Obama’s poll numbers: bin Laden bump is gone
By Brian Kirwin | Thursday, June 9th, 2011 | PoliticsEveryone expected Obama’s lift in poll numbers from the successful bin Laden mission wouldn’t last forever.
But only a month?
Looks that way. Obama’s approval rating is under 50 again, and the recent gains he made with Republicans has all but vanished.
He’s also losing a few Democrats and more than a few independents, and it’s the economy. People’s top issues are the economy, unemployment, gas prices and the deficit.
It’s all about bucks!
Independent approval crashed to 42%.
Obama, the seeds are being sewn for you to blow re-election. Most Presidents win a second term. People don’t just think the economy is in rotten shape. That’s been at 80% for months.
People expect a Great Depression is coming soon. That’s at 48%!
IT’S THAT BAD!
If Obama wants to play Kevin Bacon from Animal House and squeal “All is well…All is well,” he may wind up the same way Kevin did.

He’s not going to squeal “all is well”. He will do the leftist demagoguery to the end. Don’t dismiss that. It works in many places around the world.
