President Obama's approval ratings continue to slip nationally. But in Texas — at least among independent swing voters — he's fallen off the cliff.
A new poll of Lone Star State voters found that just one in three Texans — and only 19 percent of independents — are satisfied with what is happening at the White House. That's way below the 46 percent approval rating Obama receives nationally among independents, according to the latest Gallup poll.
The president also is having trouble with Latino voters. Just 47 percent of Texas Hispanics give Obama a favorable rating, with an identical number disapproving of his performance. That's far below the president's numbers with other key Democratic constituencies, including liberals and African Americans.
He only does slightly better on joblessness (43/51) than on the economy (41/56). Obama is also underwater on the budget deficit (37/56), health care (45/53), taxes (42/50), and immigration (39/51).
Barry, did you really think you can love employment and hate employers? Did you think you can mix post-partisan talk with vicious partisan attacks? Did you think you could get away with treating every profit as an obscene profit, when most Americans depend on profit for their paychecks?
Alexis de Tocqueville noted more than 150 years ago that the American public was slow to come to a conclusion, but once it did, it was very difficult to dislodge it. The majority opinon today? "Enough!"
There's no way he could get enough electoral votes today to win if his opponent was a poodle dog.
I'm calling it right now --> Palin in 2012!!!
Palin is more cheer than leader--settle for a dumpy old pro like Haley Barbour, or somebody with more policy background like Sen Corker or the Indiana governor.
Although Palin would be very, very good compared to what we have now.
