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.

Now that the libs have 100% unchecked, unbalanced power, they will have no one to blame but themselves when all their new policies fail. Can’t blame republicans, can’t blame Bush.
The T-D should have linked to the poll so readers could view the results for themselves. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_VA_708.pdf
No surprise whatsoever. And he’s trying to shove national healthcare down our throats before his numbers get any worse, which they are destined to do as his stimulus fails and we fall greater and greater into debt.
Change we can believe in? How about “can you believe the change?“
“With an approval rating of 57%, (Mark Warner)’s the fourth most popular of 34 Senators PPP has polled on in the last year
The reason might be Warner is not in lock step with some of the Obama policies and voices his opinion. This from an email from Mark to me. One thing I am sure of Mark Warner is a Capitalist, not a socialist.

“A Risky Choice for A Risk Czar”
Yesterday, the Washington Post published an op-ed I wrote about my concerns with a proposal to empower the Federal Reserve with the authority to regulate institutions that have become “too big to fail,” a concept known as systemic risk.In my view, the proposal puts too much power into one institution, and could conflict with the Fed’s primary responsibility of enforcing monetary policy.
Instead, I propose the creation of a Systemic Risk Council, which would include representatives from the Fed, the Treasury Department, and multiple regulatory agencies, to be run by an independent staff with the sole responsibility to regulate systemic risk.
I outlined my proposal in the op-ed, pasted below. After you read it, feel free to share your thoughts with me, and I encourage you to share the op-ed with your friends and colleagues.
Best,
Mark
and now the realization that their dream is a nightmare. Lesson to be learned you do not elect a president to make history.
Never thought I’d say this, but he is ALREADY worse than Bush. We went from worse to catastrophic.
The very same poll has good news for Virginia’s Democratic leaders:
“With an approval rating of 57%, (Mark Warner)’s the fourth most popular of 34 Senators PPP has polled on in the last year. Tim Kaine’s numbers remain relatively strong as well at 49/38 and Jim Webb is at 46/42.
Since this was a poll of Virginia voters, its hard to understand why the TD omitted these results.
It certainly doesn’t help that folks are expecting him to fix in 6 months what the previous administration took 8 years to screw up.
Blindly following any poll is bad news
Blindly following Obama with his socialist agenda is not only bad for citizens but for the country.
More information is necessary to view the results as accurate or not. The exact questioning, the population segments, who was conducting the poll, how many people were polled.
Statistics are easily manipulated. I’m not defending the man, as much as questioning the poll.
Blindly following any poll is bad news.
The citizens of Virginia have realized what Obamas “change” meant. He fooled enough educated voters that they with the hand out voters who always vote democrat to get elected. What a price we are paying for being blind and stupid.
