The latest polls show
that President Obama's approval ratings are in free fall like a hot air
balloon with the fire extinguished; his approval rating has declined
eight percentage points over the past month. CNN reporter Chris Cuomo described the decline as "dropping like a stone." Lara Brown of U.S. News and World Report,
declared, "The Obama presidency becomes more Grant than Lincoln every
day." Even his standing as a "leader" has shown a six-percentage-point
drop among those who think he is a decisive and strong leader. Worse, CNN reports
that half of the public no longer trust the president or find him
honest, credible, or trustworthy. The worst news, though, is that 54
percent of the public disapprove of the president's job performance - up
nine points over the past month. Taken as a whole, this is a meltdown
of public support for the president and the first time since November
2011 that a poll revealed that a majority of Americans view the
president negatively. Significantly, it is the Democrats, young people,
independents, and minorities - the president's former friends and
formerly his strongest supporters - who are causing the shifts in
approval. In fact, the biggest drop this month is among the under,
which dropped 17 points since last month.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
