But polls are fickle. I doubt he can keep this up for long, all though if the Republicans keep up their attacks on the middle and lower class its possible he might.
I have made my living as a historian. I am nether Democrat or Repulican. Polls have absolutey nothing to do with a Presidents ranking in history. As time passes and the nation has to deal with the consequences of the massive over reach by this administration and struggle through the constitutional crisis this will inevability create, the blame will go to Obama and Congress for allowing such an illegal situation to occur. People in the future, looking back at this administration will wonder why there was not treason charges levied against members of this administration and some members of congress.

Agreed and those that dont have large medical bills, which is a majority of us, have a lower disposable income because of ACA.

You're a historian? For who, Breitbart?

I also think that as more info becomes available and people get a greater understand of economics and foreign policy as far as what does and doesn't work changes perceptions.

You mean these bailouts that ended in a net profit of $53.8B
Total to date?

Bailout List: Banks, Auto Companies, and More | Eye on the Bailout | ProPublica

Do you have anything of substance?

In his mind, gambling you won't get sick and then declaring bankruptcy when you do get sick is not only favorable to paying for health insurance, it is cheaper than not having to pay for health insurance, provided you remain healthy.

It's actually a quite commonly held belief. Republicans would rather someone else pay for their health care.

Or maybe your party is just insane when it comes to every issue, and throws out adjectives like "worst ever" without backing them up.

My question is, who are these people that give a president an good approval rating after he knowingly lied to the American people about Obama Care? After Jonathon Gruber spilled the beans about how stupid American voters are. The list can go on and on, but just taking this one thing, What is wrong with people? are they, Ignorant? Dumb? uninformed? Don't care? What???
