Obama disagrees with more than half the country on most issues
For the first time since he took over in the White House,Americans don’t see eye to eye with President Barack Obama on the important issues,according to a new national poll. But the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey does indicate that a majority approve of how Obama’s handling his duties as president.
According to the poll,which was released Tuesday,48 percent of people questioned say that they agree with Obama on the issues that matter most to them,with 51 percent saying no. That’s a switch from April,when 57 percent said they agreed with the president on important issues,with 41 percent disagreeing.
"Obama is facing crunch time on a number of controversial issues,from health care to financial regulation to cap and trade to Afghanistan,"says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "The fact that most Americans no longer agree with him on important issues makes his task harder."
Fifty-five percent of those questioned say they approve of how Obama’s handling his duties,with 43 percent disapproving. The 55 percent approval rating is down 3 points from September. Most recent national polls place the president’s approval rating in the low to mid 50′s.
Only half? lol We need the scale to tilt toward.. greater than.
I don't beleive the CNN pole it's probably 30% of the people are still agreeing with Obama. That would leave 60% who do not. First of all Obama hasn't done anything for this country except put it in debt. Any one could do that. Everyone i talk to does not approve of him and that includes republicans,democrates and independents. People who voted for him are just sick.. Lishten to Fox news people where you hear the real news. Those liberal stations don't know how to tell news all they know is how to avoid the truth.
This Health care I call it END OF LIFE HEALTH CARE because I believe that is obama intentions is using the so called death panels way to let us older People just take that red pill obama and go on. I know there is someone out there that can get enough to impeach him before he finishes destroying our Great Country. Did you all know I was hearing on Fox News that if our dollar goes under that the Government will not have any debt and we will not have a thing and the new currency obama will control it. I am on SS but then I will not have anything that obama does not give me. I believe obama may be the antichrist if not he is the forerunner for him.PRAY PRAY PRAY CHRISTIANS
