This thread isn't even supposed to be about Obama. It's about a pretty evident sign about the state of the economy.

Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval
Oh gosh, does that include when Gallup had him at 46%?

His average according to Gallup has slipped again.

His fortune is tied to the economy, debt and deficits.

And it's back down to 42% today

A hair over 2/5 of the country disapproves of Obama. Pretty amazing considering the situation he inherited.

But this thread isn't about the O Dog. It's about the state of the economy.

The graph I showed came out "today." And it shows every single day since he was elected.

Now you can be crazy with hate and see some sort of imaginary downward trend the last eight months.....or you can be normal and see that it's basically a flat line.

The crazy will see what they want to see.

There's always the honeymoon period and the 2nd year swoon. Every president EVER has gone through it. Not sure why some on the right here think Obama is an exception.

Very much true because the work to pay credit that people got ends this year. The increase in the Bush child credit expires in Jan and will be half of what it was. Yeah how about we cut spending. How about we not create more entitlement programs till we can pay for the ones we already have. There is 670+ Billion in new taxes signed by Obama that start next year and is over for the next 10 years

No that isnt all they have people wanted real change when they elected Obama. They didnt get that. They got more of the same. It should be improving we are paying for it with taxpayers money just wait till we get to start to try and pay for it
