Obama's Approval Numbers Plummet!!
Filed under: Barack Obama
President Barack Obama is looking at his lowest approval rating ever!
His ratings have fallen drastically, according to new polls, with 29% of the nation's voters still standing firm on strongly approving the performance of Obama, while 37% that strongly disapprove.
Only 78% of Democrats still stand behind Obama's diplomacy, with the women offering more approval than men!
"Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That’s the lowest level of total approval yet recorded."
Not good, Barack. Better start making good on all those promises you made in your campaign!

Perez is effing gay and must be watching too much Fox news channel!!
hahaha…….. poor obama.
we should have voted for
the other one !
He is making good - it's all the health care scare now, people are freaked out about a bill that isn't even complete! Wait and read people, then decide.
hahahahahah nice job hussein!
Love it. Such an arrogant liar. and married to a tranny.
You're comments on politics really show how little you know about it and that it is probably best that you keep this to a hollywood gossip site. Anyone that knows anything about political polling knows rasmussaen is a republican leaning poll. Their numbers are always the lowest for democrats and were so throughout the campaign. So please save it.
Its Washington that voters disapprove of
The president is merely a puppet
as was Bush
We need to clean out washington if we really want "Change"
dang…not surprised…
Saw this coming miles away…. when you want to quickly get away from "The Devil You Know," sometimes you get stuck with "The Devil You Don't Know."
As a Canadian, I'm glad I didn't have to vote for either of the most recent American candidates, although their influence on my country sometimes makes me feel as though I SHOULD be able to vote down south…
Those aren't exactly plummeting numbers you asshole. Obama can't pull miracles out of his ass in one year considering what a mess this country was in when he took over. It takes years asshole.
Obama is an idiot and whoever voted for him is an extreme leftist or is an idiot themselves.
He may not be my choice but judging him should be put off until election time, until then he is our president. There are plenty of very real criticisms of him that make sense yet there may come crisis in the future that shows him to be about more than promises.
All I'm saying is next years mid term elections should be really interesting!
And it only took you 6 months for you to figure this guy out. Does that mean we won't have to suffer thru any more blog entries about Michele's arms or her vegtable garden? What is a $1.8 Trillion debt compared to these weighty matters.
Just hoping he doesn't do too much damage before the next election…keeping my fingers crossed his awful taxes and health care bill don't pass too!
Rasmussen is a Republican POLL. Good to see you are doing the bidding for teh right wing noise machine.
Look at reputable polls.
You are clueless Perez.
lol i knew this would happen…i was amazed at how any people fell on the bandwagon…
LOL!! Do you actually think he will follow through with anything he "promised"??? Did you ever think he would?? YOUR STUPID
WAX! God, people he's been in office less than a year…he's not superman!Anyone who doesnt know how the government system works, would know how long it takes to get ANYTHING done…g-damn!
You Americans are so greedy and impatient. You thought Obama was gonna change the world overnight. Well newsflash, people: cleaning up the mess your former beloved president left behind is gonna take a while. It's so easy to criticize when all you have to do is sit and wait for things to change. Let the man do his job, will ya? The way I see it, the world is a much better place ever since Obama was elected.
totally saw this coming…. you can't please everyone… he is just another "talker"
imo- easy to fix, allow a same sex marital status.
done.
Who are these "voters"? I voted, and so many of the people I know voted, and we don't remember taking any poll. Where are they drawing these statistics from?
THIS COUNTRY WAS FUCKED WHEN HE CAME IN. NO ONE CAN FIX IT IN A MATTER OF MONTHS.IMPATIENT SPOILED AMERICANS
What promises are those Perez? Do you think he can solve these problems in 7 months? Some of the Bush-era problems may take a generation to fix. Things are moving in the right direction. It takes time. He didn't have 1 problem to work on. He had an economy on the verge of falling into a depression, 2 wars, a healthcare crisis, and so much more.
Oh, and, btw — he didn't promise you could get married in the Rose Garden, so that one doesn't count!
Count me in firmly with the 29% — and proud!
Yeah, cause John McCain and Sarah Palin would have solved everything by now…
I wish that the American public would remember that Obama has only been in office since January! That's a whole 8 months. How can people expect him to be able to fix all of these problems that have been building for 8+ years. Obama has also clearly stated that his economic plan would not be an instant fix, nothing is.
k…1
those are definately inaccurate numbers.
