Poll: Majority disapprove of Obama

See all the posts below? This is what happens when NC Blew links to your website.

Many people have a lot to say about Obama dropping poll #; We must remember that we got ourselves in this situation in 2008! Micro-wave situation can't work for us this time. You must show some discipline
for your own behavior and actions, before you run out and blame Obama!

If you continual to believe that polling and the people who we voted in office to make hard decisions are the blame now, for the economic problems that we are having now, which we caused for ourselves during the last 8 1/2 years in America. We were naive with regulations and government polices,
putting every dime on wall street, fighting two wars and trying to put Social Security on wall st. as well; If you was in charge even if you where a Saint, your polls # will drop also. Americans still want it cake and eat it too.

[Last post - y'all folk are tired of hearing from me...]

I agree with several other posters who responded that the sample is (or may be) flawed... there are over 6.4 million folks in NC. 600 in the sample?? This pollster needs to call someone in Cary, and get a SAS SW update and a better auto-dialer...

Anyway, my point: the man approval rating was around 68% months ago, higher than any other president since Kennedy or even Reagan. Regardless what happens (if you know anything about political polling), then numbers have NOWHERE to go but down! It's the ebb and flow of polling and the public's moods and feelings. Call me in January; see how happy folks are after a better holiday than they had last year.

[You say] "For those of you still clinging to the false "socialist" talking point, you all really need to look up what the term means. Socialism has to do with state ownership of the major means of production, and Mr. Obama is no more socialist than Mr. G.W. Bush (who first sent public funds...."

I saw this Thurs. night... JAYHURST got it right, and gave the forum a short, concise lesson -- this president and this government is NOT going to own the auto industry, clothing apparel industry, IT, toothpick-making, not even the condom industry. Yes, Americans (by and large) ARE too damn lazy to do what it takes to have and live in a socialist construct.

[You responded] "tell this to your "leader"....flashy smiles and catchy phrases don't address the issues....if Obama was a "leader", he would have worked Capitol Hill to the hilt on healthcare reform BEFORE...."

Thank you. You are so right. Bear this in-mind please: 90% of what a LEADER does is done through other folks. The meetings, calls, e-mails are behind the scenes, and not on CNN, FOX, MSNBC... That is why it is called leadership. There will ALWAYS be a fly in the ointment. And the beauty and wonder in this process is ... is you and I and Wilson, and other CAN disagree and NOT get locked up or have our heads bashed in.

Want a plane tix to Iran or Syria or N. Korea??

Percy, PercyKution -- Follow this:
1) Go to work
2) Sit in a meeting with 5-50 people
3) Wait til your boss is talking
4) Call her/him a liar
5) Call me.

I need someone to cut the grass and rake leaves patriotically, of course). Don't worry. You WILL have time.

It simply amazes me how these simple minds keep blaming a president for an economy, up or down, but it is too complicated for their feeble minds. First of all, it was REPUBLICANS who tried to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in 2004 to 2006, but the Democrats wouldnt hear of the poor man not being able to a buy a home. So that bill was squashed. Then the Democrats, which I helped elect, was in control of Congress and the Senate for two years while our economy began to slowly unravel and they did NOTHING!!! So, Americans became highly disgruntled, with the LEFT WING media (MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NYT, and CNN)blasting Bush, on a daily basis, By then Americans would have voted for anyone but a republican. No one cared that Obama's friends were from the far socialist left. Bill Ayers, Vann Jones, Mark Lloyd, etc...These idiots have no idea how to actually govern, they just know how to implement far left policies, be danged how they will be paid for. So people bought into the SONG and DANCE of Obama and Co. Now, the far left will own you, watch while the Far Left wants to take over the air waves, they already own half the banks and the car industry, next will be insurance, then television, internet and radio, energy after that, then it will be the farms. Unless you stand up and fire all the Democrats and Republicans currently in Washington, setting two terms for the Congress and Senate, then we are doomed, but oh yeah, Americans just want everything subsidized by the government now, so it is already too late.

