Obama’s 2011 Gallup job approval rating lowest yet
posted at 3:35 pm on January 21, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
This past year’s presidential job-approval average from Gallup caught me by surprise. After all, Barack Obama got Osama bin Laden in May, which gave him a few weeks of good job approval ratings, and his 2010 drubbing in the midterm elections would make most presume that he’d reached his nadir. Not hardly:
President Barack Obama averaged 44% job approval for his third full year in office, which ended Jan. 19. His third-year average is down slightly from his second-year average of 47% and much lower than his first-year average of 57%.
Obama’s third-year average is based on approximately 175,000 interviews with U.S. adults conducted between Jan. 20, 2011 — the second anniversary of his inauguration — and Jan. 19, 2012.
Obama’s job approval rating during his third year in office had its ups and downs, peaking at 53% in May and falling as low as 38% in August and October.
Obama actually finished worse than the overall annual average, with just 43% approval in the final quarter. That included a handful of mid-40s approval ratings at the end of the quarter, so one could argue that Obama has a little momentum coming into a presidential-election year. However, even those readings don’t beat his 2010 average, when Obama’s party got clobbered in midterm elections.
Actually, Obama should be thanking Jimmy Carter. Without Carter’s abysmal 37.9% for 1979, Obama would have set the lowest mark in Gallup history for third-year approval ratings. He now edges out Ronald Reagan, who finished 1983 with a 44.9% rating, but fell well short of Bill Clinton’s 47.5%, which is now third lowest in the series. Of course, both of those presidents won their re-election bids the following year, but both of those also had economies that had obviously strengthened and job creation well under way, especially Clinton, whose rating had more to do with HillaryCare and budgets. (The only other person besides Carter to lose his re-election bid in this series was George H. W. Bush, whose third-year rating was an astronomical 69.5, second-best in the series behind Eisenhower’s 72.1%.)
Andrew Malcolm sums it up well, including Gallup’s note that this is one of the poorer annual averages in their 68-year history:
According to Gallup’s analysis:
“Comparing Obama’s third-year numbers with all presidential years in Gallup records, Obama’s 44% average job approval rating is well below average, ranking 53rd of the 68 presidential years measured.”
So far, so bad. …
So, the better Americans have come to know the guy and to watch his record, the less they seem to think of him. Of course, what really matters is what they think of him starting with early voting this October and ending the night of Nov. 6.
We’ll know more about that as this year unwinds, but unless there is a dramatic economic improvement, those numbers aren’t coming up. If getting Osama bin Laden doesn’t make a difference, then nothing else will.

No worries.
Obama’s poll numbers (and the dead) will rise on Election Day.

thelarryd on January 21, 2012 at 3:41 PM
In his State of Disunion, which I will NOT watch, he’ll claim himself the father of energy independence, jobs, great housing, free everything for all.
He’ll blame congress for the failure of Keystone and all other.
He is a sausage made from: Orwell, Muenchhausen, Pinocchio and Machiavelli.
Then, wimpy Daniels will respond. The images, the images.
Always count on the right to be dumb and to betray you.

don’t get cocky guys. the full force of the obama machine has yet to be felt…the economy will improve by hook or crook, the unemployment numbers will go down…American’s are eager to get a bailout or two, or three…cash in the pocket counts

heh, the other Jesus was dead too.
Obama will rise triumphant.
The “underdog”/”come from behind” script is already written.
Besides the Ruling class is going to have Ron Paul or Trump run to get Obama back in so these polls mean NOTHING.
PappyD61 on January 21, 2012 at 3:46 PM
But when you average this with his ranking as the best president ever with the possible exception of three others, he gets a solid B+.
Sowell Disciple on January 21, 2012 at 3:48 PM
I didn’t know Mickey Mouse and Hitler were zombies.
You know it. If he can get 200 to 300 thousand people a month to drop from the unemployment numbers by simply giving up looking for work the unemployment rate will look mighty fine. You know the MSM will trumpet it from New York to Hawaii to Alaska.
CW on January 21, 2012 at 3:48 PM
If his approval rating is that low then why do Romneybots keep telling me only Romney can only beat him?
Newt can beat him too. I will not settle for flip-flopper Romney

