Poll shows Obama popularity slippage in Va.
A new poll shows President Barack Obama's popularity in Virginia has slipped below 50 percent.
The Public Policy poll of 617 likely general election voters showed Obama with a 48 percent approval rating, which is within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.
The survey showed 46 percent disapproval and 6 percent not sure.
The opinion is highly polarized, the poll shows, with 95 percent of Democrats but only 9 percent of Republicans viewing him favorably. Fifty-two percent of independents disapprove of his performance with only 38 percent approving.
The poll was taken June 30 through July 2.

ggrich, again I asked for facts, and got none from you. Just your opinion, strongly influenced by the flavor of your kool aid I am sure.
You have shown no facts, or anything but YOUR opinion (and other opinions) about Fox News. Now show me the “tingling leg” quotes made on Fox NEWS (not commentary for the kool aid drinkers). Or keep your opinion - and learn the difference between a bot and a thinker. bot.
ggrich your hero Obamas performance so far has been so dismal that you can come up with no positives so as usual with the socialist liberal democrats who want to destroy our country all you can do is attack FOX News. Funny how you think a network has so much sway when the “FACTS” now are showing just how flawed the democrats in power are.
By the way Obamas approval rating in Ohio has plunged from 67 percent to 47 percent. Not a good sign for his policies.
2012 has to be the end of the Obama 9/11 assault on America. Our constitution and bill of rights have endured and will get those like Obama and his supporters in the end.
Never in our history has such a bunch of enemies of the country held any power until Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Rangle, Shummer and the other traitors to the constitution of the U.S.
Jack and mrwrong you two must really like kool-aid because you always seem to mention it but that is what children drink though, makes sense now.
Typical response when facts and truth are presented to show how 1 sided and unbalanced your favorite network and heroes truly are. You lash out at the person with childish name calling. So pick up your crayons and go watch your FAUX News and get your fix.
You know quite often a liberal puts up an intelligent, thought provoking post that is worth reading even if one disagrees.The theres gqrich.His/her posts define a wacked out liberal.Thats right gqrich only your info is correct because YOOU say so. Yur posts are absolutely rIdiculous LOL.And wrong.
FanTastic you’re right.I’m not here to defend Bush ,but Obama has smartly co-opted alot of Bush military policy.Which makes Mr. Obama a LIAR.
ggrich your assessment of what is factual and what is not is strictly your own flawed opinion which is worth nothing. Your ranting on here if it were not so disturbing would be funny and ignored by citizens who value the constitution, bill of rights and freedom.
Many independent studies clearly show a bias with the regular news outlets favoring democrats, liberal and socialist policies and against those citizens who hold the principles of our republic as the course we should still be on.
You better lay off the kool aid, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, CBS and PBS. They have completely brainwashed you into a mindless drone parroting their manifesto.
Godfather when over 9,000 people are polled and from their own mouths when asked questions on the subject of the war it showed the group that stated that they received the majority of their news and information from FAUX News to have the most misperceptions. That is a fact from the results of the poll my friend. Information derived directly from the mouths of FAUX NEWS WATCHERS.
Direct quote:“The polling, conducted by the Program on International Policy (PIPA) at the University of Maryland and Knowledge Networks, also reveals that the frequency of these misperceptions varies significantly according to individuals’ primary source of news. Those who primarily watch Fox News are significantly more likely to have misperceptions, while those who primarily listen to NPR or watch PBS are significantly less likely.“ A fact based on their polling, these aren’t opionions. Please look at the chart that shows that FOX watchers were the highest group at 80% to have had more than 1 misperception on the subject, again another fact from their polling not an opionion.
You can like it, love it or hate it I could care less but FAUX News is a complete and utter joke and no one in their right mind should take them as a serious news organization becasue they are far from it.
They spin the truth such as in this example in the form of Non-reporting. A news story about rising gas prices blames regional environmental clean air standards. According to Fox News, “some officials say environmental regulations are driving up prices by forcing fuel refiners to develop different blends.“ This is only partially true. The reporter does not mention other factors including the lack of refining capacity in the United States; OPEC holding back production; the simple economics of high-demand in the U.S.; poor fuel efficiency of U.S. vehicles; and the fact that even with price increases, the U.S. STILL has the lowest cost per gallon of gas in the world. The Fox News spin is that the only reason gas prices rise is because of those liberal environmental laws.
Here is another way that FAUX is just that. On the July 7 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity deceptively cropped President Obama’s answer to a question from Fox News senior White House correspondent Major Garrett about the Cold War to suggest that Obama did not acknowledge the actions of past U.S. presidents in freeing Eastern Europe. In fact, as part of his answer, Obama stated, “I’m very proud of the traditions of Democratic and Republican presidents to lift the Iron Curtain,“ a comment Hannity edited out of the clip he aired of Obama’s response… Media Matters for America has documented a pattern by Hannity and other Fox News personalities of cropping Obama’s comments abroad to misrepresent their meaning. And on and on and on and on.
So please save it. If you want to believe their fairy tales be my guest.

Fantastic - in order to not make this an epistle, I will just bullet point my responses instead of copy and pasting your statements and my responses.
I agree with you on Stem cell, but the point was a policy change. Obama changed Bush’s.
Universal Health - I dont agree that it will not happen soon, but I do maintain it is a policy (and fundamental) shift from Bush.
ACORN - I should have made it a point to say this was an example. Stimulus. Bush Cut Taxes - Obama Spent - another fundamental change.
Gitmo - Obama is closing it. Policy is not past actions, but future intentions as well.
Russia - Bush was confrontational, Obama is concilitory
Iraq - Again, the intent, not past actions. Obama has stated the intent of getting out regardless of what is going on.
Tax Cuts - on Taxpayers. Giving money to someone who does not pay taxes is not a cut - it is welfare.
tax Increases - Same things.
Please note that I am not endorsing or condemning any of these policies either way (yes I do have opinions on them), just pointing out differences.
And like you, I am afraid that there are just too many similarities as well.
To those who insist on bringing race into the discussion Obama is not black. At best he’s one-half black, one-half white. To declare that Obama is black one must subscribe to the age old racist belief and laws that stated anyone with 1% black blood was classified as officially black.
Get off the racism. Obama is neither black nor white. The only thing is he is an American, he is merely a politician and he can be praised or criticized.
