You're really splitting hairs. "while 47% somewhat approve" is that how Rasmussen worded their survey? And the worst ratings drop of any president in 50 years? And now he is worst than Carter! Let me know when Obama's approval ratings drop below Bush's. And what are the poll numbers of the republican members of the congress and senate? Ill bet they are in the single digits. Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm

LOL; last time I checked 51% was a pretty good number to have… let me know when he drops below 41%. I bet a lot of presidents wish that they were as popular as Obama. Bush wish he had Obama’s numbers as we jeered him out of town on January 20th. Keep looking for anything to help you feel better about your dismal political situation; I’ll keep celebrating one victory after another over the next 8 years of the Obama Presidency.

Mmmmmmm Mmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm LMAO......you come back with this!!!!! Rasmussen is the most respected pollster in the USA. FACT...yes, OBAMA has the worst ratings drop of ANY President over the past 50 years. I'm sorry the truth/facts hurt ya. Stop being a fucking baby and accept it.....man up and stop being a hypocrite.
Poll numbers for Republican members of congress?????? WTF....last I checked Demorats control congress...FYI...Congress' job approval rating has dropped five percentage points over the past month, from 19% to 14%.
BTW...I'm a registered Dem. Unlike you, I'm not a sheep that votes down party lines. I vote for what is best for my country.
Now.....you're mom is coming home soon. Go make your bed and clean your room.

I'm not disputing that he's 51%...but to drop from what he was 10 months ago until today is quite telling. He averaged consistently in the mid to high 60's after being in office a couple of weeks. A drop of 15 points or so should mean something to you. I'm betting it does to him...
On 2/7-8, CNN had him at 76; on 11/1 it was 54. If he's doing such a hotshot job, how do you explain a 22 point drop in 9 months?

What a moron you are! Why would I even consider a Fox news poll? It's biased, too. How about I chip in for that brain implant you have been wanting?

Thanks for showing your true racist bias at the end of the post. It already sounded stupid and unsupported by facts... but at least now we know where you're really coming from.

I agree. He's lied about his approach, his policy, his tactics, his transparency, etc. etc. etc. and shows no signs of learning any important lessons. WORST I've ever seen.

You're 100% wrong in your claim that Obama's ratings have been "the worst of ANY President in the last 50 years".
It's a bullshit lie not remotely supported by facts.
Let's crunch the numbers:
Obama started at 76% approval, and according to this site, his low point was 49%: http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/data_access/...
I think that's a point and a half too low, but I'll accept it for the sake of argument.
SOOO...
Obama had a 27 point drop from all-time high to all-time low.
And his current 51.3% RCP rating (I will use the FoxNews numbers, if it doesn't offend you who think FOx "too liberal)gives him a drop of 25 points in a span of 11 months.
Does that make his poll drop the "worst in 50 years"? Well, how do you define "worst"?
Is it worst overall drop from low to high???
Obama: 27 point drop.
George W Bush: 73 point drop (from 92 to 19)
BUSH IS THE WORST OVERALL DROP, HANDS DOWN.
Is it worst drop in a eleven month span?
Obama: 25 point drop.
Ronald Reagan: 25 point drop (from 5/81 to 4/82)
REAGAN TIES OBAMA FOR WORST DROP IN ELEVEN MONTH SPAN.
Is it worst drop in the first year of the first term?
Obama: 27 point drop in first year.
Bill Clinton: 26 point drop in first year.
OBAMA BEATS CLINTON FOR WORST FIRST YEAR DROP, BY 1 (ONE) POINT.
And to keep things in further perspective, what were the initial Approval Ratings for each of these Presidents?(Important to consider if we're talking of "dropping" numbers early on)
Ronald Reagan:51%
Bill Clinton:53%
GW Bush: 57%
Barack Obama:65%
So clearly, Obama had the furthest to fall.
Overall, what are the irrefutable FACTS regarding your claim that "OBAMA has the worst ratings drop of ANY President over the past 50 years"???
The claim is specious.... at best.

Racist not at all, I have 3 homes, Washington State, Gulf Coast, and New England. Iwatch a considerable amount of TV when I have time, and guess who 90% of the people are I see running from the police or being rounded up by the police for numerous crimes. who has the largest population in this countries prisons, I get all this fron TV and the newspapers.
The bottom line is we as a nation don`t want your style, you and your messiahs brand of Chicago politics. What may work in the crooked city, will not work for the nation. Politically speaking your messiah is going down in flames along with his socialist, communist, extremist fanatical administration. The liberal dumocrats will go bye bye in 2010 and your messiah is out in 2012 unless he can be impeached before. While he sits on his ass or golfing or maybe meeting with his mentor that racist reverand wright, our soldiers are dying in Afganistan at alarming numbers because your messiah has so far turned his back on them and given thenm no support. And Iran who may already have a nuclear weapon laughs at him because he`s weak. The whole world because of O`buma see`s us as now a weak nation. What and who is he going to say were sorry to next. Thats you messiah, not mine
