The latest news is dreadful for the Obama administration and wonderful for those of us who care about this country and the founding principles it was built upon. 

Obama’s approval rating over the last couple of days is in free fall.  Rasmussen reported yesterday that his approval rating had dropped a full percentage point (-5) – which is huge for one day and usually indicates a trend.  Today’s report showed that Obama was at -8 making those who approve 51% and those opposed 48%.  The writing is on the wall and I think that other leaders in the conservative movement may have read these signs in advance – making their decisions that much easier. 

If Obama’s approval drops below 50% it will be incredibly difficult to get it over that point again – barring some miracle, economically speaking.  The chances of economic improvement are minimal and his empty slogan of hope and change is ringing hollow on the masses.  The economy does not look as though it will improve any time soon due to massive amounts of spending, a war waged against the middle class and small businesses, and the private sector, we will be in a massive downturn for a couple of years – inflation will be inevitable.  The chances of him surviving another term if he enacts legislation that would drastically dismantle the foundation this country was built upon, are slim-to-none.

Two swing states that turned blue last year were also polled.  The trend that is occurring at a national level is also occurring at the local level.  Both Ohio’s and Virginia’s approval ratings for Obama are below 50%. 

It will only be a matter of time before his personal approval rating comes down along with it!  My guess: October; when unemployment is worse, the market has taken another massive nose-dive (and it will – it will go lower than it did the first quarter of this year), and inflation hits.

Obama, or O (Zero) as many of us like to refer to him as, is now at that magical number in the polls.  The difference between those who strongly approve and those who strongly disapprove is a big fat 0%!

Obama’s approval:disapproval gap has been diminishing at a steady pace over the last several months.  It’s about time that some people begin to take the kool aid goggles off.

The unemployment rate continues to rise, and although it is a lagging indicator on stock markets, it has a long-lasting effect, especially on the jobless lower middle class and middle class voters, who find it difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Clinton played with the formulas for unemployment back in the 90′s, so although drudge is reporting 9.4% (the highest it has been since 1983), it’s probably closer to 12/13% nationwide and between 15-20% in certain regions/states, like California and Michigan.

Obama is still seen as highly popular on a personal level, but his policies leave little to be desired by the American public.  It is only a matter of time, if this trend continues, that Obama will lose much of his personal popularity, due to the grating effect of negative policies passing.  Obama’s voters, namely the moderates, decided on Obama due to the media bashing of George Bush, Republicans, and the economy.  Historically speaking, when there is economic turmoil, the party in office, will usually lose.  Obama’s success will come from the economy and our national security.  I foresee both being vulnerable and the outcome in the future to be less than optimal.  If inflation (which I believe is inevitable) hits, health care passes, and people wake up to realize that we still have to pay for it and the quality of care goes down, if cap and trade/green policies pass and weigh down businesses or cause them to go out of business, if oil prices sky-rocket (they are on their way already), if we get attacked (releasing nuclear sites to the public and CIA memos does not help) – then Obama’s overall approval will go down dramatically.

Politicians like Sarah Palin, Newt, Sanford, etc. need to continuing speaking out against Obama’s policies and the liberal Democrats who are in the majority, pushing their agenda through.  The more Republicans communicate to the people, that these policies are dangerous for our future, our economy, and some of our freedoms, the better chance they will have at winning in 2012 and gaining support from independents, moderates, and conservatives.

It’s official America is split on Obama and this is one of the fastest dropping approval ratings in recent history for a new president.  Stick a fork in it, the honeymoon is over and people are becoming more and more impatient regarding the economy and seeing the INactions (besides massive spending) of the president and the endless campaigning.  People are getting tired of Obama’s misplaced priorities such as NCAA brackets, an appearance on Leno and an all-together “fed-up” feeling of seeing his mug on every media outlet. 

Monica Crowley had mentioned on her radio program yesterday how American Idol viewers found out that the show would be delayed because Obama would be making another address to the nation.  Many of the comments were negative, coming from the younger population who voted for the guy.  Their attention span was even shorter than I had previously thought, and they are feeling as though he has been overexposed already.

I’m hoping that his requirement for a binky (teleprompter) at every turn is also changing peoples’ minds.  Life isn’t about words and flowing semantics, but rather actions.  There is a reason as to why cliches exist – because they are true; Actions speak louder than words!

The honeymoon is over, a national poll will signal tomorrow as President Obama’s job approval stumbles to about 50 percent over the lack of improvement with the crippled economy.

The sobering numbers come as the president backpedals from two prime-time gaffes – one comparing his bowling score to a Special Olympian and another awkwardly laughing about the economy, which prompted Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” to ask “are you punch-drunk?”

Pollster John Zogby said his poll out in the morning will show Americans split on the president’s performance. He said the score factors out to “about 50-50.”
