an all time low mark of 29% approval in a Rasmussen poll in handling the economy. Why is Obama’s numbers sinking faster than the Titanic, only 14% think the country is headed in the right direction. The rule of thumb for an incumbent is that they are in trouble if their polling numbers are under 50%. What does it mean when you’re approval rating is 38% and disapproval is 55%? That is hardly the polling numbers of a reelectable President.

Barack Obama has stated in the past that he realizes that he expects to be judged on the economy in the 2012 election. How then does The One expect to be nothing more than a failed One term President? At what point is the Democrat party going to build a fire line to try and save the Senate, knowing that the Presidency is gone?

Texas Governor Rick Perry Surges into the Lead in Latest Gallup Poll

Texas Governor Rick Perry to the head of the pack …

The latest Gallup poll has Texas Governor Rick Perry surging into the lead in the GOP race for the Republican nomination for president with 29%. Similar to last weeks Rasmussen poll, Rick Perry has a double digit lead in Gallup, far outpacing Mitt Romney 17%, Ron Paul at 13% and Michele Bachmann at 10%.  The American Spectator has some nice geographic analysis.

Perry crushes Romney in the South 39 percent to 12 percent while trailing the former Massachusetts governor by just one point in the East. Perry has also taken a toll on Bachmann, who does no better than tying Paul in any region of the country and trails all three of them in the Midwest, even though that’s where she does best. Perry also beats Romney 33 percent to 16 percent among conservatives, while Romney has a single-digit lead among moderate to liberal Republicans.

Perry seems to have traction in the polling since he entered the GOP race on August 13. Quite interesting how well the Texan polled in the East against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Interesting indeed, don’t mess with Texas.

Holy Cow Batman!!! Barack Obama Daily Presidential Index at -26 … Gallup Poll: Obama 38% Job Approval Rating

President Barack Obama’s polling numbers continue to get worse, if possible.

According to the most recent Rasmussen Daily Presidential Index, Barack Obama’s rating has plunged to an all-time low of 26. As per today’s data, only 19% strongly approve  of Obama’s handling of his job, while 45% strongly disapprove.  For the 15th day in a row, Obama has had a negative 20 or greater Presidential index.  Frankly, I am still trying to figure out who the 19% are, did they poll that many of Barack’s family?

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 19% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -26 (see trends).

This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama. The previous low was -24 reached yesterday and also in September 2010. Additionally, the level of Strong Approval matches the lowest yet recorded. By way of comparison, President Bush had ratings near the end of his second term in the minus 30s.

Its gets worse … Barack Obama has a 38% job approval rating in the latest Gallup poll. Can you say, that’s going to leave a mark? A whopping 54% disapprove of The One’s handing of his job. Looks like it is not just the housing market that is underwater, so is Obama’s job approval at an amazing -16%. The average polling data at Real Clear Politics has Obama at -7.5; however, it seems as if the bottom support has dropped out of Obama’s numbers and look for other polls that are generally favorable to Obama like the WAPO and Marist to follow.

Some one on the LEFT want to tell us how Obama wins in 2012? Barack might as well stay on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard as his presidency is toast. Remember just recently when Obama said, “I understand that and I expect to be judged on the economy in 2012?. YA THINK!!!

More Polling Trouble for Obama … Loses to Romney and Tied with Perry in Gallup Poll

What Barack Obama did on his summer vacation, played golf, went to Martha’s Vineyard and saw his polling numbers completely collapse.

More bad polling data for President Barack Obama. The latest Gallup poll in a hypothetical match up between GOP contenders has Obama losing to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Obama tied with current Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Obama within the margin of error with US Reps. Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann. Making matters worse, Obama loses Independents to all contenders except Bachmann. Making matters even more worse than that, the incumbent President does not poll at 50% or above against any challenger. In a dead heat against a challenger when the incumbent polls below 50% … the incumbent loses.

President Barack Obama is closely matched against each of four possible Republican opponents when registered voters are asked whom they would support if the 2012 presidential election were held today. Mitt Romney leads Obama by two percentage points, 48% to 46%, Rick Perry and Obama are tied at 47%, and Obama edges out Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann by two and four points, respectively.

Is it that shocking that Obama is viewed in such a bad light? Not at all. Not when Obama has a job approval in the low 40′s and an economic job approval rating in the 20′s.

Gallup Poll: Barack Obama Down 36% Among Hispanics and Overall Job Approval at 40%

YET ANOTHER DEMOGRAPHIC THAT OBAMA IS POLLING POORLY WITH …

There is a reason why President Barack Obama has a 40% jobs approval rating, while 53% disapprove of the way “The One” has handled the his job as president. According to CNS News, Obama has dropped 36% among Hispanics Americans since 2009 and is presently at a 49% approval rating.

Only 49 percent of Hispanic Americans said last week they approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president, according to the Gallup poll. That is down 36 points from the high of 85 percent that Obama’s approval hit among Hispanics in the Gallup poll in the spring of 2009, his first year as president.

This can completely explain Obama’s “quid pro quo” attempt to buy back Hispanic votes with his “end run” around Congress and changes the manner in which the US exports illegals. Imagine that, Obama himself deciding on what laws of the United States he will follow and which ones he will not.  Sadly, this is nothing more than “back door” amnesty and a president making law himself, rather than that being passed by Congress.

Bowing to pressure from immigrant rights activists, the Obama administration said Thursday that it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria, such as attending school, having family in the military or having primary responsible for other family members’ care.

The move marks a major step for President Obama, who for months has said he does not have broad categorical authority to halt deportations and said he must follow the laws as Congress has written them.
