At 46% approval, Gallup’s new numbers show Barack Obama is still under the 50% he needs for re-election. With the exception of Harry Truman, no president has been re-elected with a sub 50% approval rating. The rest of Gallup’s message holds more bad news for Obama.
He hasn’t averaged 50% approval for a full month since last May when we killed bin Laden. His previous full month of 50% approval was February 2010.
Gallup reports that the much talked about BIG lead Obama has with women really isn’t very big at all. In 2008, Obama won women 56/43. Al Gore and John Kerry both won women (with 54% and 51% respectively), and both lost anyway.
Today, Gallup says Obama’s approval with women is at 49%; this is off 7 points since 2008.
In 2008, Obama won 18 – 29 year olds 66/31; they now approve of Obama at just a 54% rate. He won Hispanics 67/31, but that’s down to 55% approval. Although only 45% of those over 65 voted for Obama, that’s down to 41%. Working your “retirement” as a Walmart greeter will do that.
Overall, Democrat support has fallen 3 points to 83%, which is important because it is moving in the wrong direction. His support among independents has shrunk to 42%, a 10 point slip from 2008.
Obama has even lost 6 points (95%, now 89%) among blacks. Of course, this number will balloon to 100% on Election Day, but how can this be helpful to his re-election? The problem with this number and the numbers for 18 to 29 year olds is enthusiasm to vote. Among both groups, it is down sharply.
In March 2008, 78% of blacks were enthusiastic to vote, and 76% of young voters were enthusiastic to vote. Today, only 48% of both groups are enthusiastic. This is why the Left is carrying on the Zimmermen/Martin circus.
Obama captured 43% of the overall white vote in 2008; now, Gallup reports that his approval among whites (the largest voting bloc) is 37%.
Obama has lost ground with every group, is 7 points off with women, and under 50% in terms of overall approval.
Maybe Gallup needs to glue the happy face mask on Obama’s campaign. That seems like the only way it will stick.

Sure he can if the Spanish company does the vote counting or Diebold voting machine company changes the count
That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “Nothing happens in government that wasn’t planned to happen.” Look at the paper trail. I’d bet that the progression of events that led up to a Spanish company counting our votes, without confirmations, started with the left-wing manipulators being involved.
I have not found anything that can verify that our votes will be counted in another country. Do you believe everything you read? How many of the people are going to be convinced that their vote means nothing and will stay away from the polls on election day? This only reinforces what I have been saying for a long time. The more legitimate people vote, the harder it will be to stuff the ballot boxes. In the past elections, less than 50%, of those eligible, even bothered to vote. A politician’s worse nightmare is if everyone eligible voted. Then they would have to work for their constituents and there is no money in that. Democrats, as well as Republicans, all get very generous contributions from special interests lobbies. As a result, we have the best politicians money can buy. Those who don’t vote deserve the government they get. They did just as much to put Obama in the White House as the clowns that voted for him and will do just as much to send him back there for another four years. This is the product of apathy and they will soon be paying the price for it when it is too late to do anything about it. I am not saying anything new here that I haven’t said many times in the past. I am saying the same things that need to be said over and over. WAKE UP AMERICA. APATHY IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO OUR LIBERTIES AND FREEDOMS! NOT OBAMA.
Just exactly what I was going to say…his poll numbers are much lower than that as well.
Stevor – Thanks
YOU have that right -
“Sure he can”
Does your state not have firm laws about the counting of ballots? I know mine does.
Barrack Obama has his voters fraud in place and all of Congress will do nothing to stop it. I am so sick of those in Congress I could vomit on them. No other President in history has been allowed to get away with so much criminal activity than this President. I hesitate to call him a President when his is simply a PUPPET CHOSEN BY THE MOBSTERS AND DRAGGED FROM THE GHETTO to preform. Obama is actually an idiot. As for Congress, it is time to get rid of all them and let the people run this country!
