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.

Gosh, didn’t everyone assure us that Barry “won” the government shutdown?

People don’t like spending hours watching 404 error messages, having their insurance cancelled, and finding that their disposable income was just disposed of on insurance price increases.

“The press must be spotting him 30 points...”

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

Careful folks. This is coming from Enemedia.

A likely scenario is the Marxist Progressive Communist Leftists (MPCL) of the Enemedia recognize that Ø has now a limited shelf life, and expires in 3 years. They are mindful of engineering an electorate mindset that, for an office that will be basically an “empty seat”, can be fixed with the next MPCL ‘Rat that runs for POTUS.

Its a shame that 41 percent of this country are so far up Obama’s ass with love that they will never see the forest through the trees..that fake smile, phony through and through, but they still worship the ground that Commie walks on

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

Boy... they must have cooked the goose and then thrown her into a cauldron of hot grease and burned her into a charcoal briquette. They had to manipulate numbers in a huge way to show him above 40 points. These people lie almost as badly as obama and anyone associated with him.

I'd wager it would be more like 30% if the RINOs weren't disgusting back-stabbing saboteurs only interested in profit for their globalist paymasters.

We hope that is the case, but America is still full of idiots, as proven by the Commie’s reelection.
Marxist education and Marxist media have destroyed America.
The Communist knew the keys to takeover.
