POLL: 81% Say Obama Economic Policies Not Working.

Poll: 81% Say Obama’s Economic Policies Are Not Working…


Via Beltway Confidential:

There’s a lot of terrible news for President Obama in new polls by the Washington Post-ABC News and the Wall Street Journal-NBC News. The number of Americans who say the country is on the wrong track has risen to its highest level since just before Obama took office — into what one commentator calls the “incumbent death zone.” His job approval rating is down. The number of people who disapprove of his handling of the economy is rocketing upward. And then there is this question, asked by the Post-ABC:

Do you think Obama’s economic program is making the economy better, making it worse, or having no real effect?

Just 17 percent say the president’s program is making the economy better, while 34 percent say Obama’s program is making the economy worse and 47 percent say it is having no real effect. Combine those last two numbers, and 81 percent say the Obama economic program is not working — a devastating number in a country in which economic concerns top all other issues in voters’ minds.
 
the people who write for american thinker read like 3rd graders... but I guess they know their target audience.
 
So only about 34% actually think he's making it worse... just a little more than thought that W. was doing a decent enough job to get re-elected... strange how that is.

Obama Demands Republicans “Get On Board” His Plan For More Stimulus Spending…


All aboard the Failure Express.

(Politico) — President Obama used a campaign-sounding Labor Day speech to demand that Republicans support the jobs plan he will unveil in a speech on Thursday.

Speaking to workers in Detroit, Obama wouldn’t give specifics about his proposal (he said he “didn’t want to give everything away right here, because I want you all to tune in on Thursday”). But he said that “more than one million unemployed construction workers” could be put to work with his plan.

“We just need Congress to get on board,” Obama said to cheers. “Let’s get America back to work.”

The crowd then began chanting “four more years.”
 
Global financial markets continue to expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to pull a rabbit out of its hat. For example, global stocks rallied on Aug. 31, on the release of minutes from the Fed's Aug. 9 meeting that showed some members of the Fed's Open Market Committee wanted to go beyond the Fed's promise to keep rates exceptionally low through the middle of 2013. Markets read that as a sign that the Fed would do something dramatic if problems deepened.

Polls don't mean much at this stage.

I think they might be floating the 9%+ anticipated unemployment figure out there as a political strategem so that on the chance they can bring it down under 9% they'll call it a victory and try to make the claim that their anti-business policies are actually working.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I think it's how they do things. As a point of reference, everyone knows that the economic plans they've implement so far would never work (except Krugman of course) and they try anyway.
 
Maybe it's just George Soros manipulating the markets again to make another few billion dollars and using the democrats as rubes again.

Closer to home. Blame the banks for all those no down-payment loans. :cool:

Over the Labor Day holiday Monday, global markets were rattled by weak jobs growth in the U.S. as well as a lawsuit against large banks including Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Citigroup (C) for damages related to the housing crisis. Bank of America was losing 5.3%, while JPMorgan Chase was down 4.7%.
 
Obama Demands Republicans “Get On Board” His Plan For More Stimulus Spending

What is it about ... "cut spending ... the country is BROKE!" that the idiot doesn't understand?



“We just need Congress to get on board,” Obama said to cheers. “Let’s get America back to work.”

Yeah, that worked so well the last time. :rolleyes:
The only people who got back to work in the last stimulus waste was all the pork barrel and bribe recipients ... every dime in their pockets came off the back of the American taxpayers.

Those who create jobs are holding back until this loon is removed from office.



The crowd then began chanting “four more years.”

He was speaking to his choir of loons.
 
Obama hits all-time lows, according to NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll
President 'is no longer the favorite to win re-election,' Democratic pollster says


After the bruising debt-ceiling fight — as well as Standard & Poor's subsequent downgrade of the nation's credit rating — Obama's job approval rating has sunk to a low of 44 percent, a 3-point drop since July. His handling of the economy stands at a low of 37 percent. And only 19 percent believe the country is headed in the right direction, the lowest mark for this president.

Stocks tumble on economic fright

They sold in sympathy with Monday's big sell-off in Europe. They sold because they're worried about the domestic economy. They sold because they're worried about banks. They sold because they're worried about how the political powers are coping, which is not well.
