Voters believe that Barack Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush and think that the country would be worse off if Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had won the 2008 election, according to a new poll. A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday showed that voters think Obama's time in the White House has been better than Bush's by a 46-30 percent margin. Twenty-two percent said they are about the same. Forty-one percent of voters also say that the country would be in worse shape if McCain was in the Oval Office. The poll shows Obama in a stronger political position than he was on the eve of the 2010 midterm elections, when he conceded that his party took a "shellacking" from Republicans, who took the majority in the House and picked up six Senate seats. "On balance, the American people are giving him thumbs up halfway through his presidency," Quinnipiac University assistant polling director Peter A. Brown said. "Given the pasting his party took at the polls in November, the president and his supporters can take some heart that things aren’t all that bad politically for Obama’s reelection." The president also saw his approval rating rise to 48 percent in the survey. But Obama could face some tough sledding once Congress resumes normal business following its break to honor the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) Republicans are anxious to hammer away at Obama's healthcare reform law when they bring up a repeal bill for final debate and a vote in the House. A number of GOP presidential candidates are also expected to officially enter the 2012 race in the comings months, which would give them a greater public pedestal to criticize the president. Quinnipiac surveyed 1,647 registered voters between Jan. 4-11. The poll has a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points.

They are both all but identical. You just can't get over the party designation hurdle, can you?
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
LOL!! The Kenyan farce is way more disgusting than the court jester of the Bush crime family. Just my opinion.
that's a good sign. And Obama's poll numbers are tracking at around 50% approval, better than Reagan at this point in Reagan's first term.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
Nonsense! There can not be that many liberal/socialist, emotionally disturbed dupes frightend to hysteria to cause that to happen.
If you expect your posts to be taken seriously by adults, you need to 1) Loose the LOL! on every post. It makes you look as stupid as yukon. 2) Realize that no matter how much you hate Obama, he was born in Hawaii, not Kenya.

Thanks for the biggest laugh I've had all day.

1) Loose the LOL! on every post. It makes you look as stupid as yukon. I could probably do that if you and some others would stop saying the silly sh! t you do. 2) Realize that no matter how much you hate Obama, he was born in Hawaii, not Kenya. I might realize that the little puppet is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people, but it is not hate to laugh about it.

Then you might show us your evidence, but since you have none, you can't.

Another helpless victim.
Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains. Thomas Jefferson
One can only conclude that there is something seriously wrong in Alaska that creates so many incoherent posters.

Let's see if we can figure it out...its close to Russia, every Alaska resident is a welfare recipient from birth...

You think I am a liberal/socialist like you? See, now you know why I laugh at you.
Is this true? Do you get gov't 'handouts'?
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Some of us have to work past retirement age to support the socialist slugs.
What was the debt and unemployment rate? The population? Dare you to compare them with what they are today.
Nice dodge to answering the original question, "Do you get gov't 'handouts'?"
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Bullsh!t!! I already told you, I pay for yours. Stop being and ungrateful bastard.
You don't pay for anyone. Alaska receives the most federal spending per person, at $13,916. Alaska is an entire state full of welfare deadbeats.
“Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: "Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!" Pls see my Facebook page.” - Sarah Palin
LOL!! You just can not face reality. Some old person going on three-quarters of a century on this planet is still taking care of themselves and still paying taxes so slugs like you can get a free ride. Well it is comming to an end, I do not need you, you need me. The only reason you socialist slugs took up residence in Alaska's cities was to bleed the state for handouts. The city is filled with you filty blood sucking leaches and soon they will be going back to where they came from. The handouts will soon end.
I don't live in America's sewer, you do, you old welfare sucking bastard.

