So now its officially official. The man who offends with every nuanced catchphrase, who seeks to destroy that which has built this incredible country, who goes abroad and gets NO HELP from our allies for the one war the Democrats are willing to fight, yet proclaims success: B. Hussein Obama now has the GREATEST political approval divide in history.
The Pew Research Center, hardly a partisan target for Demoncrats to dismiss, reports that Obama’s approval has slipped below 60%, like Rasmussen which has it at 56%. 39% STRONGLY APPROVE and 38% STRONGLY DISAPPROVE of our new President. Disapproval has risen 15 points among Republicans, those who were left basically, and 13% among Independents.
“President Barack Obama’s approval rating has slipped, as a growing number of Americans see him listening more to his party’s liberals than to its moderates, and many voice opposition to some of his key economic proposals,” the Pew Center concluded.
Its new survey finds Obama’s approval rating falling to 59 percent from 64 percent in February. It also finds the ranks of Americans who disapprove of the president’s job performance rising, to 26 percent from 17 percent.
It is truly going to be a time when the “I agree with class warfare and hatred of the american engine of prosperity, cause thats easy, but don’t call me a Democrat” nabobs are going to have to get off the fence and come back to sanity or be left in the cold with their Liberal buddies. You aren’t going to have any friends left on the fence with B. Hussein in the Oval Office.
Among those who registered a jump in disapproval were Republicans, up 15 percentage points, and independents, up 13 points, Pew found.
The survey was taken among 1,308 adults last Monday through Thursday and has an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
One reason for the erosion of support could be that a plurality sees Obama aligned more with the liberal wing of his party as he pushes an agenda that calls for broad increases in government spending and taxes.
Pew found that Americans think by 44 percent to 30 percent that the president listens more to liberals than to moderates in his party. The sentiment was a mirror image of what it was in January, when 44 percent thought he listened more to moderates and 34 percent thought he listened more to liberals.
Since then, Obama has signed a $787 billion economic stimulus package and proposed a $600 billion-plus down payment for a health-care overhaul and raising taxes on wealthier Americans to pay for it. He also proposed a $3.55 trillion fiscal 2010 budget and projected that the federal budget deficit for the current fiscal year would hit a record $1.75 trillion, or 12.3 percent of the gross domestic product.
The Pew poll is the latest finding that the president has lost some support as he’s started to flesh out his governing agenda.
And that time is coming soon than you “fence sitters” are going to like.
This wasn’t a 1992 “Perot splits the conservatives” election. This wasn’t a groundswell of new voters voting Democrat in huge numbers. They were the same in 2004. This wasn’t even a “Bill Clinton’s electoral votes” kind of election. This was a couple million people hoping and praying for something different. And getting, as Bill O’Reilly called him, a puppet. The Presidential teleprompter could do as good a job.
And you all know it. Now don’t you? No allelujah praise. No cumbayah. Just OH MY GOD.
Every rationalization he gives for doing what he does is a false choice. It’s this or do nothing. You’ve heard it. The rhetoric is worn, isn’t it?
Now, I could do a whole article just on this photograph, but I won’t. I, at least, will show a little class. We have a First Lady who goes out and can’t even dress herself properly. This would not be Cindy McCain or Sarah Palin, or god forbid you would hear the catcalls from the Liberal chorus.
This woman is an Ivy League elitist who has no business representing the United States of America.
There, I said it.
It’s obvious the crazy train has left the station.
Take a look at what this same poll discovered about Republicans and then jump out the window:
“When asked who they think of as the leader of the Republican Party, 73% either say they do not know (58%), or volunteer that there is no leader (15%). John McCain is mentioned most frequently, but just 11% name the Arizona senator as leader of the Republican Party.”
Terry,
But isn’t Obama’s approval rating still more than double what Bush had?
Just seems to be more grasping at straws, a Republican theme lately.
Where was Terry Crawley when the United States (under the command of George W. Bush) Invaded a soveirn country and murdered a few hundred thousand of it’s citizens?
Where was Terry Crawley when the US department of Justice, the nerve center of our nation was infiltrated by Bush opretives and bled from within?
Where was Terry Crawley when GWB floated Harriet Myers for a Supreme Court Justice?
What the F%$K is the fool talking about.
In fact it has been less than a hundred days.
I did not vote for Obama….
NEVERMIND, I took the bait. I should hang up the keyboard. enough said.
Mr Pedroza
Obama’s approval rating at THIS point in his presidency is LOWER than George W’s even AFTER the psychos declared him an APPOINTED PRESIDENT.
Look it up.
duplo
Hook set! Sorry, I do not catch and release!
it will be only a matter of time before this clown has his ratings below 50% he has taken socialism to the extreme = but everyone drank the kool aid . the best we can do is stop pelosi / reed from taking this country farther left and at least have some kind of ballance when we have the next election .
This has been another horrible week for the GOP – what’s left of it. Can any of the loyal GOP posters here tell me who is currently the head of the party? There seems to be so many characters vying for the position.
The GOP continues to give generously to Late Night comedians. Here’s a summary:

