President 0bama’s approval rating hits a new low

After a brief resurgence earlier this year, President 0bama's poll numbers are back in the dumps. A new Quinnipiac Poll released Wednesday finds 0bama's approval rating at the lowest point in his presidency, thanks in part to voter angst over the economy and his handling of the situation in Libya.

Just 42 percent of those polled approve of the job 0bama is doing, compared to 48 percent who disapprove, according to Quinnipiac. And in a bad sign for his upcoming 2012 re-election campaign, 50 percent of those polled say he doesn't deserve another term in the White House.

In January, 0bama's approval rating was at 48 percent—the highest number it had been in more than a year, though still dramatically lower than his 59 percent approval rating recorded in June 2009.

What's to blame for the president's slump? For one thing, 60 percent of voters disapprove of 0bama's handling of the economy, while just 34 percent approve--the lowest number of his presidency.

Meanwhile, 0bama appears to have taken a hit over Libya. According to Quinnipiac, just 41 percent approve of 0bama's handling of foreign policy—a new low. Asked specifically about Libya, 45 percent disapprove, even as voters are virtually split on whether intervening in the crisis was a good idea.

The number that is sure to cause most concern for 0bama's campaign advisers is where the president stands with independents, a voting bloc that was crucial to 0bama's win in 2008 and stands to be pivotal again in 2012.

While Democrats and Republicans are literally opposites when it comes to 0bama-- 81 percent of GOPers disapprove, while 80 percent of Dems approve—indy voters have often been more split. But in recent months, the group has increasingly soured on 0bama. According to Quinnipiac, 50 percent of independents now disapprove of the job 0bama is doing.

Another cause for concern is likely to be 0bama's standing with women, another pivotal part of the president's coalition of support. The poll finds female voters literally split over 0bama—44 percent approve, 44 percent disapprove. Meanwhile, 0bama continues to struggle among men, who disapprove of 0bama 52 percent to 41 percent.

Interestingly, 0bama is faring badly among every key voting demographic, except for voters aged 18 to 35, 47 percent of whom approve of 0bama's job performance. But even that is a historically low number, which is not a good sign for 0bama as he prepares to ramp up his 2012 campaign.

Even Palin will be able to beat him

I'd vote for Palin over 0bama. I'd even vote for trump over him and I think trump would be a total waste, but he would do less damage. Mitt Romney is the guy we need in office now out of all of them.

*ahem*


GOP finds the honorable President hard to beat so far

U.S. unemployment is at 8.9 percent. A challenge to President Barack 0bama's
one-year-old health care law is likely on its way to the Supreme Court. And even
some Democrats are questioning the president's intervention in Libya.

And yet at this early stage of the 2012 race for the White House, every would-be
Republican challenger is lagging behind the honorable President in the polls --
despite below-50 percent job-approval ratings for the president.






As the 2012 campaign gets off the ground, the universally known the honorable President holds leads
over every Republican candidate, including a double-digit advantage over tea party star
Sarah Palin and roughly 5- and 6-point leads over Romney and Huckabee, according to the
latest averages from RealClearPolitics. In a Pew Research Center poll released Wednesday,
just 37 percent of registered voters said they'd pick a Republican in 2012.

what it is or why he wanted to shut it down?

it's been said many, many times .... the U.S. helped set (Osama/Usama) Bin Laden on his path to power

Operation Cyclone is often mentioned for supporting evidence .... Carter, Reagan, Bush Administrations did not handle matters very well ...

the President 0bama administration is doing a fine job of investigating the CIA, which has been on almost every President's hit list since it started .... the honorable President is not skeered
