Noonan: “People stop listening …”

July 30, 2013

A question I’ve asked before: Have you ever listened to one of President Obama’s weekly internet-radio addresses?

I haven’t … and don’t know anybody who has.

More broadly … do you listen to his speeches?

The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan hit the nail on the head on ABC’s This Week Sunday.

“I think every president in the intense media environment we have now, certainly every two-term president, gets to a point where the American people stop listening, stop leaning forward hungrily for information.

I think this president got there earlier than most presidents. And I think he’s in that time now.”

That presents a context the President’s current speech tour aimed at bolstering support for ObamaCare and quashing the “phony scandals”.

How’s that working out?

======

The RealClearPolitics poll-of-polls has Obama’s approval rating underwater …  under the 45% Mendoza Line … and  trending down.

=====

While Gallup & Rasmussen – the polls I average to read what’s happening — have Obama’s approval pegged at 45% and 46%, respectively ….

Two polls – Reuters & The Economist – peg Obama’s approval at only 41%.

Ouch

Maybe Peggy Noonan is right …
