    They attribute the rise to 0bama's epic State of the Union speech that the fewest % in the history of the universe watched?? No one watched but millions love "0" again??

    I didn't watch the S o U because I can see for myself what "0" has done to our union. We are the least unified as a nation since the War between the States.

    Check this link and see why our nations and how our nations is deliberately being driven into chaos.

    People don't realize what his foreign policy alone is going to do to this nation, not even counting his immigration plans. He has poured on trillions to the debt and now has come up with even more give aways to tack onto it. In all my years I have never seen such division between the two Parties. I haven't seen so much talk of racism in the last 60 years. We'll feel the results of his Presidency for years to come.

    You know presidents aren't up for election in mid-terms right? That's why they're called "mid-terms".

    Of course I do. But, they are a litmus test for the president in the White house at the time. What does 2010 and 2014 tell you about Obama?

    Conservatives want less government for the same reason criminals want less cops.
    Liberals want more government for the same reason Stalin, Mao and Kim Jong Il want more Government.

    Obamas face was just on TV and he promised free two year college. Of course its going to go up.

    When his promises fall short again, his approval rating will drop, again.

    Its one thing to promise things, its another to carry those promises out.

    So you missed the many, many time that 0bama said that the mid-term this time was about him and his policies. Oh, that's right; "0" is a world class liar so we can't believe that he meant that. He was just lying to be part of the action. he wanted to be noticed and I think that he wanted the crushing defeat that the dems suffered so that he can blame the next two years of all out war between him and the Congress on the Republicans.
    The Republicans should have already started to impeach "0"'s worthless ass instead of trying to hold their seats.

    A blog with the opinion of one person?

    A survey with a well-known bias against sitting Presidents, loaded questions, and a question order that invites bias?

    This survey was ran twice, in 2006 and 2014. Both times the sitting President was decided to be the "worst President."

    Also, that survey asks for best President as well. President Obama came in 4th in that question.

    Hardly valid results.

    I gave you other links which you obviously ignored like the Quinnipiac poll. Typical.

    I didn't ignore them. They don't work, thus the 404 remark.

    Now it's "many Americans", Marine? The number is 50%.....so which is it?

    Are Americans "smart"....because they voted in a GOP Senate?

    Or are they "dumb"....because they are giving the President good approval polls?


    Again....you can't do BOTH. :)

    - - - Updated - - -

    What do you say if it goes higher, BVWC?

    Remember, like Marine, you can't call the American people "dumb"....because you declared them "smart" Election night 2014.

    Oh....wait....yes, you can.....the past is "malleable", isn't it?

    - - - Updated - - -

    So the ONLY polls you believe....are the ones who tall you what you already believe?

    When the President's approvals were bad, I never said "The polls are wrong". One of the benefits of being consistant.....not looking foolish when things change.

    For a valid comparative perspective, it's worth noting that Gallup's survey of Americans had Bush's approval at 36% and Clinton at 69% at this stage of their tenures.

    A lie.

    Lol! Talk about a weak counter argument. When you find out how much Liberalism there should be, you be sure to let us know won't you? What a joke.
    This is just too hilarious for me. Never mind the conservatives have never defined that line. Do you know why? Because they can't. They couldn't define that line if their lives depended on it. This whole "limited government" nonsense is just a phrase that means nothing. Put in a farm bill for farmers and finance the football industry and there is no talk about limited government. You can't possibly be a steward of limited government when the Right doesn't practice what they preach. The whole conversation is total bs.

    I found your problem.

    And the answer is, most likely not.

    Entitlement mentality is killing this country.

    What are you trying to say? Gallup unambiguously shows, sans partisan spin, that the incumbent's approval level is currently 14% higher than Bush's and 19% lower than Clinton's at this juncture of their tenures.

    That would certainly appear to be the case when those howling their minimalist mantra agitate to insinuate their politicians and bureaucrats even deeper into the wombs of Americans.

    Are the most successful first-world nations actually abysmal failures because of their social welfare components? Is Somalia the exemplary paradigm of the libertarian ideal? Or, perchance, Brownback's Kansas? How's that working out for the TPs?

    Spouting airy-fairy ideological dogma may be lots of fun, but pragmatism demands actual results.

    Brownback's limited government experiment didn't work, just as the same experiments before him didn't work; http://www.thomhartmann.com/bigpict...elections-and-euro-leper-colony-w-greg-palast

    Intelligence is the ability to solve problems. After :wall::wall::wall: banging your head against the wall over and over I suspect at some time it will probably end up hurting. Meaning that intelligence at some point, pending you have any, should recognize pain. Am I missing something here? :confusion:
