Obama's "enthusiasm" levels are down by 15%, today, and 20% on a three year average. Here is what that means in terms of context. Patriots, be much encouraged !!!!!!

<<<<<  No wonder they were worried about turn-out at the Democrat National Convention and Obama's acceptance speech.  Heck, only 10,000 showed up for the May 5 campaign kick-off (see the picture),   and most of them were Ohio Universality students. He had 35,000 in the same arena in 2010.  

The only number that is truly significant on the chart,  below,  is the one labeled “Strongly Approved.”   “Significant,”  I say,  because this is a measure of the enthusiasm level of the Obama campaign.  At the time of the 2008 elections,  this number was at 45% and higher.  It has been in the 20 percentile bracket for all of the past three years,  with few exceptions.  One such exception, were the bounce days of the DNC.  Now that this convention is history,  Obama has lost 4 points as to the enthusiasm, and has dropped back into the 20 percentile bracket.

Source:  click on this,  Rasmussen Reports,  for a day by day record of every day of the Obama presidency.  You will be surprised at how quickly Obama lost his standing with the American people.  

Measured enthusiasm for his presidency is approximately half of the 2008 season,  and he won that election by only 7 points. 

Besides this number,  there are demonstrable events tied to “Strongly Approve”  and its fading memory . . .  all of it under-reported.  

Turn-out:  the reduction in excitement levels for this president can be seen the comparative crowd sizes between “then”  and “now.”  We all remember the stadiums filled with 60,000 to 80,000.  Contrast these ’08 events,  with present times:

May 5,  the day Obama staged his official kick-off campaign event for 2012.  It was held in an on-campus arena at the University of Obio.  In 2010,  Obama drew a crowd of 35,000.  On May 5,  only 10,000 to 12,000 showed up.  All of the upper deck was empty,  and the campaign moved people onto the floor of the basketball arena,  in a deceptive mover to fool those who saw only pictures of the event. 

May 5. All of upper deck is empty.  We were 
scammed on the attendance.  10 to 12 thousands
showed up - most were students !!  This is in Ohio
and [perhaps] just 4,000 adults took time to attend.  

The only “super sized” crowds,  this season,  are found as Obama goes from one college campus to another.  Outside the college campii  (not a word, I know,  but it sounds right, no?) events,  Obama’s crowds are quite “normal.” 

Election day tour-out:  In 2008,  total election day turn-out was 130 million,  up from  121 million of the 2004 election.  No one believes the 2012 turn-out measure up to that 130 million number.  A more realistic prediction is 123 to 125 million or less.  Most pundits believe that this reduction (5 million fewer Americans voting) will parse out 70% / 30% ,  Democrat/Republican,  respectively. 

Rhetorical changes:  no more Greek pillars (can you imagine the arrogance of this idea);  no more campaign trips to Germany as if Obama was running for President of the World;  no more global warming gatherings;  no more speeches in Cairo.  No more Obama praise songs sung to Christian choruses giving honor to the Christ of God. Most noteworthy,  no more glowing promises about the rate of unemployment,  job creation and recovery  (remember the Summer of Recovery 2010?). 

All of this has been replaced with class(less) warfare,  cracking humorous as he makes fun of his enemies,  and excuse after excuse (Bushes fault, Katrina, earthquakes,  the GOP,  unscheduled hurricanes and tornadoes).  No more predictions,  no explanations for advancing whatever goals he has in mind  (does anyone know what he has in mind?),  no more promises. 

Youth vote:  in 2008,  Obama had 13,000 college age adults helping with his email and phone campaign.  They are all gone.  In fact, it is feared that this voting block will be down by 20% in 2012.  No more talk of “Obama’s youth army.” 

The DNC:  while we are aware that Obama’s acceptance was moved inside.  What is not known,  not reported at all in the Marxist Media,  is the fact that the first day of the DNC is the only day in which storm clouds rained down on Charlotte.  That evening,  the storms clouds moved away.   All day Wednesday was beautiful as was all day, Thursday.  Not a storm cloud in sight. Yet,  Obama used “fear of lightning strikes” as cover to avoid the embarrassment of May 5.  And it worked !!  The Marxist Media was fully compliant.  But cover up is all about reality,  is it not?  And the reality is this,  “Strongly Approve” is not so strong.

Point of post:  to give a real-time context to the disappointing numbers of “Strongly Approve.”
