Americans were once infatuated with our smooth-talking president, but now that they are getting to know the man, they are finding that he does not represent American values. He truly is the manchurian president.

NBC/WSJ poll: Americans losing faith in Obama
"The oil apocalypse finally caught up to him. His approval’s at 42/50 on the spill and, for the first time, below 50 percent overall at 45/48. To see how far public confidence in him has declined, start on page 19 of the crosstabs and just keep scrolling. These two tables will give you a taste, though:
The polling on ObamaCare is up a tiny bit (from 36/48 in March to 40/44), which is in line with other recent surveys, but that’s really the extent of the good news for him. Compare the data above to some of the quotes in the Journal’s piece from voters; the Hopenchange brand has taken enough of a hit that I think we’ve officially moved from a 'Can the Democrats rebound?' narrative for the fall to a 'Can the Democrats stop the bleeding?' one.
'“As a Democrat and as a woman, I am disappointed in him,” said poll respondent Melissa Riner, a 42-year-old law clerk from Mesa, Ariz. Referring to the oil spill, Ms. Riner added, “I don’t think he’s handling it. He doesn’t seem to be doing anything. He just talks.”
James Ciarmataro, a 23-year-old stay-at-home dad from Macomb, Mich., said it was difficult to relate to Mr. Obama, because the president is “eating steak dinners at the White House and playing golf” while the country is suffering.
An independent, Mr. Ciarmataro said he would vote in November for “whoever seems the newest, and doesn’t seem to have any ties to anybody else.”'
62 percent say the country’s on the wrong track, the highest figure of Obama’s presidency, and the enthusiasm gap (“high interest”) for the midterms between McCain voters in ‘08 versus Obama voters is now, er, 71/44. Ciarmataro’s not the only one eager to give new people a chance, either: The split between those who want to reelect their congressman versus those who want someone new stands at 35/57. The latter number is the highest since 1992.
Two more tidbits for you. First, a succinct explanation for why even so many Democrats in Congress are pro-Israel:
And second, a reminder of why Sarahcuda’s endorsement is coveted in Republican primaries but maybe not so much in general elections:
That split on the tea party isn’t encouraging either, and the bottom line about social security is migraine-inducing given the approaching entitlements crisis. All told, watch your back, Sharron Angle! Exit fun fact: BP’s approval rating stands at six percent. A WSJ/NBC poll taken a few years ago measured O.J. Simpson’s at 11 percent."

Don't kid yourself. There are PLENTY of Americans to can relate to President Obama. Just because you rightwingnuts can't doesn't mean he's in trouble: you never like the guy from Day One, so who cares what you think?
Lets see, bill ayers, rev wright, louis farakan, george soros, rod blagoyovich, van jones, illegal aliens, tree huggers, welfare queens, homosexuals, black panthers, acorn thugs, union thugs, and idiots like diogenes. With these morons supporting him, it's no wonder his poll numbers are tanking. Most everyone destroying the country is represented. No, i will never like the commie, and don't give a dam want YOU think. The tid will turn in november!!!! Can you say lame duck? That is unless acorn thugs and moveon.org can find a way to vote all democrats twice and illegals once.
Just a Dumbass, if you bothered to check the numbers, there's very little chance of the Repubicans gaining a majority in the House, and even less a chance that they'll capture the Senate. So how do expect that the "tid will turn in November"?
I guess you figure that the 70 MILLION people who voted for Obama are all "illegal aliens, [who can't and wouldn't vote anyway, for fear of being discovered!] welfare queens, homosexuals, black panthers, acorn thugs, union thugs and idiots like me [thanks very much, JustaDumbass; that's a compliment!]". And voter turnout was HUGE in 2008, so you won't likely see that kind of turnout in 2010 in an off-year election.
You're like the frickin' Black Knight of Monty Python fame: you've had both arms and both legs hacked off, and you're threatened to butt your opponent to death!
