WSJ poll: Obama approval rating at 60%, handling of economy at 56%
posted at 8:50 pm on March 3, 2009 by Allahpundit
The public will get tired of the spending eventually but they’re not there yet. 68 percent view The One very or somewhat positively, and while support for the stimulus has narrowed, it’s still 44/36 in favor. So far they’re willing to give him plenty of time to right the ship, too:
In both questions you’ve got more than 40 percent looking ahead two years or more. I wonder what another six months of disintegrating Dow and rising unemployment would do to those numbers. Would the timeline be further extended or would people get impatient? Note the trend below as an early warning that even as support for the stimulus and his handling of the economy remain positive, clouds are gathering:
On the other hand:
Looking at that, it’s hard to believe it’s still a center-right country. And looking at these, it’s even harder:
The “positive” numbers for the GOP there are the lowest yet, although “negatives” have been worse. (The difference is in the neutral category.) You’ll also be pleased to know that those agreeing with the statement that we need to spend more on defense have declined from 73/21 a few months after September 11th to … 42/49 now.
Silver lining: 53 percent now say the Iraq war has been very or somewhat successful, up 10 points from last year. So Bush may yet have a legacy even if we, er, never get elected again.

Obamugabe will go down in history as the absolute polar opposite of Abe Lincoln.
This Marxist usurper will tear this country to pieces after he has had his pleasure sh1tting on it.
TheSitRep on March 3, 2009 at 8:54 PM
Clinton was at 45 percent when he got blown out in the 94 congressionals.
I sure that won’t happen with a low-tax, roaring economy by next October.
jjshaka on March 3, 2009 at 8:55 PM
The center is drawn to the presidential candidate with the most passion. Obama trumped McCain in that regard, as Dubya trumped both Gore and Kerry.
MadisonConservative on March 3, 2009 at 8:55 PM
AP: I think you have already established that people only want to rely on the polls they like :)
peter_griffin on March 3, 2009 at 8:56 PM
We’re still working our way to the seats. The show hasn’t even started. There is plenty of time for tremendous damage to be done to the global economy, this nation and our society. Plenty of time.
moxie_neanderthal on March 3, 2009 at 8:56 PM
I fear there is a significant percentage of the US population who know what Obama is doing, what it means, and the effects this will have, and want him to do it.
Skandia Recluse on March 3, 2009 at 8:58 PM
I don’t see why people are surprised by the results. Whenever there is a huge shock to the financial system (like the current crisis which, going by any evidence, is phenomenal), it has shaken people’s faith in capitalism and swung the pendulum in the reverse direction. Once folks realize there is not much juice there, it will reverse directions again. Till we get the next financial screwup, that is.
peter_griffin on March 3, 2009 at 8:59 PM
hey Allah you missed MSN saying Barry is the most beloved EVAH at 68% but some *may* not like his actual policies….
whatever….the morons are still in afterglow and there is likely some reverse Bradley effect going on still.
sven10077 on March 3, 2009 at 8:59 PM
Could that have anything to do with the coordinated MSM efforts to cover up for his actual agenda………
………. or the pre-selected, pre-submitted, and pre-answered press conferences he holds?

So we trash the military again, ignore the growing threats and get hit by some scumbags who slip through the widening cracks. Just like 911.

