East coast doesn't mean mostly blue stares or just blue cities. There is a large mix of both parties on the east coast. I was simply pointing out that the polling was mostly east coast states, plus Colorado and Iowa.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I wasn't sold on McCain but I did vote for him. I had no idea Obama would be as bad as he has been.

Neither did I, and I knew he would be bad.

We basically elected Donald Sutherland's character from Animal House to be the President of the United States, then we act surprised when we find out he has no idea what he's doing..

Nice Animal House reference, but that would have worked better for Baby Bush.

OBAMA! OBAMA!
Well I agree with the article, both my wife and I voted for him in the last election and wish now we had voted for Romney. Obama can give a good speech but has the worst leadership skills of any president I remember.
Just as a note, I don't watch Fox News nor MSNBC!
As an added note, if the Democrats nominated Elizabeth Warren it would be worse than the Goldwater defeat, a left wing wacko is just as bad as a right wing one.

Do you have any evidence to back that up?

From June 24 – 30, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,446 registered voters nationwide
with a margin of error of +/- 2.6 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell
phones.
This seems like a pretty accurate nationwide poll that the RCP average is using. They show an Obama 40% approval rating. The RCP average is 41.4% with 5 of the other 7 polls the RCP average is currently using at 40 or 41%.

Seems like you are having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that you elected and reelected a failure that is often a GWB clone based on how cool it would be to elect him.

reactionary poll for dumb people who cannot think long term and are just reactionary towards the now.
Oh really. That certainly has stopped liberals from judging the Bush presidency.

Oh, please.

The states in which Quinnipiac polls respondents: Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, and Colorado. They all elected Obama in 2012.

Even given that, they ranked Obama the worst president since WWII.
