President Obama's (un)popularity?
If you look on Yahoo Answers or comments to political articles on the Yahoo cover page, Obama is an extremely unpopular President who's basically done nothing right. But, if you look at the polls, including those taken by Conservative sources (like FOX) Obama trounces all of the Republican candidates except from Mitt Romney - and even that's a toss-up. So what gives here?

Barack Obama and his destruction of the United States is definitely "on purpose" and here is why:
He is a devout Muslim, do not be fooled.
Look at his Czars...anti-business. .anti-American.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussein Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University ..
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system
with government spending and entitlement demands.
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming.
Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.
Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal health care.. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).
Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt.
What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with
health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.
It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors.
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns
NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.
They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state?
Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussein Obama's plan all along.
His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.
Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?
It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.
It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.
It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).
A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).
All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America .
The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.
The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).
Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussein Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussein Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.

Simple math.. The Republican preference is split between a number of candidates while most Democrats are ready to vote Obama back in.
I said 'most' because I've spoken to a lot of Democrats who are considering staying away from the ballot box this year. They'll never vote Republican but they have no desire to re-elect Obama either.
P.S. I wonder if the idiots who give every answer a thumbs down have the intelligence to post their own answer. Or did they get a new mouse for Christmas and that's the only thing they've learned to do with it.
Obama being unpopular is just that nothing done right, some blame it on race, not true, he recieved a big amount of the white vote, because people wanted cahnge, the change he promissed didn't happen, even got worse ,all he did was blame bush, the republican candidates are really a sorry bunch,again no real choses ,michele backnmam is the only one thats not sold her ***, mitt, newt, .people i guess are not ready for someone that tells the truth, and is a women,that says something for the people electing the obama's ,mitt,and so on year after year, you rip what whatyou sew. keep voting for this bunch
To accurately get a good feel of the presidents approval rating just consider that there are no polls that show less that 65% believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. The direction it is headed is toward the Obama agenda. This ain't rocket science.
The polls are generic until a GOP candidate is chosen.
I guess the smart people who have answers and are answering questions on Yahoo! Answers are also more smart when it comes to politics and can see through the lies of our commie president.
Yahoo loves OBAMA, never forget that.
