WTF???
Obama Approval Rating
7/14-7/16:

GALLUP
Approve: 44%
Disapprove: 49%

RASMUSSEN
Approve: 45%
Disapprove: 54%

If last week was supposedly such a "good" week for Obama (people are supporting him more than the Republicans in the debt crisis showdown) why is his support continuing to fall? We cannot win next year with numbers like this! :banghead:

1. Polls can not be trusted as far as you can throw them
they are notoriously skewed to the right and the right will do anything to win, they are not above fixing polls.

3. why is his support continuing to fall?
Because he made a colossal mistake by telling the world he would even put Social Security and Medicare on the table in the debt ceiling PR.

Obama isnt God, he cant touch the Third Rail and not get hurt.

4. Well, I'm certainly telling him to listen to the American people...
When he does, let's check the same polls, which should act as a control group.

You are right... we can't win when we act like one big unified fascist light party, turning the other way to hide Elizabeth Warren, and continue Bush tax cuts... None of this is sane. NONE OF IT!

Listening, staffers? Tell the boss.

5. The numbers will change several times before the 2012 election.

Look at the chart on this link: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html

They go up then down then up then down then up ... etc :)

It's normal.
