| Midwest Blues for Obama in Latest Round-Up of Poll Ratings by State |
| 2009-11-28 |
| President Obama's job approval ratings are below 50 percent or in negative territory in five of the seven states we are updating in our round-up of state polls (one of the new polls, for Texas, did not test job approval ratings, but instead asked about the impact of Obama's economic stimulus package and his health care proposal). The other updated states are Arizona, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina and Wisconsin. Tom Jensen of Public Policy Polling, which did some of the new surveys cited here, observes: "Obama generally seems to be having problems in the Midwest. A Des Moines Register poll (Nov. 8-11) showed Obama's approval rating there dropping to 49%. A Quinnipiac poll a few weeks ago in Ohio showed 50% of voters disapproving of him there to just 45% approval. A recent Rasmussen survey in Minnesota found him only slightly in positive territory, 51/48. He won all three of those states last year by margins ranging from 4 points in Ohio to 10 points in Iowa and Minnesota." |

| #12 There seems to be very quiet buyer's remorse out here in Deep Blue Iowa. I'd suspect the real total is lower, it is just not a politically correct thing to say in public at this time. The next few years should be interesting. |

| #10 Didn't mean to imply something illegal, instead debunking comment #3. I was contrasting Barack keeping his law license up to date until he was elected president, while Michelle let hers (most likely) lapse as soon as she went to work for Valerie Jarret at the city gov and well before having any kids. |

| #9 The article you link doesn't suggest anything out of the ordinary there, ed. Is there some other information that suggests otherwise? |

| #8 Barry Obama abandoned his license to practice law after it was revealed that he lied on his application about not having any aliases, aka Barry Soetoro and he is not allowed to applying again by the Illinois Bar Association. Let's not propagate false accusations. Barack Obama is listed as "Voluntarily retired" in 2008. No revocation is listed. On the other hand, Michelle's law license is listed as "voluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law." and "on court ordered inactive status." Last year registered 1993. What happened to Michelle Obama's law license? |

| #6 No need for conspiratorial nuttiness here. Jimmy Earl Carter III is doing enough on his own to torpedo his presidency. The chance that unemployment will be less than double digits by Nov 2012 is low, and diminishing by the month. Just imagine the effects on new job creation of a new unfunded trillion dollar health insurance mandate + trillions in public debt crowding out capital for lending to small-med businesses. Ain't seen nothin' yet. |

| #3 Maybe they found out, Barry Obama abandoned his license to practice law after it was revealed that he lied on his application about not having any aliases, aka Barry Soetoro and he is not allowed to applying again by the Illinois Bar Association. Illinois attorneys affirm Mr.Obama was disbarred for lying under oath which is a felony and the Bar admits no felons. And we also know that his wifeÂ’s law license was retracted by the state of Illinois. Actually her license was "court ordered inactive" |
