The worshipful awe of the new messiah-in-chief is apparently beginning to wane. The teflon coating of His Greatness is beginning to wear off.
Barack Obama's approval numbers are falling.
In fact, at present Obama garners roughly the same approval rating as that of George W. Bush at this point in his first term.
But look a bit more deeply and you will find some numbers that are a bit shocking--numbers that are not being reported in the mainstream media.
Scott Rasmussen's Daily Tracking Poll of how the country rates Obama as President shows that only 37% of Americans strongly approve of Obama's performance, while 23% strongly disapprove.
The approval rating most often cited last week in the mainstream media, 60%, is entirely misleading. According to Rasmussen, Obama's approval rating is 60%, but only when you include those Americans who only somewhat approve of the President's performance in office.
In one week alone, Obama's approval among Democrats slipped 12 percentage points. Among Republicans, his approval slipped from 12% to 9%, and among Independents the numbers dropped a whopping 17 percentage points.
Thus, a closer analysis of the numbers reveal a real problem brewing for Obama among the electorate. His 'honeymoon' is going to be very shortlived.

And we will not hear this on the mainstream media shows.
The sons of Liberty will grow in numbers until they cannot be ignored!
Of course you are right. They are not going to report it. It goes against the propaganda--the pre-set template.
Look a bit more deeply at what lies beneath the surface among the citizens of the heartland. They are outraged.
And let's not forget that 55 million Americans voted AGAINST Obama, even as the economic situation crumbled.
And now we're stuck with this TRILLION DOLLAR TURD!
Obama still has high approval ratings- it's his policies that don't so don't be fooled.
Secondly, most Americans will vote Democrat again in 2012 because we understand that it was George Bush and the Republicans that gave President Obama one of the worst messes in American history. We don't expect Obama to change things over night. Watch how this all backfires in the GOPs face in 3 years.
That's not the way it works, Einstein.
The Party in power gets to be the recipient of the backfire--not the minority Party.
Second, George W. Bush was personally popular in polls, but his 'policies' were unpopular. Don't be so confident about your guy's lack of vulnerability when people begin to see that his ideas are a prescription for failure.
And most importantly, the economic mess was not Bush's doing. The policies that led to the financial meltdown started under Bill Clinton--giving a mortgage to anyone who wanted one, whether they could afford it or not.
Your blame is totally misplaced, which is typical for you 'Einsteins.'
Maybe people don't like Obama's Busheque ways - from appointing 17 lobbyists and continuing NAFTA to ramming out "stimulus" packages in less than 5 days before anyone can read it and blaming Americans for being greedy as the cause of America's problems rather than the military-industrial complex that Bush and Obama both work for.
Of course most Americans are too damn dumb to get it. Most of them still think there is a difference between democratic and republican parties.
"Obama still has high approval ratings- it's his policies that don't so don't be fooled."
HA! It just never stops.
Yeah, policies for a politician are superfluous to you desciples. What's important is fashion sense.
And let me guess, script-kiddie. You think this country follows a president, not a Constitution.
If we don't raise the voting age as a reaction to America's disasterous crisis of intellect and the principles that go with it, there won't be TIME to defend the Constitution.. build up some firewalls with some TEETH, etc.
Conservatives don't tend to think in desperate remedies, but brothers we HAVE to right now.
The greatest country that's ever existed destroyed from within by jihadists and their useful IDIOTS?
I don't think so.
Personally I think Bush did a fantastic job with what he was given. Everyone blames the economy on his spending for the military, but what they dont realize is that the Obama administration has spent more up to this point than Bush spent throughout his entire EIGHT years. Its about time that liberals remove their head from their butts and notice what his policies are actually doing to this country instead of what he says they will. He has very little experience in politics and economics. During his term in congress, he voted 7 times out of 90. Yeah, he's a real world changer (that was sarcasm for those of you who dont recognize it). Its time for him to bring that change that he's been talking about so much. Mr. Obama, you're the president! You dont EVER get too much on your plate, you go get a bigger plate! Shape up or ship out!
