Today President Obama has a 54% approval rating!


When was the last time we had a President with an approval rating over 54% at this point in his presidency?

Oh, that's right it was when Bill Clinton was president, almost 16 years ago.
 
If 54% of the American people think that idiot is doing a good job, then we have totally lost touch with reality and entropy accelerates.
 
unbeleivable...from what does these numbers come from ? foreign policy? debt? obamacare? GDP? -no

Oh I don't know. That fact that he had some really significant accomplishments coming after a Republican President who was the most inept Chief Executive in our nations history after Warren G. Harding may have something to do with it.

Ya know? A politician who doesn't have a self fulfilling prophecy for failed government like his predecessor had. Like Bush, who thought government was the problem, got elected, and proved it.

government over-reach is a big problem. It's why it's so huge and unresponsive (hopefully you never have to deal directly with DC bureaurcrts)

why the deflection to Bush? I do give Obama credit for the recovery -i think it was poorly handled
( they repaved my little cul-de sac 3 times with Stimulus money) but that was emergency times.

Other then that....what has he accomplished but poiticizing government?
Transparency?accountability?

Did you ever stop to think that maybe it's Y-O-U and others, who constantly moan about how horrible the economy is despite record low unemployment numbers, who have totally lost touch with reality?

A low unemployment number by itself doesn't speak to the total conditions of the econony. One reason we have such a low rate is the low participation rate. Another issue is the number of people who are working part time or in lesser jobs than they desire. So by itself a 5% unemployment rate doesn't signify good times
 
I haven't had a raise in 10 years -i have had advancement in the company -so I am making more money.
But for the majority of workers, it isn't good.

we need to do some wealth creation -this 1% GDP isn't cutting it.

When you load the poll with a large number of his party you get the results you want.....

only the terminally gullible don't consider that and tout these polls.....

As Liberals have pointed out for years, record numbers of baby boomers reached retirement age and retired over the past 8 years, driving down the labor participation rate.

Do you blame Obama because your supervisor in the PRIVATE CORPORATION you work for hasn't given you a raise?

You're a funny one dude....did it ever occur to you that over the last 8 years, even higher record numbers of people reached their upper teens and early 20's that have driven up the unemployment rate and can't find jobs !
