What a shame. What a shock. President Obama’s approval rating in the latest Rasmussen poll is down to 45%. How do you suppose the spinmeister’s in the media will deliver this kind of news? Could it be because of his ridiculous stretching out of a decision on Afghanistan? Or maybe it’s the terrible healthcare plan that he seems determined to ram down the American people’s collective throat. Maybe it’s all of the above.
Obama’s approval index rating is -15, with 27% strongly approving. Democrats are still firmly in the tank with 81% approving while only 33% of unaffiliated voters like how the President is doing. One thing’s for sure, Obama has had some rough days of late.
Whether it be his non-decision decision on Afghanistan or the perception that the democrats will pass healthcare against the will of the people. Or maybe it was that bow in Japan, that didn’t help much either.
Throw in Congress asking Tim Geithner to resign and you have yourselves the makings of a pretty rough year coming up for Obama.
The Rasmussen poll also says that 53% of Americans think the government will do too much when trying to fix the Nation’s economic problems. I’ll throw this one in for free, I think they’ll do too much while trying to “fix” healthcare. Can anyone say overreach?
This Rasmussen poll showing Obama’s approval rating at 45% is just a harbinger of things to come for the Democrats and Obama in 2010.

Throw in Climategate and his and the msm’s non-response to the biggest scientific scandal in the world. No Bambam goes to Copenhagen. But I guess they will have to figure out how to gloss this over while continuing to pull trillions out of our economy to line their pockets.
Climategate is destined to hit and lets see how far his numbers go when Americans and people of the world realize that they are trying to pull the biggest scam in history.

They’re basically acting as if the story doesn’t exist Deborah, Al Gore’s still running around charging $500 dollar a plate lectures on Global Warming. What a joke.
