New Lows in the Polls (UPDATE)

  • A week after an NBC News poll showed that the American people had lost faith in Obama's competence and ability to lead, a new CBS News/New York Times poll has even worse news for a president embattled by his own incompetence, arrogance, and failed policies.

    In just one month, the president's job approval rating has shifted a full 9 points against him. Though Obama was still upside on approval by 5 points (43-48%) back in May, he now faces a 14 point deficit of 40-54%.

    In just one month, disapproval of Obama's foreign policy has skyrocketed a full 10 points to a record high of 58%. With only 36% approving, that ties this poll's record low in this category.
Wading in the swamps of Jimmy-Carter-type-numbers. And two more years to damage the country, maybe beyond repair.

UPDATE: More great "hope and change" news:
  • The U.S. economy turned in its worst quarter in five years during the first three months of 2014, shrinking more sharply than previously estimated.

    The nation's gross domestic product in the first quarter fell at a 2.9% annual rate vs. the 1% contraction previously believed, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected a 1.8% drop in output from the fourth quarter.
The economy shrank at nearly THREE TIMES the initial estimate....."unexpectedly" no doubt. Look for more "blame the weather" excuses.

    He would just love to cast aside the constitution and rule by executive fiat.
    I don't think anyone would stop him.
    He and his minions seem to get away with every infraction, no matter how great or costly to this nation.

    C'mon, he can only do so much. He is good at entertaining sports teams at the WH, filling out his basketball bracket, and taking vacations. This empty suit is the laughingstock of the entire world.

    Remember "Fast and Furious" when the administration tried to stage fake gun running offenses along the border to gin up support for Obama's anti-gun policies? Now, another scam is occurring along the border. Thousands of illegal aliens, including many juveniles are crossing the border everyday. It is interesting that the Obama administration was preparing for their entry months before their arrival. The community organizer wants to manufacture a different US population to enlarge the welfare state and to diminish the middle class which is always opposed to the leftists.

    This is the result of low-information voting for someone who was not vetted and had no experience in life, except to be a community organizer.

    On the flipside Obama doesn't care about poll numbers. His agenda is to transform the nation by collapsing it from within; thereby necessitating the evolution into a nation that resembles European socialism.

    What I learned in the Suntimes is that "Disparaging the president is uncalled for". Because racism, obviously. All of us are apparently racists.

    I though the president took an oath to uphold the laws of the constitution. Not to pick and choose which laws to enforce on a whim.

    The illegal immigration scandal is blowing up.

    The bankers never been prosecuted and now there's these top secrete international trade deals TISA going on and when the public realizes the shit they are trying to pull it's very likely that their is gonna be global unrest at a scale never before seen.

    When I seen this

    I said no wonder the military is gearing up to attack it's own citizens doing war games I mean "drills" in all the major us cities.

    Not to worry, his legacy will live on and our Great Grandchildren will be paying for it! Remember he relieved us of White Guilt, and that alone should make us feel good about the tens of thousands of lives lost over his Foreign Policy in places like Africa and the Middle East. His Domestic Policies have caused us to lose free choice in terms of our healthcare, and unemployment may never be reduced to a reasonable level, unless we engage in another war. Are we loving that Hope and Change yet?

    Obama will buy an increase in his poll ratings using taxpayer money. Look for him to forgive student debt in order to bring back young people who are too stupid to understand that their debt isn't going away, they are merely passing their debt burden onto the general public who will end up paying the forgiven debt through increased taxation.

    This is the biggest lying president in our history. He lies so much that he even insults his supporters. He injects himself into issues that should never concern a president and avoids getting involved in things that he should. he surrounds himself with fools and makes America look weak. The IRS scandel/cover-up should scare everyone. Just wait til he's about to leave office and pardons all the crooks. This will be earth shattering. way beyond what Clinton did.

    Can you imagine the $mega-millions in tax payer expense it will take to keep these First Free-loaders lives in the styles they have become accustomed to?

    The Secret Service, the aircraft, the never ending vacations, the entourage of assistants and staffers and all for what.

    After they leave the Whitehouse, do you think the American people can get a look at Obama's real eduction and travel history.

    Ah yes. The REAL danger of Obama is just kicking off. Last term he had a reelection to worry about. This term? No reelection. And even if republicans gain ground on Capitol Hill he can simply keep issuing executive orders and other circumventive techniques all the while blaming congress for lack of compromise. The nightmare is just beginning folks. If he's not beholden to congress or the constitution why would he care about polls?

    After looking at the designated site, in the Tribune,for the George Lucas Museum it appears that the parking garage will be built in the area that the Police Memorial Park is situated.

    I hope that I am wrong.

    STAGFLATION-lower economic growth, higher prices.

    In January, gov prediction for Q1 growth was +2.6% GDP. Todays report, -2.9%. They missed by over 5%!! These #'s are horrible.

    Since they began keeping these stats in 1947, the only time Quarterly GDP has been -1.5% or lower was at the beginning of, or during a recession.

    "But, it was the weather." Yeah, right. +2.6 to -2.9%?!? There aint enough snow at the North Pole to slow Santa Claus down that much.

    Whether you want to believe it or not, the main contributor to the collapsing economy is the cost of Obamacare. You can't take from one to give to another without consequences. Redistribution of wealth(communism) doesn't work. Never has, never will.

    Bury your heads if you like, but the pension crisis and government tax hunt are going to increase the velocity of this downward spiral.

    The only people you have to blame are yourselves for continuing to elect these fucking morons!

    It took 6 yrs for people to figure out this moron speaks in sound bites and governs in photo ops. Our current Mayor was his Spinmaster and is getting away with the same shit. The ONLY thing that could derail this train of corruption and incompetence would be a Conservative Black or Hispanic Mayor to call people out. We just keep digging this hole deeper as a City and a Country.

    Republican or Democrat doesn't matter anymore. Both parties are bought and paid for by corporate America. Infrastructure all across America is crumbling, but we have no problem spending trillions fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What's changed in Iraq since we attacked them? It's more messed up than before. Nothing we do will ever change Muslim lands. Stay the hell out of there.
    The middle class is being eroded. We are a great empire in decline. All empires in human history have fallen or collapsed. The American Empire is just the latest that will fall.
