CNN Poll Spells More Gloom for Obama
In a just-released poll, CNN/Opinion Research spelled more gloom and doom for Obama as 48% consider his first year a flop while 47% view it as a success. The attached article has a link to the actual pdf, which unfortunately does not indicate the sampling. Knowing CNN, however, I am certain it is not weighted in favor of the Republicans. The interesting thing about the PDF is it shows month-by-month ratings for every question, which illustrates just how much “The Won” has faltered.
Washington (CNN) – Americans are giving Barack Obama a split decision on his first year in office, according to a new national poll.
Forty-eight percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday say Obama’s presidency has been a failure so far, with 47 percent saying Obama has been a success. The poll’s January 12 release comes just 8 days before Obama marks one year in the White House.
The survey indicates that Obama’s approval rating as president stands at 51 percent, down 3 points from last month, with 48 percent disapproving, up 4 points from December.
“On the plus side for Obama, he remains personally popular and he gets decent ratings on foreign policy and national security issues. That may explain why his overall approval rating is a little higher than the number who say Obama’s first year has been a success,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “Unfortunately for Obama, domestic issues – led by the economy – are far more important to the public than foreign policy issues, and a majority disapprove of how he is handling every single economic and domestic issue tested.”

“Why are they polling all these typical white people? They should just be talking with black folks and journalists.”

According to that Ras poll Brown is winning independents big and pulling more Dems than Coakley is pulling Rep. which is leading to the close race.

bc-I think the polls are showing a slow and steady drip of support from Obama. Media clamoring for a press conference now.
The honeymoon is over.

MIC, yep and the only response the world will probably get from ‘O’ is a hunker down mentality and just ride it out. When its all over, Richard Nixon will look like a transparent saint next to Obama.

My God, 1 ‘n 10 say O is not liberal enough! I can’t imagine anyone to the left of O short of the CPUSA.

Perhaps they are thinking he is not “successful enough” at being liberal.

Check it out check it outers … then send to the WH cause what is obvious and stated in the link apparently needs to be put in coloring book form and sent onto to brief the president.

Blame Rush Limbaugh. He hoped Obama failed. This is what happens when the “Lightworker” fails….

Should that not be ‘light worker’? Your choice of skin tone or work ethic is up to you.