These polls that show an uptick in the economy once in a while lately. Don’t forget all the Republican governors and their state representatives who changed and are having some influence in their local situations. Of course, JugEars will try to take the credit on a national basis and the MSM, will try and give him the credit. They’ll help that squirrel find the nut!
KOOLAID2 on January 21, 2012 at 3:54 PM
Romeny can only win the nomination if people think we have no choice but to nominate him to beat Obama.
His supporters count on fear of Obama winning to tout Romney. They have no other case for him.

If I remember correctly Obama was informed that the Seals were in the process of taking out Bin Lauden but according to the POTUS he was the one who called the shot. You can believe whoever you want to believe but I’ll go with the Seals going in and not the President giving the order to go in.

The point of this primary isn’t to measure Romney’s penis size. That seems to be where you are at.
Dr. Tesla on January 21, 2012 at 4:03 PM
Yep … don’t forget, Obama raised hundreds of millions in 2008 — much of which was illegal and undisclosed. He probably will hit the $1 billion mark as planned this cycle, all with overt, arrogant, impunity.
When will somebody in political office — anybody, maybe especially a non-political leader:
. Stand up to the tyrant?
. Say “Yes, I’m a racist — because as Viktor Frankl said ‘there are only two races, the decent and the indecent’”;
. Give the country a “mad as hell / we’re not gonna take it anymore” rallying cry?
. And/or announce that “We will practice noncooperation with anything — and that means YOU, Mr. President — that diminishes human dignity”?
When, I ask? [Don't bother, I already know the answer ...]
ShainS on January 21, 2012 at 4:05 PM
Have you ever made a conservative case for Romney? You may want to give that a try.
Dr. Tesla on January 21, 2012 at 4:05 PM
Millions of people have given up looking for work and this has been a very lame recovery compared to others.
Sorry to burst your bubble…head.
CW on January 21, 2012 at 4:08 PM
Before we celebrate too much, remember that most of the Vaunted Independent Swing Voters aren’t yet paying attention to politics, ACORN merely underwent some name changes, there are a lot of government workers and welfare recipients who think 0bama is doing a heckuva job, and the MSM is still the MSM.
Factor in the beating the GOP candidates will probably be giving each other for some time yet, and it is anything but certain that Soetoro will be defeated in the fall.
MidniteRambler on January 21, 2012 at 4:08 PM
Obama’s approval rating is about the same percentage of Americans who pay no federal income tax.
Obama and the Democrats are taking nothing from those folks and are most likely giving them taxpayer monies. For them, what’s not to like?
RJL on January 21, 2012 at 4:10 PM
44% approve?
We’re screwed.
You can’t fix stupid in the time that is left.
Mimzey on January 21, 2012 at 4:10 PM
Where did I say I was a Romney fan but all you have to do is go to his site. Not that you would challenge yourself. You know being a sanitation engineer and all.
Not that he is as conservative as we would like but he can beat Obama. If someone else is the GOP nom …I will vote for them as well.

Union workers, government employees, long-term welfare recipients, and 12% or so of the population who vote mostly based on racial allegiance (some overlap among these groups) will keep Soetoro’s floor at about 40%.
As for the other 4%, one thing the world will never run out of is people who are just plain dumb.

Don’t forget the roughly 10% on the far left, who like Cornel West are counting on him cutting loose in full-on Hugo Chavez “Wave my hands and my enemies go Fweesh!” mode. Once he no longer has to worry about being re-elected, that is.
That works out to about one-fourth of his base being the sort who would vote for a long-decayed tuna if it had once been able to quote Mao. While keeping a straight face, or grinning maniacally.
These are not exactly rational people, unfortunately.