2. he can't make good as all the promises he made for ONE TERM in a year.
it doesn't work that way.
and its not his fault hes working hard he just is struggling to get a lot of the stuff passed.
and the health care scare/ racism doesnt help his approval rating.
he's done more in one year than bush ever did in 8 years.
so people need to back off and stop being racist and start trusting him more. he only has our country in his best interest and wants to improve the shitty health care we have.
my dad lost his job so we now don't have health insurance and my mom had to pay $400 just for her medication.
he doesn't want death pannels or anything of that sort.
he jsut wants a health care system that works and the bill isn't complete and is still undergoing revisions so stop being so quick to judge and criticize.
impeach obama!
OMG..Brainwashed Americans are finally waking up! could it be they finally realize Obama is a narcissistic liar car salesman?I smell another false flag terrorist attack by our gov't coming real soon! just look at what happened when that chimp Bush's approval rating tanked,we got 911 and we got all patriotic and forgave Bush for being a complete moron,the false flag could be H1N1 flu pandemic? don't take the vaccination!
Consider the source - Rasmussen has always been a right-leaning outlier. They only have crediblity with Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and the mindless dolts who live for right-wing propaganda.
Re: elo – thank you for being the first person that didn't want him for president that is actually acting mature and reasonable.
Wow finally people are coming to their senses… unfortunately Fox news is the only place you can get fair coverage on the news. I love how all other networks are calling these people who have a problem with the healthcare plan "Malitia Groups", yet we saw unprecedented hatred and disgust toward Bush and they received the term "protesters"… double standard?
people are so fckin stupid. obama has to make up 8 YEARS WORTH OF FCKIN UP THE ECONOMY !!! does ANYBODY REALIZE THAT ??!! he has JUST qottin into office you think everythinq qonna chanqe riqht then & now ? barack even told the nation that thinqs are not qonna chanqe riqht then & now. qive the man some slack & qet off his dick !
POLLS MEAN NOTHING JUST ASK JOHN MCCAIN
That is what you get when you elect a community organizer to be POTUS. He's an idiot and he uses planted questions at every fucking town hall he goes too. FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
(Apologies to Bette Davis in Now Voyager) "Let's not ask for our rights..we already have Barack." If only I had two cigarettes. Translation: BO's opinion must be that it should be enough for the people who supported him to have the pleasure of his presidency and they should sacrifice all the wonderful things he promised so he doesn't offend the left and possibly lose a voting bloc. Sad and discouraging.
He's for the p-o-o-r…not the middle class. I know people who cannot get 'cash for clunkers', people who worked 7 days a week who lost their jobs and homes, people who can't afford health insurance. The middle class!
… worst decision ever made by the american people..
did we not learn soo much from george bush.?
i would not have voted for him in a million years & i am proud to say that i'm glad i didnot because all the ratards out there will soon notice that they f*cked up by voting for him… DUMB !
Perez, you shouldn't expect miracles overnight! He did make those promises but he also said that he would need time. Give the guy a break!
He hasn't even had time to do fucking anything and people are ready to take him down already! Its BS and our culture of instant gratification is just not reality based and he has 8 years worth of bad policy to make up for…give him a flippin break already and go out and volunteer or something instead of bashing someone TRYING to make the world a better place…you go out and do it for yourself and then you can fucking complain.
Re: Melanie_Marie8 – ohhh okay, is that what your daddy told you honey? Grow up!
butt its not like we had a choice since dumb Sarah Palin was VP to John McCain ….
oh for gods sakes. it's only been 6 months, and he was left with quite the mess to clean up. cut him some effin slack. fuck, people are never happy.
Re: TeenyTina – are you fucking serious? Fox news is the biggest joke out there and only geared towards propaganda and fear mongers. Like the little old man on there the other day saying "I don't want the government in my Medicare" DOH! Who the fuck does he think runs Medicare…bunch of retards that oppose anything they know nothing about..which is A LOT!
Re: YourFavoriteGirl * – @ 2 - i did vote for the other one…it's the fools in America that actually believe a fucken word he said
he's a politician….did anyone really believe he'd follow thru w/ his "promises"?
Re: Laury –
AMEN!!! Could NOT have said it any better myself!!! I'm not American but I do have enough American news crammed down my throat to have a decent understanding of what sort of shit show that country is! I am not refering to Americans themselves, as I think Americans are good, hard working people. It's Amercian politicans that are the fucking morons in that country…with the exception of Obama who, because he hasn't pulled a miracle out of his ass in the what, eight months since he's been in office, is all of a sudden doing a shitty job??? That's fucking sad! President Bush took EIGHT YEARS to fuck things up for that country, so for people to expect Obama to fix everything in eight months is retarded. But maybe this is why the country is in such a terrible situation….because they have no patience and no ability to focus on anything for longer than two seconds.
