Obama's approval rating has been between 60 and 65 since inauguration...
Even in the latest polls.

What the fuck is everyone going on about his "approval slipping"?


Bullshit.


The American people have squarely placed the blame for our current economic situation on the Bush administration and the Republicans. That hasn't changed one iota.

The AIG "outrage" is being directed at AIG... and at the Bush administration... by everyone except the MSM.



62% approve, 24% disapprove in the latest CBS poll... taken 3/12 thru 3/16:

61% approve, 28% disapprove in the latest Gallup... taken 3/13 thru 3/15:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/116845/Obama-Approval-Equal-Better-Bush-Clinton.aspx



The American people are with Obama.

Relax. All this gnashing of teeth is just the chattering class trying to make it seem that the people are turning on him.

They're not.

1. As Nate Silver of 538 wrote, Rasmussen seems to be cooking his polls!
Showing the true Repub favoring stripes of the Raz poll.

8. Rasmussen is ridiculously pro-Republican and misleading
He has Obama at 56% I believe. With disapproval at 43%, when nobody else has his disapproval even at 30%.

2. That's complete bullshit and we all know it!
Seriously, why do these moron Republican worshipers think they can get away with such absolute and utter bullshit! We all know it is a complete lie. He approval rating is over 90%, and every intelligent person knows that.

3. Welcome to DU, greenkal

... and just because you and your freerepublic friends hate the guy doesn't mean that his approval ratings aren't in the 60s.

You are part of the 24% that thought Bush was doing a good job too.


Your sarcasm is noted... but nowhere in the post did I make up numbers about Obama (the 90% you sarcastically stated)... just real numbers from real polls.

3/5 of this country approve of the guy.

1/5 of this country disapproves (you are in this 1/5).

1/5 of this country is unsure about him yet.

14. Damn morons
> doesn't mean that his approval ratings aren't in the 60s.

I said I know it's in the 90%. Do you have trouble reading or trouble understanding basic maths?

> You are part of the 24% that thought Bush was doing a good job too.

I of course have never said that. Are you illiterate or a liar?

> Your sarcasm is noted...

What sarcasm? Again, are you illiterate or a liar?

> the 90% you sarcastically stated

Again, WTF?

> you are in this 1/5

I never said that. Again, you're showing you simply don't understand basic English or basic maths.

4. His approval rating will
probably go up after his town hall meetings in California and his appearance on Jay Leno. It must be so frustrating for the MSM.

5. If they say it enough, people will begin to believe it
"when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous."

7. And they never look that ridiculous, because they never acknowledge
that any of what they do is what they did.

12. Yeah, but lies from the media have started a feeding frenzy
of the left eating their own.

See Greenwald's article if you want to see a good example of an ignorant assed fucker with an axe to grind eating his own.