N & O trying to make it sound like everyone hates the man, 51 percent is a majority but they are trying to sensationalise the numbers trying to make it seem like he is way upside down. The Man is doing a great job picking up the pieces left by the Bush administration. You people have to realise Bush had 8 years to make a mess and it will not be cleaned up overnite. Obama has my full support and If he were in an election tomorrow, I would still vote for him and all the Democrats

I didn't support Obama and never will. He might be in the position of President of the United States, but he will never be my president so to speak.

I hope all the people who voted for him that have now seen the light will let this be a lesson for them. You need to know the candidate and know what he/she is all about. Obama promised change. This is change a lot of people are not liking. The grass is not always greener on the other side. I will be so glad whenever we get a different president who knows what he is doing and is honest. Obama is a mistake for America and unfortunately we are going to suffer the consequences for a long time. I'm so glad I had sense enough to see though Obama from the get go.

The more that people find out about Obama, the less many people agree with him. He is very liberal which more people are finding out and this is turning off many people. I trust less and less what he says, which is disappointing as I was hoping he would be different. I watched his speech last night and there was lie after lie coming out of him. He is just another typical although very smooth politician who will say anything and twist the truth to get his way.

(1) Kind of silly - I've never seen 600 people called a representative sample. Normally these polls use 1100+ people.
(2) PercyKution - Joe Wilson was FACTUALLY WRONG. He LIED. He didn't even apologize for lying. There is no money for illegals. Illegals are not eligible for getting any 'public option'. Joe Wilson IS A LIAR.

Wilson WAS a Patriot until he apologized. What kind of a FOOL can be bullied into apologizing for telling the TRUTH?

George Bush single-handidly elected Obama, Bev Perdue, Kay HAGen, and 100's of other Democrats all across the US. People were so sick and tired of Bush they voted for anyTHING the Democrats put up. And you can't much blame 'em. ANYBODY or ANYHING the Democrats nominated from President in 2008 was a sure fire winner because of the Bushmaster. ANYTHING would have won. And it did.

The man is an idiot.

He could have been one of, or possibly the greatest president of all time.

Instead, he's just another rabid tax and spend librul.

It would probably help if the president would get to know his office a little better. He has already broken a record of most speeches given in one year. He has averaged over a speech per day since he was sworn in. I am sure he could do a better job if he would stay home for a few work days.

"Obviously tainted data has been used. CNN reported 66 percent approval. CNN is not biased"

Excuse me? Cnn polled 44% Democrat and 18% Republican, and they're not biased? Are you not biased? Get real.

It would certainly help him to get that ACORN skeleton out of his closet, not to mention the Black Panthers skeleton. ACORN has received millions of taxpayer dollars and conducted voter fraud and other crimes with it.

"This isn't a high school popularity contest; rather a leader doing what is best for EVERYBODY, not just a few."

tell this to your "leader"....flashy smiles and catchy phrases don't address the issues....if Obama was a "leader", he would have worked Capitol Hill to the hilt on healthcare reform BEFORE putting it in front of America with no common message....the town hall attempts were abysmal.....Obama and Capitol Hill need to present one common message before they have a snowball's chance of winning America's trust

Well, the pollsters did not call me.... so many folks on the right are listening to distortions, and showing the sociologists to be true -- people will look at and believe the salacious and and negative before believing what is factual and true. The Man HAS to do SOMETHING! Look at what he inherited -- the worst economy since 1937, two wars with NO budgets appropriated and NO exit strategy (which is partly why General Powell left the Bush Team), banking failures, Wall Street collapse, home foreclosures up the wazzu. Snake oil? Socialism? Communism? Do you really know what those constructs are or have you simply been listening and now parroting the naysayers and poo-pooers?? NC and the country got it right! A brilliant man, a brilliant mind, and a man who can LEAD.

