Forums - Politics Discussion - OBAMA approval PLUMMETS to a dreadful 40%

http://www.gallup.com/poll/148739/Obama-Approval-Drops-New-Low.aspx

PRINCETON, NJ -- President Obama's job approval rating is at a new low, averaging 40% in July 26-28 Gallup Daily tracking. His prior low rating of 41% occurred several times, the last of which was in April. As recently as June 7, Obama had 50% job approval.

Implications

The inability of U.S. lawmakers to agree on the debt ceiling has apparently shaken Americans' confidence in the economy and now seems to be taking its toll on the president's public support, with Obama's approval rating at a new low. As the debt ceiling talks drag on, his ratings, as well as those of Congress (last measured at 18% in early July), could decline further. By the same token, if an agreement is reached, it could restore some degree of public confidence in U.S. political leaders and in the economy.

Well it's great to see people FINALLY coming to their senses about the worst president in American history Barack Hussein Obama.

In the first 19 months of the Obama administration, the federal debt held by the public increased by $2.5260 trillion, which is more than the cumulative total of the national debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan.

I am now ashamed to be American because I voted for hope and  change, not politics as usual.

I can't wait for the obama nightmare to end, and I just pray we can recover as soon as he is thrown out of office or impeached

You should be ashamed of just biting on propaganda without bothering to check the facts.

I recommend checking how much debt was actually added by the various presidents.

Obama Added More to National Debt in First 19 Months Than All Presidents from Washington Through Reagan Combined, Says Gov’t Data

US debt has almost doubled under Obama

http://oregoncatalyst.com/10257-debt-doubled-obama.html

“Our debt is now bigger than China’s entire economy.”

A government report released yesterday revealed the national debt has shot up from 40% of the economy at the end of 2008 to 70% at the end of this year. The report, the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) 2011 Long-Term Budget Outlook, also noted that this kind of spending growth will cause the federal debt to grow to unsustainable levels.

Under the more optimistic CBO scenario, the federal debt held by the public (does not include debt held by the federal government itself) would grow from 69% of the economy this year to 84% in just under 25 years. Under their more realistic scenario, the debt would exceed the size of the entire economy within 10 years, and would come close to doubling the economy in less than 25 years.

The options outlined by the CBO are: “increase revenues substantially as a percentage of GDP, decrease spending significantly from projected levels, or adopt some combination of those two approaches.”

On the heels of the CBO’s budget report, Stuart Varney of the Fox Business Network, reported that “Our debt is now bigger than China’s entire economy.”

Democrats controlled both houses of Congress from 2008-2010, as well as the White House. They still control the US Senate and the White House, and the Republicans now control the House of Representatives. Democrats took control of both houses of Congress in 2006, two years before the end of George Bush’s second term.

The current US debt is $9.7 trillion. That doesn’t include debt held by the federal government itself, which is another $4.6 trillion, bringing the total public debt to $14.3 trillion. The current US economy (GDP) is $14.8 trillion.

When President Obama took office on Jan 20, 2009, the US debt was $6.3 trillion; debt held by the federal government itself was $4.3 trillion, bringing the total public debt at the time to $10.6 trillion. The total US economy (GDP) in mid-2008 was $13.9 trillion.

Bush was  A HUGE DEBTOR too.

IMO Bush is the 3rd worst president in history behind Obama and Jimmy Carter



does the avg american even understand economics to even make an assumption as "how well the president is handling their economy.
Or is it that they chomp on the first thing their respective leaders say and take that as gospel.
Long and short gallup poles are shiite

Gallup is the outlier.



This does not necessarily mean a gain for the Republicans.



I think the fact you mention Obama's middle name tells a lot about you.


I may be a mere European, but if I had my way I'd have Obama replaced by a more capable democrat.
