President Obamas disapproval rating has shot up to 53 percent, the highest rating the McClatchy-Marist poll has recorded for him in nearly 30 surveys.
Obama's approval rating stood at 43 percent the poll released Tuesday.
Obamas approval rating has been hanging in the low 40s for the last few months as the 16-day government shutdown and the shaky rollout of the healthcare exchange website dominated the news.
But there is plenty of disapproval to go around.
A plurality of people, 38 percent, would grade all Washington officials with an F, according to the poll. Another 31 percent would give them a D and 25 percent would give them a C.
Only 1 percent of the public, well inside the margin of error, would grade their elected officials with an A.
Thirty-three percent of people approve of the job congressional Democrats are doing, and 22 percent approve of congressional Republicans.
A near majority, 48 percent, blames Republicans for legislative gridlock. Thirty-eight percent blame Obama, while 12 percent blame both.
Earlier results from the poll found that 68 percent of people were skeptical that lawmakers could come to a budget agreement this week to extend government funding.
That number mirrors the percentage of people who believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, Another 30 percent think it is on the right track.
On a generic congressional ballot, Democrats and Republicans split the vote evenly at 43 percent each.
Support for Democrats spiked during the government shutdown, but a number of polls have since found that number evening out.
The poll surveyed 1,173 adults and contains a 2.9 percent margin of error.

In other words, Obama's not left-wing enough.
I have him at 100% disapproval. It’s been there from the very beginning.
That’s weird. He’s currently at -153% at my house.
Hey that works, too!
I’d say the continuous, arrogant sneering and doubling-down aren’t helping him any.
>>Another 30 percent think it is on the right track.
Let’s put politics, ideology, and accident of birth aside for a moment. How can 30% of Americans believe that the country is on the right track?
Excellent question. At least 25% will never abandon 0bama by reason of race. No matter how bad things get, to them "It's a black thang ..", plus most, if not all, are living the high life on YOUR hard earned tax dollars.
The thing that really worries me the most is 0bama's systematic purge of the military. When he said "my military" a couple of months ago, he did not misspeak.
Obama say: Here is my Insurance Tax! NOW GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!! This is not a Chicago-style stick-up! This is an Exchange!
People say: What do we get in EXCHANGE?
Obama say: You bunch of fools* ARE the Exchange! You give me YOUR money, and I take away your freedom of choice.
People say: OSHIT!
Obama say: Next year my Insurance Tax will require a LARGER investment from you bunch of fools* to me.
People say: Now we know why Healthcare Exchange Marketplace is really OSHIT, short for Obamas Socialized Health Insurance Tax.
Obama say: “You bunch of fools* voted for me, now pay up!!!!!”
[Editor’s Note*: The word “folks” in Obamaspeak means “fools,” as noted here in the translation from Obamaspeak to Realspeak.]
People say: BTW, are we being sold, like the slave auctions of old, on Obamas Exchange Marketplace?
Obama say: Always vote to support my best friends, the RINOs.
Do they even give Senate Democrats as an option for congressional gridlock? I didn’t think so.
Life and death lies from the One. How many will die before this is repealed??
The media could only sit on their polls for just so long. You can bet there are more out there that are just as bad or worse for Dear Leader.