It's why they become socialists. The only reason you socialist slugs took up residence in Alaska's cities was to bleed the state for handouts. The city is filled with you filty blood sucking leaches and soon they will be going back to where they came from. The handouts will soon end. They'll starve rather than find REAL work. And when they've gone about four days without food, and it's starting to hit them that, 'oh, shit, nobody's gonna give me a handout, they'll try to rob you, take food from your family, steal your money and/or weapons... It's gonna' happen. All that matters is what THEY think. All that matters is what THEY want. Until you cure them of such delusions...
In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. ... The heresy of heresies was common sense. http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=16281&Disp=9#C9 Inescapable conclusion? Socialists are unable to accept reality. I.e., they're INSANE.
Voters? You mean the same dumb son-of-a-bitches that elected the moron? Unemployment over 10%, foreclosures near record highs, oil $90.00/bbl and a near depression? WTF? Just how fookin stupid are these polled "voters"?
LOL!! Maybe I will live long enough to hear about you leaches killing each other for a mouthful of food or, even worse, eating each other. You better find some self respect and learn how to take care of yourself or you will surely be eaten. Perhaps I will still be here eating moose and caribou steaks and enjoying some grilled salmon as the news of your demise spreads across the land.
I'm certain of that. I hope I live long enough to see the socialist pestilence come to an end.
Well, you'll be doing it with money stolen from the rest of us. Enjoy your socialized medicine - Medicare, your SS welfare check, not to mention the $13k you grifters steal from the working people. You ought to be embarrassed, gramps, not bragging.

You are the fookin sewer, asshat!
I Have to get to work, so I leave the baby sitting of the Yukie Wank to you. ;-D
The asshat doesn't have the courage to address me, mustelid. I verbally kick her liberal Manchelle size ass all over the forum.
Your extreme fear is manifest in every post. You know your free ride is coming to an end. You know the elitist slime that has duped you will leave you to rot in a dead society. You know you can not take care of yourself. I can smell your fear. You babble the same stupid drivel over and over because you can not think for yourself. I can take care of myself and in your insanity you hate me for that but you will never have enough self respect to learn how to do it yourself. Soon you will have no nanny, what will you do?
I don't have a free ride, so I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I pay my way for everything, including my health insurance. You, on the other hand have "socialized" medicine and government handouts. You seem to be a very confused man. Perhaps you should use your socialized medicine and see a doctor. You may be coming down with dementia.

You just babble the same nonsense no matter what I say to try to help you. You are a very sad case.
Skidmark, like most liberals, is just a big pussy!
Says the welfare deadbeat.

What's it like to cower in fear on an internet forum, big pussy? Does someone need to change and powder you every so often so you don't get diaper rash?
LOL!! Very sad.
cat "lady"; Another helpless victim. You really are the most ignorant poster that I ever seen on the web you stupid libTURD cunt. The only victims here are your putative daughter, and your cats. Oh, and your messiah "king" obammy of course. Do you get the vapors when he reads the teleprompter? What a "man" eh? LMAO!!!!!!
Living in mouth breather's empty noggins 24/7/365 totally rent free!
Of that, I have no doubt.

skippy, go56, ferret mike, brian S(ocialist).... They're all exactly the same. If you've not read it recently, I'd suggest you take another look at Orwell's 1984. In fact, you can download it for free (I downloaded to my blackberry, read it over a week, between all the other stuff going on)... The socialists here all fit into the mold of 1984, using doublethink, newspeak, etc. It's not that they're stupid by nature; the fact is that they're willfully ignorant, and automatically ignore anything which might contradict their preconceived opinions. If you come up with conclusive, rock-solid proof that the "global warming" phenomenon does not exist, they'll ignore it or try to twist it into some other crisis that can only be solved by eugenics (the TRUE goal of the "green" movement- to save the Earth, we must kill all humans). If you conclusively demonstrate that Barry Soetero is not, in fact, eligible to be POTUS (through whichever legal situation you choose), they will ignore it. If you have some immutable, observable and measurable fact stated by any of the "right-wing," such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, or even Alex Jones or ManCow, they will automatically ignore it; anything stated by someone they don't like, MUST be a lie. Anything stated by the state they fawn over and love (even as it tries to kill them) MUST be true. When the propaganda of the state contradicts with observable reality, they actually work at surpressing the realization that the state lies, and choose to actively believe the lies... And then, once they believe the lies, truth and logic can be happily tossed out the window. They are ALL sad examples... Sad because of what and who they are, sad because they actually choose to be this way. It's pathetic.

It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. ...

You did not back up the statement you made, yet you want me to do your Googling for you. Am I supposted to also wipe your baby ass too? Grow up.