The US will get out of the situation they are in…but it will take some time to do so, and I don't think bashing Obama is gonna get things fixed any faster.
Also, this is a site dedicated to Hollywood gossip…not some sort of political forum, so why the fuck is this even on here? Oh yeah! Because EVERYONE in the US is treated as a celebrity (Hollywood style) whether they are in the industry or not and therefore subjected to being gossiped about on these cheesy websites.
I love you, Perez, but stick to bitchin' about Lindsay, Paris and whoever else is the "ho du jour"!!! *LO*
Yeah because every pres thats been keeps campaign promises. I saw this one coming, but I also foresee his numbers rising when we come out of this recession mind set….so about another year or two. just in time for the next election.
I agree with Nevereverknewhim…. Read people!!
He's 100 million times better than Bush!!!!!!!!!!
People who comment on this fucked up website are not exactly college grads with degrees in political issues so SHUT THE FUCK UP! Just thought I would pop in and give my two cents…I am guilty of being white…and I do support health care for ALL AMERICANS!! THIS IS FUCKING AMERICA!! EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE HEALTH CARE!! I fell much better now.
This Must Be the NEW White power Site….Go Going Perez
Re: black__eyed_fat_loser – Oh go cheer for the underage whore Miley Cyrus!!
Re: Melanie_Marie8 – "extreme leftist"?! Go back to school in the fall dear, you're obviously in high school still
[re=4188624]Re: poopdiddy2008[/r Why, fucking, why do you have a picture of David Westerfield?
HA HA, STUPID PORCH MONKEY!
Americans are afraid of healthcare reform. The country is run like a private institution where private interests overrun public good.
It'll pass.
ALL POLITICIANS BREAK PROMISES.. IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT, YOU DON'T KNOW POLITICS.. SAD BUT TRUE..
Obama used the word "change" to make people think ANY change was better. Nobody bothered to ask what kind of change. A similar scenario is following here. There is no way to PAY for this health care bill. It won't be covered by his proposed tax increases. Obama has managed to set this country back financially in a very short time. The effects are going to be felt for decades. Wake up people!
Re: poopdiddy2008 – Why, fucking, why do you have a picture of David Westerfield?
Re: Neverevenknewhim – Agreed.
Re: notafan! –
Ummm, open your eyes, every poll says he is falling. Even Robert Gibbs the buffoon mentioned the polls in his daily chatter.
People are catching on he is a liar.
Re: chrisjman – OOPS replace 'left' with 'right' in my post. I better lay off the booze (if only)
People are finally starting to wake up!!! And don't say he can't " pull miracles out of his ass" because there are presidents who actually did something other then going on talk shows in 6 months of being in office. Brush up on you history people!!!!!
Re: Orator – It's not reform we're afraid of - it's loss of our liberties. It's the government telling us WHAT to do - WHEN to do it - HOW to do it and taking half of our paychecks in order to accomplish that. It's the issue of loss of privacy - loss of the right to say NO.
Re: Melanie_Marie8 –
Do me a favor and go fuck your face stupid bitch.
He needs to watch his back. Isn't this a new record low for such a short time?
Re: OhGina – That'll never happen.. It's wrong..
You could only wish for those approval ratings douchebag.
WHY DID YOU IDIOTS VOTE FOR THIS FUCKER. NEXT TIME, VOTE ON THE ISSUES, NOT SKIN COLOR AND "CHANGE"
No one called me and I live in the nation, and I'm a woman, and a Democrat voter.
Hey! This must mean that this poll in BS!!! NO fair!
Talk about low, even Cheney's new book is going to bash the shit out of Bush!
.
ANYONE WHO BRAVELY STEPPED UP TO TAKE THIS OFFICE WAS GOING TO BE CRITICIZED! DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!
.
CHANGE TAKES TIME!
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – bitch shut the fuck up-
im sorrry youre fave candidate is fucking up the country and people have noticed and youre throwing a hissy fit about it- OH wait- NO IM NOT!!!
go sob into your joe biden action figure
ahahahahahaha
obama is failing- just like all these stupid democratic commentators on this site!!!
eat shit!!! YOUR president sucks balls and its FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!!!
