The trend has been there all year, but now Gallup has a full year of data to back it:
Obama is the most polarizing President ever.
He has a 65% percentage point gap – the difference between what Republicans and Democrats rate his job approval.
See the graph here. So much for Hopenchange!
I’ve been a bit busy with the holidays and have not had time to sift through my usual diet of Obama disaster stories. I was wondering if with this sneaky Christmas Eve Senate passage of a Obamacare bill if Americans are still in love with Obama or if he is still slidin’.
He’s still slidin’.
From trusty Rasmussen Reports, another squiggly line graph that nicely shows people who don’t like him, still don’t like him, and have more company in that category.
Only three more years to go…
Oh my: Obama’s still not on a roll. The mojo and magic of a year ago is lost in poll numbers that show what readers of this blog 
know: he’s an awful President.
For October, according to Rasmussen Reports, Obama’s “strongly approved” rating fell to 29% – the lowest of his presidency. And for the 3rd straight month, his “strongly disapproved” stayed at 39%.
Those numbers are amazing considering most of America still gets news from antique media – which has proven to be favorably biased towards Obama. Imagine the reality if they all did their own research and found out what his policies really mean, how much money he’s really spent and what is really behind the “image” of hopenchange.
It all seemed so promising this time last year. All the campaign speeches about “Hope and Change”, “Change we can
believe in” and all that stuff. Most Americans bought it. The wisest of us did not.
And now it seems most Americans are becoming wise.
A great link here to Real Clear Politics Right Direction/Wrong Track survey results. There has been no surge of agreement that this country is on the right direction even since Mr. Hopenchange took office. Their post includes many other surveys, including liberal ones. Only 36% say the country is in the right direction, while 58.8% say it is wrong. Those are some stunningly upside down numbers for a new administration only 10 months old – an administration that ran a campaign entirely on the promise of CHANGE.
Here is some recommended reading for President Obama for this week’s plane trip to Denmark.
I realize he is so worried about landing the Olympics for Chicago, his hometown, that he – and the usual extensive corps of Presidential security detail – must fly to Copenhagen to lobby for the Olympic bid. It’s a long trip, so here is some reading he can do:
He could read Rasmussen Report’s latest poll on his job approval. In case this takes too long to read, here are some graphs:
That graph is a little negative, so let’s read one that has a positive color, like green:
Oh, that graph IS green, but it also is a little negative.
While on the subject of GREEN, I wonder what the carbon footprint of his trip will be? And the First Lady is making the trip as well, with other White House staffers, in another plane because she has to leave earlier.
Back to reading: He could also pre-order Sarah Palin’s book “Going Rouge”. A reported 1.5 million copies have already been ordered. It will be out in November, but by then, he should have lots of time on his hands after he has fixed healthcare, made a decision on Afghanistan, finalized his Gittmo plan, stabilized the housing market, revitalized unemployment..and all that other pesky Presidential stuff.
So with these graphs so negative, and such a lengthy “to do” list – how does he have the time to lobby for his hometown’s Olympic bid?
From Rasmussen Reports, a nice graph showing how Obama’s strongly approve following has dropped from 43% in January to 30% in August, while his strongly disapprove rating has grown from 20% in January to 39% in August.
From Gallup, Obama today reached 50% unapproval rating and if he drops one more point, will be the 3rd fastest approval drop of U.S. President’s since World War II. Only Ford and Clinton dropped faster.
Oh my. I bet Obama is wee weed at this.
The strongly approve continues to drop, and the strongly disapprove continue to rise. 
It is time for an epic Obama distraction.
Time for him to pick a new puppy.
Have a little fun and take a poll. Rasmussen is still running their Obama job performance prediction. They survey 500 people every day and for about a month now they have been doing an online poll on the side. If you are still waiting for a survey company to call you to ask you what you think, you can go ahead and let go of your breath now because it probably won’t happen. Just have some fun with this online prediction poll. Go ahead, help yourself. Click here.
