Why do you people act as if your skewed polls mean anything? Honestly i don't even know why we have presidential approval ratings come out every other day, they don't prove anything nor change anything, nor do they even affect anyone or anything. I guess its some sort of moral victory for republicans to lie about Obama's approval ratings? seeing as how legitimate victories are a thing of the past?

For the people who voted for Obama, hes doing everything we wanted him to do. You can spin that any way you want, but we picked the right guy and hes doing the right things.

Spin it all you want, he is falling apart for his lack of leadership and his poor decision making. Then add in the fact that people just plain do not trust him anymore and you can see why he is dropping like a rock.

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.
So who's going to beat him 12?

Most of my friends are mainly concerned with their CD's and savings accounts. I have never seen so many worried that banks will fail and the government will not have the money to honor the FDIC insurance on accounts.

In the last election, I was under the impression that Zogby was favoring Democrats so Now I wonder what the real poll results are. I recall before and after the election it was almost sacrilegious to criticize Obama but now it seems open season.

Few points

Zogby's polls are total garbage, and his methodology isn't even Scientific. That whole random sample Zogby doesn't even abide by.

Rasmussen is a Republican leaning pollster. His polls tend to be good election polls (close to Election Day), but his methodology is a bit flawed when it comes to approvals. His polls constantly had Bush at a higher approval than every other pollster, and now his polls constantly have Obama at a lower approval than everyone else.

Here are the other polls released within the last few days

Gallup 52-41
CNN 53-45
CBS 56-35
Ipsos 56-40
Pew 52-37

avg 53.8-39.4 +14.4

The Emperor has no clothes and everyone can finally see he's naked, and some are starting to admit it.

GWB's approval rating was so low that he had to glance UP to see the underbelly of a fire ant.
