Obama’s Polls

Here is a look at the Daily Tracking Polls for the Job Approval for President Obama, lets start with Gallup, today POTUS has a 47% Approval Rating, with 46% Disapproving of the Obama record. The sluggish jobs reports has moved the Oval down from its 50% Approval rating. The Gallup Poll is of American Adults, lets have a look a likely voters, lets see the Rasmussen Poll, this is better news for the Oval, in today’s Poll POTUS has a 49% Approval rating, while 50% of likely voters Disapprove of the Obama record. Thus from these Polls one can say that Obama on average is above 45%, thus the Chicago Re - Election Committee has to work to get back Independents that ran away form Obama over ObamaCare, but and this is a BIG BUT, it depends if ObamaCare is thrown out by the US Supreme Court, if that happens it’s a new game folks, there would be no good domestic record for Obama to run on, thus its down to the Supremes folks.

50% Job Approval Rating for POTUS

Gallup: Reports on its daily tracking poll on the job performance for President Obama, today POTUS has a 50% Approval rating, while 43% Disapprove of the Obama record. This will make the Chicago re-elect committee happy, the question that has to be asked, is how deep is this support, what happens NOW that the election phase is in the General Election mode, that Mitt Romney is the Republican Nominee, YES folks, this blog is calling it over, it does not care much if Senator Santorum is in or out, this blog deals with the realities of politics. Let see the polls after the weekend, lets see if the jobs downer of today affects the results.

US Recovery in PERIL ?

Guardian: Reports on the stalled recovery in US unemployment, the article states the following, “ ..far below the figures most economists had been predicting. ”. Thus folks my political advice to the Oval last night, don’t use social issues in till later in the election cycle, today was the day to go on about the PILL, but that’s old news now, the political commentators from right to left will have return to the economy, as the Clinton Campaign stated in 1992, “ It is the economy stupid ”. The Oval’s main worry is if the Supremes throw out ObamaCare, when will Obama then run on, the promise to bring the issue back to Congress, that would not be a smart political move, or worse the Supremes could as this blog has predicted, throw out the individual mandate but keep the rest and throw the issue back to Congress, that would be an issue that most Democrats would not want to discuss again, thus Unemployment and ObamaCare are the major domestic problems that the Oval faces, either could sink the re - election Campaign.

The Oval and US Unemployment

The New York Times: Reports on comments by President Obama that there would be up and downs in US unemployment. What the Oval can not afford is for the Congressional Budge Office to be right, if US unemployment starts to go up then Obama is finished, using the pill as an attack on Republicans wont get him re-elected if US unemployment goes up to 9%. The perfect nightmare for the Oval would be if the US Supreme Court threw out ObamaCare, then the US economy looked like it was reversing, then if Spain needed a bailout, this would make Obama look like Jimmy Carter Mark 2. Also lets lot not forget Israel, if Israel attacks Iran then everything is in the air, as a wise UK PM once stated to a junior Minister, events, events, events, it’s the X factor of politics.

US Unemployment Rate down to 8.2%

BBC News: Reports that in March the US added 120,000 jobs to the US economy and lowered the US unemployment rate from 8.3% to 8.2%. At first glance this looks like good news, but the jobs added is lower than expected, this could mean that the US Congressional Budget Office could be right that US unemployment could start to raise again by the November election. The CBO predicted that US unemployment could be back at around 9% in this time period. This would be a disaster for the Obama Oval, it would mean certain defeat, lets see what April brings, and if the March figures are revised up or down. The Republicans can use this perceived bad news to attack the Obama economy, while the Oval can argue that the trend is good and this is just a hiccup in the process. Lets see who right folks.

9/11 Terrorists SET for Trial - Justice or Politics ?

BBC News: Reports that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) and four others will be tried by a Military Commission for the terror attacks of 9/11. This news is political folks, the Oval for years tried to move the cases from Guantanamo to New York in New York State, this caused a political firestorm, the Oval in the end had to admit defeat and have these terrorists tried by Military Commission. This could have been done years ago folks, the Bush Administration had set it up, but the Obama Oval thought it knew better, ObamaCare anyone, yes for a lawyer Obama is not that good. Thus this move today is political, the left will not be happy, but its not about them, they have nowhere to go, this is about getting Independent and male voters to give Obama a 2nd chance and thus a 2nd term. Why do we have to waste time with a trial, they are guilty, cant we just hang them or shoot them, and give them a Muslim burial. That would be justice or the justice that these terrorists should get, so for the next few months we have this show trial, and it’s a show trial, the sole benefit to get Obama re-elected, shame on the Oval.

Romney vs. Obama

The Romney Campaign is not going to allow President Obama to define him, this is the rebuttal advert from the Romney Campaign. It shows that the Romney Campaign is on the ball, it has learned the lessons of not responding fast enough, it can be argued that Kerry Campaign failed in 2004 due to lack of response to the attacks on the Senator’s military record. As noted the Bill Clinton re-election Campaign defined his Republican Opponent months before the National Conventions, thus won big time, this is the trick that Obama is trying, will it work folks, lets see how sick of these adverts we get, and folks you will get sick of them, this is just the start, a very long road, so many Adverts, Polls, Articles, etc, yes the General Election fight has started folks.