The President's popularity is falling in NC?? Sure, in the minds of folks who like McDonald's because they can get it fast; Burger King because they can have it THEIR way; and they like and listen to people who do not realize that Hawaii IS a state, cheer when a talking-head calls our President a racist; folks whose parenting is so tenuous that a man talking for 18 minutes is going to "indoctrinate" their children from their parental teachings; applaud a US Congressman who lacks respect for both the President himself AND his Congressional colleagues; and yearns for a leader who walks away from an executive post 1/2 through the term, and claims foreign policy "experience" as "can see Russia from the backyard.!! (Are you kidding? Juneau and the Gov's mansion is over 1200 miles from the Bering Strait!!)

This isn't a high school popularity contest; rather a leader doing what is best for EVERYBODY, not just a few.

(Hit me back; I'll banter with you.)

Obviously tainted data has been used. CNN reported 66 percent approval. CNN is not biased.

Long Live President Obama. As politicians go - Republican or Democrat - his humanity puts him in the top tier (along with Senator McCain, when the neo-conservative campaign machine isn't handling him). For those of you still clinging to the false "socialist" talking point, you all really need to look up what the term means. Socialism has to do with state ownership of the major means of production, and Mr. Obama is no more socialist than Mr. G.W. Bush (who first sent public funds to financial giants deemed "too big to fail" - that is, something that really should have been in the hands of We the People).

You know what the biggest problem with socialism in the U.S. would be? It's that We the People are too damn lazy to do the oversight work that socialism requires. Thanks, American Idle.

According to this data, the disapproval goes far beyond just Republicans. I think you had the issue well in hand in your 4th line if you put a period after the word "much", although to be totally correct, you need to add an "o" to "to".

"Many of the poll declines are due to Democrats and Independents upset that Obama is spending way to much................"

I also think you may be right on the last line........except the surge will be in the "disapproval" numbers for both the President and our Party. I still hold out hope that the Blue Dogs will save the day for health care.

WEll, ya'll got your first black president. Personally, I would have opted for Colin Powell, but you chose. Let's hope that the first female president that you tards elect will be better than this joker.

What did you expect? The people might have been fooled once,shame on them. But, they ain't fooled by his lies now. You know how you can tell if he is lying? His lips are moving. One man had enough guts to stand up and call him out. Now the media will crucify the guy. That guy is a true patriot.

NC did THINK objectively and made the right choice. The problem with Republicans is they don't Think....they just blindly walk behind their idols Limbaugh and Beck. The Republicans had us in an 8 year death spiral, the Democrats have stopped the fall and have us back on the right path. Many of the poll declines are due to Democrats and Independents upset that Obama is spending way to much time listening to the right wing crazy's(which it sounds like your one of). Once we get the health care bill(with the public option) through we'll see the polls surge again.

It don't make no damn difference what North Carolinians think of him now. They voted him in and now we can sit through 4 years of this socialist regime. Maybe next election, we'll think objectively about the candidates before we just decide to throw some party out. What a price the country is going to pay for this.

"The only Obama poll that was remotely favorable for him was a boguspoll from CNN who subsequently admitted that they polled twice as many democrats as republicans."

Fortunately, the only poll that matters is the one the Board of Elections conducts, which has a much larger sample of voters.

The only Obama poll that was remotely favorable for him was a boguspoll from CNN who subsequently admitted that they polled twice as many democrats as republicans.
ALL OF THE REST OF THE POLLS SHOW THAT THE BLOOM IS OFF THE ROSE FOR OBAMA. He managed to talk his way into the White House, but his performance since then has been a disappointment.

Now people dont beleive everything you read, you can get whatever results you want based on how you asked the question, so chill the Pres is doing fine, we need universal health care. sorry for those of you who stands to make money from the status quo.

News Junky, It could also mean that 55% disapprove, and only 41% think Obama is tolerable. That's one of those problems with polls... they're only so accurate. Perhaps you have a better way?

so.. 51% disapprove, 45% approve, with a +/- 4 error rate, so, it could be 49% approve and 47% disapprove which means that the headline is false. Ah well, if it sells huh folks. Truth means nothing, public buying your paper means everything.

Snake oil salesman's honeymoon is over. Tanking right along with Guv Dumplin'
