President Barack Obama's approval ratings have fallen to a new low, with only 36 percent of Americans saying that they approve of the way he is handling his job overall, according to a new poll from the Economist/YouGov. A majority of Americans - 56 percent - disapprove of the president's performance.

The Economist/YouGov poll surveyed 1000 respondents with a margin of error of 3.7 percent.

The dregs will continue to use oBUMa pics in their signatures.

And they'll continue to defend his feckless example of leadership- truly morons who fail to EVER learn.

There's always a segment of society that is too stupid to learn. We call them "leftists."

Nor are they particularly convinced by the president's jobs bill push. More Americans believe that the bill would not create a substantial number of new jobs, and 64 percent of those polled say the president should be doing more to help create new jobs.

I wonder if they've been listening to the GOP debates?

Romney ***thinks*** being an LBO specialist created jobs...Perry ***thinks*** that the jobs/opportunities should go to the immigrants legal or otherwise...Paul would do nothing and who the hell knows where Bachmann stands? She'd claim that jobs programs causes mental retardation....

Oddly not included by Padlock was this:

Still, there are glimmers of hope for Obama and the Democrats.

As has been true in other polls, more trust Democrats than Republicans to handle the issue of job creation, and more believe that government spending is the way to create more jobs.

"As has been true in other polls, more trust Democrats than Republicans to handle the issue of job creation, and more believe that government spending is the way to create more jobs."

The padlock scum of the world hope mostly for successful denial of the right to vote by rethugs in measures like the closing of the DMVs in Wiscolnsin and the memos there about keping quiet about the what, where to get and deadlines in tregards to the free voter's ID cards.

This buzzard is actuallt frightened the expectable, which is that the encumbant is re-elected after the Rethugs tear each other apart in a vicious primary season. And the fear about Social Security and Medicare is as primal with the voters and an issue gets, and we are going to see incredible numbers of ads hammering home the GOPer weakness on this point.

I really would be surprised to see President Obama defeated when push comes to shove, and all is said and done.

Mike you hate the constitution,

Here is a truth test for you.

Does the interstate commerce clause give Obama lawful authority to force the American people to purchase health care insurance?

You supported this act that is a plane violation of the constitution. It is you and your sick ilk that hate the constitution. Obama is the main perp right now. If Perry is elected I expect him to have Obama executed for treason. That is what he sounded like anyway when he said that the Federal Reserve under Obama was committing treason. That is the penalty for treason.

Do you remember why the Constitution relaced the Articles of Confederation? The Constitution is there to not only protect state rights, it is there to allow 'the several' states' to opertate as a country with coodination of effort and sense of purpose that makes the American Experiment the Revolution started successful.

I support requiring auto insurance and the new heath care laws because they make things fairer and actually much more affordable and fair to all then would be the case if we all didn't share the responsibility and load of responsibility and risk only some unity of purpose would allow us to achieve.

The requirement is very constitutional, ratonal and fair.

We all get old and die, and many of us get sick or have loved ones that do. We all share that; so we should share this requirement to have on alternative pbut to be responsible any pay a fair share in the face of that.

You didn't answer the question. You fail the honesty test.

You prove you don't care about the constitution. If you did you would have admitted that it was being misinterpreted purposefully. That you think that it should be amended to make it do what you claim "makes things fairer".That is why people like you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

He/she needs To be AT LEAST ONE of the following:
1. A proplerty owner
2. An income tax payer
3. A veteran of the US armed forces.

True, but Wal-Mart has competitors which are available to me if I decide I don't wish to support Wal-Mart.

The fedgov is a monopoly - it doesn't.

Last time I checked, Wal- Mart was a helluva lot more successful. But you're right, they serve a different function.
Read the first three words of the USCON until they sink in.
You know (but won't admit it) the living breathing Constitution actually died a long, long time ago.

But I love how you on the Left LOVE to dust it off and bash people over the heads with it when it suits your purpose - and ignore it when it doesn't.

I threw my proposals out there knowing something that drastic would never be implemented, but rather to illustrate what should be done.

If people were serious about saving what's left of the country, that is.

The USCON is a living breathing document.

First off, every Framer understood how the common law functions, it evolves. Secondly, it has within it a mechanism to change it, a mechanism that has been used several times throughout history.

Do you know what agency, outside of the three branches and the military, is created by the USCON?

I understand the Amendment process - and how it was created to be sufficiently difficult so people (through Congress and their state legislatures) would have to give serious thought and consideration before an Amendment was approved.

Can you show me - chapter and verse in the Constitution - where Supreme Court Justices by simple majority get to in effect amend the Constitution?

Your premise is false.

Article III gives the SCOTUS the power to decide the constitutionality oi laws. Read The Federalist #78 for a more detailed description of the SCOTUS to review laws, acts and exercises of power, most of the latter of which are implied powers.

Your premise is false.

Are you saying then that abominations from my standpoint (Roe v. Wade) and abominations from your standpoint (Citizen's United v. FCC) did not in principle amend the Constitution?

I took your advice and read Federalist 78. What I glean from it is that SCOTUS is much more powerful than Hamilton would have wanted it to be.

I stand by my assertion that your "Living, Breathing" Constitution has given us the situation where yes - the SCOTUS CAN amend the Constitution.

How nice when we agree with the decision. Not so nice when we don't

And how much better if issues like abortion and corporations having "free speech" rights were actually vetted through the amendment process as the founders envisioned it - cumbersome though that may be.

Deciding the Constitutionality of laws should not be the same as amending the Constitution.

Yes.

The judiciary decides what a law means. We can disagree about the meaning of words...privacy...person...

I took your advice and read Federalist 78. What I glean from it is that SCOTUS is much more powerful than Hamilton would have wanted it to be.

I don't see how you decided that. 78 makes it pretty clear that the SCOTUS will be the final word on whether or not a law a exercise of power is constitutional.
