Poll: Only 43% would vote for Obama now
1 year after election, trust in president plunging

Just 12 months after voting by a 53-47 margin to put Barack Obama in the White House, only 43 percent of voters today would re-elect him, according to a new Zogby Internaional–O'Leary Report Poll.

"Most voters don't trust the president on the number one issue of the day: job creation. On top of that, a surprising plurality of voters, and Independent voters in particular, don't side with President Obama on the number one issue to him: whether or not he should be president," said Brad O'Leary, a former NBC Westwood One talk show host and publisher of the O'Leary Report.

He's also written "Shut Up America: The End of Free Speech."

The pollsters on Nov. 10-12 surveyed 2,879 Americans who had voted in the 2008 presidential election. The results have a margin of error of plus-or-minus 1.9 percent.

The poll asked: If the presidential election were held next month, would you vote to re-elect President Obama or would it be time for someone new in the White House?

The poll showed only 43 percent of Americans who voted in the 2008 presidential election say they would vote to re-elect Obama – a reduction by 10 percent in the votes Obama received on election day last year.

Forty-five percent say they want someone new to be president. Eleven percent say that their vote for or against Obama would depend on who is running against him, and 1 percent are not sure.

Significantly, the poll revealed that only 37 percent of independent voters would vote to re-elect Obama. Forty-six percent say they would like to see someone new. Seventeen percent said they would want to know the opposition first.

Additionally, the poll asked: Please tell me how much you trust the Obama administration to pass federal legislation to create jobs in 2010?

"Not at all" was the response from 42 percent of the voters. Another 11 percent said they do not trust Obama "much." Only about 1 voter in four said they trusted the president "very much," and 18 percent admitted they trusted him "somewhat."

"President Obama's popularity with the voting public has been eroding for some time, but these numbers really drive home

WND reported only weeks ago a majority of Americans also are alarmed over attempts by the White House to stifle dissent or suppress free speech.

Right Magoo. LOL   a poll from an Obama hate site.   How enlightening if 43% from a site like that APPROVES.  You would think if they were doing a good enough job it would be O % approval.  LOL

An Associated Press-GfK poll says 56 percent of those surveyed in the past week approve of Obama's job performance, up from 50 percent in September.

 It's the first time since he took office in January that his rating has gone up.

Washington (CNN) -- One year after he won a historical presidential election, a slight majority of Americans approve of the job Barack Obama's doing in the White House. Fifty-four percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday approve of how Obama is handling his duties as president, with 45 percent saying they disapprove.

 "Obama's approval rating of 54 percent is nearly identical to the 53 percent of the vote he won a year ago," notes CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

 "And in nearly every demographic category, the percent that approve of Obama today is within two to three points of the percent who voted for him in 2008. It's a different story when we turn to ideology. His approval rating among liberals is 7 points higher than the number of liberals who voted for him. But among conservatives, the number who like Obama today is down 10 points compared to his share of the vote among that group in 2008."

Who is Obama Bin Laden ?   Never heard of him.

 I was talking about WND,   that is where you post most of your articles from.  

Barbara Jones:

Who is Obama Bin Laden ?   Never heard of him.  Your savior ... remember?  We have had this discussion before.  What a short attention span you have.

 

 I was talking about WND,   that is where you post most of your articles from.  The article may have come from WND (where I do NOT get most of my articles), but the poll was done by Zogby.

I don't have a saviour called Obama Bin Laden.   

My saviour is Jesus Christ.    

Like WND would  pick a poll  to publish if it showed good numbers like the other polls do.  LOL

Besides I just got this from the Zogby site.   Did not find any such poll as the article claimed.   Not a big surprise though.

Among likely voters of all ages who voted for Obama in 2008, more than two-thirds (68%) believe he is working hard for the progressive causes he embraced leading up to the election, but 17% of Obama voters believe he has abandoned many of those causes. Democrats and liberal voters show very similar results.  One in four Republicans (26%) and political independents (25%) views Obama as having given up on his progressive agenda. 

The interactive survey of 3,544 likely voters nationwide was conducted Oct. 23-26, 2009, and carries a margin of error of +/- 1.7%. The survey was commissioned by ScoopDaily.

Fear not. The Republicans have Sarah Palin, lol. That's why I registered as a democrat.

LOL,  Alexste,   I am registered as no party, but Palin did help me to decide to vote democrat.

The Pants on Fire Lies did it for me.

I guess BO is really making a name for himself. LOL.

Yes he is.   He has an unusually high record for keeping promises and for being truthful on issues that are really important.  

  To find false statements on him you have to look at things that involve statistics which are usually different from different sources, or look at statements that are just exaggerated comebacks to some lies from someone else against him or his agenda.  

173  true  to barely true   to   only 3 Pants on Fire and those were just exaggerated campaign comeback defense statements and  they were not just totally bald-faced lies like Palin throws out all the time, or like Hillary and her Bosnia Pants on Fire..

 And back to the subject LOL ,  funny how many times I remember you commenting about people changing the subject.  I guess you think it is all right for you but not for anyone else ?       Not surprising.

All you have to do to hear a pants of fire from Palin is listen to her one time.

Yes, exactly what the polls are showing.
