Obama Approval Rating Goes Up To 67%

Of course, after about one month on the job even George W. Bush had a 62% approval rating. So Obama has the support of the fickle mob, for now.

If I were Obama, or one of his supporters, this would be the wrong time to start taking things for granted.

    Obama IS hugely popular… his agenda is not. Less than 50% support it.

    Is everyone in Portland as stupid as you are?

  • bill-tb

    Obama-loons get laid off with the rest.

  • dfwpike

    I would expect a bump in the polls after Teleprompter Obama gave a speech the other night. From here on out his poll numbers will go downhill due to his anti-capitalist policies, spending, and the fear on Wall Street.

    Noteworthy up here on Wall Street, a great many Obama supporters — especially hedge-fund types who voted for “change” — are becoming disillusioned with the performances of Obama and Treasury man Geithner. There is a growing sense of buyer’s remorse.

    good for him. it doesnt quite make up for the last two years of our liberal congress setting record lows.

    Bottom line, Obama is still wildly popular though many have uncertainties about how to fix the mess the republicans have gotten us into.

    And how do we know people blame republicans? Election losses in 2006 and 2008!

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    In any case, he’s still wildly popular and his agenda has the support of a strong majority.

    Poor conservatives think they can repeat the early 90s. Big disappointment coming for the savages.

  • Buzz

    Just last night i said his approval rating was 68% and got bitch slapped. So your sorry…right?

  • carrick

    As I mentioned on another thread, the Gallup Poll numbers appear aberrant. Rasmussen, who I tend to trust more in any case, sees no such bounce:

    You may have been right. You still deserve the bitch slap though.

    Bottom line, Obama is still wildly popular…

    Now, if he only knew how to lead, govern, or formulate meaningful economic policies and foreign policies…
    Well, he’s popular!

    Meaningless, in a world threatened by Islamic terrorism.

  • jimmypop

    Democrats in Congress are doing quite well, poll-wise.

    Not so much for republicans. People see them for the bitter, obstructionist assholes that they are.

    source?

    Only a stupid as shit conservative would expect the markets to respond favorably to a year-old recession, devastated financial sector, tanking housing market and rising unemployment.

    Did you see that the economy contracted by a near-record amount in 4th quarter 2008? I’m sure the markets ignored that.

    Dumbass.

    President Obama, in his pursuit of liberal big-government spending, has totally neglected the role of the president of the United States in reversing global panic. To the contrary, his every remark and the constant preoccupation of his Cabinet is to heighten the sense of crisis and to escalate the predictions of doom if we do not do as they tell us and raise spending now and taxes later. Instead of being a firewall, reassuring Main Street even as Wall Street crashed, he has become a conduit of panic, spreading the mood of desperation from the stock exchange floor to kitchen tables across the world.

    This was interesting, because enough time has elapsed since President Obama was elected, sworn in and with a couple signature measures under his belt to see the effect his policies are having on the economy. And what better way than to see how the Dow Jones Industrial Average has reacted to some of his biggest days since taking office.

    * November 5, 2008: Dow drops 530 points the day after President Obama is elected.
    * January 20, 2009: Dow drops 359 points the day the President delivers his inaugural address.
    * January 28, 2009: The House passes their stimulus proposal after trading hours. The next day, the Dow drops 224 points.
    * February 9, 2009: President Obama has his first prime-time press conference, followed by Treasury Secretary Geithner’s speech on the credit markets the next day. The Dow drops 381 points on February 10.
    * February 13, 2009: The House passes the conference version of the stimulus bill in the afternoon, and the Dow closes 83 points down. After the Senate passes the final version late in the evening, the Dow drops 343 points the next day.
    * February 17, 2009: The President signs the stimulus bill into law in Denver, CO. The Dow drops 293 points.
    * February 25, 2009: The Dow drops 226 points the day after President Obama delivers his address to a Joint Session of Congress.

    In 2008, the Dow under President Bush averaged a loss of roughly 86 points per week. Since taking office, the Dow under President Obama dropped 1,217 points and has averaged a loss of approximately 202 points per week, or roughly 43 points per trading day. This is a rate approximately 2.5 times greater than under President Bush last year.

    So, it would lead some to believe that Wall Street, investors and American consumers are not responding to President Obama’s tax and spend philosophy.

    His words are creating a depression. He entered office amid a disaster and he is transforming it into a catastrophe, all to pass every last bit of government spending and move us a bit further to the left before his political capital dwindles.

    It appears the right solution for America may be less speeches by the Obama Administration, and more reassurances that the future isn’t all taxes, spending and deficits. That type of language would be a great step to recovery.

    Wall Street doesn’t like Obama.

    That says so much more.

    And for the class-envy leftists filled with hatred (AKA Democrats): America is Wall Street.

    Perhaps you could offer some proof.

    is everyone in ????? as much a republican dumbass as you?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    You think asking “source?” is some kind of magic bullet, LOL!

    Here’s your source: Gallup by way of Rob:

    Congressional Approval Jumps 12 Points To 31%?

    Not to mention the last 2 elections where power was ripped from the hands of republicans.

    But I DID find this:

    Most Americans support Obama’s economic plan: polls

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Large majorities of Americans support President Barack Obama’s plans to revive the economy and his efforts to work across party lines, according to a pair of public opinion polls released on Monday.

    One month into his presidency, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found 68 percent of Americans approve of Obama’s job performance.

    Sixty-four percent of respondents supported the administration’s $787 billion economic stimulus package and the same percentage backed his proposal to prevent housing foreclosures, the Washington Post reported.

    According to a New York Times/CBS News poll, Obama has a 63 percent job approval rating and more than 75 percent of Americans are optimistic about the next four years with him as president.

    The poll results provide Obama with substantial political results as he confronts the U.S. economic challenges and opposition from nearly all Republicans in Congress, The New York Times said.

    is everyone in the shithole you live in as ignorant as you? LOL

  • pparets

    nice try, dino… but you need to use up-to-date polling data… like this Rasmussen poll from February 25th…

    Confidence in the $787-billion economic stimulus plan has fallen four points in the week since President Obama signed it into law, and more voters are prepared to punish their representatives for supporting it.

    Thirty-four percent (34%) of U.S. voters now say the plan will help the economy, while 32% believe it will hurt, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

    Twenty-six percent (26%) say the plan will have little impact on the economy. Eight percent (8%) are undecided.

    A week ago, 38% of voters said the plan will help the economy, while 29% said it will hurt.

    Is everyone in Portland as stupid as you are?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Ah, he’s splitting hairs, I see!

    Well, what’s this? Why it’s a Rasmussen poll from TODAY!

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 38% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty percent (30%) Strongly Disapprove to give Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +8.

    Fifty-six percent (56%) say that Obama is a good or an excellent leader. Just 24% say he is a poor leader.

    While the President’s numbers are down slightly since the inauguration, they remain substantially higher than the ratings for President George W. Bush.

    See PP, that’s the problem with poll-watching day by day. They get confusing and say little.

    Is everyone living in your secret rural shithole as stupid as you?

  • pparets

    dino, that’s just stupid. The issue is whether a majority of people support the stimulus plan.

    We agree that President Obama is hugely popular.

    But you are dead wrong when you imply that his personal popularity extends to his policies.

    Is everyone in Portland as stupid as you Are?

  • Frank Brown

    As you said, it isn’t very hard to get a high approval rating in the first month. We’ll see how high his approval rating is in two years when the economy is still struggling. I think he has some good ideas…but I think the stimulus package was filled with too much government spending!
