I heard on national news tonight that Obama's approval rating has gone down to the lowest point in three years. Maybe you can explain how that looks good for him?
81 percent of Democratic support is a good place for him to start -- it's better than what Clinton had at this point in his presidency. Obama has still got his base. Talk of the Democratic Party abandoning him in unfounded. Couple that with the enormously unpopular Teajad movement and Perry's sinking numbers, and I think Obama has an opening. Those who think this is a slam dunk are out of touch with real Americans.
81% approve of Obama's job?
I find that hard to believe.
Can you please cite the polls.
Is that 81% of registered Dems, or of people who voted Dem in the last election?
It would be nice if it was true, but I don't buy it.
President Obama's base has abandoned him - so goes the conventional Beltway wisdom.
The problem with this accepted narrative: There's no data to back this up, according to the most recent NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll.
The survey, which was conducted in late August, was abysmal for the president, save for his head-to-head match ups with GOP presidential contenders. But it also included these numbers:
-- By an 81 percent-14 percent margin, Democrats approved of his job performance, essentially unchanged from his 82 percent-14 percent score in July.

The upcoming election isn't a lock for the Democrats by any means, but it's definitely going to be far more competetive than the Teajad cheerleaders think.
Ha ha.......way to twist your OWN words....first it dems....then it the "black base".......
You on the left are getting really really worried.....

All that proves is how ignorant democrats are.
obama will lose in a landslide to anyone.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see someone take him on in a primary.
