NBC/WSJ poll: Obama Approval Sinks to New Low (Personal approval under water at 41%)
NBC News ^ | Wednesday, October 30, 2013 | Mark Murray

Posted on 10/30/2013 3:47:21 PM PDT by kristinn

President Barack Obama’s approval rating has declined to an all-time low as public frustration with Washington and pessimism about the nation’s direction continue to grow, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Just 42 percent approve of the president’s job performance, which is down five points from earlier this month. By comparison, 51 percent disapprove of his job in office -- tied for his all-time high.

The NBC/WSJ pollsters argue that no single reason explains Obama’s lower poll standing. Rather, they attribute it to the accumulation of setbacks since the summer -- allegations of spying by the National Security Agency, the debate over Syria’s chemical weapons, the government shutdown and now intense scrutiny over the problems associated with the health care law’s federal website and its overall implementation.

Those events have combined to erase some of the advantage the president gained with polls showing most Americans blame congressional Republicans for the shutdown.

And for the first time in the survey, even Obama’s personal ratings are upside-down, with 41 percent viewing him a favorable light and 45 percent viewing him negatively.

How could 41% support this vile, lying piece of demon flesh? Talk about low information voter—try completely brain washed, checked out idiot voter.

My initial thought as well. How on earth could 41% still love the POS?

13% of the population is black.
15% of the population is liberal moonbats
13% of the population is ridden with white guilt.

30% of Americans are full on communist.

Every poll has that core of hard leftists.

20% are commies
15% are blacks

= 35% floor that it’s nearly impossible for a black democrat to go below.

Basically he has lost nearly everyone he can lose.

Why in the heck isn’t it 14%? His approval rating has never failed to amaze me. 47% idiots. Or more.

You keep citing that election but I notice you never mention fraud. Did you manage to get through the entire electoral cycle w/o reading a single report on massive, widespread fraud?

Apparently we are never going to even acknowledge the fraud.

Watch everyone's Eeyore faces when Mc Cauiffe wins Virginia by 500 strategically needed votes.

"Over sampled democrats with no likely voter screen. Maybe Cuccinelli will beat McAuliffe after all."

From your mouth to God's ears. We haven't given up here in Virginia.

You are dead on. The Liberal Party cheats at levels unimaginable even a decade ago, and the Liberal Lite party says nothing. Dems are outright stealing elections & not even bothering to hide it any more. The GOP is silent. Maybe Cruz will speak up about it. He’s really our only hope.

{^) Yeah, but ... she's a kid. She's a dumb sheep kid who adopts a pre-determined template with the rest of the cool kids. She's young and inexperienced. She may well look back on that pic in 30 years the same way a lot now-conservative baby boomers look back at themselves marching with all the hipsters in the anti-war movement: with a wince of pain for being such a dope!

She's a kid. The ones with no excuses are the older folks who should have figured it out by now, those are the real idiots.
