Even Republicans don't like Republican leaders: "The approval rating of GOP leaders among Republicans has plummeted 12 points in a month"
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
Greg Sargent took a look at the latest Pew Poll and found what two other recent polls, from Rasmussen and DailyKos, have also shown. Republicans don't like their Republican leaders: The approval rating of GOP leaders among Republicans has plummeted 12 points in a month, down from 55% in February to a minority of 43% now. That’s striking. Not only that, but approval of GOP leaders overall has dropped to 28% overall — the lowest rating for GOP leaders in 12 years of Pew polling. In fact, approval of Republican congressional leaders ...

... American politics and that his job approval rating was barely in double-digits. Instead, let's look at some new polling data on how Americans feel about the GOP obstructionist tactics. In fact, let's not look at how Americans feel about the tactics. We all already know that Americans hold Republican obstructionists in as much contempt as they hold their pals the banksters. Instead, let's look at how rank and file Republican voters feel about the "Just Say No" strategy. Pew just confirmed what Rasmussen found last week: ...

Why All The “Outrage?”
Blue Crab Boulevard —
... The latest political “outrage” over AIG’s bad public relations has its roots in this : President Barack Obama’s approval rating has slipped, as a growing number of Americans see him listening more to his party’s liberals than to its moderates and many voice opposition to some of his key economic proposals. Obama’s job approval rating has slipped from 64% in February to 59% currently, while disapproval has jumped from 17% to 26% over this period. If the Obama administration did not know that AIG was going to have to pay out bonuses - as required by the contracts in place with ...

The American public discovers that (gasp) Obama is a LIBERAL
RedState: Conservative News and Community —
... The interesting result in the Pew poll is a significant jump in the perception of Democrat leadership in Congress. Approval for Congressional Democrats stands at around 47%, substantially higher than late 2008/early 2009, but approval for the GOP stands at 28% - a substantial drop from 34% in February. ...

Yes, the same members of the right who would have danced in the streets if Bush had cracked 30% for the last three years of his presidency.) comes this on the economy: ...
Rank-and-File Republicans Losing Faith in GOP Congressional Leadership
Matthew Yglesias —
Greg Sargent reads the latest Pew poll and sees that rank-and-file Republicans are getting fed up with the congressional GOP leadership:
The approval rating of GOP leaders among Republicans has plummeted 12 points in a month, down from 55% in February to a minority of 43% now. That’s striking.
Not only that, but approval of GOP leaders overall has dropped to 28% overall — the lowest rating for GOP leaders in 12 years of Pew polling.

Pew Poll: Republicans Don't Like their Leaders
Daily Kos —
... Now Pew weighs in, with a poll showing a 5 point drop in numbers for Obama compared to Feb, but still with a robust 59%.

The Fragile Obama Coalition and the Permanent Campaign
Patterico's Pontifications —
... In politics, it would be more accurate to say that the apolitical middle will be loyal to what they perceive as working. The latest Pew poll shows Pres. Obama’s job approval number among Independents dropping from 63% to 57% — and the disapproval number roughly doubling from 14% to 28% — in the course of a month. While a majority of the adults polled favors government exerting greater control over the economy “right now,” almost half are angry over the bailout of banks and institutions like AIG. Even after a good week on Wall ...

... overtures to our adversaries, and trying to place a conspiracy theorist in charge of preparing our intelligence estimates. That summary excludes a consideration of Russia, which is rearming, as the Obama Administration plans deep cuts in defense programs (and the jobs attached to them). It also excludes the administration’s failure to halt the dropping support for our mission in Afghanistan, a particularly egregious failure when one considers that support is lowest among Democrats (shocka).

Macro-Trend to Watch: Wheels Possibly Coming Off the Obama agenda

... , is the icing on the cake for what looks by all appearances to be a fumbled handling of the financial sector mess since Obama was inaugurated. At this point the actual culpability doesn't matter, the appearance does. And it's bad. 4) Public polling increasingly shows not only growing Republican angst with Obama (bye-bye "Obamicans," such as they were), but the independents with whom Obama did so well in 2008 as well. Notably, Pew recently showed what ...

Pew Poll: People Have Confidence In Obama, Not Republicans
Daily Kos —
... If there's an argument between Congressional Dems and Obama, the people have more confidence in Obama. And in every way, Republicans lose, including 30% of their own party (which, to remind people, is only 24% of the public according to Pew in March 2009.) That's called "political capital" and it needs to be spent while Obama still has it. ...
Obama polarizes, while the media whitewashes
Patterico's Pontifications —
... Their common argument is that the number of self-identifying Republicans has shrunk, so that Independents should be the true measure of how polarizing Obama is. The problem with this argument is that Obama’s support among Independents dropped 10% last month, while their disapproval doubled, from 14% to 28%. Sullivan is acutely moronic on this point, as he actually posted a ...