Take 10% away for the people not wanting to be labelled “raaaaacist” for not supporting Oblahblah no matter what his policies are.
SouthernGent on March 3, 2009 at 9:03 PM
Oh please. Voting trends change all the time. Republicans might be in trouble for a while but it won’t be forever.
And I hope Bush doesn’t get treated like the ugly step child in future GOP events. How sad of the GOP: Apologizing to Rush Limbaugh but while Bush was getting ripped apart by the Democrats they threw him under the bus. WOW! Great priorities!
terryannonline on March 3, 2009 at 9:04 PM
I like the poll being taken every day on Wall Street myself. What I don’t get is, with Obama’s approval ratings at these levels, why he refuses to throw Wall Street a bone? A 10-15% rise in the market over the next month or so would eliminate the bulk of critics and he could damn well do what he wants without any danger of being undermined. As it is, he is vulnerable.
genso on March 3, 2009 at 9:04 PM
I don’t approve of 32% of his decisions and I disapprove of the other 68%.
carl todd hand on March 3, 2009 at 9:04 PM
This is ridiculous. I didn’t think Americans had gotten this stupid yet. I mean I knew that it would happen eventually, but I didn’t expect it to happen this quickly (kind of like how Obama felt about gas prices last summer).
MobileVideoEngineer on March 3, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Let’s give a bit more time for the bleeding to take it’s course before we declare America unable to withstand the charms of this prodigy. The pain will be unbearable very soon…much more for those who voted for this gimp and never imagined the outcome.
AUINSC on March 3, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Yeah, that’s right, because things always stay the same and the next election is tomorrow.
Topsecretk9 on March 3, 2009 at 9:06 PM
The media can prop up or destroy but a track record is the final arbiter.
By next fall, blaming bush will ring hollow.
What scares me is that since Obama hates capitalism the only way he can offset economic ruin is to get a permanent voting underclass (Hugo anyone?) addicted to government handouts of all kinds.
I laugh when dumbasses on CNBC are worried he’s doing too much- hey guys, thats the PLAN.
jjshaka on March 3, 2009 at 9:07 PM
What percentage of people are afraid to admit they are starting to have their doubts about Obama? It is cool/hip whaatever to be with him. I have no doubt that there are mass amounts of idiots out there who don’t even have a clue how bad Obama’s decisions have been thus far, believe me. I know doubts are creeping in though. How many are willing to admit it yet, to themselves let alone a pollster, is a variable to consider in these results.
msmveritas on March 3, 2009 at 9:07 PM
I think you’re on the right track, but I don’t think “passion” is the right word. McCain was in a lot of ways a lot more passionate than Obama. Obama was “cool” almost to the point of detached. His demeanor suited the times is all you can say. In another year or at another conjuncture, McCain’s personality might have been more attractive to the center. The shifting, even tumultuous political environment, not just at the end but all through 2005-8 made it particularly difficult for McCain, who was nominated for a set of reasons that had disappeared by Summer, only for the dynamic to shift radically yet again. Perhaps due to his age, perhaps due to his lifelong inclinations, wasn’t ready or able to grapple with the last set of challenges commandingly. Never fully committed to anything except winning, Obama to a large extent floated above the tumult.
Anyway, any liberal who thinks numbers like these are a strong foundation is building sand castles at low tide.
CK MacLeod on March 3, 2009 at 9:08 PM
I’m sure the pollsters have a nice, long list of democrat phone numbers to call for these poll. No one I talk with agrees with Obambi’s policies.

“Democracy is the notion that the people know what kind of governance they want and deserve to get it good and hard”.

Techie on March 3, 2009 at 9:10 PM
You know the old saying, “money talks and bullshit walks.” Whatever the polls say now, Clinton was right, “its the economy, stupid.” When will the RNC and GOP in Congress start throwing that out there?
genso on March 3, 2009 at 9:10 PM
I feel like I don’t even know this country anymore.
Kensington on March 3, 2009 at 9:11 PM
I agree, I was kind of searching for what it was. I think it might be more accurate to say “overt confidence in his message”. McCain was an unsteady RINO. Obama is a dip, and an arrogant one, and but polished it just enough to win over a lot of dems. It came off as surety.
MadisonConservative on March 3, 2009 at 9:12 PM
He has the cover of the MSM. I’ve never heard ONCE the case FOR tax cuts on NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC. Treason.
marklmail on March 3, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Absolutely. Democracy is as good as the people. A classic example is India, which, in spite of having enormous potentials, has languished because of terrible governing (even though it is the world’s largest democracy). All the politicians do there is to look for short term gains and pay-for-play politics (kinda like Chicago).
peter_griffin on March 3, 2009 at 9:14 PM
That reminds me. It would be “interesting” if AP or Ed could round up some 4 year graph of Carter I’s approval ratings, put it at the top of HA, or a link to it anyway, and then periodically superimpose Carter II’s approval ratings on it as his 4 year reign continues.

56% and 60% and, but “there’s a silver lining”? Must be the new math.

