Obama's approval among Democrats is currently 76, and has never gone below 74. In essence he gets the nod from at least 3 of 4 Democrats no matter what.
W Bush, by contrast, went as low as 55% among Republicans late in his second term. Consider the non-stop calamities of the Obama admin--IRS scandal, Fast & Furious, continuous economic malaise, Obamacare, etc. By contrast Bush had 1 major hangup, and that was the execution of the Iraq occupation. Conclusion: Democrats are much more likely to base their approval solely on partisanship. That is why Obama will never go much below 40%, IMO.
It is pretty funny looking at some of the attempts to spin the latest numbers. The very same people that lived and died by Presidential Approval Ratings in the two terms of Bush 43 are now saying that the very same data is invalid.
Obama's #'s are poor, no one is discounting that. However, the difference cimpared to the last few years of W when his #'s were poor is the fact that the Republicans's #'s are considerably lower now than the Democrats #'s were in Bush's 2nd term.
I don't see this as a direct attack on obama, but in government in general.
We The People are fed up, being led to the lions.
The grabbing of power is not being hid, like it was before the internet appeared.
Waking up and seeing the big picture and you see the fundamentals of the USA being changed right before your eyes.
Blame it on the uneducated, that didn't understand exactly what fundamentally changing America, really meant.
This nation is entirely based on the fundamentals drawn out in the US Constitution.
A smart man once said, " The experiment will end, when the people realize they can vote themselves to take the treasury of the USA"

Bush is long gone.........get over it! Just wait until the EMPLOYER MANDATE hits next year!!
This nation is rotting from the inside........and Obama is ground zero.

I didn't bring up Bush, another poster did. I was simply pointing out the impact of Obama's poor #'s might not have the same impact on the 14 midterms as Bush's poor #'s heading into the 06 midterms due to the fact the GOP's #'s are considerably worse than the Democrats's #'s were back tgen.
