Thank God America is no longer sold on Obama!

His policies are outrageous blows to a free capitalist system; outrageous because he has moved without regard for the people to put them in place and because they are so antithetical to our system of free markets. Markets which are supported by hard work, industry and individual responsibility.

I never take Rasmussen seriously, even if he shows data that supports my point of view, which he often does.

Rasmussen has been more accurate in voter outcomes than others. He uses "likely voters" and I think that's key as to why he gets closer to actual outcomes.
 
You don't need a poll to see that people are sick of this joker. His people are inept amateurs. You dumbass liberals should have voted for Hillary. But you trusted the moment.
historical!!
first black president!!!
Remember the excitement?
Remember the story here from IB1 that some guy called out OBAMA to him while stopped at a red light? LOL

Now you got what you voted for. Second-rate leadership

Thanks, libtards! You guys rock!

Conservatives on here were arguing the other day that his policies were just like Bush's. So, this is an interesting assessment.
 
Remember when the Cons used to argue that Bush's low poll numbers indicated he was doing a good job... Because he was not playing to public opinion?!?!?!
 
I don't expect his approval ratings will be going up very soon:

Jobless claims jump to 5-month high


By Annalyn Censky, staff reporterAugust 12, 2010: 9:02 AM ET


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The number of first-time filers for unemployment insurance rose to the highest level since late February last week, according to a weekly government report released Thursday.

There were 484,000 initial jobless claims filed in the week ended Aug. 7, up 2,000 from an upwardly revised 482,000 the previous week, according to the Labor Department's weekly report...

Nope, it will start about a year from now. Just like Reagan's approvals started to improve about 9 months after the mid-term.

Don't get ahead of yourself. There's also this chart:

Edit: The full size blew out the margin. You can view it here:

Basically, Regan and Obama are roughly equivalent in terms of approval rating, but the economic situations are hardly comparable, with the current situation much much much worse in terms of employment than existed at the point in Reagan's first term.

Ahh, the chart that shows improvement from the moment President Obama was sworn in... ya that chart.
 
So in real terms....

The economy is worse than what Reagan was dealing with, and Obama's approval rating is better than what Reagan was dealing with!

YEA!

Rose-tinted glasses are good and all, but let's not get carried away. "Better than Reagan" doesn't mean "good." And it doesn't matter whether the economy is "worse" or not. What matters is how quickly things get better. Things got a lot better under Reagan a whole lot more quickly than anyone expects in the near term.

Obama's reign covers from month 13 through month 32, last two not on the chart. How you see improvement from 'the moment he was sworn in?'
