When CNN says you are unpopular, well, you're in BIG trouble, especially if you're a Democrate; especailly if you're Obama !!!

Editor's notes: Over the years, CNN has proven to be one of the most partisan news reporting agencies on the American Media scene. For the purposes of this post, this extreme partisanship is the very thing that adds credibility to the following numbers and the growing distrust they represent. Understand that two weeks ago, Gallup -- for the first time -- recorded negative numbers for Mr. Obama. And now, another polling bastion for Obama has hit the skids. While 70% approve of him as a person (no one called this editor !!), 62% fault Obama for the growing national debt and 51% disapprove of his policies, generally. An even more significant number, in our estimation, is the fact that only 46% of the population actually approve of Obama's political antics. Strangely enough, his strongest numbers center in and round his fight against terrorism (55% approval). That this is true may have something to do with the fact that Obama and his boy, Eric Holder, are rethinking the civil trial of KSM in New York. What is startling in this last polling category is our (Midknight Review's) assertion that Hussein Obama is a pro-Muslim anti-war freak with little respect within the ranks of our military and no regard for the freedom and traditional values for which these men and women believe they are defending. With that, we give you CNN's own review of their most recent poll -- jds.

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll reveals that 51 percent of respondents disapprove of President Obama's job performance.

Washington (CNN) – For the first time, a CNN poll has found that a majority of Americans disapprove of President Obama's job performance.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Monday, 51 percent of respondents disapprove of Obama's job performance and 46 percent approve of it.

Obama's approval rating has dropped steadily each month since December, when it was 54 percent. His highest approval rating in a CNN poll was 76 percent in February 2009 shortly after he took office.

The new poll was conducted before the House on Sunday narrowly approved the Obama administration's signature domestic policy proposal: health care reform.

The measure, which Obama plans to sign on Tuesday, represents the biggest expansion of federal health care guarantees since Medicare and Medicaid were enacted more than four decades ago.

In fact, health care was the policy area that drew the second highest negative rating, with 58 percent registering disapproval. The highest negative rating was 62 percent for his handling of the federal deficit.

While his performance ratings have slid, Americans personally like Obama. The poll found that 70 percent of respondents approve of him as a person, and only 25 percent disapprove.

On the economy overall, 54 percent disapprove of his work and 43 percent approve. He scored well for his handling of the environment and education, as well as on national security.

"Obama scores some of his best numbers on 'commander-in-chief' issues - Afghanistan, Iraq, and terrorism," said Keating Holland, CNN polling director. "In January, 51% approved of Obama's handling of Afghanistan; that number is now 55%, an indication that the public has a positive view of the latest military offensive in that country."

The CNN poll was conducted on March 19-21 through telephone interviews with 1,030 adult Americans. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