Perez, I think you are practicing irresponsible reporting right now with your claims that he isn't delivering on his promises. Wasn't fixing our flawed health care system one of the promises? And yet here we are again, with the right side harassing and spreading lies, using scare tactics to sway the uninformed (anyone remember Hillary Clinton's attempt?!)- which includes you who watch Fox News. You want unbiased news?! Read the Christian Science Monitor and then talk to me. In fact, maybe you should read that before you go to the Town Hall meetings spreading the lies, verbatim, from Glenn Beck's mouth! Because 20 years from now, history will look back at this all as the comeback of the "No Nothing Party." I come from an upper middle class family and I was laid off from my job and currently have no health insurance. Even when I did, I knew the companies were ripping me off. What Obama is proposing is exactly the definition of capitalism.
Re: Neverevenknewhim – And it was Obama who pushed to sign that bill BEFORE leaving for vacation before it was complete.
With a public option, there will be competition for the private insurance companies and they will have to lower their prices for you who intend to remain with a private insurance company. Translation - they wont be raking in the massive profits off of your basic need of caring for your health. Whether you realize this or not, this will benefit all of you - not just the "poor people" as someone has stated. But I guess you wouldn't know that because you watch Fox News. Expand your minds a bit, you might be surprised to learn what world you are living in. And Perez - those polls are flawed - find something else to report on.
Re: shopgrl – Rassmunsen, Yahoo, AP, Gallup - the poll of polls even shows he's down to around 50% approval. Make excuses about it however you want, but every single poll has him way down.
What promises? You voters are effing crazy for electing another product of the machine. His first employer was Henry Kissinger. Wake Up People! The color of his skin is distracting you, he is not there to fix ANYTHING.
Re: tasha – It's lower than any president for that poll of the last 20 years. No other president scored so lowly after only 6 months in office.
bitter gay!
Re: CandyAppleRed – Well you told her - what are you - 12? Limited vocabulary gives you away every time!
I am NOT surprised. I didn't vote for him, I don't support him, & I hope people are seeing through all his bullshit. I also agree with Red Kitten. Congress is as useless as the United Nations right now. Time to clean house everyone. I say we start with Pelosi.
Re: Laury – It wouldn't be the mess of a former president but the current Congress in office for almost 3 years. When we can't hold the president to his own words - we aren't supposed to be unhappy? It was OBAMA who said all this would be done by now. Not us.
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – excuse me bitch, but until you get a fucking nose job and some liposuction for your fatass body, please dont address me directly.
i feel insulted having been even somewhat associated with what is so clearly an ugly whore, one who jerks off to nancy pelosi every night before she rolls her fatass into her kind sized bed and dreams of the day when she can afford her gastric bypass and nose shaving. once your face is slightly more attractive then lady gagag's, then you can talk to other people on this site. until then FUCK OFF,
new jersey white trash!!
HAHAHAH this is hillarrriious love how all the fucking ignorant liberals finally realize their CHANGE comes with a handful of bullshit. soo funny how people think the most self centered and corrupt politician that has been in the whitehouse since nixon will be the almighty giver and hep the poor..sorry bitches wont happen. obama will drive this country into the ground no doubt in my mind. cracks me up how many dumb fucks bought what this idiot was selling. cant wait till the rates are worse than bush you fucking liberals.
Re: so what – The economy had signs of stabilizing until massive spending bills on Congress. Drop the Kool-Aid. Americans are reigning in much more by all accounts and especially the latest numbers today, and are STILL NOT SPENDING even with all that so called cash ($40 for some). The massive spending hasn't been spent because of all the fraud..
Re: Sarah FAILin – No, but McCain was a realist and said it would take time. Obama said he could do it by now and campaigned on that.
perez, obama hasn't even been in office for a year. how is he supposed to do EVERYTHING by now? people expect miracles that just can't happen right away. it's so ridiculous.
Re: kateeloveesyouu – And Biden who's admitted he wasn't the best option for VP, publicly admitted they didn't know about the economy was?
Obama used one word his whole campaign that swayed so many Americans to his side: change. When you use a word that powerful during a time of crisis, any one will expect you to come through as soon as possible. It wasn't until he made his speech the night he won the election that he said this "change" wouldn't happen right away. He already had the vote, so he knew he could say that the change wouldn't be immediate. It's a shame, and at the same time he had it coming.
