RCP President Obama Job Approval
Average 8/4 � 8/28� Approve 41.9% Disapprove 52.3%


There is very bad news for President Obama and the Democrats in a new poll released last night by Investor�s Business Daily.
John Merline writes:
President Obama's approval rating dropped to his lowest levels as the public hammers him on his handling of each of the major crises facing the country, according to the latest IBD/TIPP poll, released on Friday.

The survey, taken the last week of July, found that only 38% of the public approves of the job Obama is doing as president, while 53% disapprove.

That's a 10-point negative swing in just the past month.
Breaking out the internals, it becomes clear that the Border Crisis is driving this sharp decline:

This drop comes despite the fact that personal outlooks and views on the economy and direction of the country have barely budged. Nor did the public's views on Obama's handling of the economy, the budget and jobs change noticeably.

But Obama got extremely low marks in his handling of every major crisis gripping the nation at home and abroad.

Just 25% say Obama is handling the border crisis well, while 56% blame his policies for encouraging the wave of illegal crossings by children and teens.
Even among Democrats, only 46% say Obama is doing a good job, while less than a quarter (23%) of independents do.

This augurs well for the GOP and disastrously for Democrats this November:
Obama hit an all-time low in the IBD/TIPP Presidential Leadership Index, which fell 3.2 points this month to 41.5.

That's almost precisely where the leadership index stood at this point in President Bush's second term, just before Democrats swept the House and Senate in the 2006 midterm elections.

Obama does not do well on other issues, too.

I would agree to let Hawaii secede as long as Barry agrees to apply for Hawaiian citizenship and never set foot in the good ole USA again.

The original post seems like some kind of fairy tail spun to get us all wound up. Hawai'i is my second home and this kind of thing would be big news there - if it were true.

Here is the reality world I live in.

In an election that Republicans want to make all about President Barack Obama, the White House is determined to make him all but disappear in the battleground states that matter.
The White House is putting the finishing touches on a post-Labor Day schedule that will send the president to states where he�s still popular, such as: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois and California, Obama officials and Democratic operatives said this week.

But in the red states that will determine control of the Senate, Obama will remain scarce. That means no personal campaign visits to states like Arkansas, Alaska, Louisiana and North Carolina. He may do some targeted outreach through robocalls, digital ads and conference calls, but the campaign plan is clear: Stay away from candidates he�s already hurting.

Obama�s no-fly zone for certain Senate campaigns reflects the deep concern among Democrats about his drag on the national ticket. Obama can�t seem to get his poll numbers out of the low 40s, he�s struggled through an endless stream of foreign policy crises, and he�s the last person that many candidates want to be forced to defend on the campaign trail.

Six years ago, Obama�s massive campaign organization helped to sweep several Senate Democrats, now the most endangered, into office with his appeal to unite political factions.
Now, he�s an attack line.

Across the country, from Alaska and Colorado, to Louisiana and North Carolina, Republicans are citing how often the Democratic incumbent sided with the White House on votes in Congress. It�s a tactic Democrats used to great effect in 2006 when they wrestled back control of the Senate by linking every incumbent to President George W. Bush, who was even more unpopular than Obama.

�He�s going to be an anchor on each one of these Democrats all the way through,� said Guy Harrison, a media consultant for the Republican Senate nominees in Arkansas, Colorado and North Carolina. �They�re trying to grasp every life preserver they can, but the anchor of Obama is still going to pull them down.�

I'd be more than happy to secede.

Putin wants his Alaska back.

Hey Canada will trade you Hawaii for Saskatchewan

HI is probably like the Indian reservations. They want their own government but still want free roads, schools, military protection, etc. from the feds.

Well, I would trade Hawaii for the Yukon, BC , Alberta, and Sakatchewan, I lived in Hawaii for a time, to be frank, I would keep Pearl Harbor, so that means the Big Island- let them have the rest - cut them all off from Uncle Sugar!

If allowed, what will they do when Putin, China, ISIS or any other of the hundreds of renegades shows up on their shore to take over?
They'll be crying "come save us".

Pearl will always be US Property
