Ok, so once again we're being told that Barry's approval rating has gone a little further into the crapper as if somehow it's supposed to have an impact. As I have asked every time he manages to hit yet another new low, so what? Does anyone seriously think it really matters to him? And remember now, many of these very same Americans who now have such a low opinion of Barry are some of the very same ones who are already going bonkers over Hitlery Clinton. And she's just as much of a leftwing ideologue as Barry is. But anyway, despite his facing a series of scandals, phony or otherwise, involving everything from the IRS to the NSA, in addition to the growing unpopularity of Obamacare, Barry is likely to be no more bothered by his dismal job approval rating than he is by a cloudy day.
Gallup's daily tracking survey, which just between you and me seems to be more than just a little pointless, on Saturday had Barry with a 41 percent approval, which was a 7-point drop from just the day before. His disapproval rating was at 50 percent on Saturday. His approval rating rose 1 percent on Sunday to 42 percent. And if we look at Real Clear Politics' (RCP) and their average of recent polls, we would see Barry's approval sitting at 43.6 percent and his disapproval at 51.1. And on the economy, the numbers get a little worse. RCP's average of polls shows 42.2 percent approve of Barry's job performance while 53 percent disapprove. On foreign policy, the president garnered 44 percent approval, 47.6 percent disapproval. But again, who really thinks this concerns him in the least?
And on the topic of Obamacare, it was on this past Sunday that we heard from Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus who made the claim that it's members of Barry's own party who are now beginning to distance themselves from his signature healthcare law as they head into 2014. Although that differs from what we heard from Jimmy "The Tea Party Is Racist" Clyburn. Because, you see, according to old Jimbo, here, the Democrats passed Obamacare with the specific purpose in mind of being able to run on it in 2014. At least that’s what he's said. But as Priebus also said in Sunday's appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," "If this was such a great idea, then all of these senators who are vulnerable in 2014 would have voted for it, and they didn't."
So while the media has continued to focus on what it describes as being Republican divisions over tactics, according to Priebus, it's the GOP that has "total unanimity" on getting rid of Obamacare. It's the Democrat Party, he said, who are fighting amongst one another over whether to keep Obamacare in place. Still, while some Republicans from the Tea Party wing are calling for defunding Obamacare in the 2014 fiscal year budget, most party leaders say that will force a government shutdown, and the public will blame Republicans. But Priebus noted that 30 Democrats voted against Obamacare. The true division is on Democratic side, he argued. He said it was "very obvious" the delay in the employer mandate is about getting Democrats elected. Only time will tell whose right here.
A Fox News Poll conducted Aug. 3-5 on Obamacare saw 31 percent of respondents say "it’s going fine," while 57-percent said, "it’s a joke." Barry doesn't fare much better when it comes to the debate over the recent intelligence leaks by NSA turncoat Edward Snowden. When Fox News pollsters asked about the Justice Department looking at reporters' records, for instance, 59 percent considered it a "serious situation." The same percentage considered the IRS targeting of conservative groups to be "serious." Sixty-nine percent thought the NSA surveillance of Americans was not a "phony scandal," while 78 percent didn't think investigations into the changes in talking points on the Benghazi attack were phony. So that kinda shoots down the phony scandal theory.
Finally, despite Barry's continuing attempts to shift talk to the economy with a series of speeches in recent days, a Fox News poll found that 71 percent of voters say that Barry isn't saying anything new and would prefer to see him stay in Washington to work things out with Republicans. A Pew Research Center poll in mid-July found confidence in an improved economy is lagging. Four in 10 said it will take a long time for the economy to get back on its feet. But as Barry has proven time and again, he couldn’t care less about anything that the American people may be saying, and even less about what they may be thinking. He's got his job for another three and a half years, and there's really nothing that they can do about that. The arrogance, here, knows no bounds!
