The Official Obama 2.0 Approval Ratings Thread

Please also sticky this, one of the Mods.

Done.

Is this all because of a bloody glitchy website?

And policy cancellation notices (caveats in the debate noted).

LMAO at some of the people who compared this to Bush' Katrina or even Clinton getting his knob polished.  I mean really:

Eisenhower: 1958 Recession
Nixon: Watergate
Reagan: Iran-Contra
Clinton: Getting blown by a fat Jew
Bush: Katrina, economic meltdown, Iraq, too many sh*t to name
Obama: Botching the launch of an internet website!

Yes, this is truly Obama's great calamity!

Note: not saying I think Obama is a truly great president (actually I'm very disappointed in him), but if this is the best that Fox News and the Reaction Corner can get on him, I'm not surprised why they continually underperform on election nights.

Well you forgot about Bengazi, IRS, and NSA.

Funny, so did the voters.

Rasmussen seems to be a total outlier right now:

Ever since Scott Rasmussen got kicked out of his own company left to pursue other options, that poll has been very, very erratic.

To have Obama's approval go from minus 11 (44/55 on Feb 14th) to plus 5 (52/47 on Feb 24th) and then back down to minus 9 (45/54 o March 4) is just clearly in wild contrast with reality. 

Unless I somehow missed that Obama cured cancer one week , followed by being outed as a child molester the next week, presidential approval simply does not change that fast.

Rasmussen reports methodology was never all that transparent to begin with, and since Scott has left, it has if anything gotten worse.

That's a frightening concept.

Remember, they're using a Fox News poll that's essentially spam, like that CBS poll late last year.

Please. Fox News polls tend to be fairly middle of the road in terms of results, and aren't even close to having the greatest consistent R lean.

This is great news for democrats in the 2014 midterms.

Sarcasm I assume? There's a LOT of blue on that map, and most of it quite dark.

It's been so long coming that people probably believe the recovery is occurring in spite of Obama, not because of him.

Or, they're just not feeling the so-called "recovery." Despite all the recent employment "growth" data, labor force participation has shown no improvement, while the number of full-time jobs declined by 523,000. Most of the jobs that were created were low-wage and/or part-time, so it isn't surprising that this "recovery" hasn't translated into great approval ratings for Obama.

Most likely both combined, IMO.

He's the worst President in modern history

All credibility is lost when stuff like this is said.
