Obama’s Approval Rating Continues to Rise (Updated)
Other polls earlier in the week showed an increase in President Obama’s approval rating after the entire right wing decided to go cooko bananas en masse. Now, Gallup is showing a massive 11% swing of approval for the President, increasing from 52 percent approving with 41 percent disapproving to 58 percent approving, with 36 percent disapproving.
Keep at it you insane whackjobs on the right. With your bullying and violent townhall appearances, and your whacky birther conspiracies, you are only helping that which you hate with a passion of a thousand suns. If you right wingers would just accept that a black man and a Democrat is President, and turn to opposing him substantively and sanely, then maybe you will get some traction in your opposition. But then again, with Sarah Palin upping the ante on the crazy with her “Death Panels” comment, it looks like the President will have 70% approval by this time next week.
No one ever said the right wing was smart.
UPDATE: Here is a shocking yet entirely predictable poll result, via Daily Kos:
Republican Party approval rating among Latinos
April 27-30
Favorable 14
Unfavorable 73
No Opinion 13August 3-6
Favorable 3
Unfavorable 86
No Opinion 11The [April poll] is the week that Justice Souter retired, which was soon followed by speculation of Sotomayor’s nomination (she was the frontrunner). That is the reference week. The second is this week.
Republicans were already lagging badly with Latinos, yet somehow, they managed to lose a net 24 favorability points over the course of three months. And for what? To keep the dying 1950s Pat Buchanan-wing of the party happy? Great call, there.
3 PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahaha.
Yep, I think it was the birthers. It has to be something to cause a swing that big. It can’t be the economy yet. I wonder if we’ll see another upward swing with the coming implosion of the Deathers, too.
No, the good economic news just came out today. I wonder if the Big Dog’s Korean Adventure had any affect.
When was the poll taken? It seems kind of early to show any effect of Bill Clinton’s diplomacy. I have to say about Hillary Clinton – best Sec. of State ever?
Did you see the video of her dancing in Africa? The girl has some rhythm.
But wait… Protack said that Obama’s approval ratings would be in the toilet by the summer. Are you telling me that Protack was wrong about the polling on a public figure??? Say it isn’t so!
Don’t worry, next week Fox will be telling its viewers that Obama’s polling numbers continue their slide.
Well, I suppose that is half true, anon. They are sliding… upwards.
According to Gallup, Obama has the lowest approval rating in August than George W Bush, George HW Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, John Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower.

Obama only has an August approval rating in his first term than Bill Clinton.
According to Rasmussen, he is 50-50 as of today:

Is Rasmussen the firm that told you Mike Protack would win the gubernatorial primary he lost by 75-25%? You’ve never been right yet, why start now?
it doesn’t matter what his approval rating is, he is a puppet to the bildenberg group and wall street. the higher approval rating is either “good servant sheep” a.k.a people who are blind to the truth…or his p.a. appointee what exactly has he fulfilled as promised during the election? nothing. the last real president was kennedy, he was abolishing the federal reserve…you see what happened to him. politics are like pro wrestling…in the ring they hate each other, away from the ring they are all best friends…not about republican vs democrats. DON’T BE A DUMB SHEEP/CATTLE WAITING FOR THE SLAUGHTER!