Whether the polls are in favor of or against Obama, the numbers will not influence the black and latino voters. Why? Because I doubt seriously that he is held in disfavor by many within these communities. But, this is not the key issue behind the electablility of Obama. Votes are not an issue with regard to Obama being elected or not either. The “good” votes, by people of honor, honesty and integrity will be neutralized by the vast numbers of illegal immigrants who have and will vote, and those who are unregistered who will also be voting. Most significant of all, however, are the powers behind the “throne”, so to speak. Democrats, historically, have corrupted elections. Chicago, where i grew up is a prime example. This is just one of many. Today, it not just Amerian money and influence, but the intrusion of foreign interests as well.
Since Obama is still seated in the White House illegally, and continues to blatantundermine our Constitution,I don’t see how he cannot win relection as things now stan d. I would hope that I am wrong, but I fear that I am not!t
the only way this terrorist can win is voter fraud again, and intimidation at the polls again
Hell yes he can win! (and probably will)
1. His people are “counting” the “votes”.
2. The entire election process is a sham.
3. If you don’t believe #1 or #2, please refer to this George Carlin quote-
Government-
It’s a big f&^%kin’ club, and YOU AIN’T IN IT!
“..since last May when we killed bin Laden..”
Bin-Laden is dead since December 2001..[natural causes i.e. kidney disease] according to my calculations, a person can only die ONCE..!
Obama is using everything going for him – He balmes everything on the Bush, the Sen ,Congress, etc . He knows all the crap bills & budget and administratrion is trying to get passed is garbage . HE ALSO LIES ABOUT EVWREYTHING – NEVER TELLS THE TRUTH BUT THE WEAK UNINFORMED WILL BE VOTING FOR HIM. THE GOP NEEDS TO UNIFY AND ALL THBIS “BS” ABOUT THE BASE IS CRAP. UNIFY TO B EAT OBAMA SHOULD BE THE WAR CRY BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND GOP.
Obamas “Willing Victims” will vote for him because they believe they will get something from him. Boy are they in for a shock.
Of course he could win.
With rigged elections, even my grandmother could win.
And she’s been dead 10 YEARS!
Yes he can! Absolutely he can! A man who has committed soooo MUCH fraud to take the office he was never eligible for certainly has NO intention of EVER leaving it EVER. His plan is to fix the election now, commit scorched earth destruction of the constitution for the next 4 years, and simply CANCEL the elections in 2016.
3-mins – Michael Savage on How Obama has ALREADY FIXED the 2012 Election: – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmJtaOO2etc
These other Presidents played by some rules, had some honor, and were qualified for there jobs and didnt go pandering to the Black Panthers as a domestic Army. Have 11 million illegal votes. An Attorney General that is a felon and would do anything to keep his job.And Foreign Goverments doing our election RESULTS….No this Administration makes Tammeny Hall look like a day school……
Worst thing you can do to Obama is to vote him out by a landslide. He is an egotist and will not be able to handle it. Besides – Nobody wants him; not Chicago, not the Senate, not true Americans, and certainly not the citizens of this country. I predict he will disappear afterwards – probably his friends will get him for not finishing up the destruction of America. Personally, I would be glad to tell them where to find him.
It does not matter.
Obama got 2 Billion Dollars of George Soros’s $15 Trillion Dollar Counterfeiting SWIFT Wire Transfer Scam. Whereas Romney got 1 Billion Dollars of Geroge Soros’s $15 Trillion Dollar Counterfeiting SWIFT Wire Transfer Scam. Soros is free with this counterfeit money. He offered $10 Million to Shut up Sheriff Joe.
Search Lord James of Blackheath’s speech to the House of Lords on February 16, 2012 if you want to read about Soros’s fraudulent $15 Trillion Dollar Counterfeiting. You can also search the White Hats Reports online. “thewhitehatsreport” com website.
