POLL: Obama’s Approval Rating Drops Below 50% For First Time
From HuffingtonPost.com:
President Barack Obama’s job approval rating has fallen to 49% in today’s Gallup poll — the first time his approval has dipped below 50% and a sharp decline from the 69% approval rating Gallup recorded when Obama entered office:
The ongoing, contentious debate over national healthcare reform has likely served as a drag on his public support, as have continuing economic problems. Americans are also concerned about the Obama administration’s reliance on government spending to solve the nation’s problems and the growing federal budget deficit. … Of the post-World War II presidents, Obama now is the fourth fastest to drop below the majority approval level, doing so in his 10th month on the job.
Today’s news comes on the heels of the Quinnipiac poll released earlier this week that showed Obama’s approval rating had slipped to 48% and a Fox News poll that put the figure at 46%.
But while those polls surveyed only registered voters, Gallup’s calculation is based on a broader sample of Americans, making it the most significant to date.

aamaazon “so why can’t we willingly take charge and rebuild America again?”
REBUILD???? nlgga rebuild WHAT???? what is broken in America that BLACK FOLK have 2 fix or can sustain ECONOMICALLY 2 substantiate any problem that is a direct result of BLACK FOLK fukin it over and up and down and around where we have 2 REBUILD???
AMAZING…..we have the Slave mentality that has been reborn with the slogan “YES WE CAN” when “NO WE DIDN’T” FUK NOTHING UP….get the CHANCE 2 FUK ANY OF THE MONEY THE DEBT OF THIS COUNTRY HAS ENDOWED….so U simple mufuker what the fuk are WE gonna rebuild?? OUR NEIGHBORHOODS/COMMUNITY…we tried remember the Black Panther Party tei that demise in with COINTELPRO….
Now if i remember correctly, Obama’s slogan was “yes WE can!” Now that he’s on the front line, where is the “WE” part. I know “We the people” hasn’t been seen in a long time, but “WE” still means more than just him. So to quote another president, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”-JFK
It seems as if everyone has forgotten the “We” part and still long to be the crybabies, whiners and finger pointing blamers as we have for decades. What happened to that “good old American know how” that we as a country have been so famous for?
Wasn’t it James Brown who sang, “I don’t want nobody to give me nothing, open up the door and I’ll get it myself!” Well the doors open, get up off your butts and get it yourself. Black folks said more education would give us equal advantage to make things happen. We got educated, integrated and forgetful as hell!
You want a better economy? Find your own niche and fill it. We piss and moan about how we never got credit for our abundant creative ability, so where is that creative ability now? Use it! America was build on the backs of black slaves, so why can’t we willingly take charge and rebuild America again?
Okay, I was just thinking, wondering if the rest of y’all thinking too?
@_A_ nigga u better drank that koolaid! Yeah I peeped game on that sh!t and it’s crazy they are trying to force people to get healthcare or pay fines. LOL! WTF happened to freedom of choice. Let’s be real Obama is simply another corporate face that happens to be black.
White Democrat 1: How can we appease these African American voters?
White Democrat 2: There is this guy name Barack Obama
White Democrat 1: Bark O-who that sounds like a Bin Laden flunkie
White Democrat 2: No his mom is white and his dad is from Kenya he was born in Hawaii. He wasn’t raised by his father just his white side of the family
White Democrat 1: Oh ok great so he would’nt be one of them fearsome African Americans like Malcom X. He’d be more passive since he can’t relate to the African Americans here.
White Democrat 2: Exactly though when does win the primary we do have to make sure he has a white VP. Can’t let them have everything you know.
White Democrat 1: That sounds like a great plan
White Republican: We don’t need any Nig err I mean African American to win.
Both Democrats: Didn’t all of your prominent African American’s leave the party?
White Republican: Fu.ck you! We still have Michael Stell and Piy err I mean Bobby Jindal!
Both Democrats: HAHHAHAHAHAHAA! Good luck selling that story!
You Obamaites are truly amazing. One question for any of you. NAME ONE THING OBAMA IS DOING DIFFERENT THAN GEORGE BUSH? This healthcare “reform” is an absolute joke. Have any of you heard from actual Doctors concerning this matter? It might interest you to know, that an overwhelming amount of Dr.s feel the problem with healthcare these days are the middlemen, or the healthcare providers. They are the one’s who makes it impossible to do their jobs, because the Dr.s have to deal with them first rather than deal with the patients. Anyone wonder why you don’t see/hear any healthcare providers screaming about this so called reform? Simple! they will make BILLIONS more, when everyone is forced to sign up. Another backhanded bailout for more CEO’s. People are talking about the economy and how bad it was in the past 8 years, please explain to me what Obama is doing that is so different. Larry Summers and Tim Geitner carry a lot of blame for this collapse, yet they are right there, front and center on Obama’s team. Is that really change you can believe in?
Obama’s support has dropped, according to whom? Not with me, and not with a whole lot of people. And to those who think he was voted in because he is black. Grow up, get a life and get over it. Every president before him was white. Is that why they were voted in? Bush spent enormous amounts every week and nobody complained. But if Obama gets a haircut, he spent too much. Crybabies, all of you.
Who cares anyone who thinks they can do a better job than obama should run for office in 2012.
So funny how blacks are the least to support each other when it comes to something positive.
Instead they want to instill the guilt trip on others for voting atleast they voted rather its for the purple man or pink man.
And I don’t know any black person who voted for Obama thinking he was the black peoples’s messiah I know some me myself included knew he was the best man for the job
After all the shat this country economic is going through and what the republican left the next president to deal with we should be very glad he’s making an effort to do the best he can with the little resources this country has
I guess if he did something so miraculous than I guess others would jump on the band wagon talking about thats my boy
I support Our president and all that he is attempting to do bless him and his family because its b itch being the most critized president and hated for being a Bi-racial Man in power.
Everyones entitled to their opinion, dislikes, and likes hey this still a free country for now
I think it’s interesting how you used a poll from a “former” conservative and the fox network,both I’m sure are big President Obama supporters. And truthfully are most of you so called writers on News1 on crack or meth. I’ve read some F’d up shyt before but you guys take the cake. Your do Willie Lynch proud.
And some of these wanna be Malcolm’s and Hueys are so damn uninformed if it wasn’t so pathetic it would be laughable. One idiot on here actually gets mad because the Prez’s healthcare bill is explained fully. This means you actually would have to read something how inconvenient., I know this is a hardship for many on here. Maybe we better go to this bpcartel website that will explain all the conspiracies against us. Yeah right go straight too hell you coward azz house negroes who do nothing but criticize without ever doing anything but that .
lol this should be a lesson dont vote for people because there black
look for that number to be at or around 20% when 2012 rolls around.
It will drop even lower when black folk stop traetin him like Jesus
and try 2 see what he has done while he has been in office and that is 2 extend the Patriot Act(bush)….cause confusion 4 the Health Care agenda by releasing A dready 2,000+ page Bill and wants it 2 pass through legislation by thanksgiving and keeping the Imperialist Agenda in play
this liar is nothing but a BlackFaced George W. Bush
