Obama and the Polls



Here is a look at President Obama's job performance Polls:

Gallup Tracking Poll: In today's poll President Obama has a negative rating, Obama is on 45% Approval, while 48% of adults Disapprove of the Obama record.

Rasmussen Reports: In today's poll President Obama also has a negative rating, Obama is on 47% Approval, while 52% of likely voters Disapprove of the Obama record.

Lets Get Real:

I think its a fair argument to make that President Obama's coming out in support of gay marriage is hurting him in the polls, it does not matter what side you support, this blog could care less, its how the process effects the politics on the ground. As noted by the Hill US Senate Democrats in Conservative States are keeping well out of the subject, it easy if your in a liberal State to come out in support, not so easy if you fancy getting re-elected, that's the problem when you have someone like VP Biden as your Vice President, the VP forced Obama to come out on the subject, the Oval didn't have the time to get his supporters ready and see what the reaction would be, this is why the Oval should consider dumping Biden and getting Hillary Clinton on the ticket, the Secretary would never get in to this kind of political mess, she is to smart. As to get off the issue the Chicago Re-Elect Committee has gone to attack the business record of Mitt Romney, but it has forget one thing, in the film Wall Street, the audience on the whole supported the villain of the piece, the venture capitalist not the hard working trade union worker, as played by the great Martin Sheen, people in the US want to make money, that's always the lesson Democrats fail to learn. Lets see the polls over the next few days, weeks, months folks.