Soros uses this counterfeited SWIFT Wire Transfer money to buy up politicians, to buy up judges, and to buy up the media. As we just saw, George even used this counterfeit money to buy up his own voting company in Madrid Spain, to tell Americans who we elected.
We have $9.2 Trillion US Dollars printed and circulating in the world. With Georges $16.1 Trillion Dollar Counterfeiting Scam, we now have $25.3 Trillion Dollars Circulating in the world. This is almost three times the number of dollars out there bidding for the same gallon of milk. George’s Counterfeiting Scam guarantees 300% inflation for Americans.
Thanks to George, your paycheck will only buy 1/3 the groceries, 1/3 the clothing, 1/3 the utilities, 1/3 the home and 1/3 the car that it could before George’s Counterfeiting Scam.
He not only can but he will be re-elected. These figures mean nothing so I hope the conservatives do not get complasive.This is why he needs to be removed from the White House before November.
He will with massive voter fraud even worse than 2008. Besides this Soros has formed a new Party
that is on the ballot already in over 20 states. He plans to to run a conservative and split the vote Ala Perot.
I can’t remember the full name of the party but it goes by the initials AE. You might be able to find it at WND.
There are plenty of impeachable offenses commited by Obama and the do nothing congress needs to
show some guts and get him out by what ever means necessasary. I read that he had commited 19 felonies so far not to mention several cases of going directly against the constitution. Obama is a puppet and the powerfull people behind him planned for decades to put him in the White House. The communists like Soros and friends like the Ayres bunch etc. Working that long to get him in the Office they will do anything they deem necessasary to keep him there. We can not rely on percentages. They mean nothing to the people
who put him in office. They are just a guage to tell them how crooked that they have to get.
We all know that the fix is in, just like Reid in Nevada where any vote was move to Reid. Now we will have a socialist Country counting the votes under the direction of the Spooky Dude. Of course the other thing is the dead will rise again and vote also along with the imports none citizens from other countries. The Union dictatorial Bosses will order their Zombies how to vote plus beat or hammer anyone who does not vote the Union Bosses way. Already comrades we have lost the Republic as it is now controlled by all unelected Agencies like the EPA, FDA (murder for Profit Inc.) and the rest. Then there is the Occupiers who embrace Communism and think it is great, for they have never lived it, where you have no right, no property rights at all for the ruling class knows what is best for you and all none followers end up in the prison camps that are now being readied. So Comrades be ready and do not think that it can not happen as it happened before when thousands of Citizen were rounded up with no rights and place in a prison camp, their property and money stolen then distributed to Roosevelt buddies. Now we have the great Snake Oil Salesman who will do the same. Already they are destroying the Small Farmers and anyone who might grow food, This I know as as a retired Chef I teach free Cooking classes, called how to cook outside the government poison box for if you read the labels that allows profit making toxins in the foods to make you sick and mentally ill. So eat your Plastic foam, pink slime and smile when they come to get you.
Today, Obama spent much time creating a Class War!
The haves against the have nots. The Rich against Everybody Else.
These kinds of speeches are what incites riots.
How did this man get elected in 2008?
1. obama can win with all the poll numbers at half of what they are now. I believe he will win this November the same way he won in 2008, voter fraud. With an overseas company counting the votes that’s just one more source of fraud.
2. One re-elected, there will be a push to repeal the 22nd amendment to the Constitution. That’s the amendment that established term limits for the president. obama is one puppet Liberals want to keep in office.
3. This one’s a little off subject but I believe it deserves mention. If the Supreme Court declares ObamaCare unconstitutional we will hear cries for the impeachment of those justices who voted against it. There will also be cries supporting those justices, but the MSM will not report those.
Barack the magic negro can pull those votes out of his long sleeve from spain. I have nothing good to say about him. He is a tyrant.
Come on, seriously? They love it when you start stating “yes I believe he will win”. The usurper is a clown, most people who matter know it. Quit your whining.
