I find it curious, maybe even a little fascinating.  &#8220;Americans Disapprove of Obama Policy on Nearly Every Issue &#8212; According to a Gallup poll, 42% of Americans approve of Obama\u2019s gun policies while 54% disapprove.  On taxes, 41% approve and 57% disapprove. On the economy, 39% approve and 60% disapprove. On &#8216;the situation in the Middle East between the Israelis and the Palestinians,\u2019 36% approve and 55% disapprove.  And on the federal budget deficit, 31% approve and 65% disapprove.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only area in which Obama gains the support of a majority is on &#8216;national defense\u2019 issues, but the poll was conducted before North Korea reportedly tested a nuclear weapon on Monday as Obama seeks to diminish America\u2019s nuclear arsenal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/160385\/obama-rated-highest-foreign-affairs-lowest-deficit.aspx\"><img id=\"eZObject_72733\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushGallupPolls585_2.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So you have the North Koreans nuking up, the Iranians nuking up, under Obama\u2019s watch, and we\u2019re getting rid of ours.  But, I mean, this is the Gallup poll.  Let me give you the numbers again.  I\u2019ll just give you the disapprove numbers.  People, Americans disapprove on practically every issue with Obama.  Gun policy, 54 disapprove.  Obama\u2019s tax policy, 57 disapprove.  Obama\u2019s economic policy, 60% disapprove.  Situation in the Middle East, Israelis and Palestinians, 55% disapprove.  Federal budget deficit, 65% disapprove, yet the guy got elected and is running around acting like he was reelected with a supermajority and an accompanying mandate.  He did get reelected. <\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I think there\u2019s an explanation for it.  What?  What did you say?  Well, it\u2019s simplistic to say that voters are idiots.  I mean, certain low-information voters are somewhat ignorant, but this polling data includes those in the low-information voter subgroup.  I\u2019ll tell you what I think it is.  I think it\u2019s Obama\u2019s ad campaign destroying Romney.  Two things.  We\u2019re gonna have to face the reality of all of those lies, vicious, he\u2019s a felon, he doesn\u2019t care when some guy\u2019s wife died, he\u2019s okay with murder, he hates dogs, he\u2019s a rich guy with money outside the country. He doesn\u2019t care about you. There\u2019s no question that stuff was effective.  There\u2019s no question people believed it, didn\u2019t want to take a chance with it.  And you couple that with the realization that four million Republicans who did vote in \u201908 didn\u2019t vote in 2012. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m gonna chalk those people up to being conservatives fed up with the Republican Party moving to the center.  I think that\u2019s your explanation.  You can say they\u2019re idiots, but Obama didn\u2019t run on any issues. All Obama did was run on what a dangerous reprobate Mitt Romney was.  That\u2019s the sum total the Obama campaign.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, there\u2019s one thing the Republicans can take away from this Gallup poll.  Americans disagree with Obama on nearly everything by large margins.  You Republicans can stand up and voice your disagreement with Obama all day, and a majority of Americans will agree with you.  You do not need to be afraid of disagreeing with him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The poll is out.
