Barack Obama’s presidency isn’t just shrinking, it’s losing support among its most critical point — its base. Less than two years ago, Barack Obama became the first Democratic president since FDR to win
re-election with a popular-vote majority. Since then, his support has dropped dramatically — not just overall, but among important constituent groups.Comparing 2012 exit poll results with an Aug. 8 McClatchy-Marist nationwide poll shows how far Mr. Obama has fallen with various segments of the population. In 2012, Mr. Obama won among women 55 percent to 44 percent. Today, his approval rating among women is 41 percent, with 51 percent disapproving. Among political moderates, Mr. Obama has gone from a 56 percent approval and 41 percent disapproval in 2012 to 42 percent approval and 45 percent disapproval today.
Among Hispanics, the president has gone from a 71 percent and 21 percent winning
margin in 2012 to a 34 percent approval and 46 percent disapproval split. Using the same comparison, Mr. Obama has seen the Midwest, those making less than $50,000, 30-to-49-year-olds, and both college graduates and noncollege graduates flip against him.Pivotal independent voters, already having voted against Mr. Obama 45 percent and 50 percent in 2012, now register
just a 35 percent approval and 55 percent disapproval rating.More

When the Republicans take over both House and Senate they can overturn some of Obama's executive orders. Running the presidency like his own toy.
The bigger problem, is the American people that voted for him, and his idiot spread the wealth, no longer working socialistic ways. America is done, and I am ashamed to be in the generation that witnessed a once superpower fail to the towel head he really is.
10:55 - it may not happen if the Republicans keep up their internal squabbles.
Look out for the country - not just yourselves....
He can still count on the Bama-fone Obamanites, thats got to be worth about 12%!!
