Let's review eight data points from Fox's newly-released national survey, which is hardly an outlier in the national polling picture. The picture isn't pretty for the White House:
(1) The president's job approval rating is at an all-time low in the series (38/56). He's at (-37) among independents, (-16) with women, and (-12) with young voters.
(2) Obama is deep underwater on every single major issue tested: The economy (-18), healthcare (-16), immigration (-32), foreign policy (-25), Syria (-34), Ukraine (-19), terrorism (-18), and Iraq (-25).
(3) Fifty-nine percent of Americans say the US has become less respected in the world during Obama's presidency, compared to just 10 percent who say "more respected." More than one-third of Democrats agree that America's standing has slid under Obama. Fifty-seven percent of respondents call the president's leadership "weak and indecisive."
(4) A whopping 76 percent say the US should do more to combat ISIS, but a majority (54 percent) say Obama isn't prepared to do what it takes. The survey was taken before Obama's prime time address last night. Fifty-one percent said defeating ISIS will require ground troops, an assessment shared by top military officials, but rejected by the White House. Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the beheaders of two American journalists should be dealt with by the US military, as opposed to the criminal justice system (14 percent). Fully 77 percent believe it's at least somewhat likely that ISIS will attempt an attack on US soil in the future.
(5) For the first time in this series, more voters feel less safe than they did before 9/11.
Presidential approval ratings are a significant factor in midterm election cycles -- which we discussed in yesterday's 2014 polling deep dive.
(5) For the first time in this series, more voters feel less safe than they did before 9/11.
Ah-HA! THAT's why he slipped in the "...safer than we were on 9/11" BS line, his handlers had already told him voters had concluded they weren't.
Was listening to this liberal moron on Limbaugh today go on how great Obama is and doing a fine job.
These are the idiots in the 40% that wouldn’t believe you if their house was on fire.

Democrats cannot be trusted with our national security. They have always been weak. We need to oust all of the democrats before they get us blown up.
I slept a lot better when President Bush was at the helm.
I slept a lot better when Republican foreign policy teams were at the helm, and that goes all the way back to Eisenhower.
It was also to smack down a FNS poll.
Too bad nobama’s not running this November.
Wait until he grants amnesty.
89% approval with Blacks and 73% approval with Democrats in general. Obama plays to his base
They made him into something even he could not live up to. They sat high expectations, and all he wanted to do was play golf on courses he probably could never get on, if he were not president.
Thus, a great fault is with the Media. They claim they are the ones who have the responsibility of vetting candidates. They failed at that. The weekend before the 2008 election, Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose discussed how little ‘we know about Barack Obama, what he reads, what his interests are.’
They sat the expectations extremely high, while forgetting that Obama had made it that far primarily due to affirmative action — wherein he got special treatment. That is why we have never seen his college transcripts.
Obama’s homeland security secretary Jay Johnson said today that Obama wanted to wait until after the midterms. Obama had just denied that the delay was political on Meet the Press, now Johnson said the delay was political.
Do these morons ever meet? They can’t keep their lies straight.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.............................loser.
What the heck is that on my tagline?
“In time the true source of my power will be revealed”......
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction”.
Well the bastard finally told the truth.
