Polls Are Showing That The Honeymoon Is Over (Congress, Reagan, statistics)

[TRUEGRITT]

An article in the WSJ delves into the numbers and they don't look good for Obama.

Obama's Poll Numbers Are Falling to Earth

It's an editorial.

Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval

Approve 63%
Disapprove 27%

Looks pretty good to me. I like to look at the numbers rather than Opinion pieces.

You apparently did not notice the authors of the article.

Yes, the owner of a poll site. Your point?

Twice as many people approve than disapprove.

You keep those blinders on, but a lot of the country has taken them off.

So many lies, so many broken promises, so many gaffs with foreign dignitaries and leaders. The list goes on and on.

It's not blinders, it's numbers.

62% Approval rating.

27% Disapproval rating.

I wonder if TRUEGRIT, KOOTR and fellow travellers are paid propogandists for the neocon fools.

In Feb. Gallup had Obama's disapproval rating at 12, now it is 27, up 15 points in one month while his approval rating has dropped by 6. Both of his numbers are heading in the wrong direction so, like I and the article said, the honeymoon is over, take the blinders off.

Take a look at historical ratings.

Do you notice a common trend of upward tick followed by slight fall? Who has the blinders on? Again, I base my opinions on facts, numbers, statistics.

Interestingly enough, Congress' approval is skyrocketing.
