They Hate Him! They Really Hate Him!
On this day we salute the American worker, let us celebrate his and her insight and judgement, however tardy:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 28% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13.
Sixty percent (60%) now believe the President is at least as ethical as most politicians.
On health care reform, 83% say that proof of citizenship should be required before anyone can receive government subsidies.
Just 13% of Americans consider Labor Day one of the nation’s most important holidays. Most view it primarily as the unofficial end of summer.
…
Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.
A bit more about “our ethical president”:
These figures reflect a decline for Obama. The 60% who view him as at least as ethical as his peers is down from 65% a month ago and 74% when he took office. The number who view him as less ethical has doubled from 18% in early January to 36% today.
This is also the first time that the number seeing the president as less ethical than most (36%) has topped the number who see him as more ethical (34%).
I might quibble with a few of the numbers by a point or three, but they’re trending in the right direction. While the left call you racist, Mr. and Mrs Sixpack, let me say only one thing to you:
What the [bleep] took you so long?
