Obama Gallup Rating Drops to Below 50%
For the first time of his administration, President Obama's job approval rating has dropped to 49 percent in the Gallup poll. While it has been hovering in the low 50s for months now, the drop below 50 percent in the most well-known poll is an important symbolic moment that will add to the narrative that Obama is losing the support of the American people. The news comes just as Congress is hoping to enter the homestretch on health care, his top domestic priority. Click on the link for some historical context of other presidents.

When President Clinton went to congress he told them pass anything because he knew logic and the common man would eventually catch up with the petty socialists in control of the legislative and executive. Unfortunately, even if the country manages to show them the door next year, the damage will have been done. Pyrrhus would be proud of the destruction they plan to sow.
Seven Million missing jobs, all thanks to your government’s expansion.
My back of the napkin calculations after three sudsy beverages shows that the extreme growth of government spending as a percent of GDP may have cost the U.S. taxpayer 7.5 million jobs from 1993 until 2008.
But, of course, the solution to our economic woes is more government spending. I mean, as a percent of GDP it will only be 45% of GDP this year when you count federal, state, and local largesse. I just saw an image of Fidel Castro in the head of my beer, I think I might faint.

Out of context, again, Philip??? Reagan's approval rating dropped to 35% in January, 1983, because he couldn't turn around the economy. His average approval rating over his entire presidency was only 52%.
As I've said over the past several months, when the economy turns around and jobs start increasing, so will the approval ratings -- and you know it. Do you really like to feed the populist, unintelligent drones red meat like this? Wouldn't it be better to tell the truth and give perspective so that they would know that they are in for a big disappointment when the economy turns around? (And it will because it is the private sector that controls the economy -- not the government).
