The thing the anti-Obama zealots forget about the polls is that, when the polls break the answers down further, it turns out that amongst those dissatisfied with Obama, around 30% are dissatisfied because he doesn't go far enough, i.e. that he's not liberal enough, he's too middle of the road (they're right, you know). Those are people that will never, ever, under any circumstances, vote for Michelle Bachman, or Newt Gingrich, or Willard Romney, or any conservative darlings of the right. Add those to the 45-50% who consistently favor Obama, some of them softer than others, and consider the general disgust at the Republicans in Congress, and the GOP is going to have a really, REALLY tough road in 2012. Good.
Jimmy Carter is wearing a huge smile these days now that
he is no longer the worst president in American history.
Carter never was. George W. Bush is the only living president or ex-president commonly held to be among the bottom six .
As a matter of fact, Carter consistently ranks well above George W. Bush, among presidential scholars, historians, and the public at large/ Again you display a clear penchant for talking through your hat, H2O (I'm being polite here in describing what you're talking through, you understand).
Read 'em and weep.

@MontereyJack,
Bork easily figures to go into the books as our worst and most inept president and it figures that way given the fact that he came to the job with zero qualifications for it, beginning with being born in Kenya. Jimmy Carter will go into the books as #2. They used to call Carter Mister Twenty Twenty, meaning 20% inflation and 20# interest rates at the same time which, prior to losing the nation's bond rating was instant qualification for all-time worst.
@MontereyJack,
Jimmy Carter gave away the Panama Canal
and dragged down the Shah of Iran,
giving rise to the Ayatollah.
Be frustrated with Obama.
@OmSigDAVID,
Jimmy Carter's most major accomplishments in life are the loss of the canal and the regimes in Iran and Rhodesia. The American people fired his ass in 1980 for good reason.

Yes; very true.
Thay found a
GOOD replacement.
I wish that he 'd chosen a better VP.
I disapproved when he chose Bush.

Obama is America's worst president ever.

Funny thing, Reagan was always able to walk and chew gum (and even talk) at the same time without a teleprompter in front of him.....
Maybe somebody could tell me why demoKKKrat presidents aren't supposed to be able to do that since it doesn't sound like asking for terribly much on the face of it.

Unfortunately, that's all he could do.
@gungasnake,
jizzy is angry and confused because Obama is a total failure.
Since HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII, he IS THE PRESIDENT and will remain so for the NEXT SIX YEARS.

"My fellow ... what's that word, Kenny?"
"It's 'Americans,' Mr. President, and my name is Jimmy."
"Thanks Timmy. My fellow Americans ..."

I'd put the figure at closer to 10 percent, but otherwise I agree completely.
Roughly,iIt's about 15% of total population, 30% of those who disagree,
