Obama’s Approval Ratings

Wed March 10 2010

Picture 1
  The black approve has approached the red disapprove. The spread has narrowed to near nothing in the bottom histogram. But wait, the White House sees this graph as well. 

My bet?  This is why Obama is making a full court press on Health Care and has a date. His approval rating cannot stand this any longer. I bet he gets a bill. If he does, it is signed and not another word is said about it, the legislation does not begin until after his term ends anyway. The unemployment numbers are being massaged with the hires of temp census takers. By June, the health care will be history one way or the other and the claim will be that unemployment will be down, and the stock market will be up. At that point the Republicans will be wondering what happened to them. My point here is that Obama is at a socionomic low, he will not stay that way, he controls his own media.

    Do you think this is in direct relation to the economy? I mean everyone says it gets worse before it gets better. Sooo, if the economy starts back up, unemployment drops and health care becomes something to majorities liking, the approval for Obama will also increase?? I mean isin’t this linked somehow as is the movie genre and our economy?

    Precisely, the popularity of a politician is similar to the popularity of a movie star or a movie, He is aware that his popularity has dropped as far as he let it do so to get an unpopular idea, socialized medicine passed, it will either pass or not, but he will then drop it and go back to something more popular the graph I showed is bottoming now

    President Obama MAY recover, but I’m not so sure about Congress. If (when) health care reform passes I have a feeling that outrage in citizens opposed to it will manifest itself sooner than later. It won’t be forgotten come November. The entire reconciliation process will have our founding fathers rolling over in their graves!

    Reaction, what reaction, even Nancy Pelosi has no idea what is in the bill, there will not any reconciliation, once he signs, that will be the end of it and remember it does not begin until he would be re elected, there will never be another word about health care, so there will not be anything tangible for the republicans to campaign against

    I’m not too hot about this health care reform, if people can not afford it what happens? or is everyone covered? I think we should have the choice if we want it or not.
