Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, look what the pollsters just brought in.When asked by the White House press about Obama's poor numbers, O's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded with brilliance and maturity.
A pair of new surveys revealing that President Obama is still declining and has hit a new low in job approval among Americans just 56 weeks after they elected him with a decided margin.
And -- wait for it -- Republican Sarah Palin is successfully selling a whole lot more than books out there on the road. Even among those not lining up in 10-degree weather to catch a glimpse of pretty much the only political celebrity the GOP has these days.
“You know, I mean I’m sure a six year old with a crayon could do something not unlike that. I don’t put a lot of stake in, never have, in the EKG that is the daily Gallup trend. I don’t pay a lot of attention to meaninglessness.”Obama's the most popular President ever. Just ask him. And Gibbs is intelligentsia. Poll numbers schmoll numbers. Those only matter when they matter and not when they don't.
The only people this should really worry, outside of the President and the entire West Wing of course, is the media. How will they love on Obama as a sublime political figure whom the masses worship and foriegn leaders obey when Bush at this point in his Presidency was more popular. Much more popular. And people hated Bush.
President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in his term.Does this mean Obama can't heal the world and find homes for all the abandoned puppies?Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and even Richard Nixon all had higher approval ratings 10-and-a-half months into their presidencies. Obama's immediate predecessor, President George W. Bush, had an approval rating of 86 percent, or 39 points higher than Obama at this stage. Bush's support came shortly after he launched the war in Afghanistan in response to the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
