In the Gallup daily tracking poll released on December 24, before the attack, Obama's approval rating was 51%, with 42% disapproval. In the daily Rasmussen daily tracking poll, conducted during that same baseline period of December 21-23, Obama was at 44%-56% (Rasmussen consistently has Obama's approval lower, and disapproval higher, than other outlets).
In the polls released yesterday, which were both conducted entirely after the attempted bombing, Gallup has Obama at 53%-41%, and Rasmussen has him at 47%-52%. Today's Rasmussen poll is 46%-53%.
No, the pseudo outrage over Obama's "reaction time" was a non event. Not the jagoff terrorist they caught. In other words the hoopla you guys made up, was a non event....as usual.
Not surprising, since it essentially was a non event; with exception to the crazies, who would go ballistic over anything.
It showed a serious breach in security. It was only by pure dumb luck that hundreds weren't killed. Obama needs to be concerned about the way it was handled. He lacks a sense of urgency.
I guess it's just people trying to play politics, but I never understood where this idea came from that there was some "lag time" in Obama's response.
Do they consider his response being press conferences or actually working? Because Obama was on top of the incident almost as soon as it happened. By the time he spoke to the press, he had already launched an investigation, elevated security, and ensured it was only an isolated incident.
Just strange since the right always attacks him for being on camera too much. Seems they'd like their president to work and not talk.
Oh well. He handled the response great. Hopefully they can figure out what happened up front.

Do you think it was as serious a lapse in security as 9/11? Or the shoe bomber - you know, the one it took George Bush 6 days to respond to?
Just curious.
