Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Monday, August 15, 2011
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 20% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -22 (see trends [1]).
President Obama continues to draw great support from liberal Democrats [2] but not as much as from conservative Democrats. Enthusiasm for the president is also down among younger Democrats.
Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) at least somewhat disapprove.
Most voters continue to support repeal of the health care law passed last year by Congress.
From Kiplinger Letter of August 12, 2011:
“A political forecast from the Fed: President Obama will serve just one term. By pledging to leave interest rates unchanged and near 0% till mid-2013, the Federal Reserve is suggesting little or no improvement in the economy before then. That’s bad news for Obama. ….. the market drop and the Fed’s response, in combo, make a clear point: The president is more vulnerable …. ”
My prediction:
As per my prediction from last spring, Obama will not be the candidate from the Democrat Party for president in 2012. He will drop out for personal reasons after the primary season. Hillary will be selected by the delegates without having run in any primaries. That takes the selection out of the hands of the voters and places it in hands of the party leaders.
Democracy? No way. The Democrat leadership has already made this deal. SEIU. NEA. Soros. Immelt. etc. The campaign money raised by Obama will then be used for Hillary. Obama knows that this has always been the back up plan if he should fail … so he is trying his best to salvage the economy before the party leaders pull the plug, but his lack of executive and economic experience is impeding his abilities.
Obama owns the recovery. The recovery is a failure. Most Americans understand that Obama is a failure. He dislikes Christians, he is an economic failure, Obamacare is a failure, he is an international failure, he is a military failure, and he lacks transparency about his past. All this will be exploited by Romney, or Perry, or Bachmann. The Democrat party leaders are just biding their time. They do not want another Carter defeat. They do not want to lose the Senate on Obama’s coat tails.
Hillary was placed as head of the State Dept so she can claim to have the executive experience and international experience that Obama is missing. She has been kept at arms length from Obama’s problems so she does not get tainted by Obama’s failures. Her staff floated the rumor that the World Bank wants to hire her as president in 2012 to make us believe that she has financial smarts. Hillary will keep the women’s votes in the Democrat party. Hillary is the back up plan for a failed Obama.
