That's why his ratings are dropping

In Reply to: Lack of faith in Obama as leader of this country is - a huge problem! nm
People have no confidence in this person. He is certainly not leading by example, and most (a lot of democrats too), or starting to ask... "does this guy even know what he's doing". They simply shake their heads and say no. I'm just wondering how much more they will allow our country to be destroyed. It's a very sad time for America.

His approval ratings are dropping.
These are the lowest of all time and they keep dropping. Rasmussen shows 43%-56% approval. He's lost all Republican support, a good part of Independent support, and some democratic support, and the trend is most negative.
Gallup evaluated all presidents going back to Richard Nixon. His 63% level with them is about the same as the average of every president going back to 1968 during their first months in office.
Obama's approval rating went up 1 to 4 points with self-identified democrats but dropped 14% with conservatives
His approval rating is also below where George W. Bush's was in 2001 and is lower than Jimmy Carter's 71% rating
Polling shows there is great economic concerns. 83% are worried what the O has done will not fix the economy and that it will only get worse (go figure), 82% say they are worried about all the money being added to the deficit and inflation, and 69% are worried about the size of government increasing. Additionally, support for the stimulus package has dropped.
Rasmussen also shows that people are opposing Obamas budget 46% to 41%. This is not good news at all.
It also states that voters blame Republicans for the lack of bipartisanship in WA, they also say that the O has not made any progress in improving cooperation between the two parties (another broken campaign promise).

Here is an interesting "blog" of what some people wrote. Most interesting is Post #s 3, 4, and 5.

Your comments about dropping "ing,"
"dude", and "six pack joes" were condescending and elitist. You infer that these people are inferior in your view, that their intelligence is lacking simply because they drop the "ing." I guess you know your are pointing fingers at the entire southern tier of this country and in most rural areas. Are you saying no one from those areas is "fit" to be VP?
And to answer your question, YES, I would be very comfortable with her running this country. How could she possibly do worse than all those experienced "pleasant speaking no drop the 'ing'" folks up there in Washington? Look where we are right now! In a mell of a hess, right??
I know what she ISN'T. She did not go to a racist church for 20 years, she has not been linked to home grown terrorist, and she is NOT a socialist. Obama IS. Does his history, 20 years in a church that preaches black liberation theology and economic parity worry YOU at all? I suppose not, if you want to live in a socialist country.
I would much rather hear "dude" and people dropping the "ing" than a socialist society. What about his global poverty program and wanting a set percentage of our tax dollars going to combat povery all over the world...can't we take care of America first? We already give millions in aid...we have to earmark our tax dollars to go overseas? In the interest of globalization? You go ahead and vote for "citizen of the world" Obama. I myself will vote for "Country First" McCain, and the only one of the 4 who has a clue what life is like in the real world, Sarah Palin.
Have a good day now! :)
Also, the disapproval ratings for
abortion has gone up and I truly believe it is because of Obama's radical ideas of abortion and pretty much allowing it during whatever trimester, etc. I think this has scared some people and they have now decided against abortion for that.
I don't trust the pubs right now either. I would like to see more conservative people in the senate and house, but as far as pubs.....I'm done with them too. I think the pubs will make a come back though because things are continuing to get worse and if all these taxes start being implemented......our economy will get much much worse and more and more people will be p!ssed off. When enough people get ticked off at one party, the other party takes over. That is the natural way things go.
I think a lot of people are scared and unhappy and more and more people are joining that opinion and belief.
Yep, their ratings continue to tank while Fox
nm
Fox ratings are at an all time high because...(sm)
as we all know, it's hard to look away from a train wreck. 
I think the Simpsons had a big run on ratings like this at one point. That show was also fiction.
Fox ratings are at an all time high because
people are hungry for the truth. You want to believe it is fiction, but the numbers speak for themselves. This is their 9th year and building. Even CNN is 3rd now and fighting back. What do you expect from Immelt and Zucker on MSNBC? Ms. Maddow is really showing her ignorance to say she does not know the purpose of the Tax Day Tea Parties. This is grass-roots America speaking up. I gotta admit, its not nearly as juicy as soap opera using an unwed teen pregnancy to keep the subject off the REAL soap opera that was happening at G20 and tour. That is what was hilarious!
Bush Approval Ratings Have not Bulged...sm
Your ratings info is outdated. How about that ICE detainee
is he a hack too? Get over Bill-O and try a little coverage of the other side of the immigration issue.
Fox has soaring ratings. They show both sides.
nm
His ratings are skyrocketing! Liberal news is losing
nm
MSNBC's job is to deceive their viewers; explains their very poor ratings!! nm
Because he keeps dropping it lower and lower
And soon my $30 or $40K is going to be considered rich, hence my taxes will be increased!!!!!!
