rushmc 23 #5 July 21, 2009 QuoteA USA Today/Gallup Poll out Tuesday morning delivers some bad news for Barack Obama. Here are the key finding of the national poll: By 49%-47%, those surveyed disapprove of how he is handling the economy, a turnaround from his 55%-42% approval in May. The steepest drop came from conservative and moderate Democrats. By 50%-44%, they disapprove of how he is handling healthcare policy. A 59% majority say his proposals call for too much government spending, and 52% say they call for too much expansion of government power. Expectations of the economy's turnaround are souring a bit. In February, the average prediction for a recovery was 4.1 years; now it's 5.5 years. The USA Today/Gallup Poll is sure undermine the President's position as he pushes for his ambitious universal healthcare plan. "His ratings have certainly come back down to Earth in a very short time period," Republican pollster Whit Ayres told USA Today.

Look, the approval polls are pretty much bullshit when it comes to determining how well a person is actually doing their job anyway. Look at the data GWB had for the latter part of the month of September 2001. Wow! All time highest approval rating of any President ever! Holy crap that dude must have been a genius! Then look at the data at the end of his Presidency. He went from 90 to 34. I doubt you're going to ever see another swing that far in your lifetime.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is one reason to pay attention however. The boneheads in Washington live by this shit. (most of them anyway) With the polls going south Obama will become an island fast at this pace. For that reason alone I enjoy this poll"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
