Poll: Almost half of America would prefer Bush to Obama
File this under “you know it’s getting bad when” (via Ben Smith):
Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama’s declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they’d rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that’s somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country’s difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited. The closeness in the Obama/Bush numbers also has implications for the 2010 elections. Using the Bush card may not be particularly effective for Democrats anymore, which is good news generally for Republicans and especially ones like Rob Portman who are running for office and have close ties to the former President.
Ed Morrissey points to another poll that shows declining approval numbers for Obama (46%), and notes:
The downward decline has picked up speed, too. It may be hard to recall this, but just six- months ago, Obama had a 59% approval rating, with only 31% disapproving. Two months ago, he still had a 50/41 split. It’s worse among independents, though. He’s underwater by 14 points, 37/51, an eleven-point plunge from last month’s 43/46. Six months ago, independents gave Obama a 27-point gap to the good, which means he’s flipped 41 points in just six months among this key group.
Over that same six-month period of time, Obama has had a 37-point flip on the economy, too: he’s 41/54 now, as opposed to 57/33 in June. He’s been underwater for most of that same time on health care, the last three months in double digits, so the 18-point deficit at 38/56 now is more evolutionary than sudden.
The combination of results from various pollsters shows that Obama has entered a free-fall on his approval ratings. Robert Gibbs can blame Gallup all he wants, but these results vindicate Gallup and show that his boss has a real problem. People have begun to realize that this emperor wears no clothes.
Nah – that just means that more people are becoming “raaacists.”

Nah, they’ve always been racist, but tried to absolve themselves by voting for the first black (or African or whatever) that came along in spite of a complete lack of experience or understanding.
Unfortunately, the corner drug dealer could probably do as good or better job as Duh-1 because they’ve not been infected with “academicitis hubris”, haven’t been pushed along due in spite of very poor academic performance, and have a much broader scope of friends from which to take advice.
But then, I didn’t vote for him because he’s an effete intellectual, a naybob of negativism whose dearest desire is to imprison anyone who can’t see his shining godliness.
Scotty Rassmussen said this mornin’ that when his polls come out in favor of the “progressive left”, they always call him “a genius with integrity”. Not so when the polls go in the other direction. Now if we can get these lost Senators to read the polls that say “if you pass this insane healthcare bill you’re out of a job”. But alas, at this point, I don’t think they even care anymore, as long as they “make history”.
Everything is relative. Looking at the ongoing train wreck that is Obama makes one long for the good old Bush days. I just pray that Obama doesn’t wreck the train worse than did Carter.
Does this redefine the meaning of “post-racial” ?
Or does it merely show that Black or White, Americans can come together to greatly dislike their President, regardless of race ?
Maybe we should start a pool to predict when Obama will stop blaming Bush.
Obama is single handedly restoring the Bush legacy.
Now that the current President has shut off any real jobs growth in good jobs by his Stimulus, the GWB legacy will only be enhanced.
‘ol George didn’t get everything right, but he certainly tried. Obama doesn’t care about being right.. He only cares about remaining in power.
He’ll never stop blaming Bush, Neo. It’s kinda like the killers judges give light sentences to because the felon’s parents were middle class and the felon never had the chance to learn how to avoid getting caught so he blames the felon’s actions on his parents.
One of the primary legs of liberalism in America today is to never take responsibility, never get blamed for anything that goes wrong but to blame others. The other part of it is never let anyone else take credit when something, by whatever fluke of nature, goes right (see Pelousy, Dingy, Chucky, etc., and of course Duh-1, about that).
Bush?? Hell, I’d prefer Clinton to Obama.
If Obama keeps going at this rate, we’re going to look back on even the Carter years as “the good old days”.
I fear for my three children. I can be proud to say I did not vote for him and was literally depressed to the point of tears for weeks after the election. And his blatant disregard for the will of the American people should be his undoing. Time will tell. But I am wondering if we will survive under a clueless Socialist hell-bent on destroying every financial sector in a scorched earth agenda. Our greatness may be over.
Heck, GWR, I’d prefer cancer to Duh-1.
Oh, wait, he is a cancer.