Video: Canadian Talk Show Host Destroys Obama Over Keystone Decision
Ezra Levant hosts a show, The Source, for Canada’s Sun News. In a very well-researched presentation, he takes a comprehensive look at Obama’s idiocy over the Keystone Pipeline. Be sure to watch the whole thing and pay particular attention to the map of the alleged “pristine, environmentally sensitive area” through which the pipleline will pass. I don’t know who this guy is, but he certainly did his homework.

CW – Guys like “resident” won’t even read your quoted info. For all their complaining about evangelicals in the Republican Party, the Democrats became the party of irrational, religious zealotry a long time ago. The important thing for lefties is that they have faith in liberalism no matter what its destructive results actually are. And Obama is the greatest saint/god they’ve ever had.
GDP’s dead and half their town’s unemployed? It’s cuz those damn Republicans are obstructionist! Nevermind that Obama had wide Dem majorities in both houses of Congress for his first two years and that they still hold the Senate.
They’ve proclaimed themselves the “fact-based community” but many, if not most, Democrats carry stats like “resident” quoted that are irrelevant to the actual reality everyone’s experiencing. If Obama personally bombed their city, they’d still vote for him. Liberalism is a religion. A warped, insane religion, but a religion.
Django on January 21, 2012 at 5:13 PM
When a lefty politician has a low approval rating the problem is messaging, never bad policy.
Wigglesworth on January 21, 2012 at 5:14 PM
He knows that all he has to do is give a few of those great inspirational speeches and he’ll bounce back up to 50…no hurries./
Norky on January 21, 2012 at 5:29 PM
I am sure Obama is very happy with those numbers.
It shows he has a very solid base of people that approve of him.
Any slight tick up in the economy and he will quickly go over 50% approval.
His ratings always seem to go up or stop dropping when he lays low and keeps out of the lime light…..voting “present” works for him.

CW on January 21, 2012 at 4:08 PM
This is funny. You can’t argue with facts so you start name calling. The number of jobs created or people hired is a separate fact. If the economy is producing jobs in a positive thread increasing month to month, what’s not to like. Instead you want to argue for the policy that ended up with the worst recession in American history when the economy was losing 750K JOBS A MONTH, the job got as low as 6,300, today its over 12K. Argue facts boys.
residentblue on January 21, 2012 at 6:16 PM
You mean like the fact that Obama promised us that if the so-called “Stimulus Bill” weren’t passed, unemployment would rise all the way to 8%?
On that fact alone, Soetoro will be labelled one of the worst presidents in US history, barely above losers like James Buchanan.
Or the fact that when unemployment stood below 6% John Kerry blasted President Bush for presiding over a “jobless recovery”?
What was the unemployment rate when the GOP, i.e. the party of free enterprise and capitalism, last controlled both the White House and House of Representatives in 2006?
And as for your argument that any improvement in unemployment numbers is cause for celebration, one might argue the GOP majority in the House at least slowed Barry’s spending?
Heck, if a drop to 8.5% unemployment is cause for celebration, what happened to your Dear Leader’s claim that he could lower the oceans and “heal the planet”? Given those superpowers, surely creating a few jobs is within his grasp when he is not feeding the multitude with two loaves and three fishes? The quasi-divinity his followers assign him makes hollow your claim that Barry could not deal with the “mess he inherited”.
MidniteRambler on January 21, 2012 at 6:43 PM
From your mouth to g-d’s ears…
Violina23 on January 21, 2012 at 6:47 PM
And based on what we’ve seen over the last 3 years, Barry isn’t going to do anything to improve the economy.
Unless you count canceling Keystone, more Solyndra-type investments, more economic incentives like “Cash for Clunkers”, maybe another $1 BILLION stimulus, or – following the obvious success of Illinois, raising taxes.
GarandFan on January 21, 2012 at 6:51 PM
Obama is a politician, and just like all politician, they are prone to over promise its called campaigning. Do you seriously believe all these republican candidates are going to be able to meet half of their rhetoric in achievements?
The only facts that are cogent here are that there is a positive trend in job growth and that things are getting better. Willard wanted GM to be dissolved but today its once again the world largest automaker, alas making profits again. People before things, mittens of bain would have shipped the whole of Michigan to Canada like an orphan child. It would be interesting to see how he would campaign in Michigan and Ohio….

