A Field Poll released on Tuesday showed President Barack Obama's approval rating had dropped to a record low in the staunchly blue state of California. This decline includes the state's most left-leaning cities, which Field's director described as a particularly bad sign for Obama. "These are constituencies that have been strong followers," Field Poll Director Mark DiCamillo said, according to the Sacramento Bee.
The poll showed Obama's approval rating in California at 45%, down from a second-term high of 62% following his 2013 inauguration. It was also down 5% from the previous Field Poll, which was released in June, making it the first time the president's California approval was under 50% since 2011. Obama's approval dropped 11 points in Los Angeles County and 7 points in the San Francisco Bay area.
DiCamillo suggested the president's apparent issues with his base could spell trouble for California Democrats in the coming midterm elections.

Older democrats remember Watts... that's gonna hurt democrat support. Polls should share 'why' people are unhappy. Is it they want Obama MORE liberal - or that they've figured out he's nuts?
I don’t buy it. Brown is governing to the left of Obama at the moment. Why would he do that?
“It’s California. They wanted Stalin, and instead got Brezhnev.”
Yup, that about sums it up.
Obama is too conservative for Californians. They want Fauxcohauntas.

That's always gotten to me - referring to the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
It is the Democrat Party, is it not?
They are not The Democratic Party, IMHO!
"Can I get an Amen?"
Indeed it is. There are wordsmiths and wordthieves. Liberals are the latter. It's really queer the way we let them get away with it.
