If you’ll notice, I actually managed to get a link to the Ras poll embedded in my post.

If you can teach a total technological doofus like me to do that…? You’re pure genius, buddy!!

So, what’s your favorite adult beverage? I’ll get one in the mail to you pronto!

his lowest ever, with 32% Approve and 37% disapprove. The total approve/disapprove numbers have also reached their low of 4% – 52% Approve
vs 48% disapprove.

If the MSM would conduct even the faintest resemblance of an unskewed poll The One’s approval ratings wouldn’t still be in the +20 range. But when you not only don’t poll LVs, or even RVs, but content yourself with “Adults” (when in polling history has *that* ever been done on a consistent basis) and the internals on most of these faux polls have a D registration advantage of 13% or more with R registration *in the low 20s*!!! Hmmm, can’t imagine why everyone but Ras is still showing him as ‘popular’.

with 36% Strongly disapproving, and 33% Strongly Approving.

After half a year, he has arguably the worst showing for any new president. For comparison, the percentage of people who strongly disapproved of the Bush Presidency in his last month in office was 43%.

also significant, is that his regular approval rating dropped to 52%, which is below his November vote total–which generally indicates he’s shedding votes.

more time to make it up unless we all end up in the gulag. My wife and I were almost set. NOT ANYMORE. I have had to hustle up business again and at Michael Jackson’s age that gets harder to do.
At least I still have a right thinking brain.

yup same here,

I am 33 and I loved every year after 2001, I am still up eventhough the market is down (though not any where near where I was in 06), but I am sure afraid to look at my investments since the Government started destroying companies by taking them out through bankruptcy and giving the secured investors and shareholders pennies on the dollar. Of course with Cap and Tax I fear for my power company stocks, if I dump them now I am screwed.

Back in those days I checked my 401k everyday and smiled. Now, I am afraid to log on and look how bad it has gotten. Hopefully we can stop this tax and spend philosophy that good ol’ Barry is set on, and I can recoup my losses before I retire. I am only 34, so I still have 30-35 years for it to happen. I’ll keep calling my representatives everyday until it ceases.

You were right my brain was going to ways with that headline, one I was thinking about the economic roar we heard back in 2003 to 2006 and I was trying to say that I do not expect anything to happen good with the economy before 2012 at the earliest. Yeah, signs of the bleeding controlled but not an economic engine that made 2002-2006 one hell of kick ass economic expansion ride.

but, I don’t think you meant 2003 in your title. I do agree with you on the economy not turning around by 2012 (assuming that is what you meant). Especially if Cap & Tax passes the senate and Taxpayer Funded Health Insurance passes. We could be in for some very rough times.

either so long as the policies of the Democrats are forced on the economic engines of America. Unless, and this is a big unless, the GOP regains the House and Senate and starts keeping the Presidents policies anemic we are in for a very stagnant economy with no growth and continuous malaise. Look back to the seventies though they may be glory days in comparison to what we are in for. My only glimmer of hope is that corporations will find a way to side step the President and overreaching arms of the Federal Government by coming up with some clever advances, but I am not putting my money in the stock market to back that bet.
