What grade would you give Obama's presidency so far?
A 31% 1,762
F 25% 1,444
D 16% 930
B 15% 841
C 13% 744
Total Votes: 5,721
MSNBC reports that 68 percent of respondents have a favorable opinion of Obama, with 47 percent whose opinion is "very positive." Both the figures are all-time highs for the president in the survey.
The poll also revealed that 60 percent approve of his short tenure in the White House, and that 67 percent say they feel more hopeful about his leadership.
The Republican Party, however, did not fare as well as Obama.
The GOP, which almost unanimously opposed Obama's stimulus package, gets the most blame for the partisanship in Washington and trails Democrats by nearly 30 percentage points on the question of which party could best fix the economic mess.-

I have a poll for you, and it has a sampling rate far better than any news channel or magazine.

It's called the Dow Jones Index. It represents our economy.
And it says that President Obama's budget and policies are extremely unpopular.
I certainly hope the President learns from his mistakes and changes course with his policies. I would like to see him succeed before its too late.-

The stock market reminds Barack Obama of a political tracking poll.
Reply
"It bobs up and down from day to day," the president said Tuesday. "And if you spend all your time worrying about that, you're probably going to get the long-term strategy wrong."
Most of the bobbing lately has been in one direction, relentlessly down. But Obama suggested that now is a good time for investors with "a long-term perspective" to buy stocks.

Now he's giving advice on buying stocks
Wonder how many of his supporters ran out and put their money where their mouth is?

okay, lets use your poll (the Dow).
Reply
did you know that 2008 was the third worst performance year for the Dow EVER?
did you know that the Dow went down 4000 points in 2008?
so, according to your poll, Bush was a horrible president and change was desperately needed.
time to get real cons. the market tanking now is more because it was already tanking and less because of anything Obama did or said.
anybody who knows anything about the market knows this.-

"if this same poll was taken on Fox, it'd be just the opposite."
Reply
actually, you're dead wrong (shocking!)
after one month in office, the Fox poll had Obama with a 68% approval rating.
after Bush's first month in office in 2001, the Fox poll had Bush with a 61% approval rating.
doh!

When the Bush administration (with the strong backing of John McCain) attempted to tighten regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the Democrats’ Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Barack Obama refused.
Reply
And, if the Bush administration’s economics is responsible for the banking mess, why are France and Britain, both of whom heavily regulate their economies, in the same boat?-

So lets review, that was whent eh Republicans had a majority in both houses. If a bill was wabnted by the Republicans it made it to the floor. THAT bill nerver got out of committee. A REPUIBLICAN controlled committee, where filibuster isnt an option. So the minority Dems told the majority Repugs not to bring it up for a vote adn they listenend??? ROFLMAO.

The Obama recession is in full swing, ladies and gentlemen. Stocks are dying, which is a precursor of things to come. This is an Obama recession. Might turn into a depression. He hasn't done anything yet but his ideas are killing the economy. His ideas are killing Wall Street...

The market's down today because of the jobless numbers. We have the largest market plunge after an election in history.-

You are right. Obama is a powerful guy indeed. In only his first ten days in office President Obama has already outspent (or out-porked) what President Bush spent in eight years.
Reply
Obama's budget creates a federal deficit of 12.3 percent of GDP. That is the highest since 1945 when the deficit was 21.5 percent of GDP. It hasn't exceeded 6 percent since then. FDR, fighting the Great Depression, never had a deficit larger than 5.9 percent of GDP.
This is not fiscal responsibility. This is recklessness on an unprecedented scale.-

LMAO, you mean bush who drove us into this fun recession? Hard times demand strong action, & you're just going to have to accept that. Meanwhile, consider if who you voted for over the last eight years brought us to the collapse of our economy, and if it did, try not to do that again. 'K?'

A straw man. 80% of the mortgages were written by banks and lending companies, bundled into securities, and sold all over the world. Meanwhile, when all 50 States attorney generals noticed the predatory lending in their jurisdictions, and started to investigate, bush & co stopped them with an obsucre law from the 1800's that gave investigation rights to the feds. And of course, they did nothing. Get off the propaganda train the CONS bulldozed you with.

This is a PERFECT example of Left Wing Media SPIN!
Reply
This so called poll is just the opposite of the the truth. Obama's real approval ratings are nose diving. Real polls are saying he ratings right now are around 49%. That's down from 60% just a few weeks ago. They say, it will continue to drop and drop and drop, as people realize the guy is full of SH*T and is NOT making good on his promises and is doing things they had NO IDEA he was going to do. Obama will be toast by mid summer.-

All you have to do is really look at the numbers which are posted

F 25% 1,444
D 16% 930

"C" is average
Above average = "A" 31% + "B" 15% = 46%
Below average = "D" 16% + "F" 25% = 41%
Results don't look quite so bright now do they?

Isn't that exact;y what Jim Rogers said:
Reply
What do you think of the government's response to the economic crisis?
JIM ROGERS
Terrible. They're making it worse. It's pretty embarrassing for President Obama, who doesn't seem to have a clue what's going on—which would make sense from his background. And he has hired people who are part of the problem. [Treasury Secretary Tim] Geithner was head of the New York Fed, which was supposedly in charge of Wall Street and the banks more than anybody else. And as you remember, [Obama's chief economic adviser, Larry] Summers helped bail out Long-Term Capital Management years ago. These are people who think the only solution is to save their friends on Wall Street rather than to save 300 million Americans.
