POLL: President Obama’s Job Approval Rating Drops to 43 Percent
President Obama’s job approval rating has dropped to 43 percent, according to the most recent Gallup poll. This is a consistent downward trend for President Obama
who, in February of 2009, had an approval rating above sixty percent.
Gallup’s poll “ tracks daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president. Daily results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points.”
Before this latest poll, Obama had been tracking at about 45 percent. President Obama’s disapproval rating registered at 48 percent.
There is other bad news for team Obama as well. A model which has predicted the correct winner of the Electoral College since 1980 is predicting a big win for Mitt Romney.
The Huffington Post reports:
To predict the race’s outcome, the model uses economic indicators from all 50 states and it shows 320 electoral votes for Romney and 218 for Obama, according to The Associated Press. The model also suggests that Romney will win every state currently considered a swing state which includes Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Colorado.
The predictive model is very different from what current data suggests, which is that President Obama will win with 257 electoral votes.
If there’s any solidly good news for the Obama campaign, it’s that most Americans are still predicting that he will win in November. Based on an August 20-22 Gallup poll, 58 percent of Americans believe Obama will win, versus only 36 percent of people who believe Romney will win.

All this was done, not with the thought of the people it may serve. It was done, with the sole purpose in mind, to defeat Obama in 2012.
thanks, Daryl.
I’m borrowing that!
sorry Darrell, for the mispelling.
President Obama job Approval RATING Drops to 43%, its still higher that President Bush when he left office, and its much, much higher than the Republicans.
The President Approval Rating is 43% because upper middle class white Americans’ who is afraid of becomming poor, and the feel President Obama should have corrected the Worst economic crisis since the Depression in 4 years.
Never mind what the Republicans are not doing to help move the Country forward, every bill President Obama has put forward for the Republicans to support the middle class and the poor, the Republicans said NO.
But you see how some HATERS are will to vote for a LIAR, JOBS Outsource, Off-shore Banker, Earmark Money taker, Company’s destroyer, causing many employees, to lose jobs, Benefits, and 401k’s, and etc.
You tell me what makes Americans’ who say the love this Country.
I say the may love this Country, but they just don’t “LOVE WHO IS IN IT”.
Why are you printing this c**p?
250 years of slavery, families divided and sold, wives and daughters raped. Men having to stand and endure this with a whip at his back.
100 years of Jim Crow and you an African-American male printing any story you can print to bring down the Presdent, you should be ashamed.
Any African-American who does not vote, I don’t care about age, finances or circumstances, you don’t care about YOU.
They are printing FACTS. You cannot ignore these facts just because you are an AA and you think that mentioning them will bring Obama down. Use your common sense, if you have any.
they always have some stupid picture as if this is Obama reacting to this story. it’s amazing how the media operates like a bunch of twits rather then actually tell a complete story. who did they ask to get 43%, a bunch of (R)epugliKKKans? try for once to do more than reprint someone else’s story as if it’s fact. maybe it’s too much these days to ask any media to intelligently relate a complete story with all the associated facts.
PRESIDENT OBAMA’S RATING SHOULD BE 500 PERCENT…HE IS A HARD WORKER AND HE IS DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB. KEEP SUPPORTING HIM OR BETTER YET..
DO YOU REMEMBER BUSH AND HIS LEGACY…DO WE REALLY WANT THAT BACK???
Please people…….can’t we all get along?
I agree Toni, but as you know some people never cease to amaze me when they know someone is just spurting racist bullshit & lies just because they’ve been told all their lives bullshit & lies when it comes to Black America !!
The man hit the ground running, he stoped some of the BS Bush had started but white men vowed to make him a one term President, by any means nessary and some oreo’s joined in. Trickle down never trickled, companies were protected while the people suffered and the Rep & GOP was happy as a kid in a candy factory. When they ”the Rep party”hear 23,000,000 people unemployed they know most of the unemployed are Black.
Obama 2012! Talk about repairing the Black race from the war on drugs and the last 250 years that this country has binefited from Slavery and the cheap or free labor ( prison system) giving credit but charging Blacks three times the price for everything!!!!!
Wake Up America, President Obama has had Republicans 100% against him from the time he took office. The GOP has blocked everything that Obama has tried to do. Republicans refuse to work Democrats and President Obama. And then Republicans get on tv, the radio and the web and say “Where are the jobs”. They are cowards, hateful, racist and ignorant, what else needs to be said. We cannot put all of the blame on President Obama.
This poll is pure bullshit. Reporting it is just irresponsible even though it attracts attention and sells copy. Here is the reason that ALL of these polls are just BS.There is a total of 30 states that have passed widely varying voter ID laws, and even though they are all classified under one umbrella they are convoluted with all sorts of vague special requirements and provisions. If the Supreme Court were to outlaw every Voter ID law passed since Obama took office, it would take most states a good year to actually undrstand all of the provisions in their respective state Voter ID laws.
Some states are straight forward and only require some form of certified government ID with the voters photo and defined expiration date such as a drivers license or a U.S. Passport. Other states require the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue special state certified Voter’s Photo ID cards. In many states that specify that ONLY this form of ID will be allowed to identify a voter, the doscuments that an applicant must file in order to be eligible for these special Voter ID cards varies all over the place. for example some states require just a certified birth certificate, while other states require not only a certified birth certificate; but if the applicant is married or was married a certiified copy of their wedding license will have to be submitted along with all other papers. Other states require all of those papers ALONG WITH recent copies of utility bills for your current place of residence and only certain types of utility bills are acceptable, and it goes on and on.
Then there is the issue of early voting in certain important swing states which is currently being fought out the courts. Added to attempts to suppress early voting you can also include reduced voting hours at polling places with large African American (AA) populations and expanded voting hours in mainly white rural areas. Some states are reducing the number of polling places in AA communities while expanding them in white rural areas. Finally no one knows what other tricks the Republicans have up their sleeves regarding Electronic Voting machines which in past elections were proven to be easily hacked so as to provide incorrect voting tallys.
My own opinion is that the entire election process is so screwed up from tampering by all sorts of political gangsters that I expect that the final election results will take many weeks to sort out and many months to finally clear the subsequent flood of court challenges. So if any pollester publicizes their predictions, they are just selling copy because at this time NO ONE knows how the presidential election will turn out.
