I find myself hoping this is not an accurate poll. If it is we may not be able to turn things around.

The people who approve are the people making next to nothing a year. The ones making a living off of min wage, and getting all the extra benefits. Its a sad state our country is in for sure. Feeding the ones who do not care to feed themselves.

True

Closer to what I would expect but still higher than it should be.

It's the only way his foreign policy makes sense.

If true it may be a lost cause.

They vote in every election so might as well.

Maybe they polled the cemeteries in and around Chicago.

this could very well indicate how shallow the electorate
is, these days;;; if it's likely voters who responded,
we are in deep stuff. -- j

Agreed, I did the "Shrug" about 15 years ago. Long before I heard of Atlas Shrugged when the third movie came out. I should point out that I wasn't pushing Mitt Romney, and agree that your percentage is probably closer than the 47% figure. I wouldn't be suppressed if both numbers fell short, though.

An eternity...

I know this is not the right topic to bring this up but I have been waiting for the right topic for a while..

Am I the only one here that believes that O is assisting in the Islamic caliphate???

Since he took office he has supported the rebels toppling the stable countries in the middle east. He has even gone so far as to arm these rebels even though they say they are ISIS sympathizers!!!
There are only a couple stable states he has not gotten to yet.

He craps on Israel constantly. He keeps releasing GITO high value prisoners with or without Congressional approval with the goal to release them all before 2016.

Both his fathers were Muslim, his mentor is Muslim, his grandparents were communists, he spent years in Muslim schools, AND worst of all; in his book "Dreams from my father" he said (paraphrased) "I will stand with the Muslims if the winds blow in that direction".

Am I just paranoid or does this all make sense to any one else???

You did the better math. But it could get surprising. I am in the big scale gold mining industry which is pretty damn conservative in general. Always, always being attacked as evil, insidious despoilers of the environment - digging up all that gold with big equipment just to put it back in the ground in vaults. And then I found geologist colleagues in the same office that actually voted for that piece of work. What the?

Real Clear Politics averages several polls. It seems to be unbiased. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/...

I hate to admit it but I believe it is h). are accurate.

I think that 10% are educated lifelong Democrats and 40% are dumb as a rock and are told to vote Democrat because that's what all their neighbor's do and 90% of the 40% couldn't even tell you who the VP is!!!!!!!!!

I get .00005 percent approve and 99.00005 disapprove. We have 1 member who I know supports Obama.

Thinking it through, that is an interesting question. I had just simply thought that he would have an approval rating around 0.05%, and maybe he would, but would there be surprises in the makeup of our 20,000 strong gang of like minded individuals?

I like that idea. I wonder what the results would be???

I know. What if we take the same poll here in the Gulch and publish the results as mainstream? The flip side of what is being done to the public. I guess we would be guilty of the same thing, but fun to contemplate.

She made the best use of the time.

Yes, I find it hard to believe!!! These polls show why they and their kind are so dangerous. They say whatever they want, true or otherwise. The ignorant believe what they hear. The more they hear, true or otherwise, the more they believe. It's like the recent Obama claims that the economy is doing great now. In the last months I've seen some pretty big businesses vacate their locations. Is this the sign of an improving economy? It's like Axelrod's latest declaration that he is "proud" that the last 6 years of the Obama regime has not resulted in any scandals. "Are you sh__ing me?" There is not enough room here to list them.

I’ve never believed, until now, that so much of the same advertising, day after day, hour after hour, every 10 or 15 minutes, like "Hi, I'm William Devane, buy my gold", "The gecko ads", and "the “Wounded Warriors", (I’m not sure about this one yet, I’ve never seen who gets what) could possibly work to sell anything, but apparently the massive repetition works or they wouldn't be doing it. Political lies, ignoring the truth, keeping people ignorant, over and over and over again, all seems to be working. The results of these polls tell me this country could be destroyed unless we get off our (couches) and do something about it.

Is there anyone willing to actually publically challenge this administration? Are there other measures that need to be taken? Or is it going to take a small nuke to get people to wake up? If these terrorists want to kill Jews and Christians, will they want to kill the ones here in the US too, or will they limit their aggression to the Middle East? Yah, sure, you betcha.

It's like combat, the first casualties you see make you literally sick to your stomach. After experiencing a few more casualties it gets a little bit easier, you don’t actually throw up anymore. And much sooner than should be, it becomes routine, and you stop paying attention to it, or you just accept it as a normal way of life and cope with it. Our polls show this, as we are seeing more and more people coming around to the concept of no troops on the ground and other things that just don't work. The further behind we get in this war, the more people are going to accept it (as already seen in the polls), and the harder it is going to be to fight it in the future. The enemy is growing, how big will it get before we actually do something about it? Is it possible to convert all Muslims (and some others) to extremists before we take action? It is a sad world today and we're not helping make it much better..

Its embarrassing actually that our once great country presents the likes of an Obama to the world, only to be made the fool he is by a Russian president, not once but several times. Putin is no prize either, but at least he sticks up for Russia.

Nice to meet you, Ibecame. j and k are good answers, except that Mitt was wrong about 47%. It was actually 52%. That is why it is time to shrug.

You do have to be careful when you put together a poll. It's easy to slant the outcome by simply asking questions that unknown to you will move the results. I suspect if a poll were put together for us in here the outcome would be slanted simply because of the audience.

If the poll is accurate, there are a lot more moronic voters out there than I first imagined.