In contrast to this blog entry by Terry, Obama’s being treated like a rock star as he continues his world tour.
Terry, next time try harder to win an election. If the GOPPERs had coughed up somebody who wasn’t a senile dim-wit they would have won and we wouldn’t be heading down this disastrous, soon to be inflationary socialist recovery.
But come to think of it, Bush the Degenerate also supported bailouts and takeovers. So what the Hell’s the difference?
You loonies hate Obama, then you blame him, instead of yourselves, for being divisive. That doesn’t sound much like peronal responsibility to me.
“then you blame him, instead of yourselves, for being divisive. That doesn’t sound much like peronal responsibility to me.”
Posting an obvious photo-shopped picture of the current president flipping the bird is a perfect example of avoiding personal responsibility for the “divisive” nature of the conversation.
Sorry Vixen,
NOT photoshopped.

Oh yeah, and our allies are taking him about as seriously as a Rock Star.
Terry,
that link proved what? That the photoshopped picture is spread everywhere?
I’ve never seen Obama indicate that he’d flip the bird in anger. Why would you choose this photo if you were not the one being divisive in this conversation?
Terry,
Honestly my friend. Did anyone take Bush seriously? I realize you did not support him, but he was your party’s leader for eight years.
And now your party appears to have no leader.
Isn’t it time to quit the GOP already?
This past Tuesday a special election took place in New York’s 20th Congressional District for the House seat that opened after the Democratic congresswoman was appointed to take Hillary Clinton’s place in the Senate.
As you know, New York is a LIBERAL state.
And this congressional district has been voting Democratic.
In fact, just five months ago, the Democratic congresswoman beat her Republican opponent by more than 23 points!
And Obama even beat McCain last November — by about 5 points!
When it looked like the liberal Democrat in the race, Scott Murphy, was going to win, there was press buzz that this was going to be a bellwether race showing how strong support was for Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and their radical policies.
Even liberal Chris Matthews reported that the race would show what people really are thinking.
The Republican now leads by 12 votes

Its time to quit taking YOU seriously Art. You cant compare apples and apples because you lose the argument. You lose the argument and you change the subject. You picked the losing side Art. Get over it.
*It’s great to be partisan….a great part of the
process. Being “unaware” and “unwilling to accept reality” are more burdensome. We always
loved George and Laura…but had some problems
with a few things. But those days are gone….
just like when the Clintons moved to New York…
with all the silverware!
But having said that:
Barack and Michelle are doing amazing things in
a very very short period of time. You have to be living in a cave if as an American you are not proud as punch! Name “anyone” from the United States that has ever before made such a world impact? Reagan at the Brandenburg Gate!
Hey, we don’t like Geithner or Bernanke…we know they are dirty..we just don’t know how. But Barack and Michelle are great. Can anyone even imagine what would be happening right now, had dare we say it: Palin-McCain….had gotten in?
Obama is “kicking it” right now and no Sean Hannity baloney can convince us otherwise. Things can change of course….and we will heartily join in – to point that out; when any balls are dropped or any pooch is screwed – sometime in the future!
Terry,
Haven’t you seen the sticker on my SUV? I voted for the Libertarian party candidate! Sure, he lost, but now I get to say, “Don’t blame me, I voted Libertarian!”
Seriously, the GOP is dead. Time to move on amigo…
Well, to be sure, the GOP has moved on from you. Don’t come knocking round here no more, no more… hit the road Jack.
I have apparently stepped into a right-wing sandbox. How delightful!
art if we think like you we would all be walking the plank . the g.o.p is not good right NOW . but it can rebuild . years ago the reps had everything where your screaming for the dems to give up and quit.. the dems will mess up soon with pelosi/ reed leading them .
Art.
Bill Clinton’s approval rating 58% 100 days
George 43 Bush approval rating 57% 100 days
Obama March 30, april 5 rating 62% close to 100 days

Please do. There’s a first time for everything.
