Obama Approval Rating Drops To Fresh Record Low

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Poor Obama - the president can't get anything right these days.

Just when the faithful reader of the TOTUS was certain he deserved a boost in his ratings after he literally bought popularity with the recent push to hike the minimum wage, the last thing he expected was yet another plunge in his job approval rating. Sadly for him, as the latest WSJ/NBC News poll reveals, even with the "ten ten" initiative to appease the lowest common denominator, his job-approval rating just dropped to the lowest ever.

 Perhaps the people are finally seeing beyond the perpetual scapegoating, the endless platitudes, the endless-er teleprompted speeches, and have realized that beyond all the talk, there is nothing more substantial to Obama - a president under whose rule the rich have gotten richer at the fastest pace in history, while the living standards of everyone else, that would be some 99% of the population - have declined precipitoulsy. That and the whole deteriorating economy thing, which will be in all out collapse once the Fed's artificial life support systems - the very reason why there is no recovery except to those who hold financial assets - are finally yanked.

Or maybe the people simply demand a new minimum wage plan: call it a "twenty twenty"?

From the WSJ:

The results suggest Mr. Obama could weigh on fellow Democrats in midterm elections this fall, particularly in the conservative states that will play a large role in deciding whether his party retains its Senate majority.

 

Mr. Obama's job approval ticked down to 41% in March from 43% in January, marking a new low. Some 54% disapproved of the job he is doing, matching a previous high from December, when the botched rollout of his signature health law played prominently in the news. The latest survey also showed the lowest-ever approval in Journal/NBC polling for Mr. Obama's handling of foreign policy.

 

The findings come amid dissatisfaction with all elected leaders in Washington and low regard for the Republican Party. Roughly a quarter of those polled view the GOP positively, with 45% harboring negative views, weaker numbers than for the Democratic Party.

 

While fortunes could change in the months before November, Mr. Obama's power to help his party's candidates appear limited, said Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who directs the Journal/NBC poll with Democrat Fred Yang.

 

"The president is being taken off the field as a Democratic positive," Mr. McInturff said. "These numbers would suggest that, beyond his behind-the-scenes fundraising, it's hard to imagine the president on the road and hard to imagine where he would campaign."

 

Americans surveyed in the poll said they were less inclined to support a candidate if the person had been endorsed by Mr. Obama or was a "solid supporter" of his administration. Approval of Mr. Obama is particularly weak in the South and Midwest, regions where Democrats could have a tough time defending Senate seats.

Apparently the Russell 200,000 is not the economy:

Unease over the economy continues to drive these concerns. Sixty-five percent of those polled said the country is on the wrong track, compared with the 26% who said it was on the right one, a wider spread than in the midterm-election years of 2006 and 2010. Roughly one-quarter of the respondents think the economy will improve over the next year, while 57% believe the U.S. is still in a recession, despite years of modest economic growth and robust stock-market gains.

The only silver lining in all of this: Obama is not quite Dubya. Yet (thank white women).

Despite those signs of erosion for the president, Mr. Obama still doesn't engender the same levels of disapproval that his predecessor, George W. Bush, garnered at this point in his presidency. And Mr. Obama's support among women, particularly white women, as of now is strong enough to create a bulwark against GOP gains in the midterms.

Obama's slide charted:

Would Obama fuck Michelle with Reggie's dick? That's is the only fucking question.

Clinton became impotent in 1970's from Cocaine, and Hillary would use Cigar's and have Bill insert them in other women, and bill return 'said cigar' to Hillary's Smell hole.

Go figure what Reggie and Obama call that hole where no man ( IN the white house ) will go on Michelle.

IMHO no Steve Hawking and Hillary-2016 fuck me? Nope, ... Bill cigar fucked Monica, and left the cigar at Hawking's apartment, and then cigar went to Hillary, that's how I came about.

He is still perhaps the Smartest. the Toughest and the Most Successful President the US has ever had.

 

think about it .... the hurdles he had to overcome to become the first black President in a majority white country .... most of you have difficult to find a job and keep it, let alone to get promoted ... he got the FIRST job in the land!

