    The scandals are starting to take a toll on Obama. Even 63% of Democrats think there should be a special prosecutor for the IRS scandal. And Obama's approval rating is starting to fall......

    "The spotlight on the controversies has taken a toll on Obama’s standing. In the latest survey, 49 percent disapproved of his performance in office, with 45 percent approving. In a Quinnipiac poll released May 1, he received a 48 percent job-approval rating, with 45 percent disapproving.


    Obama was judged honest and trustworthy by 49 percent in the latest poll, with 47 disagreeing. In September 2011, the last time Quinnipiac asked that question, 58 percent said Obama was honest and trustworthy and 37 percent said he wasn’t.


    Earlier polls taken after the controversies erupted showed little impact on Obama. A May 16-19 ABC News/Washington Post survey gave the president a 51 percent approval rating, with 44 percent disapproving, virtually unchanged from March."

    "In the survey released today by Hamden, Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University, registered voters favored a special prosecutor by 76 percent to 17 percent. Those backing such a move included 63 percent of Democrats."

    Since my best guess tells me that Obama is being dishonest with us, and therefore he should not be in office, or at least neutralized while there, I am very glad that his numbers are dropping.

    "Obama was judged honest and trustworthy by 49 percent in the latest poll"


    ANYONE who would rate a politician, regardless of party affiliation as "honest and trustworthy" are damn fools.
