Are Americans wising up to his shenanigans? It appears that Teh One is losing ground. There are now more Americans that “Strongly Disapprove” than those that “Strongly Approve” of him. It will be interesting to see how much his popularity continues to slide as we approach the new election cycle.
At any rate, here’s the American Thinker’s take on it:
Our Melting President
By Bruce Walker
Slowly, methodically, consistently, the reliable Rasmussen Poll has been tracking the most vital numbers of the Obama Presidency. General, soft numbers like “Do you approve of the way the president is handlings his job?” really mean nothing. In times of crisis, most people will answer “yes.” This is particularly true when a young articulate president who is splattered over every single magazine in every grocery checkout line with happy photos with his wife and kids, and when every tough question — both of them — in his press conferences is simply ignored.
It is not the soft, fluffy feelings about Obama that really matter. It is the intense feelings about him. Obama began his presidency with a lot of very enthusiastic support. About forty-five percent of Americans “strongly approved” of the job he was doing, while an anemic fifteen percent of Americans “strongly disapproved” of the job he was doing. In a couple of months, that gap between the “strongly approve” and “strongly disapprove” closed to a gap of between eight and ten points. The number who strongly approved glided down into the high thirties, while the number who strongly disapproved just about doubled, into the low thirties.