Should.
Marcus on March 3, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Eh. It looked worse in January 1977, believe me. Jimmy Carter was very popular and Republicans had lost 70 House seats in the last two elections after Nixon resigned.
In 1978, I decided to go to graduate school in public policy because I thought it would be the best way to help me get a job in government. By the time I graduated, Reagan was president and I got an appointment.

ddrintn on March 3, 2009 at 9:20 PM
It’s too early to break out the champagne.
Obama’s numbers are still very good considering how bad the economy is. Bush got re-elected with approval in the low 40s so Oabama is not sweating anything yet. The MSM is right there to prop him up no matter what happens. ABC Headline today: “Signs of Stimulus already starting to take affect” flashed by during the day today.
If you don’t want 8 years of Obamulan rule you better start supporting some good GOP Congressman for 2010.

Before I knew Obama’s name
And heard his wail and whinin’
I had a country and it had me
And the sun was always shinin’
But then one day He, Pelosi and Reid betrayed me
And left me far behind them
And now I’m lost, so gone and lost

Peter Hart does the WSJ poll. I’ve never trusted his polls.
Hell, I think the government should be “doing more” right now. Like paying at least a little attention to the crashing stock market.
rockmom on March 3, 2009 at 9:23 PM
A reminder: Bill Clinton had high approval ratings even through the whole Monica Lewinsky scandal. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama has high approval ratings even through mess ups.
I say not to focus on Obama. Republicans need to focus on Pelosi and Reid. Congress do the actual legislating anyway.
terryannonline on March 3, 2009 at 9:23 PM
You know, part of me anticipates with glee the coming downfall of Obama’s term. The other part is sickened by what those who don’t deserve the coming misery must endure.
I posted here and elsewhere during the election runup that this country has had the knack of having the right person for the right time, in any given situation. Even a cursory look back through our history will bear that out. The stumbles (Carter) merely point the correct path to take.
Got to admit, this is the very FIRST time I’ve ever had doubts about that.
Not good.
irongrampa on March 3, 2009 at 9:23 PM
In a few years polls will show Obamugabe having 99% approval.
Because the ONE will control the media and polls like Chavez.

We’ll see come July, after The One has been in office 6 months and the stock market is hovering around 5000.
GarandFan on March 3, 2009 at 9:25 PM
I think until Obama’s policies really start to affect the lives of average people your not going to see much movement in his numbers. In a few months time if there is still no improvement in the economy or things continue to get worse despite all of the massive spending that’s when his numbers will start to change. At the moment people who voted for him are still in denial that they were fished in by Obama’s promises of Hope and change and are clinging to the hope that somehow despite the ideological bender Obama has embarked upon everything will work out for the best in the end. Either that or their just don’t want to say that the first Black President is doing a terrible job because they are afraid of being called racists.
Dreadnought223 on March 3, 2009 at 9:25 PM
+1
In 1994 Republicans did NOT run against Bill Clinton, they ran against Tom Foley, Jim Wright, and the corrupt House Democrats. The Contract With America was mostly about how the House was going to operate more democratically and responsibly. We need to make Nancy Pelosi the most unpopular person in America. I really think Obama doesn’t like her very much and won’t go out of his way to help her.
rockmom on March 3, 2009 at 9:26 PM
We are dead. The insane asylum (Washington) has been taken over by the patients. When America was settled, folks came here for opportunity. Why did someone hop in a covered wagon and head west with no promises from anyone – except the promise that a self reliant person had an opportunity to better himself? No one was promised free healthcare. No one was promised Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps or a free education. Now our government is going to pay your mortgage! Well, only for the idiots that bought houses they could not afford. Those that played by the rules and were self reliant get shafted. We will pay for our neighbors’ mistakes.
During a prosperous time, when government receipts exceed its expenses, nothing is wrong with programs to help the disadvantaged. BUT today we have to borrow from China to pay for these additional programs and place the burden on our children to pay the bill. No parent would stand by and sign their child into economic slavery — BUT this is what we collectively allowed our government to do.
My friends the battle has been lost. The number of citizens in this country that believe the government is the tit upon which all people can suck upon from cradle to grave now exceed the number of citizens that want to be self reliant.
THIS WILL END BADLY

