Obama's approval ratings take another downturn. This news comes out. Coincidence? 😰

Usage of gas has actually been down.

So supply and demand not so much as inflation and fiat currency.

Barry's numbers are down so it's spin the plates time at MSM.

Today's Rasmussen Reports:

"In a hypothetical general election matchup, Mitt Romney and President Obama are tied at 45% apiece. If Rick Santorum is the GOP nominee, the president leads by five, 47% to 42%."

It does look fake. But there are probably some laws against tall signs around the capital. I'm guessing.

Demand in my area is way down, it's what I do. We haven't worked full days in a month, good thing I have a contract that pays me 10 hours regardless of working 6 or 8. We usually work 4/12 hour days a week or more.

I'm saying that if the job market is better (more people going to work), consumer spending is up (more people shopping), and inflation is under control, then it would make sense for gas prices to rise simply from that increase in demand over the same reference point of time.

No increase in demand, the gallons going out are down, meaning people aren't driving as much. The job market report is nothing more than a shell game with numbers.

Prius's are Ghey

Recent spike in oil prices was due to concern over Iran and Syria. The spike lead to current gas price increase. So too has slowly coming out of recession. Obama's change ratings are influenced by gas price increase, among other things such as all the R primaries and all the face time R's are getting.

Definitely more from inaction, he could lift the drilling restrictions and the that would drop the price of crude within days. It has been done before and it worked.

Yes, his poor numbers have nothing to do with the fact that he's the worst President since Jimmy....scratch that. Even Jimmy Carter was better then this clown. If the mass media was actually honest with the American people, instead of feeling the need to protect their golden boy, this guy's approval rating would be in the single digits.