 

now go ahead and vote me down ... this is what most of you are capable of doing very well i must admit ... coach potatoe mentality and strength (spelling learned from ex vice presidente)

Arius, who cares whether it was tough or not to get there? Is leading a nation just all about Obummer's fuckin' self-fulfillment? All that counts is that this bastard betrays the people who voted for him day in day out. Whether it was hard for him to get this "opportunity" to f*ck millions of people is the least thing to care about.

Is it an achievement that a black man now does the same evil job as so many white assholes before him and destroys what's left of the constitution and civil liberties and and fucks the masses even harder ? Is that what he wanted to proof all along with "yes we can"?

The Dems took a handsome, smart, articulate black man with a private shcool background and  turned him into a candidate that naive people rallied around...if you were'nt naive then you were called a racist.  Couple this wth the expansion of gifts from the welfare state and you ave a new president.  Minorities incorrectly identified him as one of them, as did liberals and women and they voted him nto office thinking he would take care of them.  In the end he's just another polictician who creates ne policy which is said to favor the people but which, in fact, favors big business.  In the end he might be the emost prolific liar to hold the office in my lifetime.  He certainly is the most arrogant.  He also is the worst president in my lifetime. The onething he wants to call a success is an abject failure.  And tell me how successful he has been at true financial reform? After 5 years in office he now owns our fucked up economy. His foreign policy is non-existent, probably in part because he staffs his team with unqualified campaign bundlers as spiffs to return favors.  I could go on, but I'll leave it at that.

 It is quite incorrect to say his foreign policy is "non-existent".

 

You correctly identified his favored sponsors whom he in fact lavishly rewards domestically.

In foreign affairs he serves to reward the same/similar (the TBTF-MIC-petrodollar oiligopoly).

 

The "bundlers" you mention are there to sow xenophobia and jingoism, never meant to practice

diplomacy and cooperation.

Same as Obama's domestic appointments are not meant to actually promote legal justice, education, or health, etc.

I think all the "get out the vote" business is really designed to prod uncaring thoughtless idiots to vote. They are not encouraged to research or think - just vote. If the general population can be fooled into voting red or blue like football teams then there is no need to worry about "democracy" spreading to America. The few who care are simply burried under the majority who dont give a shit - yet vote anyway - for one of two options.

classic IDIOT....and you even mispelled POTATO....remember the backlash on that one. There are plenty of blacks that work hard, are smart and make millions if not billions. Obama never had an accomplishment except to be handed some office in Illinois the most corrupt state in the country, that he wasn't qualified for and did nothing at when there. In the presidency he has failed abysmally! I hope the country can survive the damage Washington is doing to the country at the behest of the criminals from Wall Street. Find me a city where a "Democrat" rescued it from a death spiral. EVERY Solution they implement makes it worse. You probably think Bill De Blasio is the smartest man on the planet as well.

Arius, you do realize that this man has never held a job in his life and was groomed by others to get to where he is today only because he is black?

You do realize the man can't speak without a teleprompter - even in meetings?

You do realize that you spelled 'couch' wrong while slamming Dan Quayle - the only crime of his was spelling 'potato' wrong. And then you insinuate that the current vice president is better when even the left grit their teeth in fear every time he speaks because he is such a rambling buffoon?

Tough? Um, the man is as thin skinned as any Chicago punk bully. Successful? Sure! He wanted the country broken and now we have record deficits, record foreclosures, record bank failures, record unemployment, record number of people on public assistance, record US troop death toll in Afghanistan, record spending, deteroriating race relations, cities declaring bankruptcy, a failing US dollar, unprecented spying on US citizens, using Executive Order to assassinate US citizens overseas, attempted war with Syira, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, record number of vacations, record number of golf games, Obamacare which is a rolling disaster, no current jobs plan, US troops deployed in at least 12 MENA and central African countries, Solyndra, debt to GDP ratio over 103%, over half the United States sued to get out of Obamacare, record number of unelected, unaccountable czars, lobbyists still running the White House, secret meetings in cafes offsite of the White House to avoid having to tell who they're meeting, Michelle Obama with over forty personal assistants, Obama lost over 600 seats for the Democrats in the 2010 elections...

AND YOU WONDER WHY WE'RE DOWNVOTING YOU?

