The shock of last week’s CBS News/New York Times poll showing Barack Obama’s approval rating at just 41% was well understandable. Incumbent presidents don’t get reelected with approval numbers at or below 45%.
Nevertheless, the results turned out to be a matter of not being able to see the forest for the trees. Since we could not have expected the ashen faced leftists at the New York Times to point out the other bad news in their poll, adding to their misery seems highly appropriate.
Hidden in the report was the fact that a staggering 80% of those polled said they are NOT better off today than they were four years ago. News flash for the “expert pundits”: people vote their pocketbook in normal times, and these are far from “normal times.” Obama is a man who dampens enthusiasm for his own base and builds enthusiasm to vote among his opponents.
As bad as the reported numbers in this survey are, they were still worse because the Democratic cheerleader pollsters could not resist using phony understated samples of Republicans and phony overstated samples of Democrats.
The percentage of Republicans sampled was a laughable 26%, which is a full 10 points lower than Rasmussen says it is. The 33% Democrat sample was actually .5% higher than what is actually true.
Moreover, no matter what the media tries to tell us, 54% believe Obama is capable of bringing down the price of gas and will of course hold him accountable. Blaming George Bush for this problem isn’t washing.
The trends of the numbers are also running against Obama. In just the past month, Republican disapproval has grown 7 points; Independents who once favored Obama now disapprove of him, and even Democrat approval has fallen to 78% from 85%.
Both the rise in Republican disapproval and the fall in Democrat approval have to be seen as indicators of the enthusiasm each group has for voting in November.
Anyone who would argue Obama can turn these numbers around doesn’t drive a car or have a religious affiliation.

Don’t attribute to atheists any sort of inclination to support our Kenyan Keynesian in any way whatsoever.
There are plenty of Americans without “religious affiliation” who demand that our emphatically godless U.S. Constitution be enforced as the law of the land, and that the mechanism be run directly over the figurative and physical reality of our hideous Fraudulence-in-Chief.
There’s Alcatraz Island, sitting out there in San Francisco Bay, just waiting to receive him and all the rest of his administration, safely surrounded by hungry sharks, for the rest of their lives.
It’s when I reflect upon Barry Soebarkah that I kinda regret being an atheist.
If there were an afterlife, an eternity in hell is nothing less than what he’s earned.
I may disagree with you about the God issue, but it is nice to see people from all walks of life are not blinded by our “leader”. I am afraid if he is elected again we may all lose our freedom. I know I am trying my hardest to spread the word to get him out of office. To anyone else reading this please do not throw the racist card out at me. I am sick of that. We ALL need to keep our freedoms. Let’s get this tyrant out of office and get someone who really cares in it!
Religious affiliation does not apply in this instance. We are all Americans and care for our country. It is imperative that we “un-elect” Obama this time around. He made a couple of statements that should have been a clue when he was running in ’08, and they are “I want to fundamentally change the country” and “we need to spread the wealth around” There are others that he made, but those two should have been a clue to what he wanted to do. Now, he has a record to run on and he cannot dodge it.
Now here at this website is a TRUE leader of men. A must watch video.

The Bush Era has been over for 3 years. This is the Obama era and he needs to take responsibility for all our current woes. It was he who promised to change it for the better. Well; the Obama era is a failure. TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE IN 2012.
OBAMAS 3 YEAR DEBT HAS NOW SURPASSED PRESIDENT BUSHES 8 YEAR DEBT
Maybe they polled all the illegals and dead people that voted for the boon, I would bet his rating is more like 15-20% and I’m givig the benefit of doubt.
both partys have dead people who vote …the only problem is all the dead republicans vote for democrats
It’s almost incomprehensible that there are still 41% who actully approve of the job that this president is doing…especially when the percentage is so much higher when you ask if they believe the counrty is going in the WRONG direction! All that seems plausible is that a significant number of the 41% are just not paying attention, don’t care, or just support Obama because he’s (sort of) black.
To them all, please heed the following advice from Mr. John Stossel: “If you admit to not knowing the issues, and not paying attention to how they affect you, you have a patriotic duty NOT to vote.”
