Gallup: Obama’s Approval Hits All-Time Lows With Independents, Moderates and Conservative Democrats
President Barack Obama’s job approval ratings hit all-time lows last week among self-described Independents, moderates and conservative Democrats, according to the Gallup poll.
At the same time, Obama’s job approval ratings increased among self-described liberals and liberal Democrats, according to Gallup.
The all-time low job approval ratings for Obama among Independents, moderates and conservative Democrats—and the improvement in his job approval among liberals and liberal Democrats—came during a week in which Obama was negotiating with congressional leaders for legislation to increase the federal government's debt limit.
The trends suggest that Obama’s handling of the debt-limit issue did not improve his standing among those who perceive themselves to be in the middle of the American political spectrum.

Doesn't matter. The repubs just handed Obama a $2.2 trillion...

...re-election fund, which he is looking to add to with yet another "stimulus" plan this fall.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Boehner, McConnell & Co. personally walk it to the Oval Office for him to sign.

Yeah.........that was last weeks polls. He sure was profilin' and Cadillacin' up there in the Rose Garden today.....and lecturing all of us about what he's going to do with his new credit card. The 'da weasel' Reid informed us that 'revenues' were on the way, after Boy Blunder told us how it's going to be with his newfound power and authority.
And as long as the MSM stays in the tank for Barama, it doesn't matter what the polls are, because they'll keep covering his sorry okole and continue to make excuses for what isn't going right, and pumping up anything that they can that looks or sounds like Boy Barry is making better - even if it is just a shell game.
If we don't have Martial Law before our next election, or it doesn't get so illegal and hi-jacked, I'd be looking for a double-dose of what happened in 2010...............but, as you always say, it might be too late. But I"ve seen people drown over here, and somehow survive and come back............I just don't want to use the word 'hope' in any damn sentence, because Blunder has succeeded - at least in my mind - to have bastardized that word so bad that I'm paranoid of using it!!!
