Dems’ ObamaCare Bump Prediction Goes Down In Flames

Along with their poll numbers…

Via Hot Air

President Obama’s job approval rating fell to 47% for the week ending April 11, the lowest of his administration so far by one percentage point.

Obama’s weekly job approval average has fluctuated within the narrow four-point range of 47% to 51% since January of this year. The current weekly average more than anything else represents a continuation of the president’s generally lower approval ratings this year compared to the higher ratings he enjoyed in his first year in office.

On a short-term basis, Obama’s latest three-day average (Friday through Sunday) is at 45%, with disapproval at 48% — both of which are the worst three-day averages since Obama took office.


In the immediate days after the bill’s passage, Gallup showed a slight bump upward in Obama’s approval ratings, which Democrats hailed as the big comeback they’d predicted. But the overall direction of Obama’s approval numbers during the health-care debate has been plain to see. He started off with a 66% approval rating in May, as Nancy Pelosi readied the bill for consideration, and 59% in June when it was unveiled. He has lost a third of his support since its introduction, and Gallup reports that even among their sampling of the general adult population rather than registered or likely voters (a sample type that is traditionally more sympathetic to Democrats), ObamaCare remains unpopular.

Epic backfire.

  1. As Ace said “ObamaCare™ is apparently like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get…even if you’re the brain dead jackasses who wrote the fracking thing. “
