As the economy sags, unemployment climbs and debt negotiators dawdle, President Obama’s job approval rating has fallen to a new low.
A new Gallup Poll, just released, finds the Democrat’s job approval rating has dropped to 40% in recent days, one point below his previous low from April and a full 10 points below the job approval he enjoyed as recently as June 7.
Gallup notes his job approval has hovered in the mid-40s for most of the last two months.
“However,” the new survey says, “it has stumbled in the past few days, coinciding with intensification of the debt ceiling/budget battle in Washington.”
No one is coming out of the negotiation stalemate with a high approval rating. But much of the attention in the media had focused on House Republicans and Speaker John Boehner’s ongoing attempts to rein in rebellious “tea party” advocates.
Until now.
Unexpected.
Unemployment among young blacks is 44%. It is almost 20 % among the rest of the blacks. The real unemployment among whites is between 14 and 16%. That approval number should be lower
Funniest thing I’ve read today was about people unfollowing Obama on Twitter.
OK, it was NOT a very fun day, news-wise.
But check out some of their comments:
LOL!
UNexpected behavior?
Too funny!
I totally agree!
Apparently 33,000 people UNFollowed Obama just today.

The big winner in this mess with Obama and unyielding right wing getting blamed? Mitt Romney is now odds on favorite to be the next POTUS. Tea Party saves face if he picks Rubio ensuring victory.
Hello fellow Conservative “Birthers”, now the Declaration and Constitution are predicated on preserving Peace & Justice so too it is our justified responsibility to preserve Peace & Justice at all hazards. Therefore, there must not be a palace revolt attempting extraction of the absess prematurely from the WH. Albeit true, there is something rotten in WashDish the fruit filled transition to restoration happens with the 2012 elections. Our job is to Ridicule – Ridicule – Ridicule attacking all the usual suspects; Reid, Geitner, Bernacke, Holder, Napalitanio, Sibelius, Emanuel, Carney, Wassermann-Schultz, Pelosi isolating the foreign prince deep within his circle of incompetence. Be on guard, any liberal fly encountered that poses praise for Obama can be met and ended with an easy and immediate swap.
THE SOOTHSAYER,
HI, THAT IS the proclamation of the year ending NOVEMBER 2012,
MAY ALL TAKE NOTE AND ACTION, TO RENDER THE ISSUE ACQUIRED AND TERMINATE
ON DUE DATE OF THIS PROCLAMATION, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, GOD HELP AMERICA.
