"2012 Shellacking": Obama Approval Mirrors 2010

With about five weeks to go until election day. And the MSM's wishful thinking of the president's position in the polls, let's take a look at the approval numbers. Shall we?

President Obama's current approval numbers resemble the same numbers from 2 years ago, when he said he got a "shellacking." In 2010, Democrats lost a historic 63 House seats and 6 Senate seats.

September 27, 2010: Obama net approval rating among likely voters = -3% (48% approving, 51% disapproving)
-among those who felt "strongly" = -14% (27% approving, 41% disapproving)

September 27, 2012: Obama net approval rating among likely voters = -3% (48% approving, 51% disapproving)
-among those who felt "strongly" = -14% (28% approving, 42% disapproving)

Two years after the president got a "shellacking," Americans are still as unimpressed with Obama today as they were in 2010.

karl rove just made the rounds saying polls are "flawed" because every one of them has romney getting massacred.

i think romneys defeat will go down as one of the biggest shellackings in the history of democracy.

it serves him right. the american people have by in large woken up.

the stupid smiling fake plastic candidate would have worked before george w. bush. when people believed in their leaders still.

i would love to see his ego massively deflated on election day. but he's so arrogant, he'll lay blame on the "entitled" bottom feeders he so loathes.

"On This Very Day"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MSM's Consistent Track Record of BEING WRONG:

September 29, 2000
MSM says,”Bush has NO POSSIBLE COURSE that would result in him defeating Gore.”

September 29, 2004
MSM tells us NO WAY Bush can win, having Kerry up 86-14 on intrade.

September 29, 2010
MSM tells us NO WAY Republicans would gain control of Congress. And that, IN FACT, Democrats would GAIN seats due to Obama’s fantastic leadership. Obama got a "shellacking."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

November 2, 2004 (Election Day)
Bad exit polls leaked and Kerry spiked up 90 to 10 on intrade. Bush won.

In the new USA Today/Gallup poll, 64% or Republicans say they are more enthusiastic than usual about voting vs. 48% of Democrats saying the same.
