PRESIDENT’S POLL NUMBERS HIT RECORD LOW …
U.S. President Barack Obama is experiencing record-low approval ratings as the American economy continues to, um … “recover.”
Or whatever it is we want to call what the economy is doing …
Oh, and that whole “Obamacare” thing isn’t helping, either.
According to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, Obama’s approval rating currently stands at 41 percent – a two-point drop from January. That’s a record low for this particular survey.
Meanwhile 54 percent of the country disapproves of the job Obama is doing – equaling a record high.
Obama is also losing his “likability” factor – or the ability to maintain support among Americans who may disagree with his views or disapprove of his job performance.
“The problem for Obama and Democrats in this poll is that his personal likability no longer keeps his overall numbers afloat,” the website HotAir noted.
Before so-called “Republicans” get too excited, though, the poll found 45 percent of the country had negative feelings about them – compared to only 27 percent who had a positive impression. Thirty-eight percent of those surveyed had a negative view of the Democratic party – compared to 35 percent who viewed Democrats in a positive light.
Talk about fertile ground for third party – or at the very least independent candidates not beholden to either establishment’s failed dogma.
The Wall Street Journal/ NBC poll was conducted from March 5-9. A thousand adults were surveyed, and its margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percent.

Duh…but it really means nothing because he lied BEFORE the 2012 election…Now any recovery or reclamation effort has to wait at least 2 years, maybe 4.
If we can take the Senate, and make the House majority Conservative, with a hatred for what Obama stands for, it makes a difference.
Getting numbers to defeat him and the democrats is ALL that matters. “I told you so” is empty, if you care about what Obama has done to our country…
Overturning his mess will mean something…
Getting numbers to defeat him

Too late. You lost that battle twice. HAHAHAHAHA!

National polls are meaningless, especially in district races. Rs fare better than national polls ever indicate. And in statewide (Senate) races, off-year, Conservatives do MUCH better…
2010 we defeated Obama in a large way…and it’s why we’ve been able to block some of his dangerous takeover attempts.
If your corrupt messiah not on the ballot, it’s hard to get the criminals, multiple-voters and illegals to come out. That’s why we should get him good in 2014. And the House and Senate will be more Paul and Cruz Conservative…Thank God…(and I do pray we begin to heal this Obama-damaged land)….
National polls are meaningless

Personally, I suspect reality is a hoax as well.
National polls are meaningless
Nate Silver must seem like a psychic or a fortune teller to you, then. Either that, or an evil Democrat election rigging mastermind. Probably both. Definitely both.
Typical liberal dumb@$$. Read ALL of it.
Typical liberal dumb@$$

Dan Akroyd has nothing on you!
As much as GrandTango spouts total nonsense, he is actually right. The Republicans finally do have the numbers to beat Obama. Those numbers are 2008 and 2012. Obama doesn’t stand a chance getting reelected now! CHECKMATE DEMOCRATS!
:(
A new Bloomberg Poll finds President Obama “is rebounding from record-low approval ratings as he remedies the botched rollout of his health-care website and moves past the budget standoffs of the last several years.”
“Less than eight months before the November midterm elections, Americans are evenly split, with 48% approving of Obama’s job performance, up from 42% in December — the biggest positive change of his presidency… He’s also registering an improved favorability rating at 49%, the highest since last June.”

Fifty-one percent of Americans favor retaining the Affordable Care Act with “small modifications,” while 13 percent would leave the law intact and 34 percent would repeal it. That’s the highest level of public acceptance for the law yet in the Bloomberg poll.
You have been smoking some bad stuff!
What do you recommend?
I posted this the other day along the same vein.

Whatever you do, though, don’t bring up Obamacare while on a comedy show with a plump, bearded man with a few plants. That really pisses them off.
Damn! does that mean Bush is the better president after all???
I’ve often thought it’s a greater crime against humanity to wage a war based on lies for trillions of dollars charged on the credit card that leads to immediate and palpable economic disaster than to attempt to provide health care for that same nation.
In all fairness, they both suck ass. They both did or are doing the bidding of their NWO handlers in moving this country closer and closer to economic destruction. They have done well.
They may both suck ass, but Bush used an industrial vacuum to satisfy his masters.
No argument there.
Your local AFL-CIO (and Wall Street banker) says “ummm yeah..it’s that Bush guy”.
The point is what kind of America do you want – not what kind of asshole do you want.
The bad thing is, in most elections (national, state, local) anymore, it is a contest between one asshole and another or others. When all we have to chose from is assholes, it kind of becomes a question of “which asshole do we want?”
Yes, but that’s not what we should be discussing *here* – we should be discussing solutions and building a consensus.. at least then we could choose the asshole who promises to implement those solutions – and lose his job if he doesn’t.
If we can get enough people to agree on a direction *that makes sense* – we might be able to interest power brokers into believing we’re really serious about it, and that we won’t accept bullshit as a response.
Who in the hell let Bachmann get away with saying all that shit without saying something like “who is *this* bimbo?” They actually accepted her as someone that mattered.. well *someone* did, and no one seemed to notice – “Hey! look! we elected a cockroach!”
Rather than discussing the issues, we seem to talk about things which have little to do with our own best interests… perhaps because at base, our underlying philosophies have gone unexamined in the presence of a dialectic.
“Are we really going to turn the nation over to the 1% and a bunch of pig farmers who think they *won*?”
You think you’ve a choice, an option, some control, etc. You’ve none. The thing is, this little charade our masters have going isn’t going to last forever. They just better hope they’ve found themselves a seat before the music stops playing.
The soviets had the right idea at the Winter Palace.
Of course reforming health care is worse than pissing trillions away in the Middle East, defense contractors and Halliburton don’t make money on a cancer patient being able to get health insurance.
Any idiot knows that.
All Obama had to do was be not as bad as Bush. That should have been so easy, even a democrat could do it. There’s a reason he’s been a major disappointment.

