Survey Says: 3 Out of 4 Independents Say Obamanomics Suck
Say AnythingNot looking good for Team Obama: Only the youngest voters support him on fiscal policy, and only barely, 52%-46%.  Every other age demographic above 30 years of age has majorities now showing disapproval.  Independents have begun to run away in massive numbers; they now oppose him 75%-23%, a huge break away from Obama and a sign that his supposed moderate stances have been exposed as shams.  Every income level except the lowest also has majorities disapproving ...

Obama Support Is Tanking
GayPatriot — Wow.  As PatriotPartner said to me — “Want to see a lead balloon?  Go to Rasmussen today“. (h/t - HotAir) Ed Morrissey sums it all up nicely over at HotAir. Rasmussen’s new poll, taken before the release of June’s unemployment numbers, shows significant slippage for Barack Obama on the economy, his central issue.  Only 42% of American voters give him excellent or good marks on handling the economy, the lowest ratings he has yet received.  His personal approval rate has fallen to 53%. The ...

Quinnipiac Poll: Obama Losing Independents
Ace of Spades HQ — ... not continue." Voters approve of Obama's handling of the economy by 52 percent to 42 percent, a margin five points less than in April. In this category, independents divide by 47 percent to 46 percent. ... It's a closer call on health care where 46 percent approve of Obama's handling of the issue compared to 42 percent. Independents disapprove 48 percent to 37 percent. Those economic numbers don't seem too good to me, either, especially with independents now splitting against him. Rasmussen finds similar erosion on the economy. A Rasmussen video report notes that 42% now ...

Obama's Right Track Wrong Track Numbers
Riehl World View — ... After reading Ed's post on the new Rasmussen poll, I clicked through to the poll item. This is interesting in light of an April CBS item. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say the country is heading in the right direction. Now, back to April via CBS. It would appear the honeymoon is over and people have begun to move below the superficial, pegging Obama's policies to his popularity. He was able to escape that only so long as he didn't really have much in the way of policy, relying more on rhetoric to sustain his ...

America Losing Hope in Obama’s Change
Stop The ACLU — ... Approval Index rating of -2. This is the third straight day the Approval Index has been below zero (see trends). A Rasmussen video report notes that 42% now give the President good or excellent marks for handling the economy . That’s his lowest rating to date … Overall, 53% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far. Forty-six percent (46%) disapprove. Let us hope America is waking up to the realities of socialism before it is too late. Ed Morrissey: Obama isn’t just coming back to Earth in the polling. He’s losing independents and ...

Instapundit — ... But will this dog hunt? Well, polls show Obama losing more ground on the economy, so the targeting’s good. (”Only the youngest voters support him on fiscal policy, and only barely, 52%-46%.
