The people who voted for Obama are still unemployed
"The Center for American Progress study is a straight-ahead description of the grim employment status and diminished earnings prospects of whites, Hispanic and especially younger blacks. The official unemployment rate for people in their late teens and post-college years is around 16%, but add in those who've given up looking or taken jobs flipping hamburgers (underemployment) and their home-alone status moves past 25%. For young blacks--the most politically misled people in America--the out-of-work number is between 40% and 50%."
Usually, Congressional approval rates are in the tank. And, considering the lack of action in Congress these days, I can hardly blame the voters for their low opinion of these clowns.
The real test will be next year, during the mid terms.
The currently unemployed would be much worse off under a McCain/Palin administration. That WOULD have been a complete disaster.
J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, and Brian Terry would either still be alive, or at least would have their attackers held to account. Why? Benghazi would not have been such an unmitigated disaster, and like Bush, McCain would never have allowed a gun walking operation (Fast and Furious) that used uncontrolled delivery, or a lack of strict control of straw purchased weapons.
Speculating on something that hasn't happened is easy, see, anyone can do it....
Well, if President Obama decides to drop bombs on Syria and Iran, you'll see his popularity plummet, especially among conservatives. Some are already squealing about drone usage overseas.
So you approve this method.....next we'll see some people in America supporting it on American citizens.
Kind of strange theres 86 people in Gitmo that should be released they've found nothing on these people and still this adminstration fails to let them go. Maybe, he ought to start with first things first. Drone killing is only making us look worse.
Obama still has 3-1/2 years to go. I'm sure between now and then his popularity will fluctuate.
Watch what happens in March - June of next year, after Obamacare is in full force and the effects are starting to be felt nationwide. I'd bet a good chunk of change that his approval rating is going to plummet.
When you ask people if they approve of the House/Senate they overwhelmingly say NO.
When you ask people if they approve of "their: Representative or Senators the majority say YES.
Most Reps/Senators have a higher approval rating among their constituents than Obama. Which should probably be expected, as many districts are "safe" - ideologically dominant.
