President Barack Obama could not pass a background check if he was applying for a gun permit or a job. Why has this man been allowed to remain in office or take the oath for a second time? During the 2008 campaign, it was known that: •His official, long form birth records were SEALED. •His Occidental College records were SEALED. •His Columbia College records were SEALED. •His Harvard College records were SEALED. •His College thesis – SEALED. •His Harvard Law Review articles – SEALED. •His Indonesian adoption records – SEALED. •His passport file – SEALED. •His medical records – Unavailable •His baptism records – Unavailable •His papers from his service in the Illinois legislature – Unavailable •His Illinois State Bar Association records – Unavailable The birth certificate that the White House released is reputed by document experts to be false. The Social Security number he has used was issued to someone else. He could not pass an E-Verify test.

A poll doesn't have to call everyone in America to be valid, idiots. You also have to have a job and be able to afford a phone, which clearly DQs all of you. FOUR MORE YEARS!

A CBS poll,,nothing to trust. Look at the comments. obama did not win the election, it was another fake election ...look at the people who are mad as hell !

Has anyone noticed that since Oblahblah signed his 23 executive orders on gun control, Yahoo hasn't posted an article about it. I do believe His Highness does control the media.

Who the hell cares what the dumb-masses think? The train is coming down the track upon them and they are clearing the cattle. The masses deserve tyranny and they got it. People are too stupid to be free.

YOU LOST! Get it through your head; Nothing to us was worst than the Bush's & Regan! COMMUNIST is when you take a $319 Billion Dollar Surplus (CLINTON) to a $420 Billion Deficit (BUSH II)
111646122Mark W Clark said on Friday, Jan 18 at 12:40 PM
I just wonder what his APPROVAL rating would be if ALL U.S. CITIZENS where included! It's so funny these polls only include a select group of people! DID WE REALLY ELECT this PRESIDENT or was this done in a closed door session like so many things in WASHINGTON D.C.!
111646026Mizarsix said on Friday, Jan 18 at 12:39 PM
Apparently there's a whole lot of people in Alaska that can't handle being in the minority. Incidentally, the most uneducated of us tend to be in the right wing, I'm just sayin'. They're the most malleable. All this coming from a state that produced Sarah Palin...I'm not surprised. You guys wouldn't know a good president if you tripped over one. And you just did...
111645932frank t said on Friday, Jan 18 at 12:34 PM
well, if they'd asked me they would have had one more on the approval side.
111645582Jeff B. said on Friday, Jan 18 at 12:33 PM
They must have polled 51% of the dumbest people in the U.S. They probably polled all the illegals that he gave the voting rights to. Or maybe the illegals that get our benefits even though they haven't lived or worked in the U.S.
111645482BL said on Friday, Jan 18 at 12:27 PM
I saw the Obama Phone Lady in an interview dicovering how Obama has even lied to her. I would vote for her in a minute if she ran against him. I still can't believe he's getting a 2nd term..............somebody slap me! Please wake me from this nightmare!
111645042dom said on Friday, Jan 18 at 12:24 PM
they only asked 1100 people, how is that accurate?

When you're robbing peter to pay paul, you'll always have pauls support.
111644315Kurt said on Friday, Jan 18 at 12:10 PM
That should tell you that 49% of Americans work for a living. Also that he'll have to eliminate 49% of the population if he wants to be King. Very sad to watch him flush the us down the toilet and see 51% of the population are okay with becoming serf's

BREAKING NEWS:Wanted information on the whereabouts of a little chicken last seen trying to convince a group of people who post on this forum that any poll stating anything positive about the President was not to be believed.He was also telling them that the sky was falling.God Bless he or she who posts on this forum and God Bless America.

The real deal is that regerdless of who had the office previously there have, and will be challenges. All of the negative comments that we put out makes the U.S. look like a house divided. I will say that as others empowered their own efforts in the WHITE house and some of you said nothing about the direction of the country but here's a thrust to help THE people and most of these comments come from folk who benefit from the aid of those we degrade.

Keeping in mind that the ultra left media always manipulates the news/facts to favor the OBAMA gang, who really trusts such "polls"? This president portrays himself as a monarch of a subservient country, not the USA.
111640271Doug J. said on Friday, Jan 18 at 11:36 AM
Keep pouring the kool-aid, its cheap. The sheeple will follow, being blindly obedient.

