Gallup Poll: Obama's Approval Hits All Time Low

Week after week, we continually see the Presidents job approval slip. While this Gallup poll still has Obama's approval rating over 50% unlike other polls, it is interesting to see the trend over the past two months. This week Obama his his all time low in the Gallup poll at 52%. Not only are his approval ratings dropping, his disapproval mark is heading up too. How long will this trend continue? Obama cannot afford to drop much below 50% this early in his Presidency or he will turn into a lame duck President. If he does not adjust his socialist views and govern more like the "moderate" candidate he tried to portray himself as during the election, he will never gain the trust of the American public.

Obama's Approval 45%

Eight months ago, America was captivated by this guy called Obama. Americans overwhelming supported him while turning a blind eye to his policy positions and what he actually said throughout his campaign. Now only eight months later we have a President who is only winning the approval of 45% of American's according to the latest Zogby poll.

American citizens have now come around and are seeing that when Obama talked about "change" he really meant bringing about a new socialist America. Every policy Obama and the Democrats in congress have tried to push through this year have been socialist in nature. To start Merrian-Webster defines socialism as "any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods."

Lets look at the two big pocilies Obama has tried to get passed, first Cap-and-Trade. Under Cap-and-Trade, the government would set limits on the amount of emissions a bussiness would be allowed to emit. If the company went beyond their limit they would have to pay another person for their "share" of emissions. This is an example of government administering the distribution of wealth as large companies would be forced to pay others for a larger emission amount. Obama however forgets to tell the American people that these companies WILL pass on the price to their consumers.

Obama's second big policy is health care. Under Obama's plan, the government again would administer the distribution of health care by forcing those "rich" pay for the uninsured. We have all seen how well this has gone over with the American public.

If Obama keeps up with his current push towards socialism his approval ratings will drop as low as that of Cogress.

Week In Review

The newest feature here at God, Family, America is a week in review. This will be an area to discuss opinions about the week. I will post what I see at the top five stories of the week. So, here we go.

The winners of the week of July 19-24 are:

• 5. CBO begins downfall of Universal Health care - With the CBO coming out and announcing how much spending was involved in the health care bill we saw support drasticlly begin to decrease. As the numbers spread, both Blue Dog Democrats and American citizens really started to understand just what was involved in these bills. This will go down a the beginning of the end for any current form of health care reform.
• 4. 40th Anniversary of Moon Landing - For one day, the anniversary of the Appollo 11 landing and then the walk on the moon dominated the news. This story has brought up many discussions of the future of space exploration. When will we go back to the moon? Will man walk on Mars? No matter your view of our space program, the discussion that arises is interesting and provides good discussion.
  
• 3. Blue Dogs Halt Health Care - While Obama tries to claim it is the Republicans that have caused a delay in health care legislation, the real story is that the Blue Dog Democrats have been the biggest force behind the stalling of the bill. While Republicans have been forcefull at bringing out many of the details of the bill, we all know that if the Blue Dogs gave support to the bill, it would easily pass.
  
• 2. Obama says cops act "stupidly" - This story was created by Obama himself. Without knowledge of the situation, Obama decided to defend his friend and attack cops serving their society. Even the Obama friendly media has come out saying that he made a huge mistake with this comment. Will this comment hurt Obama much in the long run, probably not but it does clearly show his stance on racial issues for those who doubted.
• 1. Obama Approval Ratings Drop - The number 1 story of the week is the approval ratings of Obama have dropped to below 50% for the first time in his Presidency. Because of Obama's inability to sell the public on his health care plan, we have witnessed Obama's approval ratings drop in every poll. Americans are beginning to understand what they signed up for when they put Obama into office. They are seeing his socialist policies and the majority of Americans still believe in smaller government.
  

Obama's Approval Now 49%

Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll now shows Obama's approval rating has dropped below 50% for the first time in his Presidency. The gap between strongly approve and strongly disapprove is even greater. 8% more people strongly disapprove of Obama (see chart below).