Yes, Diogenes, Americans came out in huge support of Obama in Nov, 2008. I well remember Christmas shopping that year, and his mug was plastered everywhere.
But, what you seem to have not noticed is that the support is fading quickly. The thrill is GONE!
The man ran a fraudulent campaign portraying himself as a moderate so as to win. The average American had NO idea he would be running as a hard-core radical.
There are no 70 million supporting him today. Wake up and smell the roses.
A short spelling lesson:
The last four letters in "American" = I Can
The last four letters in "Republican" = I Can
The last four letters in "Bureaucrats" = Rats
The last four letters in "Democrats" = Rats
End of Lesson.
Test to follow in November, clean all the Rats out of D.C!
How many of the 70 million were named mickey mouse?
Bums will always vote for anyone who gives them free stuff.
As for DUMBASSES like you, it must be something in your sparkling water. I'm sure you'll be protesting in the streets with the other thugs soon enough.
DiogenASS: most of the Christians and conservatives stayed home because McCain didn't pass the conservative smell test.
There are consequences for their inactions in those last 2 elections and their feeling the pain now.
They will be voting in the next two elections in vast numbers, no matter how many black panthers are at the polls with their sticks or who the Republicans are, anybody but the marxist democrats!
DiogenASS, when you and your leftwing thugs decide to protest in the streets, come down my street first, pleeeease!
You guys are hysterical!
Not hysterically funny. Just hysterical.
You've got an excuse for everything.
McCain wasn't a "real" conservative. OK, I'll buy that. But are you suggesting that because McCain wasn't conservative enough to your liking, you'd let a "radical" like Obama get elected?
Why? So you'd have something to bitch about for the next eight years?
THAT doesn't pass the smell test.
DiogenASS: during the 2008 election obama was sold to the American people as a centrist and not as a leftwing extremist that wants to transform America.
They fell for his lies and deception and are paying the price today and our children’s future for centuries to come.
The Christians that sat home and the so-called Christians that voted for this fraud because of his color are the ones to blame.
Don't you mean 4 years? this joker is a one term nightmare, it's only 2 years into his term and people have already had a belly full of this administrations lies, deception, ignorance and lack of leadership.
I don’t think America can even afford 2 more years of this administration, Impeach!
AnonyMouse, Obama IS a centrist. Left of center, for sure, but closer to the center than the extreme left. The whole "radical" schtick is an image created by the Becks and Limbaughs, to keep their listeners/viewers entertained.
Why would "christians" stay home on election day? God didn't tell them who to vote for? Afraid they'd miss the latest evangelical preacher's telethon on cable?
The most telling comment you made was saying that people who voted for Obama are "so-called" Christians! So, God is pissed at me and all the others who voted for Obama? We're no longer allowed to be Christians because of which lever we pulled on November 4, 2008? Which book of the Bible does trhat come from, exactly? Nothing else matters if you vote for a Democrat, I guess?
What a schmuck.
DiogenASS: Don't even try that shit!
You're no more a Christian then you are a teacher!
Why would a Christian vote for abortion on demand and late-term abortions?
I don't remember that book & verse in the Bible.
enlighten us!
No, I won't try to enlighten you, AnonyMouse. It'd be a complete waste of time.
But please note: there are millions of Christians who believe in a woman's right to choose. If you feel differently,so be it. If you don't like it, so be it. But you don't get to claim that only narrow-minded religious rightwingnuts are "true" Christians.
I am a Christian and a teacher, and guess what? Your opinion on those issues makes no difference. (Then again, your opinion on most matters make no difference.)
And, for the record, I'd never try any kind of shit around you... you're so full of it, you'd undoubtedly have me at a complete disadvantage.
DiogenASS: anybody that believes in the woman's right to choose to kill their child, IS NO CHRISTIAN!
CINO: Christian in name only.
If you’re a teacher and a Christian, this country is worse off then I thought!
Thankfully, you're not my Judge, AnonyMouse. So your opinion means nothing, to me or to anyone else with working brain cells.
