For those who don’t understand why President Obama wants only one vote on the debt-ceiling before the 2012 presidential elections, this explains it.

These polls came out Monday afternoon, before the White House announced that President Barrack Obama was going to address the nation about the two plans – one Republican, one Democrat – presented to him in an attempt to raise the nation’s debt ceiling and avoiding a possible result.

The poll results are so bad that in itself they may be the reason why the president once again has decided to go directly to the American people to try to explain his case. For all those who believed that the president was winning the debt ceiling argument; they are wrong. For those who don’t understand why President Obama wants only one vote on the debt-ceiling before the 2012 presidential elections, this explains it.

There are three polls. The most important is Gallup’s weekly poll on the president’s favorability rating. They are the worst since he came into office in 2009. President Obama’s Job Approval rating, according to Gallup is down to 45 percent of respondents versus 48 percent who disapprove of his job. Furthermore, a closer look at the overnight poll shows that his disapproval rating is one point lower, 44 percent.

Rasmussen Reports has an even greater disparity between those who approve the job the president is doing, 44 percent, versus those who disapprove, 55 percent; and 11 point difference.

Finally the Rasmussen Report on how the voters look at the healthcare program passed by Obama and the Democrats the news is dismal. Only 36 percent of the respondents favor Obamacare and 57 percent are opposed to it; a difference of 21 points.

No wonder the president wanted to speak to the nation just one more time. Maybe this will be the time that he can say something that voters approve.
