His approval ratings are dropping.

In Reply to: Gallup Poll shows a 62-67% approval rating.......nm - Mrs. Bridger
These are the lowest of all time and they keep dropping. Rasmussen shows 43%-56% approval. He's lost all Republican support, a good part of Independent support, and some democratic support, and the trend is most negative.
Gallup evaluated all presidents going back to Richard Nixon. His 63% level with them is about the same as the average of every president going back to 1968 during their first months in office.
Obama's approval rating went up 1 to 4 points with self-identified democrats but dropped 14% with conservatives
His approval rating is also below where George W. Bush's was in 2001 and is lower than Jimmy Carter's 71% rating
Polling shows there is great economic concerns. 83% are worried what the O has done will not fix the economy and that it will only get worse (go figure), 82% say they are worried about all the money being added to the deficit and inflation, and 69% are worried about the size of government increasing. Additionally, support for the stimulus package has dropped.
Rasmussen also shows that people are opposing Obamas budget 46% to 41%. This is not good news at all.
It also states that voters blame Republicans for the lack of bipartisanship in WA, they also say that the O has not made any progress in improving cooperation between the two parties (another broken campaign promise).

That's why his ratings are dropping
People have no confidence in this person. He is certainly not leading by example, and most (a lot of democrats too), or starting to ask... "does this guy even know what he's doing". They simply shake their heads and say no. I'm just wondering how much more they will allow our country to be destroyed. It's a very sad time for America.
Bush Approval Ratings Have not Bulged...sm
Your comments about dropping "ing,"
"dude", and "six pack joes" were condescending and elitist. You infer that these people are inferior in your view, that their intelligence is lacking simply because they drop the "ing." I guess you know your are pointing fingers at the entire southern tier of this country and in most rural areas. Are you saying no one from those areas is "fit" to be VP?
And to answer your question, YES, I would be very comfortable with her running this country. How could she possibly do worse than all those experienced "pleasant speaking no drop the 'ing'" folks up there in Washington? Look where we are right now! In a mell of a hess, right??
I know what she ISN'T. She did not go to a racist church for 20 years, she has not been linked to home grown terrorist, and she is NOT a socialist. Obama IS. Does his history, 20 years in a church that preaches black liberation theology and economic parity worry YOU at all? I suppose not, if you want to live in a socialist country.
I would much rather hear "dude" and people dropping the "ing" than a socialist society. What about his global poverty program and wanting a set percentage of our tax dollars going to combat povery all over the world...can't we take care of America first? We already give millions in aid...we have to earmark our tax dollars to go overseas? In the interest of globalization? You go ahead and vote for "citizen of the world" Obama. I myself will vote for "Country First" McCain, and the only one of the 4 who has a clue what life is like in the real world, Sarah Palin.
Have a good day now! :)
Also, the disapproval ratings for
abortion has gone up and I truly believe it is because of Obama's radical ideas of abortion and pretty much allowing it during whatever trimester, etc. I think this has scared some people and they have now decided against abortion for that.
I don't trust the pubs right now either. I would like to see more conservative people in the senate and house, but as far as pubs.....I'm done with them too. I think the pubs will make a come back though because things are continuing to get worse and if all these taxes start being implemented......our economy will get much much worse and more and more people will be p!ssed off. When enough people get ticked off at one party, the other party takes over. That is the natural way things go.
I think a lot of people are scared and unhappy and more and more people are joining that opinion and belief.
Yep, their ratings continue to tank while Fox
nm
Fox ratings are at an all time high because...(sm)
as we all know, it's hard to look away from a train wreck. 
I think the Simpsons had a big run on ratings like this at one point. That show was also fiction.
Fox ratings are at an all time high because
people are hungry for the truth. You want to believe it is fiction, but the numbers speak for themselves. This is their 9th year and building. Even CNN is 3rd now and fighting back. What do you expect from Immelt and Zucker on MSNBC? Ms. Maddow is really showing her ignorance to say she does not know the purpose of the Tax Day Tea Parties. This is grass-roots America speaking up. I gotta admit, its not nearly as juicy as soap opera using an unwed teen pregnancy to keep the subject off the REAL soap opera that was happening at G20 and tour. That is what was hilarious!
Your ratings info is outdated. How about that ICE detainee
is he a hack too? Get over Bill-O and try a little coverage of the other side of the immigration issue.
Fox has soaring ratings. They show both sides.
nm
His ratings are skyrocketing! Liberal news is losing

