It's a good day!

Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval


Can't say I know of any president who won a second term with a 42% approval rating.

^Um, we are 1.5 years from an election. There is plenty of time for the approval numbers to climb or sink.

Seriously - why people want to make predictions about something that a good amount of voters decide on in the last 3-5 days before an election is something else.

I wonder how that "massive victory" for the right taking the house and supposedly leading the country into perfection has panned out?

Congressional Job Approval at 17%

17% approval? Damn, that's gotta hurt for the right wingers,..

Proof that you guys are scared.

After all, if it's a given that he's gonna lose at 42%, why all the trash talking?

How's Obama going to put all these nations back together that are falling to radical Islamic government under his watch?
He did nothing forever with the Gulf Oil Crisis.
$5 gas.
Increased our national debt by near 50% in just 2.5 years.

Quite a record for the Tea Party to go after indeed IMO.

Absolute proof some of us are scared. 42% of Americans are just fine with stomping on the deficit accelerator, more capitulation to corporate interests and deer-in-the-headlights lack of leadership.

Chris Hitchens said it best: "You see how far the termites have spread...and how long and well they've dined."

Yep, he sure did, but unlike Obama, Reagan knew what to do. Reagan bottomed out in Jan 1983 but was rebounding sharply due to the collapse of inflation and unemployment. BO is still on his way down with a hopeless job market and skyrocketing food and fuel costs.
