Brrrr! It is not just the temperature that is dropping fast...

I see a lot of poll discussions on here lately. My take...it's too early in the game...the country was in deep trouble when Obama too office and we're working our way out of it but it is taking time. Speaking of polls, I've participated in three telephone polls in the past couple of months for CBS news. So, every time you see Katie Couric cite a poll you can rest assured that some of the opinions expressed were by lil ole me!

Hi whiteheather, your link does not work, please provide a synopsis.

Yeah, it's really a lot worse then that when you compare with other presidencies at this time in their first terms. Rasmussen is the only poll I trust as they progressively show they are trustworthy. They really spell out how they conduct the polls, they get ignored and ridiculed by the left when the data is negative for their side and they just love bringing it up when their is a republican in office. The thing is if you watched the polling I saw how the trend of Obamas policies he supported were less popular than him and it is not surprising that his personal approval rating is dropping. The fact of the matter is that a lot of people blindly trust in this man who speaks like he's going to take such good care of the poor and sick. The fact is the bills coming out signed by his hand are only hurting them more. Obama has already stated he doesn't care if he's a one term president as long as he passes what he wants passed. He knows that the American majority do not agree... the hope in the change Obama promised is dwindling. Hillary may be the nominee next election.

Well lret hope so. But ya still have those die hards that wont admit they were wrong about him!

I really don't put too much stock in daily polls and I REALLY don't put much stock in Rasmussen, especially since they showed the one on Fox the other day regarding climate change that added up to 120%. However, just giving this poll the benefit of the doubt and taking their word for it, I still don't think it means much at all at this point. A lot could change, and I'll concede it could go either way, between now and 2012 and even between now and next November's elections. In these kinds of daily polls, where only a relatively small number of people are questioned each day, there are probably as many reasons the respondents answer as they do as there are respondents. Some will say they "strongly disapprove" of Obama because they think he's too liberal and some will say it's because he's moved too far to the right; some will say it's because he's pushing for health care reform and others will say he isn't pushing hard enough; some will say he's too hawkish and some will say he's "appeasing our enemies". And then there are those who simply don't like HIM and feel, no matter what he does, that "he spells doom for our country". I think some people expected "instant gratification" which never happens. There are signs that the economy is recovering according to most economists. "Technically" the recession is over. However, that doesn't mean much to the 10% of Americans who are unemployed nor does the fact that unemployment is usually the last thing to improve at the end of a recession. The fact remains that we went from 700,000 plus jobs being lost to 11,000. Without the stimulus there would have been many more jobs lost. I know that to be a fact in my own state. Annie

So sorry, I have not kept up, been a little busy. I just had an argument with a woman--I think it was a woman, defending our president-------- I think I told her pretty well what I've read here, but hope she reads this post. Her arguments for this walking, talking idiot were quite weak and proved she's been Obamaized--- and in answer to your question, yes, I think most of America is waking up to the fact Obama is putting the US in its grave as far as a nation goes. Doom? What a good word for us if he continues. But, thanks for allowing me to get caught up !! I'll do better next time when I haven't been so busy. hugs,quita

Until 0bama's Presidential Approval Index is more along the lines of -50, I'd say the country has not wakened up enough.

I heard about this poll, and I think they are on the ball. But eve if 42 percent say that Obama is wrong, there are still the others that felt Obama was America's gift to mankind because of his looks and his far left democratic views and he will give them what they want. Now if you can only convince them that me me does not always work, then things will get better.
