Last Week in Review
President Obama has worse polling numbers than Bush in his last year of office according to Rasmussen's disapproval ratings in December and now Gallup concurs as Obama starts off January 2010 with the worst disapproval rating since Eisenhower. See: President Obama has his worst monthly approval rating yet in December and people identifying themselves as Democrat is at an all time low as Republicans gain their biggest lead in the congressional polling.
Just a note of interest at Values Voter News the most key worded entry that comes to Values Voter News is "obama approval rating chart" which has continued to spike since late October which is consistent with Google trends spike. It is great that there are alternative media sources that fill the gaps that Big Media seem to miss. This I believe is one of them. Big Media has been finally coming around to reporting on some of what has been in the alternative media for some time and as Obama's popularity drops despite Big Media I think Big Media will start coming around and be quite different in 2010 than 2009 thanks to the alternative media sources. They will probably still have their liberal slant though. For both sides on the current issues see AvoidtheBias.com.
One of the reasons for the rise in Obama's disapproval along with the economy, Gitmo detainee trials, unpopular abortion positions, current health care bill, national security, a growing monster of a government with no tangible result as of yet and broken campaign promises the latest being highlighted below on the legislative process of this health care bill.
Now to be fair our President has stepped into a rough economy but at the same time has done a lot of very unpopular things besides not meeting his objective on job creation as noted above and below is maybe the latest along with the national security failure.
