In what I hope may be yet another indicator that more and more people may now be awakening from whatever spell it was that they were under and that caused them to see Barry as something other than what he is, fewer and fewer people now approve of the way that he is doing his job. Barry’s job approval has taken the most precipitous decline it has seen in more than a year and has dropped 7 percentage points in just three days, that according to Gallup.
In the three-day period ending on Oct. 23, according to Gallup, 53 percent said they approved of the job Obama was doing and 42 percent said they did not. On Oct. 24, that dropped to 51 percent who said they approved and 44 percent who said they do not. On Oct. 25, it dropped again to 48 percent who said they approved and 47 percent who said they do not. On Oct. 26, it dropped yet again to 46 percent who said they approved and 49 percent who said they did not.
Granted, a drop of this significance has occurred before, but we weren’t 10 days from an election. The last time we saw such a drop was back in May 2011, when Barry's job approval dropped 7 points in four days, sliding from 53 percent on May 24 to 46 percent on May 28. Now I’m sure there will be many who will say that job approval numbers rise and fall, but I don’t see how they cannot be concerned when the election is so close.
All I can say is that I hope these numbers are right. Like I said, I would really like to think that more folks really are taking stock, so to speak, of where they are today compared to where they were four years ago. They listen to the toxic rhetoric coming from the ‘Barry/Slow Joe’ team as well as the policies that are being talked about and are becoming less sure that the direction that Barry wants to take us does not bode well for either themselves or, more importantly, for their children.