At 1:45 PM on 21 March, Radman414 had written:
Consider that the survey results pushed to us by the media (mainstream and samizdat) neglect to discriminate among their respondents a number of critically important characteristics, including discernment of those factors which would tend reliably to predispose someone to favor our Mombasa Messiah out of pecuniary interest.
What portion of that 41% is made up, for example, of people who depend for their livelihoods on government spending at all levels?
Remember that our TelePrompTer-in-Chief blew billions of Federal Reserve currency units in “stimulus” hemorrhages which were put into the hands of state and local politicians to maintain government thugs on public payrolls. Other billions went to bankster enterprises as well as “alternative energy” boondoggles, and the “rescue” of allegedly too-big-to-fail automobile manufacturers in order to benefit the organized labor thugs who had made those companies incapable of competing in the marketplace.
All of these had been beneficiaries of Barry Soebarkah’s usurpation of the presidency and other violations of the U.S. Constitution, and would therefore be kindly disposed – as the recipients of stolen goods – toward that sort-of-a-Schwarzer slimeball.
When conducting clinical trials of diagnostic and therapeutic measures, we always parse out the study subjects according to their innate characteristics so that we can tell what’s effective (and ineffective) among cadres according to age, gender, race, coincident medical conditions, etc.
What works in children may not work at all the same in adults, for instance. Men tolerate certain drugs quite well whereas the same medicines’ use in women is damned risky. The anemic or diabetic patient might not be able to tolerate diagnostic techniques that you simply shouldn’t employ in the evaluation of a patient with normal endocrine function or hemoglobin levels. Makes sense, right?
So why aren’t these surveys reporting information on their respondents that gives us a consistently better understanding of the degrees to which rent-seeking suckage motivates those who express their approval on this “Liberal” fascist son of Kenya?
Tsk.
“The anemic or diabetic patient might not be able to tolerate diagnostic techniques that you simply shouldn’t worry about employing in the evaluation of a patient with normal endocrine function or hemoglobin levels.”
I screw up a lot in dictation, too.
ACTUALLY 41% IS EXCACTLY THE % OF PEOPLE WHO DONT PAY TAXES
Radman414…If you watch MSNBC there is a segment of society that would vote for this man no matter what he did, good or bad. They are the “entitlement mentality” people, those that want something for nothing. I was listening to a Romney speech the other day and someone in the audience said that she wanted “free birth control”. Romney answered, “If you want free stuff, vote for the other guy” and how right he is.
http://www.petition2congress.c… Go to this website and sign the petition to vet obama for eligibility to be president. He was never vetted by the lame stream media in 08 and he has to be now. If you voted for him before, his record should keep you from voting for him again.
ADOLF HUESSEIN OBAMA AND THE COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT PARTY ….WORKING TIRELESSLY TO TURN AMERICA INTO THE WORLDS LARGEST GHETTO
Now, now. Ever since the miserable bastids enacted Obamacare over the enraged, vociferous, death-threatening opposition of their own core constituencies in 2010, they’ve proven that there’s absolutely nothing even remotely “democratic” about them.
That being the case, I’ve decided henceforth to refer to them as the National Socialist “Democrat” American Party (NSDAP).
Curiously, the initials coincide with those of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers’ Party).
What a coincidence, right?
Tucci ,first off there aint NOTHING AMERICAN about the COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT PARTY
Adolph huessein obama started his 57 state tour today to push his energy policies …meanwhile back on the farm I’m paying 4 dollars a gal for gas, 4 dollars a gal for milk, I have to read my lame stream media news paper by candlelight because under obamas energy policies my electric rates have skyrocketed,but he wants us to believe his policies are working ……and they are !!!!!! there turning America into the worlds largest ghetto and the worlds largest supplier of poor people and unemployed college graduates
Dark_Archer, ,,,, just as I predicted, Obama is opening up the last leg of the Keystone pipeline. Here is the story
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57402437-503544/southern-leg-of-keystone-pipeline-a-priority-obama-says/
This is nothing but a political move to try to fool the people that he is really interested in bringing down the price of oil/gas. Anyone who cannot see through this needs a brain adjustment.
The polls are already skewed by points because I have hung up midway through one and I am sure there are countless others that have refused as well. I remember my statistics teacher telling us about polls and it is the way the question is asked to manipulate the data. The Times can really manipulate the data.
