Gallup Poll out: O'so lower



He's changing things. He's breaking records. He's dropping in the polls like few other Presidents before him. He's in O' so much trouble.

Should the slide continue, Obama will by no means be the first president to slide below 50% in the Gallup Poll, which has been tracking public approval of presidents since Harry S. Truman.

But Obama has reached his new low more quickly than most of his predecessors did, according to Gallup. The percentage of people voicing disapproval for the job the president is performing also stands at a near-high of 43%.

Slipping below 50% before November of the first year in office would represent “the third-fastest drop” since World War II, Gallup reports. Republican Gerald Ford slipped below 50% in his third month as president, Democrat Bill Clinton during his fourth month.

It took Republican President Eisenhower five years to fall below 50% in the public’s eye, Gallup notes. It took both Republican George Bushes about three years. It took Democrat Lyndon Johnson and Republican Richard Nixon more than two years.


I know what they can do!

They should put him on Air Force One, flying him around the country on taxpayer money while we're in a recession, and hold town hall meetings about the largest government spending program in history. Make sure he mentions something about wanting opponents to shut up.

Also, he should be on multiple, if not all, Time Magazine covers.

Have a few celebrities visit the White House to talk about government policy. That's always a crowd pleasure.

The media and Democrat reps need to step in here, give him positive press. Maybe vilify his dissenters by calling them perverse sexual names or Nazis.

Then, with all these publicity stunts doing their magic, send him on vacation after six months on the job to Martha's Vineyard. People really relate to Martha's Vineyard. Have him play golf and shun the press.

I think it might work.
