Numerous public opinion polls show support for failed President Barack Obama plummeting. Most notable among these is the Gallup poll, which shows support for the President among all adults at 47%, an all-time low for a President in month 10.
Polls reflecting “all adults” are usually the most weighted toward liberals.
Writing from East Anglia University, “scientists” in the Climate Department offered to advise Gallup about something called “Mike’s Nature trick” they could use, adding Obama’s approval results from last year to the current approval number in order to “hide the decline.”
Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and even Richard Nixon all had higher approval ratings 10-and-a-half months into their presidencies.
Presidential spokestool Robert “Spittle” Gibbs isn’t too happy about the numbers.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said he doesn’t “put a lot of stock” in the survey by Gallup, which has conducted presidential approval polls since 1938, longer than any other organization.
“If I was a heart patient and Gallup was my EKG, I’d visit my doctor,” Gibbs said in response to questions from Fox. “I’m sure a six-year-old with a Crayon could do something not unlike that. I don’t put a lot of stake in, never have, in the EKG that is daily Gallup trend. I don’t pay a lot of attention to the meaninglessness of it.”
It wasn’t always that way for the Obamunists, though.
During last year’s presidential campaign, Obama adviser David Plouffe, trumpeted “the latest Gallup poll” to reporters because it showed that 53 percent of Americans did not find Obama Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, “trustworthy.”
Or for Gibbs himself.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs sent out an email to reporters this morning touting the data — from a Gallup survey — that showed roughly two-thirds of the public approves of the way Obama is handling the passage of the economic stimulus package while just 31 percent say the same of congressional Republicans.”
