The latest poll says that "President Obama tops Republican contenders in matchups" and here's why:
Nearly half of voters -- 47 percent -- approve of the job Obama is doing as president, while 45 percent disapprove. That’s little changed from last month when 48 percent approved and 45 percent disapproved (February 6-9, 2012). More here.Why, America?! Why!?
All moral and social issues aside, let's talk about money, America.
At worst, we are money-obsessed materialistic society. So... Let's talk money. Obama thinks it grows on trees. It doesn't. Why can't the average American see the debt crisis and how Obama is perpetrating it? Maybe it's because the average American lives like the federal government - living outside of their means. Ready for the next hand-out. Living irresponsibly. So they think, "What? The government is spending money it doesn't have... ha! I do that. Oh well. I'm sure it will be fine."
Meanwhile, the economy remains stagnant. Oil prices rise. And what does Obama do? Why fill out his March Madness Brackets, of course! Mr. President, nobody cares.
Please tell me, oh dear average American, that you are smarter than that! ... but polls don't lie. Or do they?
I thought I read that Obama's numbers are at an all time low, something like 41% due to the $5 a gallon gas prices. It's sad, but the pocket book issues always get people's attention in ways that the other issues do not. But it cuts both ways. The manufactured "War on Women" and "Contraception Controversy" that the Democrats were trying to milk for political points turned out to be duds. I think people were just so disgusted by the full-fledged hypocrisy on display, as the left excoriated people like Rush Limbaugh, but said virtually nothing about Bill Maher and the horrible things he regularly says about conservative women.
ReplyDeleteNiall, check out the recent poll by the Washington Post. It shows Obama's approval rating at an all-time low, over gas prices. If anything, his numbers are moving around. He is certainly not at a stable 47 percent approval rating.
