Latest update .... From Zogby Obama approval rating at % 45.3 President Barack Obama's popularity has plummeted to a record low, with just 45 percent of voters now approving of his performance, according to the latest Zogby International poll. Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the president's job performance, just 45.3 percent of likely voters say they approve. That compares with 50.5 percent who disapprove of the job Obama is doing. Of greatest concern to Obama may well be his decline among all-important independent voters. Just 37.5 percent of self-identified independents say they approve of how Obama is handling the presidency. That compares with 59.2 percent of independents who disapprove. He's not at the Bush number of 34% ... but he's getting there.

reply to post by FlyersFan 38-59 among independents. Ouch. That would basically be a reversal of his win among that group in the fall. Its also roughly in line with the numbers I've seen from both Gallup and Rasmussen. The latest number I've seen from Rasmussen was on the 10th, with Obama at 42% among independents and with a 22-40 split in that group on strongly approve and strongly disapprove. Meanwhile, this Gallup poll has two separate measures for Independents; one puts him at 46, the other, 'Pure Independents', at 39. I haven't seen a detailed updated poll from either of these this week, but regardless, its not looking good. If they weren't concerned about it before, they'd better be now. Evidence is mounting that they're bleeding support from independents at an alarming rate. Without them, the moderate Dems in Congress won't back his agenda and Obama himself could well be creating a big problem for himself looking forward to 2012. [edit on 21-8-2009 by vor78]

Doesn't matter - the guy is one term wonder! All of the dumb suckers that believed the hype have obviously woken up with a really bad hang-over. They're all swearing that they won't be fooled again! What should be really interesting are the mid-terms in 2010. I'm prediciting an absolute Democrat massacre. Somehow though I'm not too fearful of the Republicans taking over. I think we'll see a new anomoly in elections - a strong showing for independents and third-party candidates.

I agree.... New thinking and thinkers.... PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN PALIN !!!!! and the "Joe's" of the world. Why do you think the main stream media (leftist/liberal leaning) are constantly trying to destroy her and make her look bad? FEAR. I am pretty sure PALIN won't go to D.C. and, oh say: 1: Get a gay lover and let him run an escort agecny service out of the public paid apartment Sen Barney Frank. 2: Get drunk and drive into a road barrier in front of the Cap Bldg (Kennedy). 3: Get a person drunk, then drive into a water source-AND TAKE OFF & NOT REPORT (another Kennedy (TED). 4: Pick up or hit on congressional pages of either sex 5: Have sex (of any type-with anyone NOT their spouse etc) in the White House or any other gov't facility. 6: Take sweet loans deals from Fanny & Freddie. 7: Have 1000's of dollars in her home freezer. 8: Having affairs with movie stars. You got the picture. It is time for us to get "us" in there. At least she has the b@lls to get up there and try. Sorry to have turned this into a Palin rant but take her name out and put yours in etc. Honestly, it is time for the current power elites to get the he** out.
