Poll: Obama’s Approval Rating Among Independents Craters To Only 31%…

Ouch.

A new poll shows President Barack Obama’s disapproval rate among political independents has broken above 50 percent, even while he is using the debt ceiling debate to seek approval from those critical swing voters.

Support for Obama among independents has fallen from 42 percent in May to 31 percent, and disapproval has risen to 54 percent, according to a late July poll of 1,500 registered voters by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

The drop in support among independents is critical because both parties have a roughly similar number of die-hard supporters. The 2012 election prize will go to the candidate who draws more independent voters, and Obama’s decline in that crucial demographic has dragged his ratings down among registered voters, according to the Pew poll.

    31% will look like the high water mark if the U.S defaults on Barrys watch. Go Barry, true Americans are watching.

    That is just not fair. Everyone is allowed 15 minutes of fame, and Barry has only used up about three minutes.

    Fare thee well, sweet Barry, we barely knew ye. Thank God.

    At least he will never have to worry about a tee time. Priviledge has it’s rewards.
    And America will be back to normal in 50 or 60 years.

    Someone needs to take that club and knock some common sence into this Fool! The interest on the Debt he has created, is more then all of the Social Security Benefits paid out! It would pay the salaries of all the military personel.

    So this means that 31% of independents should be taken off life support, right?

    Not to worry. Barry has a great future as a pundit on the Golf Channel.
