WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama's job approval rating, weighed down by soaring gas prices, has plunged below 50 per cent, giving his political opponents what appears to be an opening in the November election, a new opinion poll showed.
The survey by ABC News and The Washington Post indicated that only 46 per cent of Americans now approved of the way Obama is handling his job and 50 per cent disapproved.
The situation was a reversal from early February when 50 per cent approved of the president's performance and 46 per cent disapproved.
According to the survey, the drop was attributed to soaring gas prices threatening to crimp America's slow recovery from a recession.

Funny you say that, my father in law is a Michael Moore type lib. He was crying about gas prices and i said I hope it keeps going higher until Nov. He starting yelling that its not mr obamas fault and I laughed and said dont tell me tell the American public who shortly will be blaming him
I remember when gas was $1.89 and the media was blaming Bush.
Now it’s over $4.00 - I can’t understand why they aren’t blaming Obama.....
“His rating should be about 12%”
And that would be the Black vote. With them, it’s skin color uber alles!
-——Gas prices could be $8 per gallon, 22% unemployment (50% or better in the “minority community” and he could be caught in bed with a live 8 year old girl or an 8 year old dead boy and his people would still vote for him.-——
True, but I can’t even see him beating Romney. If he does win, well, America was fun while it lasted.
-——This is a perfect example of how the American public is being dumbed down to moron level.
You have a radical Marxist POTUS destroying every element
of traditional America, but all the morons can focus on is the cost of gasoline.——
That was my reaction until I looked at the numbers, which are within the normal fluctuation range for him. Nevertheless, $5 gas prices will be the last straw. I could see him releasing the strategic oil reserve in October.
One cannot dismiss the voter fraud that will occur in November. Here is PA we will probably be getting a voter ID law into place in the next few weeks. However, the RATS and the ACLU have already announced plans to fight the issue in the PA Courts. As such, there will probably be a restraining order placed against enforcement of voter ID in PA during the November elections. Pittsburgh and Philly are loaded with RATS — many of those voters are deceased and many of them have no ID. If the law is not in place and used here in PA in the fall, PA could undoubted go to Obama via dead and unidentified RAT voters.
Now this is the way I like to start a new week. Let the trend be our friend, por favor.
His approval rating should be nil and it ain’t just over gas prices.
“Now this is the way I like to start a new week. Let the trend be our friend, por favor.”
ABC NYC is reporting that obama’s numbers are up due to the resurging economy. Propaganda at its best.
ABC NY might want to look at the ABC News poll.
Or, what about another of his unconstitutional Executive Orders allowing EBT cards to be used at fill-up...yes, that will work with the “grass roots.” What a mess!
My guess is that he will nationalize oil companies and fix the price of oil; in the nations interest of course. He will follow the lead of his favorite Venezuelan hero.
“Fox News just said that 65% disapprove of his handling of the situation. Ain’t that a surprise?” Wow! If this is what Fox is saying imagine what the REAL number is!
obama has an ace up his sleeve—The Republican Party Establishment.
If he does do that, and I do not doubt your guess for one minute, You will not hear any objection or critism from the Republican Party leadership. Only praise.
“I don’t care which one the voters focus on, just so long as it’s enough to vote Obama out in November!”
Hussein and his minions don’t look worried — about this or anything else. In fact, they’re surprisingly calm. They have something up their sleeves and it ain’t a-gonna be pretty for us come election day.
There was a time when you would be ridiculed to no end for a statement like this.
Sadly, you are quite possibly correct.
You got it Brother.
Of course that leaves out the queers who are on his side too.
Stand-by for spin and recovery. The sheeple will love him again. They have the attention span of a ferret. Their fawning will continue.
How can you beat someone who promises you free? All the right offers is opportunity, risk, work and freedom. Freedom takes work and responsibility... neither are popular ideas after generations of sloth.
