Presidential polls mean nothing unless you go from a 60% approval rating to the 20% range. Polls go up and down all the time. They usually mean nothing.

I think the Rasmussen polls were the most accurate of all the polls during the 2008 pre-election and elections.

There is only ONE POLL that ACTUALLY MATTERS !

It's held on ELECTION DAY!

All of the polls held between elections just give the LOSERS something to WHINE ABOUT!

Hey Republicans ... you're doing one heck of a job with your WHINING!

Keep up the great work!

See you in 2012!

If Bush is the Obama benchmark, then Obama is in serious trouble...

Zogby has him at 42 - Rasmussen has him at 45 or 46.

The decline is consistent - and dramatic. The guy is floundering...

Odd, that for many years the left wing mobsters used these same polls when they wanted to attack Bush but now they are not a reputable source.

Get over it, the honeymoon is over for the village idiot and people are standing up in force against him.
Greeting's,

It appears that Sunny-Days assesment of our current President and his entire administration and policies may be partially correct to a degree............

I ask your consideration on the following :

I am not aware of any loyal American citizen's in my sphere of friends and associates who maliciously desires to witness the political demise of our fledgling young President.

The American's I am familiar with would eagerly continue do their utmost to totally support an elected President as they have continued to do
for many, many years. The majority of Americans are fiercely loyal and deeply respect the office of President of the United States.

But....................

I fear that our current President and his political support base have critically underestimated the mindset and idelogies of the many remaining loyal "American Patriots" whom walk among us.

These great Americans also have profound hopes, dreams and expectations for this grand republic..................

It appears that the American people are unbelieveably approaching one of the most dangerous crisis in it's history...... a crisis that if allowed to become a heartbreaking reality will most certainly weaken this beloved land to perhaps a point of no return.........

If our youthful President would simply "slow down" (fast tracking political initiatives have persistently failed with the American People except in time of World War) and initiate a broad based effort to work out the many differences between the volitile political camps, listen to the voice of the "American People..... and adopt a fundamental compromise approach that begins to produce positive results for solving the tremendous problems America is facing today.............................. If only...

This would most definitely send the correct message to begin the
desperately needed return of sanity to this entire debacle!!!

The American People are acutely aware that our President appears to be far too much under the influence of the special interests and the tremendous pressures these interests are capable of applying to political office.....

It is not impossible to eliminate the dangerous "Great Divide" so many of the American People and their and their new President find themselves so deeply embroiled upon..........

Without doubt America must dilligently work towards the day when this
current destructive political climate has been effectively eliminated and the citizens of this most unique nation can once again proudly support
our President...... and look forward to the continued blessings of
Liberty.....

It would be a most welcome occurence to at long last observe a high level of support for America's President and the American Nation at home and upon the World Scene...................... Best Regards L. F.

At the rate Obama is going, he'll more than likely see his approval rating in the 20s or 30s by Christmas!
