    Obama approval rating plummeting

    A new CNN poll provides the sharpest evidence yet that a month of scandals (IRS, Benghazi, AP, leaks, etc.) is taking its toll on President Obama's approval rating.
    • General job approval is down from 53% in May to 45% now.
    • Approval on the economy is down 2 points, to 42%.
    • On foreign affairs, Obama has fallen 5 points to 44%.
    • On illegal immigration, Obama's disapproval is up to 56%.
    • 49% of respondents say Obama is honest/trustworthy, a big drop from 58% in the last reading.
    • Among those aged under 30, Obama has seen a 17% (!) drop in approval.

    Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

    Typical for the 2nd term, these so called scandals are not helping for sure, but what do you expect if people rather have a privacy over safety? Damn you if you do, damn you if you don't scenario.

          Approval rating have no relevance, when the oppositions top candidates are worthless.

                Still better than Bush's 22% approval rating.

                    Again... You have nothing to say because you just aren't smart enough to form and articulate a coherent thought and defend it.

                    You're just a low level loser that's barely employable who has yet to say one intelligent thing about the business you were hired as a specialist in.. A fact which many might look to as evidence that there is a God.

                    Your time would be better spent trying to improve the quality of your over compressed promo content which is worthless as promo content since it looks like shit. But then again, I would find it hard to believe that you are listened to at the company you work for... So maybe your best bet is actually to just sit here all day being snarky and feigning cleverness.... Otherwise, no one would even know you exist... or care if you did or didn't.

                        You don't speak to anyone unless its to kiss ass in hopes of drumming up business or if you're trying to fake something intelligent to say. I'll just keep pointing out that you're a loser... and you can just keep posting pictures, smiley faces and safe, rhetorical questions as if you've ever had a point to make that you were even remotely capable of defending.

                          if that's the case, there might be something significantly wrong with you

                            How about you try to improve the incredibly shitty quality of your promo vids so they are usable. That would surprise a lot of webmasters.

                                  Approval ratings mean nothing in a society that votes either hard right or hard left. The left may not be happy with Obama, but there is no chance in hell of them voting for Republicans.

                                    These guys just like the feeling of something really tight in their ass. They start out with a small dildo, but their hole eventually adjusts to it so they have to go bigger and bigger and bigger. The goal isn't to have a huge hole. That's just a side effect.

                                        1. If only Boener and friends would actually do something instead of block everything Obama tries to do, the economy would be better. Oh and don't forget, It's Busy who wrecked the economy, not Obama.

                                        2. Obama should not get involved in the new war. Ugh.

                                        3. Incredible. Obama's DREAM ACT was a great idea. Surprise! Republicans shot it down.

                                        Poor Prez.

                                          A month of scandals caused his approval rating to fall a few points?

                                          Really?

                                          Wow, who would have expected that.

                                          This is newsworthy information!

                                            It's now at 49% Seems people wish he was back LOL

                                            The Gallup poll found that 84% of Republicans, 46% of independents, and 24% of Democrats view Mr. Bush positively.
                                            Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                            think about that

                                                  I wonder how much his approval rating would be if he were white, 1-2% less?

                                                    Oh goody, now you can go back to admitting you're a republican.

                                                      Probably. The degree to which would be determined by their political affiliation. "like is attracted to like" - in other words, if 3 animals - say 2 wolves and a fox come together in the forest that have never seen other animals before, the two wolves are likely to stick together and likely attack the fox. This is true from simple bacteria all the way up the ladder of living organism to people.

                                                      Its pure insanity that we aren't allowed to say that Obama got votes because he was black. Of course he did. My gf admitted to voting for him because he was black (she's not white). Black people are going to be more likely to like someone more similar than someone more different. Hispanics are more likely to favor a democrat. Blacks are more likely to favor a democrat. Blacks are more likely to hold a more favorable view of a black president than a white president.

                                                      Polls don't really take an individuals own cognitive bias' into account.

                                                      One thing that is for sure though is that all these scandals happened at the worst possible time - when approval ratings are generally weak anyway.

                                                      At the end of the day, the pendulum of Democrat and Republican will continue to swing back and forth no matter what anyone believes is right, wrong, good, bad etc.
                                                      .
                                                      Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.
