When George Bush was President, the mainstream media took every chance it got to point out when his polls numbers were dropping. Now fast forward to the near state-run media with Obama, you won’t hear a peep about his approval ratings. It isn’t because they are high, it’s because they are steadily dropping.
Many are speculating at exactly why this is happening, but I believe it’s a combination of several factors.
- People aren’t getting their “free” stuff that they thought Obama would provide.
- Economy is getting worse. Even the most economically ignorant democrat is starting to see that.
- They see Obama placing the country in debt that it possibly can’t get out of.
- They see how radical Obama really is, and that his liberal agenda just isn’t working.
Of course, this is just a small list, but the fact is people are realizing the liberal agenda put forth by Obama, Reid, and Pelosi just doesn’t work. We see this in another recent poll showing the country moving more towards the right.
From Gallup:
Despite the results of the 2008 presidential election, Americans, by a 2-to-1 margin, say their political views in recent years have become more conservative rather than more liberal, 39% to 18%, with 42% saying they have not changed. While independents and Democrats most often say their views haven’t changed, more members of all three major partisan groups indicate that their views have shifted to the right rather than to the left.
Another recent Gallup poll shows Americans think the Democratic is becoming “too liberal”. I mean, it all really adds up. This is great news for the GOP, but unfortunately they really have no idea on how to capitalize on any of this. They should be hitting hard on this, along with news about how the stimulus has been a complete failure. But nothing. 2010 could be a major sweep in preparation for ‘12, but if they keep worrying about offending someone they will never get there.
Stand up Republicans, and fight for America!
