Obama Below 50% in Rassmussen Poll
Back in March I did a piece Countdown to 49%, analyzing President Obama's already-slipping poll numbers.
Included was a reader's poll asking when the approval rating would fall below half- and congratulations to my readers, I'm proud to say they guessed it dead-on. July 2009 was 44% of The Reaganite Republican readers' choice, far and away the favorite pick. And I think I learned something from all of you... the next time I run a predictions-poll here... I'm running out to Vegas and putting $1000 on the result!
Besides the fact that Obama's now at the symbolic 49% point, the Rasmussen differential between those who "strongly approve" and "strongly dissapprove" of his overall job performance is also at an all time low... a negative eight. Hopefully this continuing shift in public opinion will embolden the GOP to filibuster both Cap-n-Tax and Obamacare right into the ground if either of these seriously flawed pieces of far-left legislation hobble their way on to the Senate.
And it's surely in the nations' interest that this arrogant montebank be knocked-down a peg or two... it's becoming more than obvious that Team Obama's radical agenda and ludicrous spending is not only completely out-of-control. This ideological binge comes at a time that calls for pragmatic management- and isn't what a lot of independents and moderate Democrats voted for last fall either... not by a long shot-

And that's not all from the 2008 election's most accurate pollster Rasmussen Reports... other interesting numbers out today:
Fifty-three percent (53%) now oppose the Congressional health care reformpackage. That’s up eight points over the past month. Just 20% now see healthcare as the most important of the President’s priorities. Nearly twice as many, 37%, say deficit reduction is most important.
Fifty-five percent (55%) of California voters oppose the budget agreementreached by the state’s political leaders. Sixty-four percent (64%) believe thatillegal immigrants create a major strain on the state’s budget.
Nationwide, 72% don’t want the federal government determining what type of light bulbs they should purchase.
Forty-six percent (46%) say that network television news is more reliable than the internet. Thirty-five percent (35%) disagree.
Thirty-one percent (31%) now say the U.S. is heading in the right direction. That’s down nine points from the 2009 peak. Republicans continue to enjoy a slight edge on the Generic Congressional Ballot.
A pitiful 25% believe that the economic stimulus package has helped the economy...
See recent demographic highlights from the Presidential Tracking Poll. For more measures of the President’s performance, see Obama By the Numbers.
UPDATE Sat July 25th: Obama slips in Rasmussen Poll differential to -9%... a new all-time low for this administration. Looks like a lot of people sympathized with Officer Crowley...
158 Documented Lies from America's Prevaricator-in-Chief
It takes a pretty concerted effort to flippantly explain away/sweep-under-the-rug 158 intentional falsehoods from the habitually dishonest Barack Obama in little under a year... but that's what the American MSM have done. And in neglecting their Constitutionally-implied duties, they've become little more than the administration's propaganda arm and shameless Obamapologists... with their already thin credibility now down to one quark.
The tactics of the president's rabble-rousing mentor Saul Alinsky call for deception and deflection- how many times has Barack Obama said one thing but done another? Alinsky's techniques were also employed in the disinformation campaign against Rush Limbaugh et. al.
And Obama seems to think that everybody's as stupid as the people who voted for him. When not lying blatantly, he makes the loosest, most general statements possible- then implies deliberate falsehoods, i.e. that George W Bush is responsible for all the current rampant spending and quadrupling of the budget deficit because it started under him.
The Dear Leader's really pretty squirelly, and changes his story at-will... while we plebes are expected to just swallow this ever-morphing and malleable version of reality as it goes along. Obama also contradicts himself constantly, while the press does idiotic stories on his puppy vetting process and how he and Joey Pluggs like to go out for cheeseburgers.
Chairman O wants the state to be your mother and father- and seems to feel that it’s his right to lie to you if he wishes… just like your parents when you were five. Government will be one you come to for money, ask permission when you want to think or speak, and who handles all your finances for you since of course you can’t be trusted.
The blog Obama WTF (What's the Facts?) has done a great job compiling a list of 158 Documented Obama Lies... obviously a substantial ongoing endeavor, since the author of these whoppers is a such a prolific reprobate. And as noted yesterday at RedState, Obama's fiction is getting more brazen, if anything.

