Obama had such a bad week that he's at 50% approval in today's Gallup Tracking Poll!

1. Couple more weeks like this and he'll win 400 EVs.

[JoePhilly]

2. What I find funny ...

is that much of the media has spent the last 4 years trying to destroy the man ... and no matter what they do, his support remains strong.

He should win in a landslide. It'll probably be about 5-6%.

[Skittles]

7. why do you think he will win in a landslide?

seriously - why?

[JoePhilly]

8. I said he SHOULD win in a lanslide, not that he will.

I said he'd probably win with a 5% or so margin, and I'll add, about 300 EC votes.

The man stopped the total collapse of the economy.
Saved the US auto industry.
The Dow has gone from 6500 to about 12,500.
UE hit a high of about 10.2%, is falling, and is now at about 8.2%.
His admin created about 4M jobs.
Killed OBL ... plus numerous other foreign policy wins.

9/11 happned on Bush's watch, he grew the deficit, and he got a second term.

I'm pretty sure that Obama is FAR more deserving.

[Skittles]

11. honestly, the key word is JOBS

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

25. JOBS that the Republicans deliberately BLOCKED!! Why are you blaming Obama for that?

[Skittles]

28. are you stamping your foot?

Obama CHOSE not to make JOBS his NUMBER ONE PRIORITY

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

29. That's another BULLSHIT LIE!! What the hell do you think the stimulus was all about?

Please wake the fuck up!

The stimulus was the top priority; it was all about jobs!!!

[Skittles]

30. LOL

the stimulus bailed out the people who crashed the economy - the rest of us, NOT SO MUCH

BYE BYE NOW!!!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

31. Goodbye and on to IGNORE!!!

12. Could it be the immune syndrome

where overall a lot of people already have heard the constant bashing of Pres O?

Birthers to name one. Or have the American public finally realizes what liars the GOP are along with the do nothing congress? Since day one, the GOP have done nothing but BLAME Pres O for EVERYTHING.

I dunno know, I know personally I'm tired of it. The corporate media constantly is faulting Pres O even for the BULLSHIT that the goppers do. In turn, the goppers blame Pres O all the while not creating jobs and now the constant attack on teachers, police, firemen and construction workers.

911, the heroes were firefighters and police. Have America already forgotten that? Shame on them.

[JoePhilly]

27. I think that may be part if it.

The GOP has become so shrill, particularly with their attacks on Obama, that many might just hear them and then roll their eyes.

Take the "Obama hates America" nonsense. The GOP has about 10 versions of this attack. But OBL is DEAD. Obama made the decision to kill him.

They say he hates business ... really ... the DOW is up 5000 points.

The GOP has become the boy who cried wolf.

And now they attack teachers, firefighters, and police as examples of "big government".

My sense is that the GOP is imploding, and while it might take a few years, they are collapsing. And the GOP super PAC effort is an attempt to transfer all control to the super rich.

And that's what makes this election so important.

3. Great news! Wonder how the repukes will twist it...you know they will! nt

[jenmito]

4. Nah-they (with the help of the "liberal" media) will ignore it. n/t

[snappyturtle]

5. Didn't think of that! True. nt

[ashling]

6. Its just like "sea level rise"

a left wing term, so it is not really happening - shhhhhhh!

[Cary]

9. I get the feeling that President Obama will win re-election.

Oddly though I don't find any comfort in having that feeling. I am still nervous as hell. We absolutely cannot lose this election.

[rufus dog]

10. Andrea Mitchell will have 4 Republicans on tomorrow to talk about what he hasn't done. BOOK IT

Easy for me to say because that is her show everyday.

[jenmito]

14. No-she'll ignore it. Just like everyone else in the "liberal: media. She'll have the

4 Repubs. on to talk about Obama's "gaffe" or "bad week" last week.

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. That "bad week" meme has engulfed the M$M. Even my beloved Melissa HP said it yesterday.

I could've smacked her, but she's way too cute. I don't want people "on our side" repeating M$M memes, but I guess some feel they have to go with the flow. I like that approval number, but rest assured, this is the only place it'll be discussed.

[Happydayz]

15. Which is why I don't tune into the M$M

If Mittens had high favorables and was leading in every national poll like President Obama is now, the M$M would be chanting stick a fork in Obama etc. But since its the President who is doing extremely well in the polls, despite all the hate from the M$M, billionaire Krotch brothers negative ads, etc we won't hear a peep about this poll or any poll favoring Obama for that matter.

[Tarheel_Dem]

19. You're exactly right. Every bit of negative news about the president gets repeated ad nauseum,

while Rmoney seems to skate. And it's not just our imaginations, there's a survey around here that showed (if I remember correctly) there was a 30 pt. difference between the candidates in favorable news coverage. I'll let you guess who came out on the positive end of that survey.

23. Romney's not a true Christian. He's gonna burn in hell.

[kestrel91316]

24. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted......

[2labslib]

26. I'm surprised it isn't higher after this week.

With Mitt tearing down teachers, police officers and firefighters and POTUS standing up for them, I figured approval would be higher.