Let's look at his and Biden's own words, shall we? Obama's been to 57 states. Biden admits to his and Obama campaigning without understanding the economy. Obama bowls like a retard. Obama tells a parapalegic to STAND UP. Biden - JOBS is a three letter word. Biden - TV was around in 1929 and Roosevelt was president. Biden says Obama's opponent Hillary is more qualified than he is to be VP. The questions asked of Sarah were never ONCE posed to any Democratic candidates. Obama's soundbite of transparency, while several key annual reports are under lock and key. Obama during Primaries saying that he wanted to eventually eliminate private health care - today, uh uh no. Obama - cops acted stupidly but I don't know the facts. Obama - I haven't raised taxes yet. February - a new federal cigarette tax went into effect.
Cont': 2004 - Obama complains about Patriot Act rushing through legislation after 8 months. He wanted healthcare passed in less than 6. Obama: I'm going to bring our boys home and Bush wasteful spending on the wars. Recently, pushed a bill to fund the wars larger than Bush ever did. Obama: Cut spending over 90 days by $100 million. Never happened. Obama's website: Push through gay agendas, including focusing on DADT immediately. It's since been removed and he has refused to speak on it himself. Goog cache ftw. Obama: I met my wife in Class. Records indicate they never attended college the same time. Obama: Make people who cheat or fail to pay their taxes go to jail. Hired half his staff under severe tax disputes. Obama: I saved X number of jobs… pick a speech. The jobs under stimulus have not been created because of fraud issues. The jobs he was supposed to bring back, never happened. We are about to hit 10% unemployment. Obama: I won't bail out another industry like the failed bailouts of many banks. Here ya go GM, have some money. And we'll bail you out by making little guys think they are winning. Give less than the population of Vermont a voucher of tax pay offs, to give biz to the auto industry.
Re: tasha – While we disagree about Obama, everyone in the legal, historical, or political world knows that a LOT of problems stem from two or more administration's messes. For example, we are still trying to recover from Jimmy Carter, Clinton's Foreign Policy, and Reganomics. I don't like him, but give the dude a chance.
More you say? Obama: My father is an atheist. Oops, forget those little pics down there. References his Muslim father in a press conference call… Obama calls out corporate benefits wasting taxpayer money. Couple days later - SHOCK!!! A date to New York, fully paid by taxes. Obama campaigning: Bin Laden should be top priority as a threat to us… January, he don't matter. Obama: I'll delay NASA funding as it's unnecessary spending. Approved budget giving NASA the most money ever funded for the programs they asked for. Obama: I will cut A, B, and C taxes immediately. None happened. One that also included giving businesses a tax credit for new employees. Obama: You get to keep your healthplan if you like it. Except all the bylaws mean that sure you get to keep it, but it will be governed by the same entity as theirs and must follow their regulations too.
One of my favorite soundbites… The Constitution was written 20 centuries ago. Apparently when Jesus walked the Earth… Lastly - Uhhh uh uumm if I uuuhh umm… what I mean is… umm… sorry there guys… I can't do anything without the teleprompter that's messed up. Let's get that back up guys…
If he would drop this healthcare nonsense I would be a lot happier with him. My healthcare and/or how I pay for it or go about getting it is none of his business. Leave it alone.
Re: k8ebaby – Further into the bill, it also mandates private companies follow the same federal regulations as the public option. Thereby making ALL companies the same, folding to those who can't most efficiently operate more than the government, who can write as many checks as they want to make up for shortfalls.
Whoever didn't see this coming a long time ago is a fucking retard.
Re: gimlet123 – Agreed. The ill informed think the RICH will pay for all. The rich will just cut back - fire you from your job - close businesses - stop contributing to charities and the Arts - and sit back and watch you wait in lines for second rate Health care serviced by second rate doctors while the Drug companies can't afford research costs to provide for updated meds. And you'll end up like the Eastern bloc countries - poor, dictated TO by your GOVERNMENT, living in run down cities and wearing outdated clothing, with no one left to listen to your whining.
And just wait for the moment Bush's tax CUTS expire. People will really have a conniption and won't even remember (or will conveniently forget, since it's apparent of those defending him have) he said he'd allow them to expire. He wouldn't create a new tax - didn't say he wouldn't allow tax cuts and benefits that help middle and lower class to expire and never said he wouldn't raise taxes later.
Re: Jessobviousleigh – no he is too busy growing government and driving up our defecit. he wants the government to control all aspects of our lives. that should scare any one. and no i am not a republican. this man is bringing this country down.