Obama sucks and is going to turn America into a Communist Country. Even the lady from Cleveland that wanted the free Obama Phone says she screwed up giving him her vote, so what does that say.
111639861j. cairns said on Friday, Jan 18 at 11:26 AM
I wonder what the results of the election would be if he was up front with his views on using executive orders to trim a little fat off the constitution....
111639181Rosa said on Friday, Jan 18 at 11:25 AM
I am part of the 41%.
111639091joe said on Friday, Jan 18 at 11:18 AM
Serious, is the majority of america still that stupid. I can maybe understand the lesser of two evils argument in Novemeber (though i think he was the bigger evil) But, the majority of people are actually happy with him. I guess god chose not to bless us all with a brain.
111638595Anonymous said on Friday, Jan 18 at 11:00 AM
There are approximately 30% of American far right gun freak, racists who would never give the President a compliment for any reason. It is a truly vitriolic hate.
111637211akrock said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:59 AM
According to this story you can nullify the 50/50 which only leaves a 1% approval rating. WooHoo, whoopty doo.
111637111Les Saunders said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:57 AM
I was polled on Nove. 6th, 2012 and I'm among the 51% that didn't vote for Mittens...Just think where we would be now with Mittens in Office?
111637021mccotter said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:56 AM
it went up from 47% to 51% keep up the good work obama and we will all be on welfare except the millionaires some one got to paid
111636992Greg M. said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:56 AM
With media like yahoo, cbs, nbc, new york times, la times, etc... he should be at 100% but most intelligent people know he is a dangerous fool.
111636986J.L. Thompson said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:53 AM
Yep, I'll buy the 51%.... 51% of those that voted for him....
111636781The Pirogue said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:50 AM
Did anyone notice they stated 1,110 adult were polled? A good representative number for the whole country. (Sarcasm)
111636572gwir said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:49 AM
52% got him elected but he acts as if 90% elected him. He is very divisive and does not know how to pull the country together. I don't think history will not be kind to Mr. Obama.

bunch of people on b!@#hing and complaining... If we all worked as hard as we complain, maybe things would be different in this country!
111636502Louis said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:49 AM
I wouldn't believe anything that any media outlet, other than Fox, would tell me about anything the president does, is, or has been.
111636431Paul Revere said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:45 AM
Did they poll any homeless people?
111636061Paul Revere said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:43 AM
Was this a phone poll?
111635901sbmike said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:42 AM
51% huh? Another poll asked how many people would be watching the inauguration. Only 21% want to see their beloved leader sworn in for another four tortuous years. Go figure...

Doesn,t full me, What a joke..
111634941Ex-pat to be said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:29 AM
Wow, that's pretty bad when the liberal press can only manipulate the numbers of their own liberal democrat pollees to show 51%!
111634331BobD said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:09 AM
I believe all the posts ahead of me pretty well sums up my thoughts on the poll and the POS Odumbo..
111632276james durham said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:09 AM
Obama has once again proved that we are moving away from democracy..my payroll tax'S have increased again by 7$ and my "raise" was 20 cents an hour I cant see how raising taxs again will help...im going out to buy some ammo
111632271Justme said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:08 AM
You would probably get more correct results polling high schoolers
111632191ronh said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:06 AM
Oblaba supporters are like christmas lights-----most don't work, and the ones that do are not very bright!!!!
111632122Richard Jones said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:04 AM
Many thought the same thing about George W. Bush and I am pretty sure some of you all voted twice for that person that proven to be a lame duck president in the end.
111631886Rick Driskell said on Friday, Jan 18 at 9:56 AM
The misguided 51% that elected him. These people are so easily fooled by Obama the great. He is acting more like a king now, not a president. It's hard to believe that so many people pay so little attention to what Obama is doing. Divide and conquer is his mantra. He has done an excellent job of convincing the weak minded people of his abilities.
111631172Anonymous said on Friday, Jan 18 at 9:56 AM
hello is anyone home the lights are on but nobody's home here .lib snow cones anyone .and this is real news ..
111631161MadameX said on Friday, Jan 18 at 9:56 AM
I bet the % of error is at least 2.5% points either way. 51% might be less than 49% or as much as 53.5%. How many people were polled? How old are they? What political party do they belong to? All questions that go into the numbers.
111631092jetago said on Friday, Jan 18 at 9:53 AM
That's the 51% standing on the street corner with their hands out for some more fed's goodies. The 41% are the ones that are paying the tab!!!! IT SUCKS, AND SO DOES OBAMA!!!!

Lynne, What do you mean, "No one polled me." Of course, they did-- they're called, Texas and they've been doing it since you were young.

Agreed - worst President in US history, accelerating our decline, inciting class warfare, ensuring America is worse off for the future.

Obama got 51% of what poll. I don,t believe he ever got that kind of approval for anything.I think he is the lowest parasite ever to get into public office. I wasn,t polled either !
111629441Ms Pat said on Friday, Jan 18 at 9:33 AM
How can Obama's approval rate be 51%? You must have called the most uneducated, uninformed,citizens in the USA.
111629311Gary Elmore said on Friday, Jan 18 at 9:32 AM
Pretty sure that is not a fair representation of his rating outside of New York and the liberal media circle.