“overt confidence in his message” – you might almost say most virile candidate, understanding that the word isn’t gender-specific. (Thatcher was a helluva lot more virile than any of the twits who ran against her, I’d wager. Palin’s a lot more virile that 99% of male politicians.) Machiavelli used a word that has the same root as virile and virtuous – virtu – that translates depending on context as prowess, ability, virtue, virtuosity, etc. (Though the gender associations help explain why Clinton’s horn-doggedness didn’t turn out to be disqualifying politically.)
In short, the apolitical types just make an intuitive guess/ gut check about which leader is a more impressive figure, more up to the job, more a commander or leader, and then they validate their own perceptions until something comes along to break the feedback, which is why Obama’s personal numbers ought to stay above his policy and even his approval/performance numbers for a long time.
CK MacLeod on March 3, 2009 at 9:29 PM

izoneguy on March 3, 2009 at 9:29 PM
I don’t remember much about ’77 — just a really young kid then — but 1993 was similar to now as well. The main difference was I don’t think the media was in the tank quite as brazenly even for Clinton. But there was “Republicans are extinct” talk everywhere. Yawn.

Dritanian on March 3, 2009 at 9:35 PM
Uh huh. And you’ll see the patience and responsibility numbers change depending on how much worse the economy gets. If Obama enacts a policy that leads to worse conditions, as he’s prone to do, you’ll find larger margins attributing the problems to him. People who lose their jobs or know someone who lost his/her job will end up getting less patient.
amerpundit on March 3, 2009 at 9:36 PM
he’s still on his honeymoon. Bush had about the same approval rating this far into 2001. By year’s end he will be under 50% inspite of the MSM’s best efforts.
gsherin on March 3, 2009 at 9:37 PM
i have a friend who is a school teacher who had never heard of ACORN. so the “general public” is just not getting it. they will only feel it at the pump or at walmart. the WSJ poll is probably pretty close. unfortunately.
though the WSJ doesn’t have many kind things to say about bambi’s econ. plans.
kelley in virginia on March 3, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Funny story. The poll is actually a joint poll between the WSJ and, er, NBC. It’s conducted by Hart/McInturff. Hart is Peter Hart, a Democratic pollster.
amerpundit on March 3, 2009 at 9:39 PM
The same non-political people who voted for Obama (pbuh) for no other reason than he was “the handsome black dude who isnt George Bush” will turn on him the minute they lose their job, car, home or PlayStation.
When huge chunks of Obama’s supporters cant cite one thing he ever did in the Senate but they know every slur ever tossed at the Palin family, it wont take much for many of these folks to turn like rabid dogs on He Whose Name May Never Be Mentioned Unless in Messianic Reverence.

To me the biggest difference between Left and Right is the coercion the Left employs in implementing its policies. Conservatives just want to be left the Hell alone. If Lefties want to be Lefties then go for it. Just leave me out of it.

For anyone who cares, Macsmind has the internal sampling as this:
23/12/20 on Democrat/Independent vs. 13/7/12 Republican. That’s 43% as strong to lean democrat vs. 30% strong to lean Republican.
Rational Thought on March 3, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Remember, disatisfaction with the Republican party does not equal left-leaning. Daily contributors to HA see comments all day how mad we are at the GOP. Many of us would say we are dissatisfied with the GOP. I’m dissatisified with the GOP (though a few rays of sunshine seam to be appearing), and would answer as such in a survey. Do I lean left, only after too many drinks and no where to sit.
Do NOT fall prey to these surveys. The majority of “independents” will vote for the party that is considered the winner. And it is time in 2010 and 2012 to win one for the Gipper!
WashJeff on March 3, 2009 at 9:54 PM

Jdripper on March 3, 2009 at 10:00 PM
You sad sacks are the minority fringe. The majority of Americans like Obama, trust him, and have confidence in him. They had enough of Bush, and the Iraq War and tax cuts for the rich. If your ideology is that superior, 2010 will be a whipping for your team against the Dems. Anybody giving odds on that happening? But keep on underestimating Obama’s intellect and popularity and blindly follow the Grand Poobah Maha-rushi (Jobba the Hut) for he is the true center of America.