1) a statement by one or more reliable news agencies or credible authorities citing supporting verifiable facts which rebut a reported statement by Obama.This therefore EXCLUDES unintentional gaffes, i.e. Auschwitz Memorial Day blip; the 57 States, etc. which can be found at New Gaffe City.
2) observable video/transcript contradictions
3) the omission of an important fact the exclusion of which defies common sense unless the intent is to deceive
This therefore also excludes flip-flops unless:
a) Obama is seen to be holding multiple positions depending on the audience, eg The Jerusalem flip flop...where his position was altered with 18 hours, talking to different audiences.Credit to each of the following news outlets who are some of the most cited in the
or b) Obama lies about holding a different position e.g denying he favored gun control

Americans Now Favor Republicans on 8 out of 10 Top Issues
Today, a look at what our friends are saying in The Netherlands about the latest developments Stateside:
_____________________________
As I have been saying at Dutch blog De Dagelijkse Standaard for months now, I consider a Republican comeback in 2010 all but inevitable. Democrats in Congress, and President Barack Obama, started to overplay their hand at the very moment they took office this year, after Democrats had won all elections.
They mistook their victories for a radical change in American society at large. America is no longer a center right nation, or so they said. As a result, they immediately pushed big, expansive plans through Congress that would radically alter the relationship between citizens and their government, but that would do little else. The stimulus plan was expensive, and increased the size of the federal government tremendously, but will do nothing to actually stimulate the economy.
Obama’s health care plans will destroy the current strengths of the American health care system, but does little to deal with its existing weaknesses. The Democrats’ climate change bills, nonetheless, will reduce global warming by… nothing, but they will weaken the American economy considerably and cost the tax payer a whole lot of money nonetheless.
Furthermore, the way Obama deals with enemies like North Korea and Iran jeopardizes American interests and therefore peace. He emboldens the Mullahs and other enemies of freedom. It will not be long before Americans understand this, I have always believed, and so they will turn to Republicans for a little balance and, especially, policies and plans that may actually serve their interests.
A new Rasmussen poll published yesterday clearly shows that the above prediction is already becoming reality. It shows that “voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral issues, including, for the second straight month, the top issue of the economy.” As if that is not enough, Republicans have almostclosed the gap on the two remaining issues, health care and education.
Let’s start with the economy, because this is the number one issue on voters’ mind and the very reason Democrats won the elections last year:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that voters trust the GOP more on economic issues 46% to 41%, showing little change from the six-point lead the party held last month. This is just the second time in over two years of polling the GOP has held the advantage on economic issues. The parties were close on the issue in May, with the Democrats holding a one-point lead. Voters not affiliated with either party trust Republicans more to handle the economy by a 46% to 32% margin.
Especially the last point is incredibly important. Democrats won elections, starting in 2006, because Independents supported them. If these voters now turn to Republicans, the latter can be confident they’ll strike back next year.
More issues:
Most voters (52%) now trust Republicans more on the issue of taxes, also the highest level found in over two years. Only 36% trust Democrats more on taxes. A survey conducted at the end of June found that 39% of voters now expect their taxes to go up under Obama, the highest level of concern measured to date.On national security, Republicans hold a 49% to 40% lead over Democrats. That’s down from a 15-point lead last month.The GOP has a 40% to 34% lead on the issue of immigration and is ahead 46% to 39% on abortion. Republicans also edge out Democrats on government ethics and corruption for the second straight month, 34% to 33%. In June, the GOP held a six-point advantage on the issue.Also for the first time in over two years, Republicans lead Democrats on the issue of Social Security 42% to 37%. Democrats held a six-point lead on the issue last month, and the parties were tied in April.
The only issues on which Democrats are more trusted are health care and education. But even here they’re losing that trust fast:
Democrats have also seen their leads shrink on two of the party’s strong points, health care and education. The party holds a four-point lead on health care, down from 18 points in May. The Democrats’ advantage on the issue is the smallest found in over two years…On education, Democrats lead Republicans 41% to 38%, also the smallest margin in over two years. Democrats held a 15-point lead in May on the issue.
That’s - on both issues - within the margin of error.
To summarize: Republicans are simply more trusted nowadays.
The only surprise of this poll is that it was conducted and published this weekend. I thought it would take Democrats at least a year or so before they would convince Americans that united government is a horrible idea, especially when the Democratic Party is the party in power. It only took them six months. That’s quite an accomplishment.
Fifty-four percent (54%) of all voters say the average congressional Democrat is more liberal than they are, while 36% believe the average Republican congressman is more conservative in comparison to themselves. Just 44% say their own representative in Congress is about the same as them ideologically.
Democrats have to turn this around if they want to keep their sizable majorities in the House and the Senate next year. From the looks of it though, they may have to settle for very slim minorities next year, and they may even lose the House.
Let’s hope so.
