While 80 percent of Democrats are still drinking the Obama Kool-Aid, Independents are seeing the light fast and Obama’s approval from this key voting bloc is not only a problem for him in 2012, but for his party in 2010.
Thirty-eight percent of independents approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president, the first time independent approval of Obama has dropped below 40% in a Gallup Daily tracking weekly aggregate. Meanwhile, Obama maintains the support of 81% of Democrats, and his job approval among Republicans remains low, at 12%.
Over the past year, Obama has lost support among all party groups, though the decline has been steeper among independents than among Republicans or Democrats. Today’s 38% approval rating among independents is 18 percentage points lower than the 56% found July 6-12, 2009. During the same period, his support has fallen nine points among Democrats (from 90% to 81%) and eight points among Republicans (from 20% to 12%).
THis is just so encouraging. After the Big Mistake of ’08 I thought there was no way Obamaphoria would dwindle down enough before 2012, let alone before the 2010 elections. But look at what has happened: Obama’s regime turned out to be as extreme left-wing as we here said he’d be… and he was as incompetent (if not more) than we expected… This is buyer’s remorse at an unprecedented level.
Are there any of our readers here who voted for Obama that actually think he’s still doing a good job?
