ObamaNomics: NYT/CBS Poll Finds Nearly 4 In 10 Americans Think Economy On A “Permanent Decline”…

Snuffing out belief in American exceptionalism, otherwise known as “mission accomplished” in the Obama administration

(Politico) — Nearly 4 in 10 Americans say they think the economy is in permanent decline, a new polls shows as deep pessimism about the economy becomes more widespread.

Thirty-nine percent of those surveyed for a New York Times/CBS News poll released late Wednesday say they see the economy headed on a downward path — significantly worse than when the question was last asked in October and 28 percent of Americans said the economy was in permanent decline.

At the same time, fewer Americans see the economy as having the potential to eventually recover, with 57 percent of those surveyed saying they think things will, in time, be better. That’s down from 68 percent in October.

As the economy continues to sputter in the eyes of many Americans, President Barack Obama’s approval rating is at 47 percent and his disapproval is at 44 percent. In May, surging in the aftermath of the killing of Osama bin Laden, Obama’s approval rating in the same poll was 57 percent and his disapproval was 37 percent.

    I can see obamao getting all excited so he can have a “mission accomplished” banner made up amidst a backdrop of a Grecian Temple or the like. He’ll probably have Lincoln tossed from his chair in the Memorial and have himself placed upon it.

    Approval rating for the Master of Disaster 57%…that’s BS if I ever saw it…so is only 4 in 10 number…you can be sure it’s higher…this is a NYT/CBS poll, remember that, nothing but leftists thru and thru, screw it anyway they can.

    Since Nancy and the gang of DIMs on the hill took power in 2006, America has been in a decline. I wish we can send home this useless group of liars and political hecks….

    “Americans Think Economy On A “Permanent Decline”

    They don’t think it…..they know it.

    Declining only until we replace this administration and elect folks who can balance a checkbook and make doing business in America attractive again. Hang in there folks – it’s coming!

    God bless America, our troops, Israel, and fellow humans.

    Zero’s approval rating in the Stalinist Times is 20 points over what Ulsterman’s WH Indiser says it really is:

    White House Insider: Obama “Panicked” Over Re-Election Prospects
    http://newsflavor.com/politics/us-politics/white-house-insider-obama-panicked-over-re-election-prospects/

    “I have been sharing with you the internal polling data for some time. These internals have started to leak out to others. Pat spoke to this publicly a couple weeks back. They show the president as increasingly vulnerable across the board. By that I mean to say, the president is losing support from the very groups that made his election in 2008 possible. These internal polls are done regularly. If the results reflect positively for an administration, the results are given to certain media outlets and used to promote a president’s standing. For over a year the results of these internals have been shut down for the simple fact that time after time they have shown Barack Obama to be far less popular with American voters than the media has been attempting to spin. Obama’s actual approval numbers are now hovering between 38 and 40 percent, and even lower in some of the most critical swing states. He has lost ground most significantly in recent months with seniors and union members. Without those two groups, Obama cannot win re-election, and the White House is downright panicked about it.”

    The poll also finds that 4 in 10 Americans believe there is a large money tree outside the Oval Office.

    I bet Obama is just as “puzzled” about this as Bernanke is.

    I’ll stick with the WH insider, as my comment above. I’m starting to doubt Rasmussen also these days.

    Larry

    Oy Vey

    I also have less faith in Rass.

    My opinion is that americans are generally reserved & polite about politics if asked. Now they are the early stages of grief -past denial but not yet ready o grasp the reality.

    Grandma is dying . They are still bringing cheery cards of well wishes.
