Record-High 71 Percent Disapprove of How Obama's Handling Deficit, Says Gallup

The number of people clinging to the hope and change bullshit is dropping dramatically. While I'm glad that people are starting to see the light, I can't help but wonder what took them so long. It's not a big surprise that obama is destroying our Country bit by bit, he has been doing it since day one.

No matter how bad things get and how obvious it is that is directly related to the business killing, economy killing, job killing policies of this administration, there will always be some who feel obama can do no wrong. We can't change that, and frankly, that's ok. As long as the vast majority of Americans feel the need to change directions, we will be fine...

In polling done a little more than a week after he signed legislation to lift the legal limit on the federal debt by as much as $2.4 trillion, the percentage of Americans saying they disapprove of the way President Barack Obama is handling the federal budget deficit hit an all-time high of 71 percent in the Gallup poll. 

From Aug. 11-14, Gallup asked 1,008 American adults: "Do you approve or disapprove of the way President Obama is handling the federal budget deficit." Only 24 percent said they approved while 71 percent said they disapproved.

Obama's approval for handling the deficit fell 8 points, and his disapproval rose 8 points since the last time Gallup asked this question, which was in a survey conducted May 12-15. At that time, 32 percent said they approved of how Obama was handling the federal budget deficit and 63 percent said they disapproved.

Gallup has polled Americans on whether they approve or disapprove of the way Obama is handling the deficit a twelve times during Obama's presidency. In those twelve Gallup surveys, a majority has never said they approve of the way Obama is handling the deficit.
