Gallup: Obama Quarterly Approval Rating Lowest Of All Presidents Since WWII…

Even lower that than Obama’s idol, Jimmah Carta.

Via Gallup:

The three presidents since World War II who were not re-elected — Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George H.W. Bush — all had job approval ratings below 50% in the last Gallup measure before the election took place. Five presidents who won re-election — Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton — all had job approval ratings above 50% in the last Gallup poll before the election. Two presidents were re-elected with sub-50% approval ratings. George W. Bush had 48% approval in October 2004 among national adults. Harry Truman’s final Gallup job approval rating in 1948 was 40%, but that was from a poll conducted nearly five months before Election Day, making it unclear precisely what Truman’s level of support was at the time of the election.

This historical pattern suggests that Obama would need to see his job approval rating climb to 50% to be in a comfortable position for re-election. History shows that by March of the election year, all winning presidents in the modern era, including George W. Bush, had job approval ratings above 50%, and all losing presidents had job approval ratings below 50%. This suggests that where Obama stands by next month may be an important indicator of his ultimate re-election chances.

    Just like Jimmah – right smack dab down to the taking of American hostages, er, detainees in Egypt, courtesy of a neo-Marxist, Islamic revolutionary junta.

    As encouraging as this poll is, it doesn’t really get to why he is disliked.

    I wonder if “perceived as anti-American” ever comes up in these polls?

    The fact that Barry’s approval numbers are above 2% are cause for concern.

    It looks like Carter was actually lower for most of HIS one term.
    But theyre about equal overall, in the peoples disgust of their Presidency, being as theyre both failures, have almost completely broken our economy, etc.

    The only polls that matter come November. I won’t celebrate until this walking piece of garbage is sent packing from the White House. The fact anyone thinks this stumblebum is doing a good job is proof of the rampant idiocy in our country.

    If the media is somehow able to get Obama reelected, he will be the most despised President in American history.

    Encouraging news.

    Let’s all remember that the silent majority is alive and well. And they plan to be -really- silent this time around, unless they want to be labelled racist 24 hours per day.

    This is only going to make them scheme much more.

    Calling all Cemetery’s, time to reanimate and show up at the polls.

    This can be a double edge sword for the country.

    Comrade Zero appears to be too fat and smug in the leftard cocoon spun by his sycophant enablers in Congress, the media, and the White House to recognize reality. Let’s hope they aren’t being cavalier because they’re stupid and delusional enough to think they can steal the election, or get away with “postponing” it. As Communo-Fascist gangsters, however, the D-rats may be thinking just that.

    We are witnessing a classic, lawless takeover of the U.S. government, no different from the tried and true techniques of Lenin in 1917 and Hitler in 1933. Boehner and McConnell will go quietly, so if it comes to a show-down at High Noon then the nation’s salvation rests with state governors mobilizing the National Guard. How preposterous to think such thoughts. But this is where
    the “leaders” in Washington have taken us. Treason is not too strong a word.
    Santorum is the only opposition candidate who seems to understand that with The Kenyan in charge we are no longer doing “business as usual.”

    I still don’t get how he can be in the toilet in the polls and still be neck and neck with a republican challenger.

  18. No Shame says:

    when he realizes he’s going to lose anyway, look out.

  19. TimT says:

    Never fear. Just like the unemployment numbers game, they will somehow fudge his numbers to get him above 50%.

  20. Nancy says:

    Carter was clueless. Obama is malevolent.

    He is definitely making a serious run at the Constitution. That religious thing really bugs him. Commies and muzz hate competition.

    Can you imagine being in the room with those 43.3% who still favor this
    total failure and trying to carry on a discussion on the finer points of our
    American system….
    Why do you like Obama—– he has the Obama stash…
    How can we improve our economy——extend the unemployment benefits…
    Who’s at fault for causing all the unemployment—-Whitey and George Bush..
    Does Obama deserve 4 more years——you be,racist, bigot and a homophob…
