POLL: 2014 LOOKS WORSE FOR DEMS THAN 2010

It’s never been worse for President Obama in the Washington Post/ABC News poll, which finds him at a 41 percent job approval rating, about 13 points below his standing in the poll at this time in 2010, the year when his party got creamed in midterm elections. We’ve talked about the tsunami alert for Democrats this fall, but the sirens are getting too loud even for partisans and wishful thinkers on the left to ignore. There is no common measure so predictive of a party’s performance in congressional races than the job approval rating of a president of the same party. And Obama is looking increasingly like a toxic asset for Democrats desperate to cling to a Senate majority.

[Matters foreign and domestic - WaPo: “Just 42 percent approve of [President Obama’s] handling of the economy, 37 percent approve of how he is handling the implementation of [ObamaCare] and 34 percent approve of his handling of the situation involving Ukraine and Russia.”]

Out of pocket - The Washington Post/ABC News poll was heralded by Democrats last month when it showed opposition to ObamaCare softening and the nation evenly divided on the law. That has evaporated. Support for the law dropped 5 points, while opposition remained firm. Why? Fifty-eight percent of respondents said ObamaCare is causing overall health costs in the country costs to rise, but a worse harbinger for Democrats this fall: 47 percent of respondents said the law will increase their own health costs, while just 8 percent said they would pay less because of the law. The Post has it right in describing last month’s results: “That finding was more positive for the administration than most other polls at the time. Democrats saw it as a possible leading indicator of a shift in public opinion, but that has not materialized.”

while I am not sure the thread title is fair.. or warranted..

this lack of support does not surprise me.

but what really does is that it is still this high..

I am shocked that even 37% still approve of his handling of the economy..

In his time in office everything he did (which is darn little).. has turned out a total failure..

he has slowed and stalled any real efforts to get energy independence.

he has destroyed any vestige of immigration law we had..

he has devastated most folks health insurance,.. and raised prices to level few working class can afford..

and that is just a short list..

abroad it gets worse

his meddling has sent most of the middle east into shambles and chaos..

he has destroyed any hope of Iraq or Afghanistan ever becoming civilized nations

then there is his actual meddling.. the most reported was Egypt ,.. but the actual countries effect are still either struggling or "havens" for radical Islamic terrorists.
in Tunisia,[1] Egypt (twice),[2] Libya,[3] and Yemen;[4] civil uprisings had erupted in Bahrain[5] and Syria;[6] major protests had broken out in Algeria,[7] Iraq,[8] Jordan,[9] Kuwait,[10] Morocco,[11] and Sudan;[12] and minor protests had occurred in Mauritania,[13] Oman,[14] Saudi Arabia,[15] Djibouti,[16] Western Sahara,[17] and the Palestinian territories.

Weapons and Tuareg fighters returning from the Libyan civil war stoked a simmering conflict in Mali which has been described as "fallout" from the Arab Spring in North Africa.[18] The sectarian clashes in Lebanon were described as a spillover of violence from the Syrian uprising and hence the regional Arab Spring

not to mention iran on the verge of getting a nuke..

not satisfied with the chaos his administration pushed for there he moved on to Europe.. and now we have the Ukraine on the verge of a civil war..

so really why would anyone approve of him still..

and I am sure we could come up with a list a half dozen pages long of obama mistakes and failures..

But can anyone name a success?

Why?

Did you account for the number of points is he spotted in each poll so they aren't sued by the justice department?

The percentage of true socialists in the US?

The mooslems? He just spent time with the most popular religious leader of his home country, the Pope...... sorry, I mean the iman man. I keep forgetting that he was from Kenya before he was from the US.

And the racists?

I think that would pretty much account for it.

I could understand the high 20's, would account for many of those who would never leave him"



but to see it still in the high 30's is to me a bit shocking.



boy was ol Mit wrong... :lol: ,..

Remember my prediction of the pendulum swinging as far right, as it did left?

Wait for it...


(and NO, I do not mean "radical right", as OT would claim, but hopefully, the momentum will bring the US back to the centre, instead of far left, as it has been for quite a few years.

Yep- The RCP average of surveys has Obama at 43.3... The conservative Rasmussen Reports has him at 48% approval- Gallup at 44...

RCP also has the average of Congressional vote at 42.4% for Dems and 41.6% for Repubs- a dead heat- which surprises me as usually the party of a lame duck presidential candidate takes a killing in the off year elections...

What doesn't surprise me tho is that Obama is no where close to breaking the low approval rating GW had just before the 2008 election... His Gallup survey numbers then were at 25% approval - dropping lower than Gallups lowest ever on Jimmy Carter (28%) and only one point higher than Gallups lowest on Nixon (24%) ...

Yep-- I forgot---everybody and everything is against you and out to get you... :roll: I feel sorry for rightwingernuts- they live a life in a world of paranoia and fear that everyone that is out to get them .. :wink: :p :lol:

They look pretty close to me to what happened in the real world - GW was at 90% approval right after 9-11-- but had sunk to 25% by Oct. 2008 after the world learned of his lies and how he had apparently been asleep at the wheel while the economy imploded and he had brought on the Bush Bust...
