The 39%?  Based on identity politics and ideology.  They can not be basing their opinion objectively.

Obviously the percent symbol is a racist symbol.

Under 50% with Hispanics, too.

39% sounds about right.  I don't imagine it will go below 35%.  I think there are fewer low-information voters than most people think but there are far more who are in willful denial.

Heck 30% probably works for this administration - he has certainly grown government by leaps and bounds.

It ought to be in the teens, but this is what America is like now. If Obama ran for a third term today, he would win again.

Lower than Bush's approval this time in his Presidency... and considering the different treatment from the media, that says a lot.

Dr. Ben Carson was a member of the All-Star Panel on Bret Baier's Big Hour.

He said that he's upset with something that nobody else perhaps has found necessary to mention.

Are we going to accept a government that you cannot trust?  Whose words have to be parsed and nuanced....sometimes with lawyer involvement?  That there's something terribly unsettling about that.

Seriously............

It took years of lies about Bush, and constant media bashing to get his poll numbers this low.

For five years, the media has swooned over Obama, refused to investigate his administration, and covered up his incessant lies, and Americans have still figured it out.

There may be hope after all.........

As soon as Bush's approval numbers soared after 9/11, the left began an incessant lie campaign to bring them down.  They beat him up mercilessly in every way possible to make him lose the popularity that he had earned through his leadership.

It worked.

On the other hand, they have done everything in their power to buoy up Obama by never, EVER reporting all his scandals and nastiness, and yet his numbers have still gone down as low as Bush's.

It really is quite remarkable, isn't it?
