Don't approval ratings only matter when you are going for re-election?

Michelle may still win in 11 years if the next president after Obama is even worse. Regardless of which party gets elected, the odds are the next one will be worse. She will be able to run on the good old B. Obama days when the economy was the best it has been in 15 years (at that time).

If Michelle was to win running on Barack's legacy, this country really would be forever lost at that point.

Expect Dems running in 2014 and 2016 to channel Clinton more than Obama.

Not when national news airs Obama's plummeting ratings as millions continue to lose their health insurance. Hit the taxpayers pocketbook and you get some interest in blaming someone.

Nope. If Obama can't deliver votes and campaign donations to other Democrats, they won't support his agenda.

We are now a year away from the next mid-term election and the presidential approval rating will have an impact on how other members of his party fare in their bids to be elected to federal office. Displeasure with Bush gave us a Congress controlled by the party of Democrats. Displeasure with Clinton resulted in a Congress controlled by Republicans. Displeasure at the actions of Obama and the Democrats with regards to the (un)Affordable Care Act resulted in, to use the president's own words, a "shellacking" of unprecedented and historical proportions in 2010.

Imagine what his approval rating would be if he were a Republican.
:faint:

Could conceivably be much higher than they are at the moment if that were the case. Partial government shutdown wouldn't have occurred because if Obama were a Republican then he would have issued a blanket waiver that covered everyone from being subjugated by the law until such time as the Democrats decided to listen to the people and repeal the law entirely. Healthcare.gov would never have been live to fail as miserably as it has, people wouldn't be looking at the loss of plans and doctors they liked and wanted to keep. In short, everything that is driving down his approval rating at the moment would have been non-factors entirely.
