President Barack Obama is ending his fifth year in office with the lowest approval ratings at this point in the presidency since President Richard Nixon, according to a new Washington Post/ABC poll released Tuesday.
Obama's approval rating in the poll stands at 43%. By comparison, President George W. Bush had a 47% approval rating at the end of the fifth year of his presidency. And all other Post-World War II presidents had approval ratings above 50% — with the exception of Nixon, who, amid the Watergate scandal, had a dreadful 29% approval rating.

Obamatron turns ‘ugly’ into an art form.
The press bludgeoned Nixon 24/7 for two years straight before his numbers went that low.
The press has covered up for and kissed 0bama's arse for six years straight.
Obama’s popularity is only low because the media has been relentless in opposition to him. </ sarc
Bingo!
And these poll numbers are barely reported on at all.
Imagine if Hussein were a GOP Prez!
He's the NWO's closer. The Mariano of closing out the United States. He knows what he's doing and what his place is slated to be in the new order.
More top of the hour news you won’t see.
If 0bama were a Republican he would have lost his first election in Illinois and been jailed for colluding with a corrupt judge for getting his opponent’s sealed divorce records released.
Nixon was a RINO, but he did not explicitly declare war on US citizens except dem operatives who already declared war on him. His price controls were horrible, but not like progressive takeovers in auto industry, student loans and healthcare. Zero is attacking the working class and arming up the federal agencies to quash any open protest to tyranny.
I just can’t imagine Obama caring about his poll numbers. His narcissism would not allow him to believe he is unpopular.
Considering what the News media did to Nixon, it’s an insult to compare him to the big O.
A good book about how Nixon was set up...

A real eye opener!
anybody but Boner would let (lead) Congress to impeach
If the media was balanced, Obama's numbers would be lower than Nixon's--none of the Nixon scandals killed anyone, whereas Fast & Furious and Obama's ho-hum response to the attack in Benghazi did result in Americans being killed...and Obamacare is destined to cut a lot of people's lives short (either because they lose coverage and can't get the medicine they need, or the death panels decide their lives are not worth saving).
All true.
NIXON PAID A HIGH PRICE FOR HIS MISTAKES which were child’s play compared to the Presidency of Clinton and the current clown.
I’m totally surprised that the clown is at 43%. It is hard to find anyone who supports him other than his loyal band of Liberals, homosexuals, and those who have their hands out for ‘FREE STUFF’.
what a mess they have made of a once great Nation.
Pray for America folks, and then VOTE TO CLEAN HOUSE.
To all his supporters and the black community this is a white poll, white numbers and we are all racist. He’s doin just fine with the black folk and the mentally challeneged
A lying fraud.
When the Congress brings up articles of impeachment then I will think that this presidency is like Nixons. Waiting...
Do you think it would be possible to buy Obama off? Like has been done with various tinpot dictators thru the 20th century. Find a country willing to take him and send him off with $100 Million. Be cheap considering.
