The number of voters nationwide who give President Obama good or excellent marks for his handling of economic issues has fallen to a new low.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters show that just 31% rate Obama’s handling of economic issues as good or excellent. Forty-five percent (45%) say the president is doing a poor job handling these issues. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Positive ratings for the president on these issues are down from 34% last week and are the lowest since he took office in early 2009.
Voters ages 40 and older are more critical of the president's economic performance than those who are younger.
Sixty percent (60%) of Democrats rate the president’s handling of the economy as good or excellent, compared to seven percent (7%) of Republicans and 26% of voters not affiliated with either of the major parties.

I see Ras has another one of those 5 point swings in 3 days on that Strongly Approve question.
Back to -15, while the world burns and Obama phones in his “present” vote from Vacationland.
And Governor Walker has 43%... : D
Gee I wonder why. Could it be due to rising food prices, $4.15 a gallon for gas, flat new home sales, and high unemployment?? Just a guess.
31% are bonafide ignoramuses.
Question:
Does a 33% positive rating equal failure? If a pol claims he’s in the center, then half of his negatives are from the left, and half are from the right. I think Ed Koch made this claim in NY in the 80’s, and cited the statistics proudly as proof he was on the right course.
I recall W’s poll numbers weren’t much better at times, but took consolation in the thought that half of the 66% negatives were from disaffected conservatives, believing the principal of the “lesser two evils” would secure them in an actual election.
Rose tinted glasses and silver linings—I should know better.
But I’m trying to figure out why polls consistently show ‘bam maintaining a 45% or so approval; 45% approval for a Dem computes to 50% + return in the elections. This worries me.
31% are is the sum of blacks plus those living off the government tit plus hard-core marxists. But I repeat what you said.

Just to show you that Dumbocraps are truly insane and clueless like their “messiah’.
Take out the blacks and it will be a lot lower, imho.
He is in Brazil to support the Commie Government there. Almost 2 years ago he arranged a 10 BILLION dollar finance package through the Export/Import Bank to finance a huge offshore drilling project off the Brazilian coast. The company doing the work has Soros as a large shareholder. Payback time, the "Won" Commie to another.
...but...but... I thought the economy has turned the corner... for the 18th time.
This economy has turned more corners than a cheap hooker. ;-)
Just shows how many ignorant and stupid people there are in America. Thanks to our corrupt government and our sorry education system.
I always wonder just exactly who these people are? If we could identify them and keep them from voting things would improve.
Who are this 31%?
This economy stinks on ice!