The 43% approve because they're stuck in the R vs. D Liberals like many of my friends or they are getting free shit like some of the people I work around. Those are the two groups I've been able to classify the Obama voters into and I mingle with them every single day. Remember, many of his remaining supporters are those kind of Liberals who could see him on video drowning puppies and children and still defend him. They've been brought up to believe that Liberalism is unquestionably great and they will never, ever deviate from it. Oh, and as far as the blacks are concerned, and I'm talking oh, 97% of them - they don't care what he does as long as he's a black Liberal. So unfortunately, you'll always be stuck with that 43% no matter what. Just for fun, google the last six election results and look for that 38-45% number. You'll be amazed.

Obama is nothing but a 'marketing' President, ie plenty of good marketing behind the product but the product itself is crap.

Give me a shitty product and great marketing any day over a great product and crap marketing. Folks, with the general population so stupid a great marketer can sell monkey crap for $50 a pound ALL DAY LONG.

case in point: "Yes We Can!" Everyone lapped it up didn't they, but what then did it actually mean and what overtime did it come to mean? Answer: Nothing then and nothing now....

Tony Blair was also a product of great marketing. But we Brits finally realised it and it's the reason he barely shows his head in the UK. Sadly there are many American mugs who haven't yet realised it and therefore pay $500 - $1,000 to hear the clown speak.

The pious Iconoclasts of Byzantine Empire destroyed the icons, not because the icons imitated God's image, but because they understand that what the icons did was hiding the fact that there was no such thing as "God" to hide away from people in the first place.  "Leaders" of all sorts are the same as the icons.  By pretending to be "barely approved", they hide the fact that there is nothing left of the political system that is relevent to any means of "approval".  The perfect simulacra do not simulate: they only pretend to simulate, hence hiding the fact that there's nothing left to hide.  By pretending to pretend, they become their own simulacra, enclosing onto what was once reality which is no longer there.

#1) "The glorious Bushobama stopped a nefarious plot to bring accountability and the rule of law to our fair nation today when he single handedly defeated millions of terrorists who were massing in DC to demand their document of religious hate [the constitution and bill of rights] be made the basis for all national law."

#2) Ignore it entirely and keep babbling about sports and the empire.

I'd add a #3 with fair portrayals of the marchers and an accurate representation of the issues that motivate them, but that simply isn't plausible.

RE

I think 2012 was worse.  Romney maybe the most conflicted, moronic, aloof, and out of touch candidate of the entire history of presidental elections.  Really goes to show how much money controls things.

Obama really had no business winning in 2012 considering the direction the country is going.  But since we basically have two NeoLiberal parties in power (the only difference being one is more socially liberal than the other, hence its grip on power), all of this goes to show that voting, for the most part, is an insignificant exercise in the age of QE, Citizens United, and growing Income Inequality.

"Just when the faithful reader of the TOTUS was certain he deserved a boost in his ratings after he literally bought popularity with the recent push to hike the minimum wage, the last thing he expected was yet another plunge in his job approval rating."

How can the Kenyan Marxist expect his approval ratings to climb when unemployment is at catastrophically high levels? You can push the min wage to $50 an hour, but if there are no jobs, no one is going to care. And don't even get me started on teenage and black unemployment rates.

As usual. the wrong poll.

A POTUS's ratings are meaningless, other than as a celebrity popularity rating. His power having been gradually taken away and subsumed by the Wall Street Jewish Mafia.

The poll that should be taken, after the american people have been educated, not indoctrinated, about the FEDERAL RESERVE, is why three Jews have been and are in control of the FED for 40 years and how they are benefitting monthly and have benefitted the most from the TARP, and all the free money that Bernanke has been printing for them, for abominable failure and bankrupting corporations, countries and looting pension funds.  

Then they should be asked what would happen if the Three Jewish Federal Reserve Chairsatans were named:  Battaglia, Brazzi, and Benigno, instead of Yellen, Bernanke, and Greenspan, what then would be their rating.

Take it back. Confiscate it all and return it to the US citizens they stole it all from. Give them fair and speedy trials. Let Mexico and the rest take care of their own citizens, not dump them here to prey on the locals while the cops deal dope, do dope & steriods, hide bodies, cover up judges', senators' and celebrities' crimes, run hookers for the mob and arrest people who call them for help, when they don't just shoot them with all responding officers firing their weapons to prevent accountability, all while we pay them top dollar.
