I guess you haven't noticed that Rasmussen is right in line with the rest. In fact, he is higher than USA/GALLUP by two and lower than Gallup by 2.

Right in the middle.

Look at all that red in the Spread column;

You know what that means?

His disapproval is higher than his approval.

Obviously. But that's contradictory to your previous post- you said the President isn't in charge of the deficit. So stop saying "wahh, Obamas such an out of control spender" (which is something you, along with many other conservatives do) if you believe that the President doesn't control spending.

With the stoke of a pen, yes he does.

Veto is a great thing that most residents of the Oval Office do not use enough.

The democrat congress only wrote and passed what the White House demanded, and Obama signed it with great fanfare. The deficit is Obama's albatross, hung around his scrawny little neck by a bunch of spend-happy democrats in congress at the urging of a group of goons in the White House.

I'm arguing on the side that yes, a President does control spending. So please don't nitpick my post to make it seem like I'm the one saying he doesn't control it. I just was questioning sanrene- first he/she says that the President didn't control the spending, but once I brought Obama into the picture, she said yes, Obama is controlling the spending. So which one is it, Sanrene?

Obama has done nothing to earn support, thus the low opinion of his performance.

Every time he opens his big lying mouth he sticks his big foot in it.

Your statement is just wrong. President Obama has average-size feet.

He certainly would love to see that 50% again but I don't think he will be seeing it very soon. It is too true that Obama has his foot or feet in his mouth just too much of the time.

Right in the middle.

Look at all that red in the Spread column;

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Obama Job Approval

You know what that means?

His disapproval is higher than his approval.