If, all the John Q. Public’s out there, get out and VOTE, we can put this O B U ME R out to pasture before he does any more damage to this great Country of ours. But EVERY VOTER NEEDS TO VOTE, NOT LEAVE IT TO THE OTHER GUY.
The next President can come in behind this “”" CLOWN PRINCE “”" and recind every law this JERK has put into our system.
We don’t need another 4 years of this ISLAMIC LOVER.
Wake up America, Ron Paul is our only hope to restore honesty in Washington. We are in this economic mess because Washington culture of corruption and the Main Stream News Media that fail to report the truth to the American people. We elected the politicians to office to represent us the people, but they betray us and passed legislation that destroy our manufacturing our small farming, small retail stores and small business; they destroy our economic base and millions of jobs, they promoted the invasion of illegal aliens and call them immigrants that are in our country to contribute to our economic, but we know the truth they are here to take our jobs and decrease our wages and on top of all this they made laws that force us to pay for the economic and welfare of the illegal aliens. fellow Americans Washington represent big business, the multinational corporations and wall street. The GOP establishment and the Democrats are the same they don’t want Ron Paul because he will not sell out and will restore honesty in our government, this corrupt government do not want any change in Washington they trashed our Constitution because they claim that is old and outdated, our US Supreme court had become a political institution that use their power to support their ideology not our constitution, they are too responsible for the demise of what it use to be our America. Fellow Americans we must shake up Washington, on November we must vote for Rom Paul and not any one else, if Dr. Paul it is not nominate by the GOP we must vote for a third party. If Obama is elected again, it will be because the GOP fail to stand for America. Ron Paul is our last hope to restore America, because Americans will only be united by an honest leader.
God bless America. I pray to our lord to give us the wisdom to work in harmony to restore our constitution and our country.

Ron Paul is simply too old. Granted he has made some excellent points up to now. However, I believe his age is already affecting him mentally, as evidenced by some of his outlandish statements to-date. We need a president who will have full mental faculties throughout his/her term(s) in office. Are you absolutely, 100% sure this will be the case with Paul?
On Friday evening, March 16, 2012, Barack Hussein Obama signed into existence “National Defense Resources Preparedness,” an Executive Order which enables the president possession of dictatorial powers over the nation and the American people whenever he wants to implement it. Some of the more important—and frightening—dictates of the Obama decree:
1) The President can place the Order in effect whenever and for whatever reason he wishes.
2) The Executive Order makes it clear that the nation need not be at war or threatened with aggression to
be implemented. The Order specifically states activation may occur in peacetime.
3) All commerce, services materials and facilities may be commandeered by the President “as deemed
necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense…”
4) The entire economy will literally work under the President’s direction. He and his representatives will
also “control the general distribution of any material (including applicable services) to the civilian market.”
5) The President’s representatives will have authority to “encourage the exploration, development and
mining of strategic and critical material”, (including oil) after the President has become a dictator.
6) The President’s representatives have authority to take over privately owned companies, plants and
facilities, modify them, add or delete equipment and “authorize” production schedules
7) The Director of Selective Service and the Secretary of Defense will decide who will be inducted into the
armed forces and who will be deferred.
8) The President will also control all civil transportation, all forms, supplies and suppliers of energy, farm
equipment, all food, water and health resources; strategic and critical materials.
9) Also, emergency preparedness mandates of Obama’s Executive Order will be carried out according to
title VI of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act, facilitating creation of “temporary housing” facilities
for displaced persons also known as FEMA camps.
As the American people consider what Obama has done, it is also necessary to ask why. Does he know or expect something the American public does not? And how will the enslavement of 300 million Americans better prepare the United States for the requirements of “national defense?” Perhaps this “Martial Law” declaration is the insurance Obama needs to win the 2012 general election. This may be the “Ace-in-the-hole” he needs to guarantee he never loses power before ample opportunity to complete his mission to “fundamentally change the USA”!.
If this condition prevails, without Congressional resistance, why should anyone donate to either party?
At this time, we may already be toast?
