Surprise! (or Horrors!) Obama’s Approval Rating Is on the Rise

[YukonJack]

"There is really no room for Republicans to wiggle on this meltdown. Bush had been in power for eight years, Republican Congress had been in power for 12 years, they controlled Supreme Court. How can they reasonably blame Democrats and expect people to believe them?"

As soon as the Democrats gained control of finances, they gave mansions to inevitable delinquents, baased on SKIN COLOUR. So, the saying "what have you done for me lately?" puts the blame for the financial meltdown on the likes of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

"I expect people will continue to blame Bush for a while yet. Give it a year or two and it becomes Obama’s crises, Bush will fade away from the memory."

Well, why not?? Blaming someone out of office is SOOOO much easier than blaming the real culprit: the pretender IN OFFICE.

 

[ironsides]

By keeping the pressure on the likes of ACORN will do much to bring down Franks and Dodd. Wish we could find out how much they personally made from this meltdown?

You are a Liberal Democrat and you fail everytime because you are inept.

Well now, that is a matter of opinion, isn't it?

That is what Americans are doing, YJ, according to the Rasmussen poll (conducted by a Republican), 56% of them blame Bush.

No matter how much you and other conservatives try to spin the issue, try to blame Obama (and Clinton, Carter, Johnson, Kennedy, FDR etc., all the Democratic presidents in recent memory) and claim that Bush was the paragon of virtue, perhaps the greatest president ever; American people are not buying it.

As to blaming somebody out of the office, Republicans blame Clinton, Carter etc. for the meltdown. How is that for blaming somebody who has been out of the office for 29 years?

Republicans even go so far as to blame JFK for Castro's continued presence in Havana, Cuba. This notwithstanding the fact that he became dictator when Eisenhower was president and because he refused to lift a finger to help Batista's forces. In his own memoirs Ike took full responsibility for the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion - yet to this day, nearly 50 years later, Republicans still blame JFK!

According to you, SirJosephPorter, Rasmussen poll is totally unreliable, because it is a right wing extremist poll. You said so yourself countless times.

I took your word on the poll resuults you quote. Probably a mistake. You have been known to misquote yourself, if and when your convenience dictated so.

If you were not such a hypocrite, you would remember that you'd often dismissed Rasmussen whenever his findings did not suit your political views.

Suddenly Rasmussen poll is your reference?

56% Still Blame Bush For Economic Problems:

56% Still Blame Bush For Economic Problems - Rasmussen Reports™



Monday, September 14, 2009



One year after the collapse of global financial firm Lehman Brothers, most voters (56%) continue to blame the nation’s current economic problems on the recession that started under George W. Bush, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

That’s up one point over the past month, but down six points from mid-May.

Thirty-seven percent (37%) blame current problems on the policies implemented by President Obama, down two points from August.







Well, at Least Rasmussen got that right!

This must mean that the other 44% are incapable of thinking or are illiterate.

 

[YukonJack]

Idiots quote polls when it it convenient.

Just look at posts # 44 and #48.

So what are you saying YJ, that you don’t believe the Rasmussen poll? Well, that would be a first.

Anyway, I will agree with you that the Rasmussen poll in this case (which says that 56% Americans blame Bush for the meltdown) may not be accurate, if you agree with me that Rasmussen poll in general is all bunk, is a highly partisan poll.

Deal?

What this 56% number means that other polls probably would put this number higher. Memory of the meltdown is still fresh in peoples’ minds, they know who was the president at that time, people aren’t stupid. They still blame Bush and will continue doing so for a while.

Republicans blame most of the evils of the world on Democratic Presidents, Gopher. And they claim that anything good in the world has been done by Republican presidents. E.g. have you seen ever Yukon Jack criticize a Republican president for anything or praise a Democratic president for anything? Anyway, that is how Republicanism works.

I guess your "promises" don't amount to much.

What else does your crystal ball say?

How about giving us a few winning lotto numbers?

Public Policy Polling: Obama leads 2012 foes

Obama leads 2012 foes


If Barack Obama had to stand for reelection today he'd win by as much as he did last year, if not more.

He leads Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Sarah Palin by anywhere from 7-15 points in hypothetical 2012 contests.





Palin in 2012! :lol:

I think if it were left to republicans we'd still be swinging around in the tree tops looking for nuts and berries,i'd say it took some pretty good progressive liberal thinking to look down from the tree tops at another animal and think BBQ :idea: ;-)

Actually, a progressive liberal thinker would say "I can't wait you somebody from the government to show up and BBQ that animal for me". A conservative would do it because it needed to be done and the fact that his rifle was unregistered would not faze him in the least.

Where did you dig that one up, YJ? The poll must have really been carried out but an out and out Obama hater (or was it an on line poll?). Even the Republican pollster gives Obama 51%. According to Rasmussen, Obama’s approval rating has stabilized (and is actually on the rise) after falling in summer.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™

But then aren’t you being generous in giving Obama 44%? You mean 44% actually approve of Obama? Surely that can’t be right, shouldn’t that be close to zero percent?

 

[YukonJack]

SirJosephPorter, surely you ARE familiar with Google.

I WILL NOT do your homework for you.

But, please, do me and the rest of the intelligent and thinking world a favour: after all the disparaging remarks and statements you have made about Rasmussen (when you did not agree with his results) stop quoting Rasmussen. You are nothing but a desperate hypocrite to quote Rasmussen in order to support your arguments when when you DO agree with his poll results.

The poll you have quote is probably a bogus poll, YJ. When even a staunch Republican like Rasmussen gives Obama 51%, anybody who puts his approval lower than that is probably a Obama hater. I don’t have to Google for the poll, the poll probably belongs in the trash bin.

And there is nothing hypocritical about quoting Rasmussen. Him being a Republican, the numbers given by him are absolutely the rock bottom, maybe even lower than the rock bottom (according to what he himself says). In that respect his polls do serve some purpose, it tells us the true approval rating (a few points above Rasmussen).

But as I said, anybody who gives a lower approval rating than even Rasmussen, is probably a Obama hater, nothing more.

Again, your poll is probably bogus, or doesn’t exist.

 

[YukonJack]

SirJosephPorter, you will need a new dictionary to look up the meaning of the words: "HYPOCRISY" and "hypocrite".

When on one breath you berate Rasmussen as totally unreliable, Republican, conservative and subjective poll and then on the other you quote it to support your argument, it IS hypocrisy and it makes you a hypocrite.

When you are too lazy to do a bit of googling and you accuse others of lying, that is even worse.
