Obama Approval Crumbles in Ohio

Might be time to bus in the ACORN thugs to crack some heads in Ohio. The state was overrun by the perpetrators of voter fraud last fall and helped Obama win the traditional swing state.

Well, it sure looks like Hopenchange has suffered a premature death there.

President Obama's job approval in Ohio has dropped significantly in the last two months, dipping under the 50% mark for the first time, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University. In the last Quinnipiac poll in Ohio taken in early May, Obama enjoyed a healthy 62% job approval rating, with only 31% disapproving. Today, Obama's job approval stands at 49%, with 44% disapproving - a twenty-five point net drop in just eight weeks.

Not surprsingly, Obama has seen a corresponding drop among voters' approval of his handling of the economy: two months ago he had a net +21 approval (57/36), today it is -2 (46/48).

A swing of 23 points in two months, all the while he lamely blames Bush for his own economic mess.

Let's hope Ohio is an indicator of crumbling approval nationwide.

Meanwhile, Obama now also is at his lowest Rasmussen approval index.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 33% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-six percent (36%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –3. Those figures reflect the highest level of strong disapproval measured to date and the lowest level recorded for the overall Approval Index.
