President Approval Polls

         A couple of new polls were released and they made news because of the disparity in the results. A Gallup poll showed a 46 percent approval rate for Barack Obama while a Reuters/Ipsos poll came in with only 37 percent approval. Any insight into polls like these is not to be found simply in the figures as mentioned above. For instance in the case of Barack Obama there are going to be core groups who will voice approval whatever this president does and however many disasters he constructs.
         The Afro-American community has been steadfast in their approval and I can at least see why and even empathize with them. Having a Black man become the president of the United States was a shot of adrenaline into that community. This has softened the impact of the many failures, lies and the incompetence that would follow, and losing all of this would be very difficult to say the least! Whatever figure in the above polls that is closest to the truth, you can see about ten percent or so coming from this sample
         The Gay community provides another substantive addition to approval ratings, the hardcore feminist will never leave a Democratic president, and there are still many union members who believe that Barack Obama is on their side, when in fact he is not on their side, rather the side of a Communist and overall Leftist agenda that seeks desperately to bring the economic power of the West down in order for third world nations to rise, nations who cede allegiance and power as they fall for the lies fed them, often over the barrel of a gun.
          The division between the government employee and non-government employee sectors of America is increasing on a daily basis as the latter pays more and more to the former's nest eggs, and amnesty supporters are another large faction that this president courts.
          If we could determine the above figures with the accuracy that polls inaccurately claim to have, and then add these figures up, they would be very close to that 37 percent approval rating in the Reuters poll. This would leave a very small percentage of Americans apart from these special interest groups who approve of this president and are not outraged with his radical agenda. In many states these figures are enough to continue to elect Democrats or their non-but near-identical twin 'moderate' Republican brothers and sisters.  The news media is loaded with these groups as is academia and these alone are enough to subdue defections and hold the groups together.
         I may watch the upcoming State of the Union address......but with the sound off. I'm not looking forward to it. If I were a congressman, as I have written before, "wild horses couldn't drag me there," but I need to see these Republican faces, to have their reactions etched into my memory should God even give us time for another election.
         As I have written on a number of occasions, we are two peoples in America. The only remedy for such a radical disunity is in that which causes yet another division, resulting in those who are God-fearing and those who fear the concept of God. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only thing capable of dissolving these groups, humbling the prideful, convicting the greedy, leading us to repentance and bringing any kind of unity to America!