I know – it was such a low bar that a chicken with its legs cut off could clear it. All Obama had to do is show up, and stay away from pretzels.
He took home the gold in the special Olympics of politics just by being able to pronounce “nuclear.”
A zero is better than what we have now.
If only Republicans could count that high.
Too bad the “us vs them” crap only really leads us to one big loser..”US”..as the American public.
For some reason many seem to view what our elected leaders do as some type of football game, where the moe “points” your red (or blue) team determines your own self worth.
The problem is no mater what either team does, WE lose.
How about changing the discussion away from religion and war, and start talking about jobs and health care – doing *that* right, rather than not at all.
A zero is what we had last time.
As I said a Zero is better than what we have now!
I know a guy who remembers when the Republican Party had advocates that were educated – since I showed up on the internets, I have seen a few rational Republicans (who were ashamed of what the Party has become, and wondered themselves where the intellectual base went)..
you know, with a good sense of humor and the ability to detach themselves, and discuss their paranoid delusions as if they were sane.. but in all, Damned Tango seems to be the intellectual height of the majority of Republicans… sociopaths like Squishy and the anonymous name changer..
boors whose intellectual legs grow too short to even reach the ground, whose main purpose seems to empty their spleen in revenge of a society which allowed their mothers to prostitute themselves, succumbing to drugs in the 80’s after their 60’s hippy chick days left them without a mate, and jobs as strippers became less lucrative, and descended into hopelessness as “liberals” drunk and passed out while little Bobby struggled his way through school, beaten by one itinerant father after another, a paperback of “Atlas Scrugged” in his back pocket..
Ah, I’ve heard of the days of the General.. .when *real* issues were discussed, and wars were waged in the heavens… within oceans of genius.. .in the skies beyond good and evil… sociopaths against the truly good, with the innocent the prize…
Bez – eyes glowing red through black steel helmet, upon an obsidian steed – nostrils blowing steam, at bridle upon a pile of headless Bushies, battle ax dripping blood onto the field…
ah… those were the days.
Good Times!
I rather enjoy watching you waste your breath on Grand Tango.
He’s not wasting his breath on GrandTango, we all know GT doesn’t read anyways.
lol…then how is it he’s not wasting his breath? Or keystrokes I suppose…
Send me your next social security check, and we’ll just forget you asked.
lol…I have no idea what that means, but you know what? Chicken butt.
lol…I have no idea what that means

ok.. let’s try it this way.. open your pay pal account, and transfer one hundred dollars to my email address… and we’ll call it even.
Why pay for the cow when I’m getting the milk for free?
Maybe with Grand Tango around that’s a bad analogy…metaphorically speaking.

Damned Tango is the next rung on the evolutionary tree… he milks himself.
I take paypal!
oh.. and if you haven’t caught on by now, Damned Tango is Will’s sock puppet. He’s used to help increase the post count.
All of us old timers know that.
“anonymous” not necessary.
“I have seen a few rational Republicans ”
I’ll bet those rational ones you refer to think the same way you do, in “Will speak” they would be called ‘RINO’s I suppose.

not at all – they’re just as wrong as you are… but they defend their points of view rationally, instead of with school yard chants.
So what would be an example of a school yard chant?
Thinly veiled “that’s what you are, but what am I?”, or “bounces off me but sticks to you!” or “I’ll bet the only people that you like are the ones just like you!”
Ah, I see, you mean shallow diatribe and retort. Well here’s one that will infuriate you, it’s not just Republicans or Democrats…it’s almost EVERYONE. Banality surrounds us, envelopes us, keeps us *warm*. :)
I’d say get used to it, it’s what a large percentage of the world has to offer unfortunately.
opium.
“If only Republicans could count that high.”
Wow – with all that now you’ve got ME depressed..!!
It’s a terrible situation, man… It’s like being born too late, AND too early!
“BARACK OBAMA IS TANKING”… tanking Allah each day for the endless luxury vacations and golf games he and his family get to enjoy on our dime.
After reading comments I’ve decided to dedicate myself to drinking. Maybe my world will make more sense.
