BO Has Lost More Support In His First Six Months Than Any President Since Truman
On Jan. 21st 2009, BO had an approval spread of 35% with 65% giving him a thumbs up and 30% not. Since then, and almost six months later, his numbers have changed dramatically. According to Rasmussen, the number of total approving is just 3% and apparently dropping daily. A quick check of past presidencies reveals that only Truman lost support that quickly at the beginning of his stint as president. Even Carter took a couple years to lose the support of most Americans. So what is it that makes this POTUS so unique?

In fairness Barry is facing a really tough financial situation which would take a while to get out of with perfect decisions. However his priorities just seem mixed up to me - why push a strict carbon emissions bill NOW when everyone (including Barry a few months back) admits it will cost jobs in the short term? Why not focus on making the first stimulus work for now?
Hold on..The Senate seats which are up in 16 months are meaningless while the Presidential poll is meaningful and it isn't up for 3 years? LOL..Did you really say that? So, it's only about what YOU see as and deem as being meaningful..Whatever..LOL..
A reading comprehension lesson would be useful. You missed the entire post. Not suprising though people read what they want to read.

A large part of it is that politics have grown increasingly less civil and more partisan over the years. Another major factor is that he was ushered in during the current height of the digital age which has made him more visible and scrutinized than any president before him, including his predecessor.
of those 3, gallup is the only one that i trust....CNN is a little left and Rasmussen is a little right...Gallup is in the middle.
The best thing is that today, July 9, Rasmussen has gone down to 51%.
The drop since last weekend has been severe from -2 to -8. Now you have to realize that they do their polls daily and that means that on July 8 they showed 51%. We haven't seen either CNN or Gallup since June and there has been a severe change on Rasmussen. Wake up and compare daily numbers to over one week old numbers.
Every day someone else reports his buyers remorse and OMG about what he did by voting for Obama. They all say the wanted Change but haven't seen any of that that they wanted.
