Obama fundamentally transforms America: Fewer extremely proud to be American...

Barack Obama and liberal Democrats are most pleased. They think we should be ashamed.
Fewer people are “extremely proud” to be American, according to new polling from Gallup.
The pollster finds that 54 percent are “extremely proud” to be American, which is down from around 70 percent between 2002 and 2004. The percentage may have jumped in those years after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Gallup released the new numbers just before the July 4 holiday.

Gallop: Two-thirds of Americans think the federal government is too big for it's britches...

Democrats and the GOPe hardest hit...

Via Gallop:
One reason Americans are dissatisfied with how the government system is working is that they believe it is too big and powerful. Two-thirds of Americans (66%) are unhappy with the size and power of the federal government. These views potentially hamper President Barack Obama’s ability to propose large-scale government solutions in his State of the Union speech next week. However, this problem is not a new one for the president. Roughly two-thirds of Americans have expressed this view consistently since at least 2011, after the measure jumped a full 10 points between 2008 and 2011.

Gallop poll finds unemployment spiking in the last 30 days...

Unemployed men outside a soup kitchen in Chicago, 1931

We have to hope this is a polling anomaly, but Gallop is using a 30,000 adult sample and rolling 30 day average....

Via Breitbart:
Outside of the federal government’s Bureau of Labor statistics, the Gallup polling organization also tracks the nation’s unemployment rate. While the BLS and Gallup findings might not always perfectly align, the trends almost always do and the small statistical differences just haven’t been worthy of note. But now Gallup is showing a sizable 30 day jump in the unemployment rate, from 7.7% on July 21 to 8.9% today.
This is an 18-month high.
At the end of July, the BLS showed a 7.4% unemployment rate, compared to Gallup’s 7.8%. Again, a difference not worthy of note. But Gallup’s upward trend to almost 9% in just the last three weeks is alarming, especially because this is not a poll with a history of wild swings due to statistical anomalies. Gallup’s sample size is  a massive 30,000 adults and the rolling average is taken over a full 30 day period.
Are the effects of Obamacare and excessive government regulations beginning to take a massive toll?
