President Obama’s poll numbers are historically low

 Barack Obama’s presidency is historic, there is no denying that. But his poll numbers are equally historic in a bad way. Barack Obama’s poll numbers have fallen faster than almost all the presidents numbers in modern day history. Only Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton’s poll numbers have dropped quicker.

  Considering that the Obama era was ushered in with such hope that Washington wouldn’t be bogged down in politics as usual and that Obama would end the era of partisan politics, (remember: no red states, no blue states, only the United States), this fall from grace quicker than Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson is unprecedented.

  President Obama has let all of the good will that he inspired during the campaign dwindle away as people begin to realize who he really is and what he really stands for.

  While we can expect to see a spike in his poll numbers if the economy returns we can also expect to see a precipitous drop-off if he is foolish enough to take on immigration reform that includes amnesty, (the same issue that drove away the last of President Bush’s remaining loyal supporters.) If he takes on immigration reform he will be running into the arms of a Republican majority in congress in 2010.

  While Bill Clinton was able to shrug off falling poll numbers he was much more of a moderate than Barack Obama ever will be. Obama will not be able to move to the center, he doesn’t have it in him after spending his life surrounded by radicals. This is who Obama is and the American people are finally starting to realize it.