If Obama loses and the margin is two or three swing states with big-labor dominated urban areas (e.g. OH, PA, IN, WI), I believe we’ll see some kind of Dem/Lib/Labor/ACORN beast coalescing to challenge the result in however many states Obama would need to win. Dems badly want revenge for Florida 2000 by any means necessary.
As it happens however, the GOP candidate roster of Double A backups seems these days to be giving Obama his re-election on a plate with every msm-moderated debate.

mickytx on January 21, 2012 at 8:16 PM
One thing is for sure: if Obozo can’t win re-election with the support of the unions, Acorn, the MSM, the Hollywood elites, the dead people, and the Zombie groupies the whole nation gets proof once and for all what an embarrassing loser he really is. I mean, the dude has an upper hand that is astronomical. It’s like the hobbits against Sauron(sp).
When he loses, the next President needs to make him disclose his true birth certificate and his school records for the whole nation to see. Then we can put this stain on the presidency to rest once and for all. Many analytical books will be written on the topic of “How did the American People let this happen, and what can we do in the future to prevent this from happening again?”
The re-building of this great nation will be a monumental task that has to be accomplished over a span of 2-3 presidencies.

Sandybourne on January 21, 2012 at 9:02 PM
Think back to the last election:
Obama, an utter unknown (meaning, had few to no “numbers”), played (as in, performed) the golden-voiced crooner sweetly standing back with the poetic, figurative flowing cape and top hat and let the shrill, forceful, pants-wearing Hillary barge right on, while the Right self-destructed in conflict and lack of self-worth.
Meanwhile, there remained Obama, golden-voice, flirtatious, that big smile, that deigning or refusing to conflict with others, that suggestive invitation to just go-mellow with him into the purple sheets.
That’s his and Axelrod’s and the DNC’s gameplan and they’re playing it again. Note Obama’s even singing to the crowds about “chains, chain of fools…” Just as he did, again figuratively, with his megaphone to the tribe in Africa to implement Communism there, among other similar flirtatious, go-my-way solicitations he engages in everywhere when it’s vote-gettin’ time.
Gingrich is another McCain. It’s the McCain-Hillary knock-down boffo-drag-out b**ch fest all over again between the fringe who assumes they’re leading while Obama and the DNC laugh all the way to the polls. Obama and others of his awful character will always have the faint of heart, the weak, the gullible, the lustful, the jealous, the vengeful and foolish to vote for him/them. And there will always be similar misguided people on the Right, so-called, who think that bombast means winning (which it does not).
Lourdes on January 21, 2012 at 9:10 PM
The biggest risk about Gingrich is the harder you hug him, the more he eeks out in unexpected liabilities elsewhere. Rallying around Gingrich is an exercise in squeezing jello.
Lourdes on January 21, 2012 at 9:13 PM
Agreed. But the same can be said about all.

Yep.

Failing to close Gitmo is a campaign “over-promise”; Soetoro had already been elected and immaculated (not a typo) when he promised that borrowing almost a trillion dollars to fund the “Stimulus” would hold unemployment below 8%; it was not “campaigning”. It was an economy-killing lie by one of the worst Presidents ever.
Besides, you lefties love to talk about how the “Lightbringer” “Jedi” Potus, “the One” we “have been waiting for” was going to transcend “red state/blue state” divides and politics as usual. In admitting the whole idea of Obama was, is, and will be.

In admitting that Soetoro is just another politician, you are admitting that the whole idea of Obama was, is, and will be a lie.
