Thread: Obama-Jimmy Carter Comparisons Hauntingly Similar

I think Obama's is going down because he seems to be caving on the public option. Last time that I saw a poll on the subject, 77% want single payer.

When is the last time you looked at a poll? I have never seen 77% wanting single payer. Please show me where you found such a fact. Last poll I saw was 39% want single payer 52% oppose it.

I'm confused as to what exaclty you meant by this comment, and I don't want to just automatically come out and say something rude if I miunderstood. I just don't see why you would need to bring up race in any context, as no one else was talking about it.

Ok, so you were being a EDITED, just wanted to clear that up. I think you have a problem with anyone having an opinion different than you.
And why would you, in a reply directly to me, us the term you people when speaking about skinhead militias, people bringing guns to town halls, etc? Are you trying to pick a fight with anyone and everyone?
And yes, some people do take guns with them wherever they go. They have every right to.

The man that had the assault rifle at the town hall meeting in Arizona is black,I assume you are referring to him because he is the one that stated he is armed almost everywhere he goes . Skinhead militias have gotten bigger but so have the New Black Panthers. Neither of which have anything to do being Republican or Democrat,because the skinheads would have a problem with any President being black regardless of political affiliation.They are idiots,in my opinion.

I would love to see Rice on the next ticket.

It's been at least a month since I saw that specific question asked. I have not seen that question asked since.

The New York Times/CBS poll July 30, 2009 shows:

Sixty-nine percent of respondents believe Obama's plan
will hurt the quality of their own healthcare.

Seventy-three percent believe it would limit their access
to tests and treatment.

Sixty-two percent believe Democrats' proposals would
require them to change doctors.

Seventy-six believe healthcare reform will lead
to them paying higher taxes.

A whopping 77 percent expect their healthcare costs to rise.

Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14. These figures mark the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President. The previous low of -12 was reached on July 30.

Prior to today, the number who Strongly Approved of the President’s performance had never fallen below 29%. Some of the decline has come from within the President’s own party. Just 49% of Democrats offer such a positive assessment of the President at this time.

At the other end of the spectrum, today’s total for Strongly Disapprove matches the highest level yet recorded. The 41% mark was reached just once before and that came one week ago today. Seventy percent (70%) of Republicans now Strongly Disapprove along with 49% of those not affiliated with either major party.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern

Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) now disapprove.

Of the priorities outlined by the President earlier this year, 40% of voters say cutting the deficit is most important. Twenty-one percent (21%) believe health care should be the top objective. While deficit reduction is seen as the most important, 67% say it is the least likely to be achieved.
