The same 51 percent also say they will vote against Obama. It's early to write anyone off this far from the election with many more events will likely shape the election campaign. People are worried about the economy so unless the economy picks up and unemployment numbers improve Obama may have an uphill battle to win a second term. Poll Two polls show Obama's approval numbers are down the last couple days. The cause could be that Obama made demands on the Egyptian government to have a transition immediately but hours later violence broke out among protesters that are opposed and support the Egyptian government. Gallup Poll and Rasmussen Poll The Tea Party's ideas are popular with the majority of people. About 70% want the GOP to consider ideas of the Tea Party.

Some polls have showed lower levels for repeal but only when people are given an option in the poll to pick and choose changes they would make to the bill. Given a straight repeal of the entire bill or keeping it all, the majority would repeal. Many political pundits have speculated that Obama's speech in Tucson Arizona would help his poll numbers but in the days following the speech his poll numbers declined a few percentage points. There were many that criticized the speech and event for it's appearance of being a political rally rather than a Memorial service. Political supporters of Obama openly stated that Obama could use the speech as a political event to revive his connection to the people. Obama's poll numbers decline after Tucson speech.

Bush since he left office in 2009 is at 47%, the same as Obama currently has in their poll. As time goes on ex-Presidents approval ratings usually increase as partisan controversy declines and people look back at the facts of history. There is also a bit of nostalgia that helps all ex-Presidents approval ratings. It's likely that George W. Bush's approval will continue higher in the future as its up almost 20 points since leaving office less than 2 years ago. For the first time in a Ramussen poll more people say they are a Republican than a Democrat at 36% to 34.7%.
