STAFF REPORT

Last Updated: 12:52 PM, December 14, 2009

President Obama’s approval rating fell to its lowest ever level in the daily Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll published Monday.

The telephone poll of 1,500 likely voters found only 44 percent said they somewhat approved of Obama’s performance, a new low in his 11-month presidency. A majority of voters, 55 percent, said they disapproved of the job Obama was doing.

The lowest his approval rating had fallen before was to 45 percent, once in early September and once in late November.

Opposition to health care reform championed by Obama remained stable at 56 percent, the poll found, with just 40 percent in favor of the legislation.

These are still more than he actually deserves. You guys are too lenient on your chair holders.. See you gave two turns to W.Bush who wasn't capable to serve the country even once.

in person i lik obama.
the question however is that will he be able (allowed) to perform.

now obviously there are times when US and Pak interests are not in line with each other.

When any politician starts with 80% approval ratings he or she has no where but to go downwards after words as it's impossible to have 100%.

He gave them too many expectations, the "word" change had been coined too often but he actually made people believe he could do it. This isnt the approval rating...its the disappointment rating. I wish him luck though, he is a good man

 

[Awesome]

I think with the way the US is going if any politician needs approval of his people, he or she will cut back on all the foreign expeditions and focus upon rebuilding the economy, put those 10% (at least) unemployed Americans to work. America needs to spend less than its making. Such simple things have to be corrected.

Isn't 44% good for Obama, because the day his support hits 80% he would be making policies in the interest of the people of U.S and not the Zionists who fund elections. No support from the zionist lobby means no more money for the next elections.

Depite approval rating, do you think Osama (I mean, Obama) would get a chance in second term election to become President again ?

American are very short-sighted and "memoried". Obama's re-election will be determined in the summer of 2012: (1) by USA economic conditions, especially unemployment, (2) by the course of the war in Afghanistan, especially the number of USA soldiers KIA/month. If these numbers are higher than 6% and 50, respectively, I don't think he will get a second term. Of course, the Republicans could nominate a bozo, and give him a second term by default. (Note: the USA public did not trust John Kerry to fight the WoT, so narrowly re-elected Bush in 2004.)

Indeed thats why 44% of Americans have said they want Bush back.

Gallup Poll: 44 Percent Of Americans Want Bush Back


By Dan Carter
December 15, 2009 "Air America" -- December 10, 2009 -- A new Gallup poll released today found that President Obama’s approval rating continues to dip. But the poll also uncovered a much more disturbing fact: 44 percent of Americans would be happier with George W. Bush back in the White House. My, how quickly we forget.

If the phrase “George W. Bush back in the White House” doesn’t make your blood run cold, it should. It seems an exercise in masochism to devote an entire article to rehashing the embarrassingly catastrophic nightmare that was the Bush Presidency just to remind our readers what life was like only a short year ago. So, if you are one of the 44 percent who may be thinking to yourself right now “that Bush guy wasn’t too bad, at least I had a job,” consider the opinions of those who are paid to study presidents: historians.

Over a year ago, History News Network conducted a poll of 109 professional historians, asking them to rank the presidents of the United States. A full 61 percent found Bush to be the worst president of all time. That list includes other presidential stand-outs like: William Henry Harrison, who spent most his 31 days in office sick with pneumonia; Richard Nixon, impeached for using the FBI for political espionage; Herbert Hoover, who stood by as the Great Depression destroyed the country; and Warren G. Harding, who kind of sealed his fate with this remark "I am not fit for this office and should never have been here." And that's not to mention the litany of other pro-slavery presidents who were on the wrong side of history. Yet the vast majority of historians found George W. Bush to be worse than even these duds.

Over time, after the sting of two endless wars, the willful disregard for science, the erosion of Americans' civil liberties and the disgrace of torture wears off, Bush will probably take his rightful place in history as the 6th or 7th biggest presidential disaster ever. But it is exactly this sting that we should suck up just a little bit longer--until, say, December of 2012.

And if we don’t? Well, there is another, more feminine version of Bush just waiting to take advantage of a forgetful and historically ignorant public. She’s already amassing a huge following. Need a hint?

Maybe the British newspaper The Daily Mirror had it right when, after Bush was reelected in 2004, it asked its readers, “…Can 59,054,087 People Be So DUMB?”

Yes, we can.
