Now I happen to think this is a pretty big deal and very newsworthy. The chances that it will even be mentioned on MSNBC, CNN, NYT, etc, are slim to none and slim left town a long time ago.

| Barack Obama sees worst poll rating drop in 50 years |
| 2009-10-23 |
| The decline in Barack Obama's popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years. Now I happen to think this is a pretty big deal and very newsworthy. The chances that it will even be mentioned on MSNBC, CNN, NYT, etc, are slim to none and slim left town a long time ago. |

| #7 You left out one, GolfBravoUSMC. 7. They skew their base, generally going two Democrats to one Republican. The most recent numbers I've seen are 1 Dem/1 Repub/1 Independent. |

| #6 Why does the "O" get consistently higher poll numbers when the poll is taken by ABC,CNN, NYT,WaPo, etc. 1. They lie 2. They use trick questions 3. They have a vested interest in his success 4. They think we're dumb 5. They only poll members of the 6. All of the above |

| #4 If you follow the presidential poll at Real Clear Politics, the president's approval has fallen 4% just this week. I suspect this has to do with Obama's handling of Fox. Obama and his minions don't seem to be able to handle any criticism, even from people who wish them well. He reminds me of the Tehran regime. Many of the people being arrested and tortured in Iran had a major role in bringing about the Islamic Revolution. But Tehran (like Obama) can't even tolerate cricism from insiders. |

| #3 Then there are the Herm Edwards football coaches who states that they are going to lose and to get used to it...then wonder why the players have low motivation and no fans show up to the stadium. |

| #2 Most intelligent people would take these polls as a signal that maybe just maybe you are not headed in the right direction and make a correction--unless you have some other agenda--Or you are a dumb bunny and/or arrogant. Good football coaches make these corrections all the time in the second half of a football game. However, if you have an agenda that is radical left and you think that is where the country is going to go no matter what, you are not going to make these corrections. Well, thank God and the voters that the system tends to be self-correcting during mid-terms elections and four year elections. Unfortunately, these corrections don't seem to send the messages they need to send because elected politicians tend to start thinking mandate, the Constitution is for someone else, etc. Somehow, the country needs to go in a direction where there are some major corrections that rein in out-of-control Congress spending and an Executive branch that thinks of itself in terms of czars and 3rd world dictatorships. |

| #1 I just wonder with the bad populatity, how long the dems can cover up the massive corruption that surrounds Obama and his Chicago crew. Someone will use it to score political points if his approval drops much lower. |
