73% of Americans Believe that Wasteful Governemnt Spending to Blame for Federal deficit

Once again Barack Obama is on the wrong side of the issue against the belief of the American people.

According to a recent Gallup poll, an overwhelming majority of the American people think that wasteful government spending is responsible for the out of control federal deficit. 73% of Americans believe that government spending too much on programs, that includes 91% of Republicans, 73% of independents and 56% of Democrats.

However, Obama thinks what makes America great is government spending and by not spending we are harming future generations. Yet another issue that we be up for debate in the 2012 Presidential election. As the Gateway Pundit reminds us, Obama has tripled the US federal deficit since he took office.

Obama Economic Recovery: 29% of Americans Say We are in a Depression in 2011

Thank you, President Barack Obama …

According to a recent April 2011 Gallup poll, 29% of Americans believe we are in an economic depression. When will Obama learn that perception means everything and the American people think that the economy is a catastrophe. Not only do 29% believe we are in a depression, but another 26% believe the economy is in a recession. What does this mean? Barack Obama’s minions and the state run media have failed to spin the economic recovery. As reported at the IB Times, is it a fake recovery and have Americans lost faith in the economy?

Are the American people losing faith in the U.S. economy? The statistics that you are about to read might surprise you. Not everyone believes that the U.S. economy is dying (there are still millions out there that will swallow anything that the mainstream media tells them), but the reality is that there is a growing chunk of the population that has completely lost faith in our leaders and in our economic system. A brand new Gallup poll has found that the number of Americans that believe that we are in a “depression” is actually larger than the number of Americans that believe that the economy is “growing”.

This is Barack Obama’s worst nightmare in a reelection bid in 2011. Keep in mind that Obama’s job approval numbers are below 50%, which is a negative indicator for any incumbent. Obama’s handling of the economy is even worse. The price of gas continues to rise to the $5 and $6 a gallon mark which will only further cause “The One’s” poll numbers to slide. Making matters even worse for Obama is that 67.5% of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track.

USA Today/Gallup Poll: Americans Favor Republicans Over Democrats with US Budget

Incumbent Obama will need a lot more than raising money to get reelected in 2012.

A recent USA Today/Gallup poll states that Americans favor Republicans over Democrats in handling the US federal budget. Shocker, you mean Americans do not trust tax and spend liberals to handle the budget and a President in Obama who has put drunken sailors to shame with his spending. The poll also showed that Americans preferred the GOP over Democrats on six of seven major issues facing the United States.

The federal budget was the only issue in which respondents clearly preferred one party over the other, with 48 percent favoring Republicans and 36 percent Democrats.

The poll found that Americans favored Republicans by smaller margins on four other issues: Afghanistan, the U.S. economy, immigration and jobs. Democrats held a small advantage on handling healthcare, the poll found.

Even though the one issue, health care, other polls show that Americans prefer to repeal Obamacare. making matters worse for Obama is the continued stagnant economy, lack of jobs, lingering unemployment and rising gas prices. Worse than Obama’s falling overall job approval rating is his poor approval rating in handling the economy. However, Obama’s overall performance as President can be summed up in American’s mood of the direction of the country. Only 25.8% of the people think that the country is headed in the right direction, while an incredible 67.5% think we are on the wrong track. Try getting reelected with those numbers.

What will Obama run on …

1. Can’t do “Hope & Change”, been there done that.
2. Can’t run as an Outside the Beltway candidate, he’s the incumbent.
3. Can’t blame Bush, or will he?
4. Can’t run on jobs created.
5. Can’t run on the price of gas going up over 100% during his Presidency.
6. Can’t run on his campaign promises of ending two wars and closing GITMO.

YIKES!

Obama at 42% Job Approval Rating in Latest Gallup Poll … 50% Disappove

President Barack Obama has sunk to a 5 month low in the latest Gallup Poll, down, down, down …

According to the most recent Gallup poll, Barack Obama has dipped to a 5 month low of 42% job approval, while 50% disapprove. With Obama’s recent displays of a lack of leadership in the budget debate or the Libyan war, one has to wonder how “The One” has not dipped into the 30′s.

The White House and Obama can dismiss the polling data all they want; however, for an incumbent President who just announced his reelection bid for 2012, this cannot be a good sign. Barack Obama will suffer horrendous polling numbers if the gas prices continue to climb, which they are doing, and the economy continuesto falter, which it is. That does not even take into account having to defend Obamacare and the flip-flops of his 2008 campaign promises.  Today’s initial unemployment claims are hardly a good sign for a President who will be held accountable in 2012 for the economy and the lack of jobs created during his first term.

The White House routinely dismisses polling data. But it’s a troublesome footnote as the president kicks off his re-election effort Thursday.

Obama’s low approval rating is not the result of the major speech he delivered on Wednesday. Some of the polling took place before he delivered the speech. Rather, a Gallup official believes the results reflect broad public dissatisfaction with the economy.

“You can never discount the economy as a reason,” said Frank Newport, editor-in-chief of the Gallup Poll. “It’s important to remember that Americans are down on the economy right now. We saw some glimmers of uptick, but that’s faded. And there’s no way that can’t help but rub off” on the president.

Obama’s continued lack of leadership and refusal to take on difficult issues like the budget will only further cause his polling numbers to crater. The United States has a budget crisis and all Obama did in his partisan speech is kick the can down the road. It is becoming obvious to many, including those who voted for him, that Barack Obama just is not ready for prime time and is over his head in the job.

Obama Job Approval Rating Now Below 50% With Even the Poor

Even the poor are asking themselves if they are better off today than they were before Barack Obama.

President Barack Obama even failing with his job approval with the poor. According to a CNS report, Obama’s approval among the poorest Americans dropped to an all time low of 48% last week. This presents Obama with quite a perplexing situation. He now is under 50% job approval with all income classes.

Each week, Gallup publishes the president’s average approval rating for the previous week among four income brackets: those who earn $2,000 per month or less, those who earn between $2,000 and $4,999 per month, those who earn between $5,000 and $7,499 per month, and those who earn $7,500 per month or more.

For the week of April 4-10, Obama’s approval rating was 48 percent among those making $2,000 or less per month, and 46 percent among those in each of the three higher income brackets.

Think this has any thing to do with Obama’s new class warfare in proposing taxes on millionaires and billionaires, even though it means any one who makes more than $200 K. Barack Obama is in for quite a tough run in 2012.
