Disapproval of Obama rises in state, poll shows

Uh oh!! Looks like Barry might be losing California!

Disapproval of Obama rises in state, poll shows

SOURCE

While a bare majority of voters in solidly blue California still approve of President Obama's job performance, dissatisfaction with his leadership on key issues has increased significantly - especially among those who were once solidly part of his base, according to a Field Poll released Tuesday.

And in a finding that could affect Obama's fellow Democrats as they head into the 2014 elections, the poll shows that just one-third of California voters surveyed say the country is moving in the right direction, while 55 percent believe it is "seriously off on the wrong track." That's a significant decline from February, when 48 percent said the country was on the right track and 44 percent said it was on the wrong track.

The 51 percent of respondents who approve of Obama's performance represents an 11-point slide in the Field Poll since the start of his second term. His disapproval rating stands at 43 percent.

Among those souring on the president are groups that have been among his strongest supporters, the poll showed - Latinos (a 16-point jump in disapproval), union households (18 points) and women (13 points).

Even among Democrats overall, Obama's negative rating is 18 percent, double the total in July.

Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field Poll, said the downward trend is cause for concern for the Democratic Party as it looks toward the 2014 midterm elections.

Obama started his second term with a positive job rating of nearly 2-1, DiCamillo noted, "and now it's only 5-4. And what's most disturbing is that the biggest declines over that period are coming from his base, voters he carried by a huge margin. That's unusual ... because it puts more voters in play if they're becoming disaffected."

The sliding right track versus wrong track numbers show that the botched implementation of Obama's signature accomplishment in domestic policy, the Affordable Care Act, is taking a toll on voter confidence, DiCamillo said. "Now people are not feeling good, even with a Democrat in the White House," he said.

Obama's approval-disapproval numbers on the issue of health care have suffered markedly, the poll showed. Half of those surveyed disapprove of Obama's performance in that area, compared with 43 percent who approve. In March 2010, when the health care law was approved, the numbers were split, 45-45 percent.

On foreign policy, Obama's approval-disapproval ratings are now 49-40 percent, down significantly from October 2009, when he enjoyed a 58-29 percent advantage, the poll showed.

The Field Poll surveyed 766 registered voters in California from Nov. 14 to Dec. 1. The margin of error on the overall job-approval rating was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points; among the smaller sample groups, the margin of error was plus or minus 4.5 points.

The WashingtoncomPost is losing faith in our leader too.

Source

Recent polling from the Pew Research Center and Quinnipiac University has shown Obama's approval rating on almost all major issues plunging into the 30s -- below even his lowest-ever overall approval rating, which has stood around 40 percent in recent polls.

One might expect Obama's issue approval rating to be lagging on the economy, for example. And it is.

But even with an issue on which which the president appears to fall in line with a majority of Americans, he's struggling.

The Pew poll showed Obama's approval rating on immigration, for instance, was at 32 percent, with 60 percent disapproving, and Quinnipiac showed just 35 percent approving of Obama on that issue.

This is despite his push for a comprehensive immigration reform package that, in principle, Americans support. Two recent polls have shown about six in 10 Americans support the idea of a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants currently living in the United States -- the linchpin of comprehensive reform.

Like always the Repukes will fuck things up when people realize they trust a book of ancient middle eastern fairy tales (bible) instead of actual FACTS when it comes to climate change.

Also the Repukes refusal to accept marriage equality and THOUSANDS of people signing up for Obamacare every day will doom the GOP!

Does this mean that a Republican, somewhere, has referred to the bible when discussing climate change - so you've magnified that into "this is what ALL Republicans believe", or is this just another one of your "shit I made up entirely" fictions? Because you do have quite a long and colorful track record for talking absolute fabricated shite, Rattrules. :lol:

In other words, you made it up again, right? :lol: Your track record for total bullshit is extended yet again. :lol:

You just invent things in your head, then you tap them out expecting people to be dumb enough to believe you.

You are remarkably stupid, and completely transparent - and when challenged, you provide nothing at all to back up your position, because last time you tried that, you wound up looking like a bigger dolt than usual, by quoting sources that you didn't realize actually opposed your position. :lol:

A classic RATTrules response - one that doesn't back up anything that he has said, primarily because he made shit up. :lol: You can't even defend your own words because you know that you're full of crap, and when challenged, you fold, and revert to immediate namecalling just like the GOP that you claim to despise. :lol:

Serious question for you RATTrules - if you truly believe the things you say you stand for, why do you lie so much? For someone who claims to speak "the truth", you really do have a very VERY deep line in fabricated bullshit. :lol:

Rattrules' generalizations are every bit as bad as the Christian right's generalizations.
He's listening to himself, while the real message is unheard.
That shit goes NOWHERE.

Foed the idiot a long time ago, but thanks to people quoting, I said it before, say it again.. There is no way Rattdruls is serious with the bullshit they post.. The trolling is beyond obvious..

Rambling, drooling, the stupid nicknames for his religious and Republican foes, and the most obvious, claiming Pearcy's vocals live are great.. :lol:

You do know that Obama's a christian right? I don't know what you do more, rail against christianity, or swing from Obama's nuts. As much as you clam christians, it's odd that it doesn't seem to bother you at all that your hero Obama's one as well.

It's possible: RATTrules is either trolling for attention or a genuine, real-life window-licking fuckwit.

I think that Rattrules' problem is that Rattrules has a very limited scope and doesn't look at the big picture. Rattrules' "opinions" appear to be based on sensationalism, with blatant disregard to details.

The sad part is that's your average American voter on both sides of the spectrum. If you want to see something really scary, go take a part time job at a Pollster firm during election season. You'll talk to people nationwide that are RATTrules. Sure they may deviate in philosophy but its still the same ideology when you get down to brass tacks.

...which is alarming, when you think about it - all jokes aside, there are people out there who are as equally jaw-droppingly dumb as RATTrules, AND they are still allowed to vote. That's scary.

And manufacturing of "supporting facts", let's not forget. Which he gets comically wrong, too. :lol:

He ignores inconvenient facts. It's what "hardcore atheists" (his description of himself, lol) do.

In fact - what kind of person describes themselves as a "hardcore atheist" anyway? You've gotta be educationally challenged to pull that one out of your ass in the first place. :lol:

I'm an atheist myself, and my feelings on it are pretty strong, especially when it comes to government and religion, but I always thought the term 'hardcore atheist' is just dumb.

Same here (despite this fucking dummy's assertion that I'm a "ChristNUT", lol) - but here we have someone who is perpetually mocking religion (well, he seems to have a hard-on for Christians in particular) even in threads that are not related to the subject, he quotes (wrongly) from extremist anti-Christian websites while claiming to not have extremist views himself, all the while supporting the election of a committed Christian. Go figure.

A troll or a cretin? It's one or the other. I just find it slightly worrying that someone that spectacularly dumb is allowed to have access to an internet connection. :lol:
