Gallup Has Obama Up by 17 Points

While the hysterical Right Wing, lead by Fox News and Conservative talk radio continue to make it sound like Barack Obama is wildly unpopular, Gallup continues to show that he is quite the opposite. As a matter of fact, President Obama is still the most popular elected political figure in America. The only way the Right Wing can make any argument with these numbers are to compare Obama to Obama. Nobody is 80% to 15%. You notice that they never compare Obama to Romney, Palin, Pawlenty or Gingrich. That would be embarrassing for them.

Remember, the numbers to match President Obama to are his landslide numbers in the election just one year ago, 53% to 46%. Plus 7 points.

Today, Obama is 55% to 38%. Plus 17 points. Gallup has tracked President Obama since his Inauguration. Discounting the first few honeymoon months, the numbers continue to fluctuate between a plus 8 points and a plus 20 points, never dipping below the plus 7 point margin that gave him his sweeping, landslide victory in 2008.

In short, a large majority of Americans are still in his corner, and so am I.

me off some times, but I still support him. I was under no illusions about my wife and Obama. My wife has her quirks but that is not a big problem. Obama is kinda conservative, but I can live with that.

I find it harder and harder to suffer fools so it makes me feel better to know people still approve.

the phrase: "Popular War-Time President" that I heard a thousand times a day on the cable networks with Little Lord Pissypants was pResident.

'slow and steady wins the race' and another one: 'do you want it done fast or do you want it done right?'

Is Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh collectively soiling themselves.

:)

rating?

You.

Don't speak for me.

supported this kind of health care reform. If a Republican President and Congress were proposing this exact same legislation, I think very, very few here would support it.

Once again, speak for yourself - I stand (as a small business employee) to benefit greatly from this new public option - this could be a life-saver for me.

The fight is not over, I refuse to complain.



Life is not " My way or the Highway!"

...be better for our lives and well being.

I might disagree with them, but I will always be happy to see them have better approval numbers than the Republicans.

Plus, I think Obama would agree that we could do better on health care.

I've been called once to take poll with some smuck asking leading questions . It means nothing unless you want it to. I'm waiting for a poll asking if we should get out of these damn wars which will never come.

Not only is Obama still widely loved by the majority of the American public, but even if he were universally hated it wouldn't matter one bit. Why? Because in order for the Republicans to capitalize on how much he is hated, they have to run a candidate against him capable of beating him in an election. And here's the news, people: THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.

There is quite simply NOT ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN that is capable of knocking off Obama in a general election. Not one that I've seen, anyway. Sarah Palin? She's such a threat to beat Obama that I'm actually BEGGING the Republicans to run her in 2012 (no joke, I'm thinking about going down to my polling place on Super Tuesday, 2012, and voting for Sarah Palin--Ohio allows you to vote in the primaries without declaring Party affiliation, and since I won't have a Democratic Primary to vote in..........) She'd get beat so bad that even Walter Mondale would laugh at her. And she's supposed to be the Republican Party's heavy hitter of the moment. Then you have the 2008 retreads, Huckabee and Romney, who'd get slaughtered even worse than Palin. Then you have the "Who?" candidates, Jindal and Pawlenty.

So the right-wing mouth breathers can make anti-Obama signs and bumper stickers, and write letters to the editor to their tiny, black hearts' content. Unless they can come up with a candidate capable of knocking Obama out of office, they've got NOTHING. And that's exactly what they have in the Republican vault of candidates right now. NOTHING.

when the Repukes nominated McCrazy over HuckaJesus. Huckabee projected an air of being comfortable in his own skin, of being likable and being coherent. Palin struck me all along as an airhead, incapable of putting together even a coherent sentence, much less a coherent paragraph.

some RWs today. I'm lovin' it.