MSNBC's job is to deceive their viewers; explains their very poor ratings!! nm
He got an 80% approval because he is the
;)
YEP, that is why their approval rating is ....
GASSSSPPPPPP lower than...omg no say it ain't so......BUSH'S. ROFL.
80% approval rating
Because Alaska is full of A-holes, like 50% of this country.
Yep, his approval rating is low.
But the democratic Congress is lower after just 2 years.
They only have a 9% approval rating...way to go! nm
//
The 80% approval rating was for....(sm)
how he was handling the transition.
His approval rating is 63%
Obviously everybody else in the country likes him and thinks he is doing a good job.
The one on this board only come here to gripe, because obviously the other 27% (hmmm....could they be the ones who approved of Bush - wasn't that HIS approval rating at the end??) are MTs and come to this board.
By reading this nonsense, you would think the rest of the country sided with them. Glad to know it's not true!
She has an 80% approval rating in Alaska...
to me that indicates that the voters who put her there are very happy they put her there. THat includes Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
The man was corrupt. She got rid of corruption. Most Presidents when they go into the job, as well as most governors, "clean house" when they go into office, whether they are corrupt or not. You act like that is something that is "not done." Good grief.
My bias is showing? Now THAT is rich. LOL.
Okay...first, what an elitist comment. A tiny Alaska community? Those people don't count? Well you certainly relegated them to the back back back burner didn't you? Tell me again how important the "little" people are! She has 12 months of actual executive experience. Obama has none. She is going to be second chair, not first. She has an 80% approval rating...Obama never HAS had that, except from NARAL, who gave him 100%. I would say that her constituents are happier with her than Obama's were with him.
I think she is ready for the "big boys." Let's see how she does in the debates with Biden.
Why is it that Democrats laud democratic whistleblowers and diss Republican ones??
Unless McCain dies or incapacitated, she won't be getting that 3:00 call. But since you brought it up...this little person has a question about that 3:00 call. Is Obama going to call Joe Biden on the other line???
Why did Palin have any over 80% approval rating?
nm
Well that most recent 67% approval rating
How credible do you think you are by passing judgment on Obama administration 6 weeks before he is even sworn into office?
Yep, they actually have a lower approval rating than
nm
She has an 80% approval rating in Alaska...
so obviously "most" of the people in Alaska do not agree.
I have seen her very low and still slipping approval rating, YES nm
nm
Well, giving Obama an 80% approval before
nm
With a 37% approval rating, I daresay
these are *embittered partisan protests.* So, maybe you aren't proud, but I still do not feel my *indignation* is misplaced. You are the one thinking partisan.
Obama's approval rating............ sm
According to the RPC, Obama's overall approval rating has slipped to just slightly over 60% and Congress' approval rating is at a whopping 33.3% and 61.2% of those polled feel that this country is on the wrong track.
Just thought I'd share that bit of dismal news.
Sorry - the Approval Index is by Rasmussen
+30 the day after his inauguration...down...down...down...a few blips up...but mostly DOWN. Not hard to see why, of course - it's called buyer's remorse. Unfortunately, there's no Lemon Law when it comes to kissing a political toad and learning to our sorrow that it really is just a toad - and was never anything else. In 2012, we'll try a different toad.

Bush Approval Continues to Fall
Could the rest of America be getting a clue?
August 17, 2005
President Bush’s job approval has dropped to 41% nationwide, according to the results of 50 separate but concurrent, statewide public opinion polls conducted by SurveyUSA. Bush’s aproval rating ranges from a high of 59% in Idaho to a low of 29% in Rhode Island.
- Bush is above 50% in 7 states.
- Bush is at 50% in 2 states.
- Bush is below 50% in 41 states.
Compared to last month's poll, Bush's approval numbers dropped 5 or more points in 10 states. The single largest drop was in Minnesota, where it fell 10 points. Bush also fell 9 points in New Mexico.
That wasn't an approval rating, it was desperation
When an economic recession is looming, people become scared and will do just about anything hoping things will turn around...... that is the only reason Obama got the vote, that and a few states that haven't a clue about what it's like paying for lazy baby makers and their daddies all day long....
Flame all you want!!!!
Obama, Democrat Approval Slipping
Obama's approval index (number who strongly approve minus number who strongly disapprove) has slipped to +4 from +30 on taking office. 35% strongly approve, 31% strongly disapprove.
Rasmussen polling also shows that more voters would choose a "generic" Republican over a "generic" Democrat in the next election by a 2-point margin. Similar polling in recent weeks had previously shown the Democrats to an edge of up to 6 pointts. This has evaporated.
I predict that the slippage will continue as Democrats overplay their hand in Congress, and as the bill for their drunken spending spree and the unthinkable mountain of debt they're accumulating begins to land on the average citizen, as it ALWAYS does, one way or another (higher local/state/sales taxes, higher license fees, higher prices, wage stagnation, etc.).
The reason this always happens is because that's the way economics happens to work and neither Obama, Pelosi nor any of their arrogant commie pals can change the rules of economics - even if they do push us into socialism. (Some of our younger members should study up on the inequality of income that has resulted under ALL of the socialist, "nanny-state" and/or communist systems. It will disillusion you about all such schemes forever.)
Obama Approval Index sinks from +30 to +2
I won't be surprised to see him in negative territory tomorrow once the American people find out what he actually said today in Cairo. DISGRACEFUL SPEECH!
Yeah, poor Sarah and her 80% approval rating.
nm
Gallup Poll shows a 62-67% approval rating.......nm

Obama's Approval Index hits negative territory
The approval index is computed by subtracting the percentage of voters who strongly disapprove of Obama's job performance from those who strongly approve of it.
Once sporting an index in the +30 range, the Big BO (you may interpret "BO" however you wish) has in a matter of a mere handful of months fallen like Lucifer from Heaven. May his end be similarly appropriate, politically speaking. Let's make this goofy clown a one-term bozo.
Because he keeps dropping it lower and lower
And soon my $30 or $40K is going to be considered rich, hence my taxes will be increased!!!!!!
