Obama’s Job Approval Falls Below 50% In Gallup Poll

More bad poll numbers for the White House:
PRINCETON, NJ — The latest Gallup Daily tracking results show 49% of Americans approving of the job Barack Obama is doing as president, putting him below the majority approval level for the first time in his presidency.
Although the current decline below 50% has symbolic significance, most of the recent decline in support for Obama occurred in July and August. He began July at 60% approval. The ongoing, contentious debate over national healthcare reform has likely served as a drag ...

Gallup: Obama Below 50 percent
Real Clear Politics - TIME.com —
Barack Obama has fallen below 50 percent in the Gallup Poll , an expected but no less significant historical marker. The public's view of this president ranks him in the lower third of modern American politics. He has fallen below the majority threshold at the fourth fastest rate, of the twelve presidents since World War II. Obama was nearly number three. But he escaped Ronald Reagan's fall-point by about a week. That Reagan has been here as well, and languished below 50 for two years in his first term, illustrates that Obama's new reality is notable but not determinative. ...
Obama drops to 49%.
Althouse —
"Of the post-World War II presidents, Obama now is the fourth fastest to drop below the majority approval level, doing so in his 10th month on the job. Gerald Ford dropped below 50% approval during his third month in office, and Bill Clinton did so in his fourth month. Ronald Reagan, like Obama, also dropped below 50% in his 10th month in office, though Reagan's drop occurred a few days sooner in that month (Nov. 13-16, 1981) than did Obama's (Nov. 17-19, 2009)." ...

President Obama's job approval rating has dipped to 49 percent in the most recent numbers from Gallup--the lowest number Gallup has given him since his inauguration. It makes him the fourth fastest president, since Gallup started keeping track of Truman, to fall below 50 percent--behind Ford (3 months), Clinton (4 months), and Reagan (also 10 months, but sooner). ...

Whatever the president thinks he's doing, he can hardly claim to be a "pragmatist"
DownWithTyranny! —
... Okay, it's official now: Gallup has the president's approval rating down to 49 percent. ("President becomes fourth fastest to slip below the majority approval level.") Question for the Obama "brain" trust: With the combination of desperate economic and international problems, an all-out war of obstruction by the Right that is morphing into an all-out culture war, and next to nothing to show by way of accomplishments, what exactly were you folks expecting to happen with the poll numbers? ...

... has been flat (and negative) since April. If these tracking polls are useful (IF!), then the public is no gloomier about the economy now then they were six months ago; that sorta suggests that the bloom is off the Obama rose for other reasons, since his approval has fallen from roughly 62% in April to 49% now . Or one might argue that folks had hope in the spring but come November nothing has changed, although one might think that would have been evident in the economic conditions poll. Well. If I were a whizbang stats jockey I would hop to, rather than recycling the CW ...

Mr. Obama’s promise to “save or create” about 3.5 million jobs by the end of 2010 is roughly on track, though far more jobs are being saved than created, especially among states and cities using their money to avoid cutting teachers, police and other workers.” But overly optimistic assumptions led to a package that, if anything, was too small, economists told our reporters. Those outlooks may also have contributed to Mr. Obama’s flagging popularity. His approval rating dipped below 50 percent on Friday for the first time in his presidency, according to a new Gallup ...

No More Mister Nice Blog — THIS WEEK'S PUZZLER, BY PEGGY NOONAN Hi, I'm back, at least for now. (More company's coming tomorrow, so I may not be posting again till Monday.) I see from her latest column that Peggy Noonan is very taken with the notion of a failed Obama presidency -- but when you get to the end of what she's written on the subject, it's as if she's deliberately included glaringly obvious flaws in her argument; in other words, it's as if she wanted to turn the column into the verbal equivalent of one of those can-you-spot-the-seven-mistakes-in-this-drawing? puzzlers in the Sunday comics. Here's what she writes: When the previous ...
